I FINALLY got a new cell phone! YES! And it's only been out with Cingular for a month! Nokia 3220. Color screen, camera, video capture, all kinds of fun stuff!

Why can't I get you out of my head??? I think about you constantly, day and night. We are such good friends, but I am selfish and wish it could be more. I wish I could just sweep you off your feet and treat you like the princess you are. Sigh...
Maybe this is funny only because it's my friend, Zache, but I find it damn hillarious. The tongue! hahahaha.
For when Two Buck Chuck won't cut it. Can I be a cheap wine expert? Now I don't know jack about wine but I remember after drinking way too much boxed wine for far too long my cousin opened up a bottle of some Robert Mondavi reserve, a red, and I took a sip and it was so good by comparision I nearly died. On my trip to Sonoma, I really liked Hop Kiln's A Thousand Flowers and it was just $12.50.
Here's a cool article on the CollegeHumor guys who also started BustedTees.
The partners went for a retro design and asked attractive girls they knew or met in bars to model the shirts for online ads, which they promoted under the name Busted Tees. So far, the company has sold about 100,000 T-shirts online, at a profit of $11 each, and another 75,000 through retailers, at a profit of about $2. There were other benefits as well. Mr. Klein, who does design and photography, is now dating one of the models.
Nice.
The iPod, the iPod Mini, the iPod Shuffle... the iPod Flea. How do you ya like them, Apple?
R We D8ting? This is a great article about a woman's experiences with text message love.
I turned off the phone, dumbfounded. How had this happened? How had we managed to speed through all the stages of an actual relationship almost solely via text message? I'd gone from butterflies to doubt to anger at his name on the screen, before we even knew each other.
That was it, I decided: no more text-message flirtations for me. From now on I'd stick to more old-fashioned ways of getting to know a guy. Like e-mail.
God, I hope I never experience a break up over text messages. Seth dumping me over IM was bad enough. It's just plain rude to break up with someone over the least expressive medium possible.
I'm so excited that Wong Kar Wai's new film, 2046 will be released on August 5th.
Way cooler than a tuxedo tshirt.
This one is pretty sweet too but where's the crackpipe?!
I was chatting with a friend while I was checking my Em and Lo horoscope for the week.
Me: when is your birthday? i forgot
VirgoBoy: sep 9
Me: no shit... i must like the virgos
VirgoBoy: we're good people
Me: virgo (Aug. 23rd-Sept. 22nd)
Put your feet up and stay a while. You've been enjoying the thrill of the chase for so long now, you forgot how much fun it can be to crank back the La-Z-Boy, crack open a tall one, and let the hotties come to you for a change.
VirgoBoy: yessssss
I'm sick of seeing you cry
And wasting all your time
On someone who will never care enough
To make you feel loved
To make you feel safe
I would drop my life to take his place
To show you just how good
Being touched could be
Commit these words to memory
For when you find yourself
Pinned under his demands
I am still an option that you have
So carry me around
Like a picture in your purse
Pull me out when things are at their worst
You can show up at my house
Completely unannounced
We'll have that movie kiss we talked about
Where there are no words
Just a soft and gentle score
Our ears will ring from all the strings
We'll let the screen go black
And watch the credits run
And see the names of every one
Who we ever met
And who we ever missed
Each one had a role in this
It's just another film that won't get made

I was just checking the usage statistics for this site and this month one of the top search strings was "korean woman armpit." Yeah... you weirdos!
A Haruki Murakami story has been made into a movie and it going to be showing in San Francisco in a month. It's called Tony Takitani.
I'm going to see The Lovemakers tonight! Yeehaw!
I am Strong Sad. I'm also on Break Up Strength Vodka Gimlet™ number 2. :(
Jed and I broke up on Monday.
The past few days have, remarkably, gone by without any crying sessions or drunken memory lapses. Mostly I've just been lonely and without a real drive to hang out with people. It's that feeling that makes you lay in bed and stare at the ceiling without really thinking of anything, like that scene in Garden State. I went to Ocean Beach on Tuesday and laid in the sand because the warm sunshine will always cheer me up. Wednesday my brother was gone all day so after a jog around the panhandle, I tried out some retail therapy on Haight St. I made my usual stop at Amoeba and picked up an armload of CDs. I stopped by the new accessories store, So Good, and got a faux iced out skull and cross bones necklace. Then I ate jarred pasta sauce with angel hair and wasted some time staring at the ceiling again. I tried to read but couldn't concentrate so I watch 3 hours of a 3.5 hour movie. I don't think I was in the mood to appreciate such a long film. After a phone call with a friend I went back to staring at the ceiling.
Staring at the ceiling, ceiling, ceiling, cielo...
I think I fell asleep at 4 AM.
Cool! Local designer Jason Munn, who made an awesome Rilo Kiley poster, has a new website up now. Check it out. He also sells some posters too.
Sorry, You'll Have to Leave, As You're Not a Member: Otis club/bar whatever is by invite only so you'll never know how lame and elitist it really is.
"...an economy oriented to entertainment, tourism, and "creative" functions is ill-suited to provide opportunities for more than a small slice of its population. Following such a course, it is likely to evolve ever more into a city composed of cosmopolitan elites, a large group of low-income service workers, and a permanent underclass--or into what San Francisco is already becoming, what historian Kevin Starr describes as "a cross between Carmel and Calcutta." --"The Rise of the Ephemeral City" by Joel Kotkin
Providing a new forum for the self-expression of technologically savvy crazies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (Except when the internet is temporarily down.) I guess my brother is right to worry about dating girls with Livejournal accounts.
Hmmm, so Dov Charney, founder of American Apparel is in trouble for apparently sexually harassing his employees. If it's true the question will be: sweatshop or sexual harassement? Damnit, Dov, you idiot, you had such a good company with awesome products, why'd you have to go and let your penis do the talking?
Arial or Helvetica? Quiz
Ah, a typographer's subtle and meticulous work is almost never appreciated.
Ovulating women favour dominant men's smell
Women are most likely to cheat on their long-term partner when they are at their most fertile, and they tend to choose genetically superior men for their fling.
So, um, why don't women choose "gentically superior" men the rest of the time? That's what I wanna know.
How could people not like buildings like mine where a large business and residential spaces are in the same building? Look at Santana Row, it's all apartments with retail shops and parking garages. I like it a lot. Plus, I can tell people, yeah, I live in that building with the supermarket. Imagine if I lived right above a Trader's Joe's...

You're not exactly famous for indulging yourself -- and that goes for anything in any category. You're the epitome of self-restraint, especially when you're on a mission, and your goal is in sight. Right now, though, anything even remotely resembling moderation just won't work for you. Don't you dare feel guilty about it. If anyone has earned a break, it's you. Take advantage of this chance to let go and have some serious fun.
It seems that during the last few months I've been gaining a lot of respect for elderly women but for really strange reasons.
1. BRIDGE Who knew Bridge was such a freaking tough card game? How the heck do you bid properly and play your cars right? It's no wonder you hardly ever see young people playing bridge. Only older people have time to figure it all out!
2. CROCHET Yikes. I bought a crocheting kit on a whim and tried to learn to crochet. I could not figure out how to hold the hook, the stitch counting, or the abbriviations. What? I even had my brother try to figure it out and after getting his fingers tangled in baby blue yarn, he gave up. I even ran out and bought another book on crochet just becase I'm so stubborn.
Old ladies, I give you mad props.
BTW, the new Miyazaki movie, Howl's Moving Castle? Not so good.
