Ahh it's only 10:30! I came into work early this morning because my momma needs her car so I have to be home by 5. As difficult as it is to get up early in the morning (I literally had an argument with myself in my head this morning... "Get the fuck up, Eugene!" "Errrahhh, one more snooze!"), leaving work with a decent amount of daylight hours left is totally worth it. It takes me twice as long to get to work if I go in early because of the ball-busting traffic, though. What the fuck, that's what I get for being an enthused employee...
This past weekend was fun-filled and gluttonous. Friday was my dear friend, Johnny's, birthday so I used that as an excuse to spend a lot of money on food and wine. I had prime rib three days in a row at two of my new favorite restaurants:
The Lawry's Carvery at South Coast Plaza, and
Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar. Well, they're actually both owned and operated by the same company, but the prior is a lunch bistro type place and the latter is a fancy restaurant. Anyway, both are exquisite! I might even be so bold as to say that the beef at Five Crowns even surpasses that of the House of Prime Rib, though overall the House is still tops.
Oh man, I was presented with a great offer that I had to pass up too. So for the past few months I had been hearing about
Coachella - this really awesome musical festival out in the desert touting like 100 performers, including some really awesome bands like Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay, Rilo Kiley, Keane, Wilco, and WEEZER - pretty much like everyday on KROQ. Well, on Friday I hung out with Joan and it turned out that her sister, who works for Interscope, had 2 extra tickets for BOTH days with a FREE hotel room (on top of the 2 that she already got for Joan), and she asked me if I wanted to go, but I refused because we had already made plans for Johnny's birthday! See what a great friend I am? God, I wanted to go soooo badly though! Shooooot...
So after a wonderful weekend of hedonism with my bros, and some hoes, I am being ambushed with things to take care of. In the next five weeks I have two quizzes, a book to read, a midterm paper, a final paper, six analysis journals, a presentation, two research assignments, a legal memorandum, another final, and a little thing called the LSAT, on top of 33 work hours per week. I also have to find a loan for school and find a place to live in Berkeley, as well as make plans to move all my shit up there, by mid-June! What a way to end my days under the sun in So. Cal. It will be really nice to be back in the Bay Area, though, and in a more stable situation. Maybe then I can find a nice, fun-loving, intelligent, non-psycho, fairly self-secure, single
woman to spend my days with... hmm, perhaps I should stay away from Asian girls then.
I have some pics from the weekend to post, but I left my camera at Richard's lavish Spanish castle, and the guards will go Abu Ghraib on me if I come unescorted. I will post them soon, with pics from Ming's birthday gathering at the ever trendy
Sutra Lounge tomorrow night. Birthdays, birthdays, draining my bankroll...
I will leave you with a haiku that I wrote in English class last night...
"Education"
Learning -- Life's essence.
How can this be?! I must know!
Discover, then die.
