Googlle

2009-09-29T12:55:00.001-07:00

I was in Mexico when Google turned 11. I only had internet access roughly 3 times I was there. The one time I did need to use Google.com it transfered me to google.com.mx and it said "Googlle."

I chuckled and said to my companions "Oh, in Mexico they call it 'Goog-yay' how cute." Clearly I was wrong.

Trainer

2009-04-10T14:00:00.000-07:00

It's been forever and a day since I've posted huh? Whatever.

Equinox gives all new members a free Trainer evaluation and session (to suck you into it). I had this nice guy whose fiance is a UCLA grad '07 and also worked at Google (I have no idea who she is). We sort of talked about how awesome LA is and then this happened:

Trainer: So what are your goals?

Me: uhm... strength building?

Trainer: What for?

Me: ... to look good by summer...?

Trainer: Ha, are you from around here? You have an LA vibe.

My assumption is that if I had a "Bay Area vibe" I would be:

Not superficial (wrong).
Superficial but crafty. "I'm doing this for my health. Better yet, it saves the planet one step at a time instead of using my Prius." (right).

lifecasting my orthodontist

2008-12-04T19:01:00.000-08:00

Through my vapid internet life experience I have learned that mostly everyone wants to over share in one way or another (if you didn't, I wouldn't have be able to use Google to find out how slutty you are. Seriously, try turning off SafeSearch and do a search "[your name] is a slut." See? The overseer even thinks so). Point of the story is that my inner fame whore is very tempted to lifecast on justin.tv, but my more practical (or sober) side tells me that it is not such a good idea because

I'm too pretty, oh gosh obvs this is too much potential for everyone to handle.
Maybe I'll become a politician (ha)(but not so much ha because I really do want to change Cupertino)(DARN that 'walking bridge' to the middle of nowhere? was that necessary Cupertino? The answer is NO).
I could be boring, but I AM NOT.
I have ugly times (oh please god, do not show me ugly times again, wasn't that like years 9 to 19. That's because I just went to see the ortho today and commemorated my 14th year seeing them of which went like this: retainers, braces, headgear, and 3 THREE FRONT teeth pulled out).
This will really cement the fact that my life is a routine of

going to work
arguing with //that one//
and saying expressions in the real world as if I'm chatting to them "oh, sigh, I am tired" and "oh, grumble, that was my stomach" and "Snore, yeah omg that she is so preggers."

Worst Day Evarz

2008-11-20T13:00:00.000-08:00

I'm retrodating my post here because I shall need to remember the horrid day that my dentist ditched me without enough anesthetics for my deep cleaning.

Why today was awful:

The dentist was over 30 minutes late for my deep cleaning when I had to go to another doctor afterward (which I was late to)
The dentist pulled a "switch-a-roo" and gave me their new dentist who only speaks English and Viet, whereas the dental assistants only spoke Chinese. I was their translator even though I had 4 hands in my mouth (thats what she said).
I asked for more anesthetics but the dental assistant adamantly refused to let the new dentist give me more because the new dentist was "on watch."
Dear ASS-TO-THE-ANT I NEED MORE NUMBING<>
Half way through the cleaning it started to feel really weird, as if she was scraping my gums (uh oh)
At the end it started hurting. WTF i hate youuuuuuu.
It was 11:40 and I was already going to be late to my next appointment. I was not able to get some other teeth stuff done that required needles and anesthetics of which now I must come in AGAIN to be shot in the mouth for your crappy crappy crappy service. (The dentist is nice, her assistants are retarded).
Dermatologist was a-okay.
I got back to work and was trying to bring a nice full plate of friend chicken up the stairs until suddenly I trip and all the food lands all over me.

I hate you life.

Michelle Obama or Prop 8

2008-11-06T15:22:00.000-08:00

On election night I was trying to figure out what concerned me more: Michelle Obama's dress or Prop 8.

Prop 8 wins in the end (in importance, and in -ugh- winning). But nonetheless, Michelle you had me really worried there.

Adopting baby tigers

2008-10-30T09:39:00.001-07:00

This may not sound interesting to you:

So I had a dream where I somehow went through a zoo and adopted some tiger kittens because their mom was missing, only to find out that I just decided to TAKE them without notifying anyone. This was problematic because I had no idea what sort of milk I needed to get them. They looked like this (but maybe white):

I had to leave them at home while hitching a ride with Dan to go to some work offsite that was watching a movie (dreams don't have transitions, whatever). Apparently he drove the wrong way and we were late. Somehow we got there and there was only enough tickets for half of our team, but thankfully Beah stood up and said that there was a secret budget for an offsite that our boss did not tell us about.

So I think this basically teaches me:

I should not get a baby tiger, unless there is a mother tiger that can nurse the baby tiger.
Post more photos of cute animals.
I subconsciously think that Beah is the gateway to management. [Probably True]

my nose brings all the boys to the yard

2008-10-29T23:24:00.000-07:00

The nose thing is driving me insane. Seriously, why nose? WHY do you torture me. I really hope it is not allergies.

Meanwhile, Nah-goo-wen gave me this golden nugget (he is suppose to look like this famous soccer player):

nose itches

2008-10-27T09:16:00.000-07:00

I constantly scratch my nose. I think the doctor told me that it's super dry and that the more I scratch, the more irritated it gets, and the more it's going to be itchy again anyway (thanks adult allergies). My coworkers definitely notice my scratching (since now that is how they mimic me) and I think they may think that I'm a coke fiend.

I am not a coke fiend. Please world, cure me of nose itching.

Prop 8 Yessers

2008-10-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

I commented on someone elses comment on a 'Yes to Prop 8' video. Of course I decided to stalk the person who thinks children need non-gay marriage so that they can have moms and dads (cause, you know, only married people have children. Bradgelina, where are thou?). This is what I found on her profile [http://www.youtube.com/user/eezyone]:

Hello Friendly voice.

Isn't it amazing how the emotional crowd spews such venom when the cold hard facts do not mesh with their agenda?

Study the issue, especially on gay websites, and discover the ultimate agenda is the abolishing of marriage and all the laws that protect society from polygamous, poly amorous and pornographic safeguards.

They can delete our comments, but they can not escape their turmoil.

Take care and be strong

Love
Mark

Pornographic safeguards? How are the facts cold? or hard (thats what she said)? Mark, do you have an issue with porn? Is that why you don't want gay marriages? Because gay marriages would mean more porn?

If you're right, that's a win-win for me when Prop 8 fails :P.

matching swim suits on the hills

2008-10-21T13:35:00.000-07:00

This is the episode where confused face girl (Audrina / Boredrina) has "boy issues" because she wants MTV to actually care about her boob job. Anyway, the couple in the background has matching bathing suits... but oddly I have a feeling that they'd look pretty gorgeous together in person (ugh, life is unfair).

Hilarious, and Approve

Passing by people

2008-10-20T17:36:00.001-07:00

Hey, why do you ask me "how's it going?" if I'm only passing you by in the hallway? I don't really think 2 seconds is enough time to properly answer that question.

r u 4 srs?

2008-10-15T15:03:00.000-07:00

Really? Are you shitting me? Will you ever go public? I click you so that you lost however many cents for being lame.

(On a side note, I think most Googlers don't know what "underwater" means.)
