It Feels Different Here, Less Lively, But It Will Come Back...

Dropped off my moms @ LAX on Tues and decided to hit up my favorite gallery of all... Nucleus Gallery . I havnt been there since they relocated down the street. The new place is so much bigger than the old spot. They have their store front, and then a big empty gallery space and then they also have an upstairs for more gallery space in addition to studio space for artists. I will def be going back for more exhibitions in the upcoming year...

vThis looks soo comfortablev

"I Will Always Love the Blue Sky"

I haven't cried this much for a movie since i can't remember when...I think it has more to do w/ my current state of existence rather than the movie so much...but it is a must own for me...

Play the Scenario in my Head Too Many Times Over Nothing...

Went to SeaWorld and got a two year pass for the price of one. It was a nice day and not so crowded @ all. They are building a new dolphin exhibit/stadium for a new show and will be open in May i think. Stay tuned for the video footage...

Nozomis...One of my most favorite sushi joints. Its a Korean/Japanese place that is also vegetarian friendly...

I always get their hot Green Noodle dish that can serve up to 3 people. It contains bits of seafood and vegetables. Got the spicy flavored one this time. So good!

Eat a Watermelon and Walk on the Moon...

If u want the directions on how to make the watermelon keg i can email them to u..only reason i posted this long ass boring vid is cause i actually took the time to put it together..but the written directions are a lot easier and shorter to follow...

Love Is Not Enough...

Made a custom Guess Who? board game. I finally got to use the laminator i scored from work and just stole pics from peoples fb and used whichever ones i had and from our hs yearbook as well. It took a few days to put everything together and some pieces were cut incorrectly so some of them dont fit into the slots. But there are more than enough characters to choose from

Totaled 30 instant/polaroid photos from the GC xmas party..i think i missed a few of them and some people might have taken some which is cool..thats what they are for. Ill try to post flicks/video from the party later on when i get it done

Now Is Not The Time To Reflect On Your Mistakes...

Went to my sisters sonogram appointment to find out what sex the baby is.....

Crazy technology trips me out...saw the spinal cord along w/ the heart beating...

Went to a grand opening of a restaurant in la Jolla. JK Burgers & Hotdogs. I wanted a Seoul style hot dog w/ kimchee but they sold out. So i opted for the mexican style that has bacon, avocado, tomatoes, onions, and some jalepenos...i took one bite of half a jalepeno and started to cry..shit is hot...

Saying whats up to the Homies..Hope all is well in Shanghai Monk aka Kibo

Your Beauty Can Break The Heart of the Moon...

I caught the 24hr bug on wed and just stayed @ home all day on thurs. On fri i hit up a new pho place and ordered a beef stew. I didnt look @ the description i just ordered it. It came w/ a big brown block of something that looked like chocolate and i couldnt figure out what it was. Joey got a hold of a menu and found out that it was a block of coagulated blood. Mmm...think ill be reading the descriptions of dishes from now on...

@ night we hit up the San Diego Sockers game against the Stockton Cougars who are apparently the defending champs. There was no one in attendance compared to the opening game only 2 weeks ago. We got worked but came back from a 4-1 deficit and won 5-4 in sudden death overtime... and yes i was a lil tipsy when i wrote on the polaroid...

My Memory Projects A Soft Warm Image of You...

I was cleaning my room the other day and was going through my piles and piles of magazines i have. I was surprised to see how much i doodle and leave myself little notes...This is a Beautiful Decay issue "Not Made In America" featuring probably my favorite artist for the past 5 or so years. I went to the Beautiful Decay release party in which Aya Kato was there signing issues. I was such a fool that i actually tried to speak Japanese to her b/c she didnt speak any english. I think i asked her if she speaks any movies instead of speaks any english haha...Anyway i also brought the poster i had of this cover and she signed it as well as my magazine. Peep her work

http://www.geocities.jp/b_ba_a0530/

I know i have a picture w/ her ...found it haha here it is. I noticed my keychain i used to rock, it was a voodoo doll samurai. I miss that guy. They are all hand made from a single string. http://www.voodoodoll.com.au/catalog/index.php

But unfortunately like all my cool key chains i loose them after a while, excluding my cool little frog ive had for years now...

On one of my trips to Taiwan i made an effort to meet up w/ a graff artist Dabs http://www.dbsk1.com/

He was cool enough to hang out w/ me for a little bit @ his shop and sign an article he wrote about the graff scene in Taiwan that was in that same Beautiful Decay issue.
