two-minute date

yes brit was on "himym" last week, but this was the highlight of that episode

damn good satire

if you're tired of the kind of "satire" that was coming out of colorado recently, let me direct you to some well done satire to be excited about.


due to the great connections of the fabulous frances, i luckily scored a spot at the presentation of "harold & kumar: escape from guantanamo bay" at this year's sf int'l asian am film fest.

yes, you loved the first one, and trust me the second one does not disappoint. even before anyone shows up on screen, you will be cracking up as the opening credits and music begin to roll. during the q&a after the movie, john cho explained that the writers consciously wrote in more of the political and racial jokes for this film when they got feedback from audiences after the dvd release of "white castle." and while the movie is simply sharper and smarter than the first, it still has a lot of the lewdness and ridiculousness you enjoyed from the original.

when watching the film, take note of the excellent details like the song selection for scenes, a flashback to h&k college years, and probably my favorite part: the reference to \sqrt{3}! a must see movie in april!

that kid from colorado could take a lesson in satire from this movie and not to mention another damn good satire: the musical "ave q."

the working woman edition!

a short blog to conclude "the unemployment edition" of the camilleeon chronicles.

a few months, many online searches, a dozen applications, one bite, a pair of interviews, and wa la..."the working woman edition" begins!

some details: commuting to downtown oakland via BART and working for a cool nonprofit that does planning and transportation policy work across the bay! how perfect is that! (not the long commute) but really happy to find a first job that fits my interests and ideals.

suddenly life is on "busy" mode again, and while work has been chill so far this is truly a great first weekend to be excited about: getting paid on friday (for my first 4 days of work...haha), multiple birthday celebrations, and harold & kumar 2 screening (w/ an appearance by mr. cho himself)!

low valleys and high mountains

...and it finally feels like i am slowly making my way up.

round II interview went well, so here's hoping i'll soon be part of the downtown oakland crew.

i'm looking at my calendar and it has a lot of race day registration dates on it.

yesterday was the first day to register for the nike women's marathon random drawing. holla back ladies who wanna run the half! (although guys can run it too)

prices for the sf half see their first increase after the 15th.

and last day of early registration for the bay to breakers is the 31st!

is it weird that i wanna spend my first pay check on new running shoes and race registrations? o_O

random ending note:
last night, i watched american idol for the first time in a LONG time. it was alright...nothing too impressive. used to always watch it with the parents back in high school. even though i have the mp3, watching this moment from season 1 still WoWs me.
