What kind of Fuckery is this?

And so says Amy Winehouse. So much going on, so much indeed.

I am starting some freelance work for an up and coming internet site. I traveled with them to cover the Noise Pop Music Festival in San Francisco and had to heartbreakingly turn down a job at Coachella. Soon you'll hear much more from this site.

Then, I'm going to be an RA for high school kids this summer. At least I think I will. I guess I will come full circle, spending my last months at BU living in Warren Towers. Karma came back, and bit me for never living there before.

Then, I move to Los Angeles, and the next chapter of my life begins.


oh dear.

FRAK ME.

Battlestar Galactica, once again, blew me away. Officially my favorite show of ALL TIME.

Updates

Niiiice. My Mac is now twice as powerful, twice as fast. Now running with 2GB of Memory, my baby is flying. I just installed [well Nick did] my brand new memory, and upgraded from 1GB to 2GB. Since I don't use my computer just for IM and e-mail, I needed this upgrade. I usually have Firefox, Adium, Newsfire, Aperture, Illustrator and Photoshop running most of the time, sometimes all at once, and while a pretty fast beast, my Mac sometimes had some trouble, especially with Illustrator and Aperture. The photo program was the most frustrating one, as it was the one I use the most, and sometimes it is slooooooooooow. But, I am ecstatic to say that it is now smooth as butter. I cannot wait to play around with it more; it's almost as if my Mac got a second, sexier life.


On other things, I spent the weekend in San Francisco, a year to the date from when I was there for the first time, working as a videographer for Ourstage.com, attending many events in the NoisePop music festival. I left Friday @6am and was on a plane back to Boston on Saturday at 11:30pm. It was a whirlwind trip that included meeting, Golem, among many other fantastic independent music acts; a party at the Diesel store in downtown San Francisco DJed by the guy from the Dandy Wharhols and the best damn Cosmos I've ever had; our neighbor in the hotel being escorted out in handcuffs by the police; too much free alcohol; some great food; and an awesome expo in the heart of the Castro.

If anything the trip made me even more excited and anxious for my upcoming trip to San Fran in June with Liam Bob and Clint. San Francisco might be my favorite city in the continental USA, with it's amazing people and air-conditioned climate.

Also, in the past 48 hours I've been thrown job offers all over the place. Not like, after-graduation-jobs-for-life, but more of the freelancing type. Sadly, I've had to turn them down due to Spring Break plans and general super-busyness of my life. Still, it's exciting to think how things are looking for my future.

Ok, I had a spurge of inspiration so I needed to write. Now I need to do laundry and read 150 pages of a "Entre visillos", which I've actually been intrigued by regardless of my professor's insistance of it being 'blah'. If it was so 'blah', why make us read it in the first place, right? RIGHT?

Art Direction: Pan's Labyrinth. [this movie deserved more noms]

Costume Design: Marie Antoinette? I dunno.

Directing: Martin Scorsese.... as much as I love Alejandro Gonzales Iñarritu, Babel wasn't that great.

As long as Babel doesn't get Best Picture, it will all be ok.

De 8,035 Dias

I guess I'm old now,
Still feel like Oscarito,
Don't want Mr. Oscar.

I drank sangria,
I drank mojitos by Bob,
that was Friday night.

We all blew smoke rings,
and I made a smokey brew,
it was quite the night.

On the next morning,
I could not wake up at all,
well, none of us could.

Puerto Rican food,
we ate and ate and ate till,
we just could not move.

That night, we played wii,
on a rather big tv,
and I could not drink.

I have a hard time,
with the haikus Liam loves,
but I'm going to try.

An Tua Nua was,
closed for all but us cool kids,
thanks to all who came.

It was the best night,
from all the nights I partied,
with all my best friends.

Today, the boys and I,
went out to brunch to finish off,
this great long weekend.

Thanks to all who wished
me a happy, great day, via
calls and messages.

A special thanks to,
Liam and Bob and Tasia and Clint,
for being there each day......... {i love you all!}

It wasn't my day,
without the call from my fam.
I wish they were here.

They called too early,
but that's what makes me love them,
they know I love today.

All in all in all,
I had an awesome weekend,
thanks to all who helped.
