5.17.2002So if you noticed the photo of the day today, I went and saw Star Wars: Episode II 'Attack of the Clones', and I had a wonderful time. Take note of the ticket. I bought it at 1.43pm, for the 2pm show. Weird. The Paseo Colorado mall is pretty much unknown to the rest of Los Angeles. Granted, it was a show during the day, and I do expect them to have more business tonight and the rest of the weekend. But wow. I didn't stand in line one bit. The theater was semi-packed, so at least it was good to know people were going to see it. This Episode definitely redeemed the series, after Phantom was a disappointment to say the least. (I still enjoyed it, that's the weird thing...so how was it a disappointment? Jar-Jar, and a stupid boy, that's how.) If you had doubts about the Star Wars series, fear no more. This kicked ass. I drooled the whole time, and there were many times where the theater exploded into cheers and applause. :0) And as a mark of a true nerd, I went to it by myself. :0D I'll probably go again, with a friend this time. :0P Anyway, Danielle and I got that 3 bed, 2 bathroom apartment in No-Ho, so her worries of finding a place is over. I'm a bit upset that I have to sign a 6-month lease. I told her I'd move after 6 months, because I do not want to make No-Ho my home. I'll be moving at the end of the month, but I'll probably pack a few things over there before then so I don't have to haul so much in one day.

5.14.2002this air is blessed, you share with me. Danielle and I found this three bedroom, two bath place in No-Ho (North Hollywood, for you non so cali's, (southern californian's for you non...uh. nevermind.)) and it's.. ok. My mom gave me the advice... that I had been spoiled living in Pasadena in a really nice, big, cool place like this apartment. So, everything I look at will be sub-par to what I'm used to. So yeah, I can see her point. But I just want to find something at least.. close to equal. I know other nice places are out there. We just have to look hard and fast for one. Anyway, I gave the go ahead to try to get this 3 bedroom place, and we're just waiting to hear back. She was supposed to get word about it today, but it hasn't happened yet. Not sure, but that could be a bad sign. I told Danielle to also get her money back from the tiny "New York style" apartment, as I don't want to see myself living there as some backup plan. I'm confident we'll find a place by the 19th (what Danielle has paid up to, to live in her place she's at) and now Tyrico has joined WestSideRentals.com and I paid Ty $10 bucks to use it for the next week until we find some place. :0) That should make it easier, WSR's has a lot of good finds. It's just a matter of getting to them before someone else does. I've been downloading a lot of good music lately, so if you want to hear a little bit of what I like, here's some of my favorites from the recently downloaded mp3's, go check 'em out: Jawbreaker - Boxcar Face to Face - Best Defense Bigwig - Moosh Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down Boy Sets Fire - (Compassion) As Skull Fragments on the Wall Thursday - Standing on the Edge of Summer Thursday - Understanding in a Car Crash Thursday - A Hole in the World Jawbreaker - I Love You So Much It's Killing Us Both And...the end. :0) PS - Almost forgot, I saw myself on "ANGEL" last night on the WB. Who else saw me? :0P blogged by Chaz @ 4:33 PM |
5.12.2002For most of us, that beginning is our Mothers. Well my weekend with Rachel (or "weekend plus", as I would like to call it. She was here since Thursday, and left today.), was as wonderful as I could have imagined. She does something to me, that ignites this playful, "i'm a kid again" attitude that I haven't had for awhile. When you're growing up, and worried about paying this, or working on that, you forget about just being silly and careless. You forget about how alive it can make you feel. :0) We went to Santa Monica, walked around on the beach, had lunch, and spent time in rush hour traffic. The latter didn't bother me at all, because... time didn't matter. I was in no rush to be somewhere. I wasn't angry at how slow traffic was moving. It all didn't matter. I was too wrapped into the moment; wrapped into her. We hung out here in the apartment, playing games, and watching tv. (maybe a little kissing, too) We didn't always have to be going somewhere or doing something to enjoy ourselves. Most of our time was spent sleeping, next to each other, and everything was alright. :0) She left an hour ago. (I miss you.) ------- Ok. So as far as non-Rachel stuff is concerned... the place Danielle found for us, is tiny. SUPER SMALL. So I have insisted that we at least TRY and find another place before just commiting to this one. I have looked up at least 9 places that sound bigger and nicer than what she had chosen. She only wants the place because it's "cute, and cheap." Yah well, Danielle, cute and cheap doesn't have to be CRAMPED and OLD. I swear my bedroom was the size of a large walk-in closet. The place had NO ammenities. The only neat thing about it was that it had hardwood floors. That's it! BLAH! So we have 'til this wednesday to find another place before commiting to this tiny "New York style" apartment. (We don't live in New York, Danielle..let's get a California style one, please.) Wish us luck! And on a final note. Happy Mothers' Day, Mom. I love you, and thank you for helping me follow my dreams. You and Dad are the best parents a kid could ask for. Keep up the good work! ;0) blogged by Chaz @ 4:29 PM |
5.08.2002PS- I'm also working on this.And I want to say that I am in love with Photoshop 7.0. <3 blogged by Chaz @ 7:40 PM |
and I'm not afraid to jump. Yes, I'll save you from the "i haven't blogged in awhile" apology. I'm just lazy. So I saw Spider-man. Very entertaining movie, I liked the nerdy Tobey McGuire as Peter Parker. He did a fine job. I felt like Green Goblin could have been played better. It was as if William Defoe took the whole thing as a joke, like he didn't really care about the role that much. Definitely not one of the great superhero-villian performances like Jack as The Joker in Batman. Anyway, that's my quick synopsis. Now, what's been goin' on? Well TV season has died off, and that leaves me without much employment. I submitted my resume last week to a few places to earn some income for the summer. I was contacted by all of them. :0D So I interviewed, and I have decided between the two places who wish to hire me. It was a fairly easy choice. Job #1 is working with children at a rich beach club resort in Santa Monica. So basically it's playing games with kids on the beach all summer and getting paid for it. Job #2 was technical support for a domain name registration company. Pretty easy choice. Especially since both are paying about the same, and in fact I'll be working MORE hours at job #1 (which is a good thing) than I would be at job #2. Now job #1 doesn't really start until June 22nd or around there, when kids are done with school. But, I do sort of start on Memorial day weekend, which is the 25th of this month. Then I work every weekend until the little tikes get out of school, and then it's full time fun! :0D Now, the other news that I haven't fully stated, is that I met this amazing girl in San Francisco, and she will be here spending time with me this weekend starting tomorrow. I think I'll just leave it at that, because some things don't need explaination. :0) I will post more entries this month, I promise. <3 blogged by Chaz @ 6:38 PM |
