Binge


Cheetos Flamin Hot Puffs, or crack cocaine (as I refer to it) is consuming my life! It all started with the crunchy ones and now I can't stop indulging in the puffy ones (thanks to my brother). We are seriously addicted! They are spicy to the point your nose is watery and you feel like you have a cold ( I know!) I've gone as far as to try the crunchy ones with cream cheese ( I know!) upon the suggestion of my homegurl Susana. When I told Lil P about this method he told me that everyone at his school eats them like that...some even put Flammin Cheetos in their bagels! I KID YOU NOT. I recommend that you try them at least once in your life because otherwise you will be extremely deprived...

Ps: Just to give you a head's up, your fingers will be bright orange/red after you indulge. You can try to wash it off, but the color will remain at least for a day.

Feeling Better...


The medicine totally helped me last night. Even though my left ear is still infected and my sinus remains, the cold seems to have passed for the most part. I woke up this morning starving so I prepared the BEST breakfast ever: NACHOS! I made them with whole grain tortilla chips, fish fillet, guacamole, refried beans, mexican fried rice, and my mother's awesome salsa made with tomatillos! I'm going into work later today so I will use this time to take it easy and swallow as much medicine as possible to kill this horrible sickness.

Sick As F$ck


I have a little issue with staying in at night during the weekend, but even though I am sick as hell (day 3 or is it 4?) I went out to the bookstore to read and to the drugstore to buy something to kill this massive throat, sinus, ear infection cold I have. I think today might be the worse since I've been putting off buying medicine for some strange reason. I probably took longer to get ready to go out than the actual time I spent doing all this. I feel lame. Now what I really want is a burrito and even though I have all the stuff I need to make one in my fridge (I am after all Mexican) I have the strong desire to actually venture out into the cold and buy one. I hate staying in, did I mention that?

Pacific Art Collective 5 Year Anniversary Party







I ran into old friends from my early years of college, which was a surprising treat. I did not care much for the live bands, but the LIVE art was absolutely amazing. By the time I arrived the eight artists or so who collabotared on this beautiful mural were into their third hour. One of my favorite things ever is to watch people create things, whether it be music, paint, glass-blowing, cooking, whatever...the experience is totally inspiring and motivating.

Lazy day at Chinatown

Lil P and I took a little stroll through Chinatown in San Francisco today. I love this place because there is so much to see. There are a gazillion shops that sell anything from jewelry to herbs to eastern music instruments and delicious food. We passed through a park where children were running on the playground and older Chinese men and women were playing cards. It was lovely...






Before going home we ventured into Haight Street for the usual music shopping. There is quite a lot of writing around this neighborhood, we totally dug Mr. World in a suit and mustache minding his own business and smoking his pipe.

Monday I ditched my internship because I was tired as hell and called my wifey over for a day of gurl time. The day was quite the sucess!

We cooked a delicious feast. We ate and I kind you not: chips and salsa, salty peanuts, jicama and cucumbers, margaritas, flautas, mexican fried rice, vegetable soup, wine, pan dulce, and coffee (over the span of a day of course)..Here she is preparing the flautas.


We made three kinds: tuna, shrimp, and potatoe. The tuna had diced bell peppers and onions as you can see.


Here are the flautas rolled up and frying in olive oil. They taste like heaven...


And I made a vegetable soup that was spicy!


We shared the fruits of our labor with Drea...


After our wonderful meal we lounged in my room and made cards, my favorite hobbie btw. It was quite relaxing and I will post photos later of some of the cute stuff we made at another time. I also had my wifey listen to all my music: Doors, Jimi, Troupe Vitalis, etc...Since meeting her I've gotten a crash course in Hip Hop 101, so it was only natural that I return the favor and give her a lesson myself. She loved it of course and I also let her borrow the essential: "Please Kill Me" by Lester Bangs.

Once night came we made our way to San Jose for her interview with Bay Area Producer Traxamillion at KSJS.


DJ Savvy is off the hizzy!




Traxamillion talked about his involvement with the Hyphy Movement (he makes beats) and about his early days as an underground hip hop cat. He was really sweet and told me I smelled like grapefruit, aww.
Saturday night I went to a fund raiser. I wore the maternity dress (no, I'm not pregnant) I bought at the Wasteland and my velvet black blazer. The dress was too cute to pass up! The event took place at a hall and 150 or so people came for some tasty food and dance partayyy.




This is the best photo I could get of my mother shaking her a$$. She's a dancing machine I tell you!


Check out the cute old man on the right dancing with his grandaughter (I'm assuming). He was having a grand ol' time until this young guy got in the middle and started to dance with the girl! The last time I saw him was when he walked out of the building, in tears I bet!


This is what happens when you bust out the balloons at our parties...



Geo came through towards the end of the evening as the party was winding down.


At this point I was tired as f$ck and passed out right when I got home.
Lamechalk on Friday night, again...





At least this time the DJ played Biggie Smalls and the White Stripes ("Seven Nation Army") if you are curious.

Booboo Loves Me More


Just a quick hello before I get ready to go make some paper. Just came back from one of my internships. This one is probably my favorite because I get to work with primary sources! Today for instance, I continued my work in progress of translating from Spanish to English a document from 1815. In case you are wondering that was 193 years ago! Yes, I LOVEEEEEEEE what I do...

Thai and Italian=Party In My Mouth

Ode to Joy! Lil P found my camera cable so I was able to finally retrieve my missing photos, including these of a faboo Thai dinner that I had with my groupie J. The food was so f$cken tasty....yumm. As you can see from the appetizing photos bellow, we had a delicious shirmp and lemon soup, a spicy fish stir-fry, steamed rice and hot tea. We love the sea!




I think this was a day or two after I dyed my hair "soft black." The color totally washed off now and it's back to brown...


I'm considering getting it professionally dyed red this summer. Whatcha think?

Tonight I went out with my hoochies Steve and Andrea for some girltalk at Pasta?. Omygosh I had an orgasm eating my delicious Penne All' Arriabbata, Cabernet "Eagle Canyon," and the most delicious chocolate ice cream with chocolate powder sprinkled on top. It was nice hearing about how much sex Andrea is having and I am not :) In honesty, I secretly love how much she is getting. I love it when my friends are happy!!!

According to Steve and Andrea I looked "French" tonight...



By any chance does anyone know of any cool makeup books? I love doing my makeup, but I would like some fresshhh ideas!!!! HELP!
