It’s the trippiest thing…
I came home today from school and my dad is sitting in front of the TV watching Bob Marley with the volume on REALLY loud and drinking wine and eating pistachios.
I have weird parents….
I went to a Jose Gonzalez concert last night and he was SOOO good. and the Henry Fonda venue is a really good venue. I don’t think i’ve ever seem so much PDA between two men in my life…and not “man love” between boys at church kind either….
I need a vacation. I think i’m getting carpal tunnel syndrome from writing so much and driving in high stress traffic.
Since I am trying to be economical and got a pass, my version of vacation will be at the happiest place on earth! I was forewarned of massive crowds especially since it was the day before thanksgiving, but surprisingly, we did not have to wait long at all. The longest i think we waited was for the NEMO ride. sweetness.
My lovely date for the evening…
Along with our double date with these two…
Disneyland really gets into the christmas spirit by putting christmas lights up EVERYWHERE!!
If that’s not enough….
Pretty…. If you don’t have the right setting on your camera, it looks like the castle is on blue light fire!
Can you even tell that it’s the small world ride building??
The red glow is from the lights of the building shown above.
You can never get enough of buzz…
My dad just got our family cell phones that actually take pictures!! Of course my sister, my mom and I got the free ones where you can’t even assign the pictures to the address book and my dad got the best phone. So he flashes a picture of my mom that he took and says…”elegant…”
He’s such a sap sometimes….
Happy thanksgiving everyone! I love turkey day and i’m NERVOUS for Turkey bowl! eeek!
I really want this cookbook. whoever has it, can you tell me how it is?
Today, the brain injury guy (SO not client centered language by the way) i work with on Mondays asked about 3 times in our 20 minute drive in my car, if we should go by a gas station so that he could wash my windows.
That’s a really long run on sentence and I think that was a HUGE sign to go wash my car…
ISSUES
So you know when people are like…”dude, so and so has ISSUES.”
or “Do you have an ISSUE of so and so magazine?”
or “Would you like me to ISSUE you another card?”
So funny how that same word can mean SO many things…And typing it so many times makes me think i’m spelling it wrong.
All to say…EVERYONE has issues. Heck, i think i have more issues than most, but how far can we take that and how many times can we make that same excuse? How far exactly do i let my issues control me or how far will we excuse what someone else does and blame it on their “issues”? Do we need a reason for someone’s actions? I have so many clients that engage in unhealthy behaviors and can’t do anything for themselves because of their life circumstances. I know they have SO many “issues,” and their behavior or lack of, is easily excusable when they had a husband that beat them or they had a traumatic past. But how do you move past that and stop being crippled by your past? Much of what i do at my internship is to sadly attempt to empower these ladies and let them know that they have the ability to be independent in their lives. I wish desperately to let them know who the ultimate healer is…
Anyways on another topic…I think my verbal filter has completely disintegrated and i partly blame my aging self. I never really felt my age until recently. I creak a little more, I forget things ALL the time, I NEVER understand what people are talking about and interpret what they say COMPLETELY wrong. I started taking 2 Ginko Biloba pills everyday so that I can increase in my concentration and memory and HOPEFULLY stop misunderstanding everyone and their mothers. I haven’t seen much difference, but maybe that’s because i have to let it kick in more…
I just don’t want to turn into my parents. I’ve had the same schedule now for 12 weeks and they STILL ask me EVERY TIME i walk into the house, “were you at school?” (i only go twice a week)….
hmm…
it’s the weirdest thing to watch youtube clips with your father…
I really do not enjoy going to Walmart. I don’t know what it is, but i feel so overwhelmed there and there are always CROWDS and even though i go at 9:30 pm, i still have to wait in enormous lines. But, given the vast spread of products at walmart, i always tend to just get what i need and get out and never spend more than i intend. Is it just me?
vs…
Target…it’s asthetically pleasing and everything is in neat aisles and i always spend way too much money there. And it’s something about the red color…maybe the subliminal advertising messages get to me.
i got interviewed today for the school newspaper and she was asking me about liquor liscensing in downtown LA and my thoughts of safety and such.
I had already introduced myself as being an OT grad student so i knew i had to represent.
she asked me about a bar opening next to skid row and if i would feel safe if that happened and i said that i probably would because they would beef up security since more people would be in the area but that more “skid row residents would most likely approach me outside…”
she paused and responded with…”you mean homeless people?”
i don’t think she’s going to use my interview….
My dad used a Korean figure of speech to give me advice about the dating world…It translated as this:
“When there is poop, the poop files will be attracted and come swarming.”
Or something along those lines…So…i guess i’m supposed to strive to be poop status according to him?
let me think about that….
Went to a FANTASTIC restaurant today. AOC in west LA. They have an awesome cheese selection and have amazing tapas like dishes. Everything we tried was fantastic! YUM.
Next destination…Comme ca
Thanksgiving weekend!!
And Mozza Osteria whenever i get reservations. I hear you can only make reservations a month in advance and you need to if you want to even get a reservation.
