Phil has an announcement

*I finally got officially placed in my department at Mervyn's... for those of you who don't know... I haven't been place since I graduated from my training program in December. Basically they tried to "hide" me from being transferred to another department* I'm the last one in my class to be officially placed.... how sad is that... and I swear I ain't the dumbest one either

I watched American Idol tonight... and see Ryan starr get voted out... I was pretty bummed out about that one b/c I don't think she was the worst last night... I would honestly have to say NIkki sucked and Justin had a good voice but a terrible song selection.. they both deserved to be in the bottom ... hopefully they can rebound.. tamyra is my pick for the winner... who's yours??

I also watched Big brother 3 .... I am not sure who I want to win... they're some very good looking people on the show and I want them in as long as possible but at the same time I want Daneille or Jason to win b/c they are most normal and simplistic.. I guess only time will tell....

yes I know I watch too much reality TV, but can you blame me? I live alone..... =)

Ok off to elimidate I go.

PHIL
hey my blog got all out of order... i didn't really write it that way! sorry bout that. oh well... =)
-cy
christine is so excited to be able to find her keyboard at this messy little cube of hers that she decides to write a blog... so here goes:

very excited about the softball game...especially cuz we all know that the whities are gonna win. isn't it ironic that while i am not so much teased of being quite white by this crowd (do you think they're referring to the fact that i'm pale?) that i ended up on the white team? i was glad to see however that the jersey is actually a light shade of cream/yellow... and thanks to tiff l, nick, ed, and jeff for taking care of EVERYTHING related to this game. i'm so excited we even get at-bat intros!

on the subject of baseball, i thought lofton would be just a galarraga-type filler while the outfield is out (pun not intended), especially since there's no way they'd bench bonds for lofton and i like shinjo. his defense is grrrrreat! right field could use some work i suppose... but after his debut yesterday it's gonna be a hard decision to make.

do you ever notice that at any social event you're at with phil, you'll always hear the phrase "do you watch the mole?" i think i heard it 2 or 3 times just at ed/ant's shindig nite. and did you actually talk to contestants of the mole, phil? how'd you do that?

thanks to ed and anthony for throwing a faboo pah-tay. =P it was fun seeing everyone again and this time we could actually move around the house without smashing ourselves into walls.

random thoughts:
- why does it already feel like friday? or at least thursday... but sadly it's only hump day... is that a sad occasion?
- who is going to the usa vs. china basketball game?
- who're the umps gonna be at sunday's game?

back to the grind that is work... seey'all sunday!




sorry tiffers, i don't believe i'll be making it to your soccer event either =( . i was thinking i was free that day since it is pretty far in advance and was all excited cuz i've never watched a full game and i haven't watched one with you yet! but alas i won't be around that wkend either cuz i'm going to seattle for a wedding. sounds like that's the get-away wkend.

have you all seen the new austin powers? hilarious! fred savage - yuck! it had a lot of gross-out factor too but that's what makes 'em good right? this 3rd one was a lot better than number 2. didn't you love the flashbacks?

*Man, I'm getting no love here for Soccer Saturday. So far I'm 0 for 3 in responses. Whatever.
*Be sure to submit your song clips to Nick. So far I've heard some excellent choices (Phil- your selection is absolutely superb). If not, I'll help Nick in choosing a little something something for you, most likely along the lines of the cheesiest 80's one hit wonders ever imaginable. This is gonna be some damn good fun this Sunday. By the way, do we have a time and location yet??
*Re: Sorority Life - drama up the arse. These girls are just dumb, what they fight about is dumb. But it's great fun catching people you know or recognize in the background. The premise is getting a little tired. You've seen one sorority, you've seen em all. Go watch MTV's Taildaters instead, now that's some great entertainment.
*Anyone want to go take a physiology final for me tomorrow? By noon tomorrow, I'll be one happy camper. That is if I don't get another nose bleed.

~Taft
*Phil sits at his whole big desk to write a little message to everyone*

Hi all,

I am really excited about this baseball game... after practicing a little, I have come to the conclusion that I can actually hit a ball... woohooo... anyone watching the MOLE.. It's season finale is next tuesday and it's down to miss asian vs ms navy vs ms texas.... who will win?? I have actually talked to a couple people from the mole... I'm such a starstruck person...

heheeh anyway just wanted to let you guys know if I haven't already that I am already seein cirque du soleil on nov 23. I think it still plays through December at Pac bell park as well as San Jose convention center (I do not know specific days from that one)

anyone have comments on this lofton deal??? you think he's going to be the regular player or do you think he's going to be like andres galaragga???

random thoughts
- Do you ever wonder how many hours you really have time for yourself (besides sleep?) - it is not that many
- Who will win the softball game on Sunday
- Why do I live in the largest homicide city in california?
- Has tiffy (based on her blog) emulated the girls from sorority life??? what do you think of that show?

ok until we meet again

Greetings from the Batcave,

I don't know who is trying to pose as Dan the Digi-Man but u suck at it. Here's the real BLOG.

Yes, it is yet another glorious day here in the City of all Cities, DAVIS, California. Actually I wouldn't know. I get no sunlight down here in the Batcave. I've been here so long that I turned completely white. No more Tan Dan.

I have finally completed my growing machine. I am now 9 feet tall. ECP ain't got nothing on me. For all those who attended ECP's shindig on Sat, I hope that my upgraded beta robot, the Digi-Dan 2000, was well behaved. I figured that seeing me as a 9-foot-tall, albino-looking Korean would be too much of a shock to all of you so I sent my DD2000 in my stead. I have him on remote satellite control from the Batcave (hope no one noticed the large antenna sticking out of his head). DD2000's report said something about naked Alan running through the street. Don't know what that was about, but I'm glad I missed it.

I also made some upgrades on my Virtual Dana, despite what previous unauthentic blogs have stated. I downloaded a perfect replication of Kristin Kreuk's face for Dana's head and I programmed her to address me as "Superman." She does important things for me, like mix my Tang. Don't worry Regan, I'll build u one too.

The Project Xian is coming along as fast as a GeForce2 running WC3. That means slow for you simple-minded pions. I think I'll have to overclock my processor and get a move on to make my Aug 18th deadlines. Rasterizing Bitmap Sprites is a bitch! Here's the hexadecimal secret code to get to the last level of my game. 0BE4260FB95.88896CD0AE19 For you binary buffs, here's the digital code: 1011111001000010011000001111101110010101.100010001000100101101100110100001010111000011001
If anyone can decode this message Ed will give you 5 bucks. You can really decode it!!!!!................I promise.

In current news, while I was out, an intruder (my roommate) tried to infiltrate the Batcave and spilled wine all over my desk and computer AND she didn't clean it. Digi-Dan was Digi-Mad!!!! So I cut off her head and threw her out the window. Digi-Dan doesn't have time for this Digi-Crap!!!!

Other news, ECP was the first to try out the hair dying capabilities of the Digi-Dan 2000. I will have you know that the DD 2000 can transform into a walk-in Digi-Hair Salon. ECP wanted to find out if blondes really do have more fun. However almost immediately, he experienced a rapid decline in IQ, emminent in his frustrations playing level 2 of Push Push. Push Push is the greatest cell phone game EVER!!!! It will stand among the greats like PAKman, Tetris and Pong.
Enough about Push Push, back to the hair dying. Nick was next. Unfortunately while trying to squeeze his big ghetto booty into the machine, he accidently pushed the "I wanna look like a freak" button. So his hair turned a greenish blue. In a few days, his hair will be green and he will have fully transformed into the Joker.
Then I'll have to recruit Ed as Robin (cuz I know how much he likes to wear speedo's over his tights) And together WE, Digi-Man and Robin, will have to foil his evil plots.
Holy Hair-dyes, Digi-Man.

I will send out my Digi-Dan 2000 to meet you guys at the Softball game.

Ok, Back to Work!
Dan the Digi-Man

p.s. Koreans Rule!!!



nick's notes....

just to let everyone know, for the upcoming baseball game - when anyone comes up to bat we're gonna play a roughly 10 second song clip of the batter's choice. so by wednesday if u could lemme know what song u'd like played for your at bats - then i could put it on a cd for the game.

and also for the game, who has any ideas for a punishment we can inflict upon the loosing team - just to raies the stakes a bit, make the game a litl' more interesting
The Xian Project will soon conclude and hopefully coincide with my goal of taking over the world one cell phone at a time.

As it clearly stipulates on my cell phone, I'm a genius. That must mean you are not. Of course, that much was already obvious. But I must digress due to your short attention spans and lack of RAM, hence the announcement. Throw SATs, GREs, MCATs, LSATs out the window, because the new measurement for scholastic aptitude will be Push-Push, a game on my cell. As I am currently on level 58, it clearly validates my superior status as a genius while the likes of Emily, Ed and Nick find themselves meandering in the single digit levels of moronocism.

I like big balls but I only have small balls to play with.

Having VD got annoying, so I dumped her. That is why I am in the process of modifying my cell phone to make-up for the absence of Virtual Dana. I've developed a new girl friend program entitled Hypertext-Oriented Existence, or HOE. I plan to have 8 HOES by the end of this week.

Currently my cell can perform the following functions: replicate all show tunes, play all games, record music, assist in brain scans, make kim chee, time travel, microwave small burritos, act Korean and teleport. After a few more tweaks, it will also have the ability to: walk my dog, dye my hair, and be my first HOE. After those tweaks, I'll find a way for my cell to actually make phone calls but that's just a superfluously inane detail at this point.

Apologies to Nick. I, a recently certified professional dyist, was going for a cool DragonBallz / Japanese Anime look with the blue hair dye, but what came out was straight up Oompah Loompah. I tried saran-wrapping his head to seal in the freshness of the color but that Nick is as hard to catch as a duck in a pool.

Oh yeah, back to me liking big balls (sorry I wander like that, but my brain works extremely fast, like a P-4 2.1ghz. processor). I'd rather hit big balls but I only have small balls to play with at home, so Jefe you can pitch whatever you want to me during the softball game.

Speaking of small balls, I had my prostate exam the other day (cough, cough) so don't worry everyone, I'm all checked out and ready to go.

If "Korean-ness" was represented by a single molecule of water, I'd be the freakin' Pacific Ocean,
Digi-Dan Dan-da-man.

PS- Koreans rule.
PSS-Especially red-haired Koreans under 48 inches.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the BBQ. You guys did a great job of screwing up my place. Shinjo rules.

ECP

ps - I hope Dan posts soon.

Dumb blond moment of the day: Almost getting hit in the face by the door because I was checking out my own reflection in the glass to fix my hair and didn't see the guy who was leaving. Think the blond highlights in my hair have diffused into my brain. Either that or I'm watching too much of MTV's Sorority Life.

Past dumb blond moment that still makes me laugh: My roommate's boyfriend was explaining to me one day how he was planning to take a trip across the country for the summer, only bumming rides off people who'd be willing to pick him up. I turn to him, head tilted to the side and said, "Oh you mean you're gonna hijack your way across the country?" Right when I said it, I knew it was the wrong word. He looks to me, fighting off the urge to bust out laughing and says, "Yeah, uhh I'm gonna HITCHHIKE all summer." Oops.

Just had to share.

6 games in 2 days in 90-something degree weather - holy crap, I'm still royally spent from this weekend. At least my stats weren't too bad for my last ever tournament with my club team - 2 goals, 2 assists, and 1 sweet blocked shot. But my body's paying for it now, as all the muscles running along the backside of my body, starting from midback down to my wittle toes, are screeching in pain. But ain't no thang because I got all week to recuperate and prep for this weekend's game. And how sweet it will be when my team beats your sorry white asses (sidenote: Did Nick have a hand in placing me on the black team as a reference to my dark skin color? Cause I now definitely deserve to be captain of the black team after this weekend's exposure to the hot Tahoe sun. Stupid sunblock never works).

ECP - sorry I missed your bbq, but my uninvited spirit seemed to have a grand ol time crashing the party.
Phil - hey what does your watch say? yeah, it says it's about time to quit that job of yours, sir.

6: Number of days until the white team goes home crying. Tiff, don't forget to host your post-game "eat-my-loser-sorrows-away" meal. You forget, we have Regan and everytime you're up at bat, he'll be spewing his pickup lines on you to distract you from the ball.
2: Number of SI Class of 97 alum I partied with this weekend: Joey Evans and Dave Ellis. Drank with Joey, smoked with Dave. Go Wildcats.

Soccer notes:
-The Quakes suck on the road. They've won every single home game this season, but have lost their last 4 away games. There must be something in the San Jose water.
-Saturday, August 3rd: MLS All-Star game party at my house - be there. We're bbq'ing.
-Soccer Saturday anyone? On August 17, the Quakes are playing D.C. United at Spartan Stadium at 1pm. How about we all watch the game, then find some random soccer field in the area and get a game going?

I'm hungry. Must go eat. Bye.

~Taft
*monday, monday*
lately, mondays are getting harder to deal with. just don't feel like the weekend rejuvenates me...actually, the weekends drain the life out of me and then monday gets to be a very ugly day. argh! don't get me wrong, weekends are jam packed with fun, fun, fun but mondays suck! you know how i said sleep is overrated? psych! sleep will be my next hobby...i should start practicing ASAP!
to my new hiking buddies (sylv and nick): was it worth for me to get out of bed early and hike with you guys? NO! j/k it was so fulfilling when we finally finished our long hard hike =) i was elated...damn near skipped to the car. things that i learned from our hiking endeavors: fire melon is the best tasting gatorade flavor, obese coyote poo looks really similar to horse poo, and steep hills are not good.
to white team members + jefe: schweating helmets are nasty *ick!
Invitation: just wanted to invite peeps to a protein/carbo load prior to our softball game on sunday. menu: breakfast aka greasy foods and maybe some fruit on the side. lemme know who's coming so i know how much to cook =) no RSVP, no food - and i mean it.
Sh*ttalking: to the black team, think of the breakfast as your last meal before you get slaughtered.
alrighty, gotta go!
peace out foolios!
tiff
ps. where reeg at? thinking of new pick up lines? i hope so =)
*ugh* is it REALLY monday????

hmmm...i guess it is....but i can definitely say that this weekend has been a blast! let's recap, shall we?

FRIDAY: laundry night.....mmmmm...i don't care what you foolios say, laundry night is fun on a friday night. i mean, you're guaranteed a washer and dryer while everyone is out partying. seriously. the one thing i most despise about apartment living is the "laundry civil war" that always seems to erupt on sundays or even random days during the week. people will even goes as far as taking your [still] wet clothes out of the dryer and put theirs in! GHETTO! it's a savage laundry world out here on Scott street.....but on friday nights, it's all gravy train.....

SATURDAY: work @ kate spade in the a.m......same old, same old......after work, i eagerly ventured over to ECP and ant's BBQ shindig....much more mellow that the wild cinco de mayo affair, but it was still fun.....it seemed as if everyone was engrossed in some sort of thing....for the boys in the living room, it was the evil FOOSBALL table....for myslef, it was ant's G4, where i spent a good portion of the night downloading songs....good times....good times....

it was my pledge sister's bday and bon voyage party the same night, so i had to make a trip over to Club NV.....note that i had never been there before.....considering that it was a Synergy party, t wasn't all that bad...the music was actually fun to dance to. but why is it when you dance with your girly friends, guys get all predator-like and start dancing around you like some tribal ritual? creepy.

SUNDAY: fun day! the day started off early with a breakfast date w/ my girly homies @ Home plate.....yummy....then i met up w/ t-L and Nast for a funn filled day of hiking.....in half moon bay. dude...we rocked! we hiked a whopping 7.5 miles, complete with a whole lotta gargantuan coyyote dung and us walking against all the other hikers.....our hefty reward? rite aid icecream, play time @ BEST BUY and jack in the crack.....

the late afternoon called for a rendezvous with the rest of the softball homies @ Malibu castle, where we all met for some good ol' BP.....i have to say that it looks like the commish, JEFE, is the most "bonds-like" of the bunch...no worries, even his mad batting skillz can't carry his whole "black/gray" team [oooohhhh] this softball game is gonna be so much fun! thanks t-L, nast, jefe, and ECP for working so hard on those jerseys!!!!!

okay, so now it is monday a.m and i am sore and tired....and not wanting to work....bleh.....oh well, that's what mondays are for, right?

see ya homies!

*Phil posts right before he goes to bed watching elimidate*

I must say you guys have really worked on those jerseys.... I would have totaly tried to help out.. but after working 8 to god knows how long with clothes and retail all around you the last thing you want to do after work is to make clothes...I'm already doing my sweatshop for the day at mervyns... might I add everyone that I have gotten a whole desk now... yes not a 1/2 or 3/4... a whole desk... and its about time... everyone that pass by my desk mentioned it.. it was that dramatic.. everyone saw how tiny my desk was... it was pretty embarassing how small it was compared to my size (not to say that i'm gargatuan)... but yes I have to spend my 2 cents mentioning that... to other things

- so do we have like a manager or team captain for the two teams??? how bout the fielding? are we going to decide that there??? How do we reserve a place that we know will not be taken???

- MAMMA MIA - what a great show! I love it.. it's so awesome.. I can't believe I never saw it before.. great storyline, great singing.. acting was pretty good.

- cirque du soleil is coming this november-december (to pac bell park)I forget what the title of this one is called "starts with a v"... just wanted to let you know me and ariel are going on nov 23 e already bought the tickets) so if any of you guys are interested in going that day or just want to see just letting you know now

- so yeah this dandigiman thing kills... love it too death..

- anyone annoyed that tanya not josh got booted out of big brother
- isn't everyone happy that a.j. finally got booted out of american idol
- does anyone know if bill, heather , or dorothy is the mole????

I could list you d as the "Best New Designer" for November....your pic could be right next to one of your teen pop hotties.....whaddya think?

my fellow AIDS WALKERS: damn, 10K! i really didn't think it was that long! but i had fun w/ Philly, Ariel, and t-Lam ...especially on our little "detour" to the football (NOT fubol...sorry TAFT) championship....even though we went to the wrong windmill..."You mean there are TWO windmills?!"....and yes, i too must add....."YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS FOR WALKING!!!!!!"

"SEE THAT GIRL.....WATCH THAT SCENE...DIG IN, THE DANCING QUEEN...."
ohhh man...MAMMA MIA rocked the casbah....fellow 3rd floor homies, you guys really gotta watch this show.....i think i can safely speak for Val r, Philly, Ariel, Christine, Ariel, and Ed (not ECP) and say that this was the best musical i have ever seen......i mean, what other musical would have the fabulous renditions of ABBA songs??? and what other show would convince little old ladies to start dancing out of their seats??? only MAMMA MIA baby.....only CON: my bad for making val r. park in the GHETTO....i forgot that 6th street was quite the distance from the Orpheum.....but at least we didn't park in a DESERTED PARKING LOT in some eerie street

SOFTBALL SUNDAZE.....
and i have to come late...booooo.....but i am nonetheless stoked! can i be like NEN and come up in the 9th??? too bad i can't pitch to save my life....but if you guys need a catcher...that's me, baby.....i'm like Benito Santiago (just not old.....and Latin.....and a man...nevermind) I'd also like to share my symbolism of my jersey number...8. not only is it a lucky number, it is also my OG pager code (888) and the infamous number of the doubly talented BO JACKSON....one of my favorite childhood players (what ever happened to him, anyways?? i have his Topps rookie baseball card...is it even worth anything????)

ok, so i am at work and i hate typing on this laptop...i feel like whenever i do, i'm on the verge of carpal tunnel....YIKES!....but, it's the only time where i can actually blog and feel okay about it b/c i'm still getting paid...it's like i'm getting paid to BLOG...how much fun is that?

what ever happened to michelle?are you coming up this weekend?????

when is Dan the Digi Man gonna come out with his Digi-Software???

nast: i thinkwe should ALL wear the A's throwback jerseys....especially T-Lam...she looks so striking in that barf yellow (and it IS the color for Summer 2002

T-Lam....are we going hiking on Sunday or what?? my boots and i are ready to go.....or are we gonna be too hungover from ECP's soiree???

Philly: how's your new WHOLE desk???

NightTime only means one thang....Jefe returns to the Blogging madness.

First the shout out:
T-Lam - many thanks to my deputy commissioner for the blog/update earlier....i can always count on you!
Nick - thanks for ordering those jerseys....much appreciated

Well, everyone, the game is slowly working itself out. We, for the most part, got everyone's confirmation, jersey sizes, and numbers. The teams have been completed and the rosters will be revealed tomorrow evening. Now, it's nothing to lose sleep over, so be reassured that you'll like your team. Otherwise, we (the sweatshop committee) will make you like your team. Jersey colors have been assigned to each team as well. We have set the date of the game for sunday, August 4th. Time and place to be determined, but aiming for after lunch. We have also tentatively set a date for a 2nd game...saturday, august 10th....details to come.

Many thanks to the sweatshoppers....your cutting skills are unmatched. Nick - I am awarding you the MICY award....the "Most Improved Cutter of the Year"....practice does make perfect. Ed - If i had that much chlorine in my system, I'd start to think a 5 looked like a 2. T-Lam - you did say "on my knees"...you prolly edited it out. But thanks for letting us congregate in your house and using it as our sweatshop.

Damn, this blog was hella boring. All the work with these jerseys has tired me out. Anyways, blog me back with anymore questions.

jefe


softball update from the deputy commissioner (tiff lam)

good morning all! the commissioner (jefe) wanted me to update everyone on the status of our softball game. last nite in a tension filled room somewhere, the 3rd Floor 2002 Softball Draft was transpiring. where were you when you heard the news? what feelings were flowing through your body? what thoughts were running through your mind? aaahhhh the excitement of the draft! if any of you would like to know how it all went down, there is a recording of the draft for a mere $999.99 with a shipping charge of $9.95 please make checks mayable to the 3rd Floor Softball Commission.

besides the draft, jefe, nick, ed, and i have been working diligently in the sweatshop to provide you all with the best looking jerseys for the softball game. i have marks all over my arms from all the labor intensive work and my fingers are getting too toned from all the cutting. but it is all worth it when we see all of you on the field in the best damn looking jerseys ever made...it makes me emotional just thinking of it so i must stop and compose myself.
well, that's all from me...the commission himself will be blogging a few remarks about the status of the softball game...like when and where (minor details). so peace out from the deputy commissioner!!

enjoy the rest of your day everybody!
tiff lam =)
ps. jefe, nick, and ed: please read my previous blog. no where does it say anything about "on my knees" i think you guys are victims of wishful thinking. i knew i wouldn't write something like that. you all need girlfriends desperately!!!

These hyper-text blogs are so simplistic and infintile, I don't even know why I waste my time.....

Weird, Phil? Doust thou doubt my dedication to Project Xian. The klugee that has muddled your brains in the real world has discombobulated you all into single minded 9-5 working sheep. Turn the mirror around people. You are the weird ones. I, on the other hand, am excentric like Cobra Commander or the PowerPuff Girls.

My video game is coming along swimmingly for all those who care, which should be all of you. I have now created a virtual girl to go with my virtual Dan. I will call her Virtual Dana or VD. Virtual Dan was getting lonely and needed a companion so I thought, what better to help Virtual Dan get over his isolation than a little VD.

Now to address everyone individually, as is protocol on these stoopid Blogs.....

Jefferey Luna- I'll play softball, but only if I'm not the shortstop again. I would like my number to be 00101001001010, which translated from unicode says Koreans Rule.

Ed- I will be in attendance at your party and will bring all of my Korean and munch-kin friends. We will bring lolly pops from Lollypopland and dance and sing show tunes in our high pitched voices for your amusement.

Tiffany B- Davis rules, the rest of the world drools.

Tiffany L- The only thing more red than my hair is your face after one shot. Snicker, snicker.

Nick- I will play you in foosball, but instead of using the poles I will simply jump onto the table and run around scoring goals galore.

Michelle- How do you get into so many accidents? I can't see over the wheel and I still drive better than you.

Phil, Sylv, Tiff, Christine (Aids Walkers)- Good for all of you. I would've joined you but as some as you may know, my right leg is shorter than my left leg. When I walk I can only make right turns and the Aids Walk was all about left turns. Maybe next time, I'll petition that they change the direction of the walk so I can join you. Also, the exit door to my bat-cave isn't working right now, so I'm stuck indoors.

To everyone I didn't mention -___insert name here____ what's up. ___insert location here___was a lot of fun. we should do it again. but next time, we shouldn't __insert embarrassing moment that occured in location here___. that was hilarious though. also, you're a ___insert inside joke/nickname/insult here___.

have a heart. help koreans.
Dan the digi-man.
I'm starting to get the feeling that Monday is Blogging day.....that is why I Blog on Tuesdays.

Days till BBQ at AA&E's: 4 If you can BYOB(eer) or BYOF(ood) or BYOH(ot)C(hicks) that would be great because I have none of the above.
Days since something that was alive turned into something dead in my tank-o-horrors: - 2 (I spaced that my Lion fish, aptly named Tigger by Tiff, eats a live feeder fish almost every day. Hence, every time I say nothing has died recently, it's not true. It's a cool Discovery Channel/Animal Planet kind of death, but I just wanted to clarify that for everyone so they don't think I'm lying.)

I'm sorry, but.....Taft we only invited you. Your spirit wasn't invited. On a similar soccer note, I will now rip off my shirt and run around my house every time I score a goal in foosball. At the rate I score on Nick, Ant, et.al. I will need to buy 70 new shirts a day. So what did you say your Mervyn's discount was again Phil?

The Geneva Conference took 39 weeks (or some really long amount of time close to that).......how do you expect us to make one of the biggest decisions in only 3 hours? If T-Lamb was running the show.....the guys would be wearing see-through, mid-drift, mesh shirts with numbers drawn with a sharpie. Jefe, on the other hand, is calculatingly determining which jerseys will provide the best comfort and style according to the elements that the 4th will bring upon us. He has checked all weather patterns and radar charts to aid in his decision making process. So I ask, is it really JUST a jersey?.........is the U.S.A. JUST a country?, is love JUST a feeling?, is a sunset JUST a view?......So I ask, how can we JUST pick a jersey?.....The idea itself is ludicrous and offensive. Seek a corner to hide in because I say to you all who thought what Tiff said to be funny, be shameful of yourselves. JUST pick a jersey?.....the idea has never entered my mind. Also...no store had my size.

Tiff....first you diss our jerseys then you diss CAL. What's your deal? I'm surprised you didn't go for the hat-trick and slam on my manhood. Oh wait, you called us ladies didn't you? Congrats.

ECP

ps- Party from about 5-6-7-8 or 9 till whenever.
ps- I hope Dan posts again.

Go MLS.

Monday, July 22, 2002
7:15 PM
Davis

Wow, seems like lots have been going on with everyone these days. Makes me a little homesick, but I'm glad I still get to hear what goes on with you all. As for Ed's soiree, I am sad to say that I will not be in attendance. Again. I think Ed keeps picking dates that he knows I can't make as a way to keep me away from his house. I'll be there in spirit (hey t-lam, be sure to take a nice big shot of real vodka for me okay) and I'll miss you all sorely as I'm running around Tahoe playing some lacrosse (where I will be incorporating some new soccer skills to my game, such as slide tackling and ripping my shirt off after scoring a goal).

Speaking of soccer (and you thought all the soccer comments were gonna end way back when Germany gave U.S. the boot. Ha, think again!), I had the fortunate privilege of watching my second MLS game this season as the Earthquakes played the Dallas Burn in Spartan Stadium on Saturday. And I am now 2 for 2 in watching a Quakes game where Donovan scores and yes, rips his shirt off (sidenote: Since Donovan's return to MLS play after the Cup, he's scored 2 goals, both in games where I was in attendance. Yup, I knew you'd see the connection there too). Saddest thing I saw during the game: a little 5-year old boy getting smacked in the head by a ball that a Burn player kicked into the stands. And he didn't even say sorry to the kid. Bastard. Bring a tear to your eye moment after the game: Eddie Robinson, the Earthquakes player who was guarding that bastard Burn player, ran over to the boy in the stands the minute the game ended to see if the kid was okay. The look of concern on his face was absolutely priceless. So how did I end another great day of MLS fun (the Quakes clobbered the Burn 4-0 by the way)? By getting Landon Donovan's autograph, that's how. Thank you, thank you very much.

~the Taft
p.s. how could sportmart not carry any baseball jerseys, especially considering baseball's still in season and all? Last I checked, the Big 5 up here in Davis had tons. Shall I contribute to the jersey craftsmanship workshop and see if they still have a bunch of ADULT sized jerseys in stock (again Nick, Jeff, and Anup, no the girls will not be wearing youth boys small jerseys) and snatch them up if they do?
nick's notes....

after being called a woman earlier on this blogging website, i find it necessary to respond. tiff- if u consider our behavior including 2.5 hours of shopping at sportmart, big 5, lunch at mcdonalds, sport city, copelands, foot action, foot locker, doumits, and athlete’s foot (all the sports stores in the mall area): all the while tossing baseballs, catch w/mitts, practice bunting w/bats, riding skateboards w/hand brakes, and whacking a giant tennis ball w/racquets; and sorry we didn’t buy anything considering no place had what we were looking for, if consider that girly..... well i don’t consider that a girly outing - but maybe for u, considering how manly u are tiff, we just couldn’t measure up.

on that shopping excursion, we were looking for some baseball jerseys for our upcoming softball game (which i believe will be on aug. 4th). and the jersey making project will be headed up by jefe, who has quite a remarkable skill at jersey craftsmanship, but since he has such a short time to make them - it would be very nice if people would be able to help in the jersey production process. i plan on helping and even with my limited craftsman skills i still will be able to help (i have been working to improve my skills recently though, working in the mornings on my straight line cutting, and then in the evenings on my gluing and tracing skills - already i’m much improved). so i hope that everyone’s able to participate in the game, and anyone’s help in putting the game together is much appreciated as well.
it's monday morning and i'm sitting here at work trying to find distractions to keep myself from having to start any actual work for the week. my boss is working from home today, so at least it should be an easy day.

to the aids walkers - i wish i'd seen you guys during the actual walking period, but i'm glad i saw you in the beginning. thanks phil for the help in finding the check-in area. somehow despite all the 10-foot signs my friend and i could not figure out how the system worked. we were chillin in the middle of the park looking for the "gap" sign in between the f's and the h's. it made so much sense to us when we found the gap tent near mervyn's and in a different field from all the other company tables. you guys have fun? can you believe that 2 of the friends i was with took off after about 30 minutes of walking? they were tired and hungry already and i guess they thought walking was just too strenuous... geez! i like it tho - pretty crowded but good exercise... my hammys are sore so i guess that means i got a good workout. so it's all worth the shiny green sticker you get at the end! =)

tiff lam - of course cal has classes about blogging - berk is just so great that it covers all types of subjects. plus it's easy units! and aren't we so smart cuz we (kinda) figured out how to blog without a class!

jefe - i wanna come out to the softball game too but i'm not very good. are there gonna be positions? i was catcher when i played on the team at work. and everyone go to the basketball game on aug. 22. in an effort to learn more about the sport, i am going to this game, but i'm going with only a couple pple i know and the rest i don't. so go go go! i'm very excited as i'm sure you all are for me, cuz this is my very first live basketball game (outside of high school b-ball) and i'll be seeing like real professional players (i think).

......now it's monday afternoon and i haven't posted this thing yet... well at least the day's going by faster than it usually does. can't wait to see everyone again at part 2 of ed's summer party installments. is this a daytime or a night-time thing?

talk to y'all soon!
christine
*monday morning*

What a weekend... boy was it eventful... I just had to share with you guys what I did...
friday I went to a bar called Kells for a coworker's going away party... that was interesting. I went with two of my female coworkers.. it was pretty interesting just how guys just come up to these girls...it was hilarious.. one of my co-workers is model pretty.. and guys just flocked her....too bad she was taller than most of the guys (she's like 6'1).. after which we went to this bar romolo's and then finished with fuse... where we finally found the people we were supposed to be meeting...I got pretty buzzed which I haven't done since that one bar we hit up on mission (forgot its name skylark?)

saturday - I just pretty much did a bay area shopping extravaganza that started with a DWR wherehouse sale in Union City to an excursion through Valleyfair ... ate at Max's Opera Cafe at Stanford Mall... and then journey back home... boy were me and Ariel exhausted... I was able, however, to buy some nice A&F t-shirts so I can wear for the remainder of this summer season....

sunday - I did the aids walk... freaking got their at 7:45 a.m. b/c Ariel signed up to setup... what a retard.. we got there so early I practically fell asleep on one of the chairs for the main stage...I was so exhausted..Sylv, Lamster, Ariel and I ended up walking together pretty much the entire course. 10km is actually a long walk considering you practically make a big circle around gg park..afterwards we just had some lunch provided by my company and then left. I was pretty pissed off that I forgot my free gap boxers coupon that just so happened to end that day... so I didn't get those but at least I felt like I did something healthy for a change...

Ok so that's pretty much how my weekend went.. sorry if it sounds boring.. I have to go back to work and I can't stay on this for much longer.

till we meet again
PHIL
the sun has come up, so now tiff can blog.
just a few things to say
syl and phil-i had a great time at AIDS walk! thanks for making it seem shorter than 10K...it was fun chillin..."THANKS FOR WALKING, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!"
ed - that long sleeve shirt would've been a great sleeping shirt. maybe next year we'll finally get one! you are playin next year right?
jefe, nick, ed, and b-ball crew - you gals are the biggest bunch of women i know...i can't believe it took 3 hours to shop around and in the end we came out of Serramonte empty handed. you ladies were too picky and anal...they're just jerseys. i don't even think you gals take that much time to shop for NICE clothes...jesus, mary, and joseph!!
random thought for the day
~ did you know that UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism is offering classes about blogging? this is where our tax dollars goes towards...teaching mentally challenged CAL students how to blog. what the F***? only at freaking BERK!
another random note: as MNF has acquired John Madden as an announcer, we should all watch the games together. a little disappointed that dennis miller will no longer be part of the show, but i am so freakin excited about madden joining al michaels (almost need to change my pants - TMI, i know). we can watch games at my place...popcorn provided but BYOB! see you on Sept 9th. woohooo!
reeg et all - i have a line for you...if anyone uses this on a real live person that you're actually trying to get at, i will bow down and tell everyone you have the biggest balls ever!
"my love is like diarrhea, i just can't keep it in!"
THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! You can't get any better than that! hope that brightens everyones day!

The sun has gone down, so now I can blog! The Jefe only comes out at night! (just ask all my girlfriends. Wink. Wink.)

I'll keep this short and to the point. Sorry to the fellas (nick, ed, and phil) that the A's tickets did not come in for yesterday's game. I promise that my co-worker will come through next time.
Anyways, this goes out to everyone. Anyone interested in checking out the b-ball game at the Oakland Arena on August 22 (Thursday) at 7pm? It's the U.S National Team (featuring Jay Williams....enough said) vs. the Chinese National Team! Tickets range from $15 - 80. I suggest we get the $80 tickets! Yeah right. It'll be fun. Where else can you see the tallest chinese person ever (I'm not sure about that), Yao Ming at 7'6" and the shortest chinese person ever (and I'm sure about this) Tiff Lam at 4'5" in the same building? We can take a picture that would be priceless and send it to the guiness book of world records. We can also throw Ed into the middle of the picture and sell it as a postcard captioning it as "The evolution of a Chinese Person" Just an idea...don't steal it...the idea's already been sent to the US patenting comission.

My random (and I mean random) thought for today: You can see how much free time I had at work today...j/k...today was actually a busy day for a friday. Anyways, if a person was half chinese and half filipino, we can give them a new race/ethnicity and call them "CHINA-PINO" (pronounced cheee-naah-peee-NO). Please emphasize the vowels and the "NO" at the end to say it correctly. HAHAHA. Thanks...i thought it was good myself...i gave myself a pat on the back. Sorry, Lam Chop, but it's too many syllables for you to pronounce. Tell me if you think of a two-syllable alternative.

In response....
ED - I'm down for the shindig, but i won't be there til 8 cuz that's when the sun goes down. And sorry to say this, but due to your request that I only come when the sun is down, you will be missing out on my "chics" in their bathing suits and thongs cuz it'll be hot that day. You can only see them in their sweaters and jeans when they come. Also, I have cum up with the ingenious idea of human foosball. We can all be attached and evenly spaced apart and play in your backyard! I'm a master at rotating forwards and backwards w/o using my hands!

IRT - I love "running" (aka. walking/skipping) with you two. Laughs galores mi amors! Hahaha I crack myself up! We must go again next week and i promise my foot will be better. You others should join us...we gonna be the best trained "crew" ever! Warning: there is an initiation/hazing process b4 joing the IRT!

Gots to go, but drum roll please...the annoncement you all have been waiting for: Softball game the weekend of aug. 3 or 4!

I'm out...like when I'm not in.
Jefe

nick's notes....

i'd have to say ed, that u're in luck, b/c i'm gonna be able to make it to your "humble abode" for the sequel....the first one was so good that i couldn't miss the next. and about your abode being humble, once u add the foosball table, it's longer humble. and as for your players doing two-a-days, well all i have to say is that i'm getting ready too - since i have foosballitis (symptoms include: involuntary turning of the wrists all day long - even in my sleep) {foosballitis is a reference to futbalitis, in the adidas commercials for all of u who were cool and watched the world cup}. and in reference to some of the stipulations which we will need to work on for the partyl; #4 "hot chics for Ed." - all we need is for taft to come to the shindig w/her boa. maybe u should buy many boas in advance and hand them to all the ladies as they walk through the door. the party could have a boa/fooz theme.

days till the party: 9, and days since a fish has died in your tank of death: 109 - so there's some correlation there (the first # is simply the integral of 1/pi put into the rule 3.1 of pythagerus' theory on preventing ties in diamondesque sports).

and i'd like to make a plea to all those out there who feel like the stairs are getting a little steeper, that the drier has been shrinking your clothes, and any other related incidents - to cure all these bizarre occurances, just come out to the lake and get a litl' exercise with the IRT in the evenings from monday to friday.

Wednesday, July 17, 2002

It's that magical time again (summer-time) when Anthony, AO, and Ed will be hosting another party (the sequel). It's been recommended (by 4 out of 5 dentists) and approved that a BBQ would be ideal (cheap'n easy) for such a gathering. We request your presence at our humble abode (corner of Santiago St. and 35th Ave.) and have some of the required elements ready in place.....
1. a triple sow cow (that should be triple bonus points for using a figure-skating joke)
2. a grill
3. some charcol
4. our house
5. friends to bring food (that means you).
Some advanced elements we will need everyone to work on.......
1. a triple axel-toe combination
2. friends to bring alcohol (that too means you)
3. the sun (sorry, Jefe Luna is not invited....okay, Luna's invited, but only after the sun leaves).
4. hot chics for Ed.
I cannot implore upon you guys the importance of having item 4 readily available. If anything do not forget about 4 as it is essential for a successful party. We would've picked out a later date (remember dates for Ed) but we all have shit to do (Anthony's busy filming a porn, AO's busy being a white guy, and Ed's visa ran out and must return home to the mainland). Hope this isn't too short (like Tiff, Nick, Dan.....shoot all of you are short to me) of a notice. Keep us posted on if you can come on by and chill. If you can't make it no big deal (we just hope you burn in hell). Let's say about early evening on the 27th.

Days till the party: 10
Days since a fish has died in my tank of death: 108

I was kinda hoping there was going to be some correlation there, but there isn't so don't worry about it.

ECP

ps -- My foosball players are doing double practices to prepare for the upcoming season. You better watch it because you too might face my fury of fooz.



good morning all!
i've finally recovered from the weekend! you guys and gals should've seen me on sunday...not my best moment. ask ed, i was barely awake during our football game =) so thanks tiff b for having a damn good BBQ even though you are the biggest alcohol pusher i know =) it was quite fun until my face turned red and the room started to rotate. never again i tell ya!
just wanted to invite people to brisk walking / running around lake merced. jefe, nick, and i have been doing this for 2 days now and it really is fun. laughing and walking - always a good combo. also, jefe is trying to become the indian running king so we all need to help him out. if anyone is interested, let jefe know.
sorry for the bad news but camping has been postponed until a further date. i haven't found any sites that are available for the next couple of weeks - i have checked mendocino county, east bay parks, monterey area - and nothing. i will keep you all posted. but until then, any people interested in hiking during the weekends? Mt. Tam seems like a good first try so if anyone wants to be one with nature, let me know.
things that i've learned from this past weekend
1) no more alcohol...serious
2) embarrassing moments are my forte...if any of you have did something embarrassing recently that made you feel awful, talk to me - everything will be much better after talking to me. apparently i have no shame
3) sleep is truly overrated...i can actually make it through the day with only 6 hrs of sleep =)
4) i am not allergic to working out / doing exercise - who would've thought?
5) sore arm pits are the pits! get it?!?! hehehe

alrighty, i gotta go and try to do some work. enjoy the rest of your day everybody!

Tuesday, July 16, 2002

not only is christine going to read the blog, but she's going to contribute! don't fall out of your chairs with excitement now... =P

ok for reals just to get the record straight i did blog waaaaaay back when it was new and there were maybe 3 pple doin it. since then i've been on a read-only basis due to my lack of a reliable internet access at home and getting distracted all the time at work. or would this be the distraction to my work? anyways, i've heard that pple don't like those that just read, so i'm gonna ramble too... but i've enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts! =)

my thoughts at the moment: it was so fun to see (almost) everyone at spiffy tiffy's house last wkend! with what other friends would i be able to watch soft porn and play with a big doggie and a little doggie? hmm... maybe i shouldn't mention those in the same sentence. anyways, we should def. do something all together again. heard jeff is planning softball - can we go indoor rock-climbiing too?

to the ladies - yay to us for actually waking up and braving the horrible cold to make it to breakfast! that place was yummy. why is it that i always get carbs for breakfast tho? a scone, french toast, and pancakes??? if it wasn't so good i'd feel guilty. oh well... oh and when i got home my mom said i smelled like the restaurant - but not the sweet syrupy kind of smell - she said i smelled like cooked grease! yuck! but tiff lam, we missed you! we have to try this again soon and make it for a day where you'd actually be able to stay for more than 30 minutes too. maybe we could watch your football games and then eat breakfast afterwards! the boys could even come along!

Tiff B - so sorry to hear about your final. first it sucks you got a bloody nose (cuz those things are so annoying. they have NO purpose!) and then to have it get in the way of your final. he should've at least letyou try to take the test so you studied for something. can you report him? get him fired!

so did the giants win today? glad to hear we beat arizona last nite but randy johnson was pitching today and he's tough to beat. plus i don't like ortiz. did you know that he got laser eye surgery to correct his vision, and then when his pitching sucked, he blamed it on the surgery? what a whiner! i went to the game on sunday but unfortunately they lost. good rally at the end, but rockies pitcher got 2 strike-outs when we should've scored. sucks. plus now i'm a little sick from the game. sick in july? not cool.

so i'm doing the aids walk on sunday! who else is doing it? sylv? phil? anyone else? i'm very excited since i've never done one of these walks. i hope i make it. anyone wanna sponsor me? it's a good cause and tax-deductable! maybe the pple that are gonna do it we can meet up or something? but then again with the thousands of pple there that might be a little difficult.

random thought: i just started watching sex and the city. got the dvd's of the first 2 seasons, but i gotta be home in sf to watch them cuz no dvd player here at the apt. very entertaining! i guess at least one has sex in almost every episode? only seen 2, and that's the trend so far. anyone wanna watch with me? i can bring the dvd's!

gotta get up early for another fantabulous day of running around for a boss i hate. actually my immediate boss is super nice - love her. but her boss (hence my other boss) is yucky yucky yucky. he's rude, he's gross, and he looks like fat bastard. if you ever want to see f.b. in real life, come visit me at work. he waddles around sucking in all the fresh air around him and breathing out so heavily you can hear him down the hall. i feel the floor shake before he gets to my desk, and he sweats like no other. and i wonder if he's ever even thought of trimming his nose hairs! and it gets worse! but i'll save that for another blog cuz i almost lost this one just now! yikes!

ok this is the end of the rambling.

On another note (Warning: this pertains to soccer. All those not interested, ignore): Just caught the roster for the U.S. national team that will play against the MLS All-Stars and am very disappointed to not see Tony Sanneh, Claudio Reyna, and Frankie Hejduk included in that list. Yeah they all play for European teams, but I'm sure the head honchos could have gotten them out here if they tried hard enough. The people want to see their 2002 World Cup U.S. team, not this mix of the past and present Cup players.

I Just Got Screwed. By My Professor.

Tuesday, July 16, 2002
12:45 PM
UCD Computer Lab

So check this out. I had a systemic physiology test today at 10am. I bike on over to the lecture hall and get there 5 minutes before the test starts. Just as my professor begins to pass out the test, my nose starts to bleed!! And it was full on gushing, no little sniff it up nose bleed. So I run up to my professor and tell him I have to go to the bathroom because of my nose. I'm in the bathroom (embarassed as hell because I looked like a freak as I bolted out of the room) and my nose just isn't working with me and it takes me about 25 minutes for it to fully stop. Mind you the test is only 50 minutes long, so I've already lost half my time to take it. I walk back into the lecture hall and I apologize to my professor for being out so long. What does the bastard tell me? "Oh you'll have to drop this test (we get to drop our lowest score of the 5 tests we take), I can't let you take this test because you were gone for so long." What? How is that fair? I couldn't even take part of the test and answer as many questions as I could in the last 25 minutes. I was shocked. Furious. Upset. Confused. Basically, I just got screwed because I happened to get a nose bleed at the worst possible time. Afterwards I tried to talk to the rat bastard again, but all I heard was blah blah, must follow policy, this and that, the word policy came up again, and you have to drop the test. If he heard the words streaming through my head as he talked, he would have heard something along the lines of "bitch, ass, mother, and faulker." Damn the man.

But on a much, much happier note, thank you to everyone for coming out to my bbq Saturday night. What a turnout, especially for being so very last minute and all. And thank you for the wonderful presents, I loved them all. You spoil me. Tiff- I told you I'd help you work on your tolerance, so if that means a whole 2 shots of your special "vodka", so be it; Jefe- Nike would be proud of your fine craftsmanship with the Donovan jersey; Phil & Christine- after today's fiasco, I will be making good use out of your relaxation tips book; Steph & Ant- yes I kept the Donovan pic in the frame and it's proudly hanging on my wall (unfortunately I will be replacing it soon with the big group pic we all took). Oh, and what was with all the baby shower bags I got again? Are yall implying that I put on some pounds and look like I'm pregnant or something? :-) So I like to eat as if I really was a pregnant woman, nothing wrong with that right.

I'm gonna go find out where my professor lives and TP and egg his house now.

~Taft
*Phil sits at his half-desk eating a burrito and drinking water*

The Story of the Birthday Boa

Friday, July 12, 2002
2:58 PM
Davis

Hello superfriends. It's almost 3 o'clock and hopefully your asses are still at work sitting at your computer desks, anxiously waiting for my next blog. Or not. Anyhoo, birthday bbq at my house on Saturday night! Decided on the late bbq just because I figured people might have other things going on in the afternoon and I had no preference on having an afternoon or night shindig. So night it is. Sorry for the late notice by the way. The fast-paced life of Davis can sweep you away sometimes. Especially when it's 114 degrees out. god damn it's hotter than a mothereffer up in here.

4 Beers + 2 Blowjobs (shots, you pervs) = :-)

Onto the birthday boa fun (for all you guys that aren't fashionistas like sylvia spade and the vals, a boa is one of those long feather scarf-like accessories). So one of my teammates threw a party at her place last night and I decided to go for some pre-party downtown drinking action. 3 beers later, hello buzz. My friend Ali, notorious for wearing whatever random junk she finds in her closet, decides to bust out the boa for the evening and since it was my birthday and all (well technically 2 hours before my birthday), I got to sport the fabulous long black boa. Be jealous, be very jealous. Everyone else was. We then leave my teammate's house and head for downtown. The clock struck 12 just as I walked through the doorway (and away from the hot bouncer guy who had just wished me a very very happy birthday with a cute wink and a smile. hee hee, this is taft blushing). Up to the bar we go. Another beer. Now I don't know if I was giving off some phermones like no other or if it was the boa, but the boys were coming up left and right. This is a new experience for me here, so of course I'm gonna relish in the moment. My roommate Mona takes my ID to the bartender at one point to try to get a "birthday special" (aka let's weasle our way out of paying for any alcohol tonight) but the guy decides to just give them their tab and me a birthday present: the infamous blowjob shot. Unfortunately I couldn't hold the shot glass with my lips only because the glass was too big, so I was forced to use my pinky to balance it as I took the shot, even though I wasn't supposed to. Blehhh. At this point, yes I'm smashed. Ok time to talk to more boys. Sitting at a table full of Theta Xi guys (not my first choice in frat men, but hey I'll take em) and of course, I end up having to perform yet another blowjob performance for the crowd. Get your minds outta the gutter. Onto the Cantina next door. No more drinking (because taft doesn't like to hug toilets), just dancing, and again, the boys come a runnin. Wow this was some magical boa. An hour of sweaty dancing later, we find ourselves at our usual post-drinking spot, the Jack. As we get closer to the window to pick up our food, two guys from god knows where come running around each of the cars in line. One is wearing a shirt, the other is not and as he ran past my window, I yell out to him, "Why are you still wearing pants?" and sure enough, the pants and boxers went down as he ran away into naked oblivion. No better way to end the night than with a little peepshow. Happy birthday to me.
*LINE DU JOUR*
(line of the day for you non-comprehending peeps)

By popular demand, I present to you the line du jour. Follow these simple rules when using them: 1) look directly in the person's eyes, 2) end each line with a wink, 3) make sure your breath's not close enough in case the funk kicks in, and lastly, 4) cover the balls in case something goes bad...so here's the initial line:

GIRL YOU'RE SO HOT, I GET A SUNTAN JUST LOOKING AT YOU


Be original! Feel free to contribute....and I forgot to tell you I get royalty checks for everytime someone uses a line of mine....thanks!

one love,
RTeezy off the Heezy

*Phil stares at his bandaged toe*

I went to the doctor today to get my toe fixed... for those of you who don't know I have had problems with my feet for quite awhile... I would explain it in detail but would figure it would gross some people out.... I finally got someone to get it fixed... it was literally turning purple! it was painful... if I just grazed my foot against a wall, a chair, it felt like I kicked it real hard... but now it starting to heal...

Has anyone thought of what we are doing for tiffy wiffy b-day???? I would like to know soon so that I could make sure I keep it free??? If tiffy wiffy you are reading this, please enlighten us...

Has anyone seen watched big brother 3? I'm so excited another reality show for me!!!! woohoo.. american idol, road rules, dog eat dog, the mole, and big brother... what more could I ask for??? (for those who watch the mole, any thoughts on who it is?)

I got off work today at 9:20 pm. Can I call my job sweatshop labor??? Now not only the people who make clothes are working in sweatshop but so are the ones buying it!

anyone some random thoughts

regan - reganology 101 I can earn a lot from you... I think... what lines u got, I hear your the king of pick up lines?

lamster - educational = 5 syllables...for someone who said 3 syllables was much that is overkill?

nickerbacker - I'm down to go to $ wed for the oakland a's game on the 30th... anyone else who wants to go let us know!

sylv - thanks for the compliment for the 4th.. I'm glad you had fun though your stay was short-lived

tiff b, tomorrow is your lucky day... aren't u excited!!! it's your good ole b-day!

*sings* happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday tiffy wiffy spiffy..... happy birthday to you

christine - I know I can always count on you for great advice

Michelle - I can't believe I've been able to get a hold of you each time I call.. it's a miracle...

Jefe - don't schedule the baseball game anytime soon.. or at least let me know so I can tell my toe to heal faster

Ed- are you going to throw another house party? and by the way happy belated b-day!!!!

Ok i'm out for now and ready to go to bed

pesronal, unsolicitated testimonial for REGANOLOGY 101....

before i started taking reganology i'd see a fly honey, and wouldn't know what to say. but now, i've learned all the pick up lines - so my game is exploding off the top of a thermometer, and i'm spitting game so tight that i can't keep the lady's off me. by the time i finish reganology i'll be a bonafied playa.

hooked on regan worked for me!!


this'll be my first blog of the week, but it seems to me that the weekend just ended....that was more like a short vacation than just an extended weekend. and before i even got into the hang of the week, my next weekend is already upon me. it's a nice way to live i guess, weekend to weekend, and this weekend im'a be out of town at my family reunion - which is up past sonora, so i'll be waaay hot all weekend, and not just b/c of my reganology - but b/c i'm gonna be in some 100+ degree weather all weekend (and anything in the 70s is already too hot for me).

i'm glad to hear from u WAZONK that u're managing to live with less than double digits of sleep a night, and even better - u're devoting that should be sleeping time to foosball. foosball is more than just a game, some people will call it a sport even (and that's b/c it is), but more than that - Foosball is a way of life, a style of living, a religion. i'd have to suggest to everyone to try out your Foosball skills, b/c as for me - the most fulfilling thing i've zccomplished in my life has been becoming a member of the Jedi Foosball Council (and once i successfully finish reganology - that'll be right up there too).

***FROM A YOUNG G's PERSPECTIVE***
as always, i'm the first one to sign up for anything that involves regan. you can reganate me anytime =) reeg, just one constructive comment, if you really want to succeed as a lecturer you need to remember one thing about your audience (young g's)
**as we are all college graduates now, words longer than 3 syllables are difficult to understand...for instance, hyperbole is no longer a word in our vocabulary. hell i think you're pushing it with words longer than 2 syllables. but definitely keep the flo' coming (my 1st try at slanguage)...it will be educational for all of us.
and now something serious...i am sitting at my desk barely awake because i am addicted to foozball (is that how you spell it?) after hanging out with the Jedi council of foozball, i have become a devoted follower...striving to become the queen of the jedi council. from now on, please refer to me as "WAZONK!" the beautiful sound of a goal *sigh. AND NOW I WAKE UP!!! i can't believe i stayed up until 12:30AM to play foozball...i'm way tired!!
i really gotta take a nap...talk to you all laters
tiff lam...."earning a man, learning a man, and at the same time burning a man" =)
~don't worry jefe i would never forget about the lap dance i owe you. i've been practicing *wink*wink...patience little one =)


***IDIOT'S GUIDE TO REGANOLOGY 101***

Yep, you read that right...to those unfamiliar with the term, let's break it down: -ology = the study of; regan- = me! So when you put them together, you get the study of Regan. Don't worry, the "Idiot's" in the title isn't directed at you guys, only some of you (and you know who you are). Guys this is my first lecture, so be easy on me...all constructive criticism is very much appreciated. But since I like most of y'all, I'm posting this here first. And please, I cannot stress it any more, only give the web address to those who you feel are worthy to receive the wrath of Reganology, or in philosophical and academia terms, to be Reganated.

Now back to the lecture at hand (Snoop, "Nuthin' But a G Thang" The Chronic 1992). Sorry to go on a tangent but a ethical writer, such as myself, always quotes his sources. I know some of you may be thinking, "that Regan guy, where does he come up with these off-the-wall ideas?" Truth is, it's yall! Everyone around me inspires me and forces me to use both sides of my brain. Mr. Pan commented over the extended weekend that I have a dictionary of phrases that I use and discard. And while pondering that notion, I asked myself the $69,000 question - "why and how?" And that whats this study is ultimately about. The poet 2 Scoop of the The Doveshack eloquently states "why do we do what we do when we do what we do hanging out late with no curfew?" in one of his timeless pieces. And at 2:30am I'm stringing those ideas together, leading to the first installment of Reganology: Phonetics, which is a branch of Slanguage. Don't waste you're money on Hooked on Phonics when you can get free Hooked on Regan, yall just pay me with your friendship. Right now I'ma present a step by step guide teaching you to speak like me! But please don't expect overnight success, it takes years of practice and development to create these Reganisms:

Step I:Take any ordinary phrase and urbanize it. This may seem hard to do, but its really not. For discussion purposes, let's use the phrase "I will be leaving soon." Multiple options can arise, such as "I'ma bounce right quick" or "I'ma jet in a minute." Let's use the latter example to continue.

Step II:Play word association with the key word. In this case "jet": X-15, New York (football team), James Jett (athlete), "Make it Real" (singing group), black magazine, Navy.

Step III:Use similes or metaphors to link the phrases together. Hyperbole is also recommended in some cases (to be discussed in future chapters). In this case, I'll use the example of the periodical. So the initial phrase of "I will be leaving soon" transforms into "I'ma be a black magazine and Jet in a hot minute." Remember "hot" is the universal adjective; it can describe virtually anything.

Step IV:File word association words not used in your memory bank (if that's the case, I'm like Richie Rich). Save for later. Also, like the pizza boy, DELIVERY is equally important. Keep in mind you want to use these Reganisms sporadically and vary it up, so you'll be like pepper and add flavor.

Step V:Now for the interactive part. Come up with your own Reganisms! And remember, even if you did it, its still a Reganism. If it's too hard for you Mr. Pak to come up with, don't worry about it. The most creative one will receive a yet-to-be-determined prize. Good luck!

Next week's lesson: gametics (take good notes Mr. Luna)

peace,
Professor Regancrates

"i can be your hero baby....."

sf, cali
5:42 p.m

ahhhh. there's nothing more soothing than watching an array of fireworks burst into the night air as enrique iglesias croons his infamous "Hero" song.....don't you agree?

NOT REALLY.

but the A's game DID rock.....i must admit, it was ALMOST as exciting as a good ol' giants game. ALMOST. so i must give kudos to our faithful A's fan, nast, for arrangin our little gathering.....even though i did waste about 5 years of my life [okay, 2 1/2 innings] attempting to get some garlic fries and a milkshake. denny's was a blast, too....just like good ol' si days when we used to kick it in those booths and munch on those samplers.....

reeg-sta: "remember that one episode in SEX AND THE CITY when......" yeah, you know what i'm talking about, homie. it's aiight, i like that show alot too. i'm so glad we got to kick it this past weekend....hmmmm....it's about time you moved back to da bay....hollywood regs isn't really your style, ya know?

philly: i told you you would throw a good party......"because you're not the typical guy...." heeheehee....4th of july, albiet short, was much fun...and much food! oh, and those 3 hours in the A's parking lot was the most fun in a parking lot that i've ever had...don't you agree?

TAFT: happy early birthday......so are we gonna party it up or what? sorry i couldn't make it to the quakes game...i was there in spirit. but hey, they won! but donavan? hmmm...a little young for my taste.....but then, i like them fogies....

t-Lam: sup chickie.....we gotta hit the b-lounge together soon......i'm down w/ only one glass, b-cuz those glasses are $14 to begin with! so i'll make sure my tolerance is extremely low that night...and i am curious to see this fabulous lap dance performance of yours.....

ECP: happy belated, tall guy. i hope your cake was yummy......we should do something for your bday....maybe you can flaunt that fabulous pink flamingo cape of yours @ the bubble lounge w/ me and t-Lam.....whaddya think?

Admirer: SOFTBALL? c'mon chief, i'm itchin to play! and volleyball too! and i think that we should also reenact our favorite teeny-bop mtv videos....ya dig?

dk sLant: i thoroughly enjoyed the java lingo.....i think a virtual slant would be fun....hell, i would buy one. then i would have someone to watch HOT videos and make kimchee pancakes with here in the city.....and watch pokemon episodes and cha-cha in the living room....

everyone else: it was refreshing to see all y'all this past holiday weekend....made me realize what wonderful friends i have managed to keep for the past 9 years (?)

nast: again, kudos on the A's game....it rocked! we need to do that again soon....dolla dolla wednesdays, anyone???

okay, dudes.....i'm pooped...and it's hotter than a mutherfu*!er....oh! and it's the season finale of real world......

"I feel as if I'm an egg, cuz you crack me up"
Jefecito, line established summer 1998
July 8, 2002 @ 9pm

Check it to wreck it, let's begin....
I must echo the sentiments of the one and only T-Bass (aka. TAFT, aka. Lance Bass' wife) that this weekend was full of great fun and everlasting moments. I don't think I have ever laughed as much in my life as I did this past weekend. It shows how much fun can come out when you throw our crew in a car/van (maybe i meant caravan j/k) and drive a distance. It's nothing but laughs galore. Oh wait, a light bulb just came on, whatever happened to our winnebago idea? Not the one where we go to Noah's and "win a bagel" (now that was dumb) but the winnebago road trip to so cal or vegas.

In keeping up with last night's theme to make up for lost time, I have come up with the following:
I, Jeffrey "Jefe, Heffs, Mos Jefinately, or anything else you want to call me" Galicia Luna, of buff body and small mind (cuz I use steroids) bequeth the following: EDMUND - a pole so you can slide down to your new fire truck or one for strippers like Tiff Lam to use for lap dances; T-BASS - tickets for the NSYNC concert debuting Landon Donovan replacing Chris Kirkpatrick ("Man, I feel like I'm at an NSYNC concert") or a USA soccer jersey sized youth boys SMALL; NICK - a lance blankenship oakland a's jersey to go with your collection...it's a hard one to get; REGAN - pickup lines that actually will help you land a date with t-lam like "if you (tiff) were a corona and i (regan) was a Sprite, I'd chase you all night long no matter how long (and I mean as long as) it'd take"; SNUP - some backstreet boys gear since you have NSYNC gear all down to a science; LAMCHOP - a nice comfortable lap to sit on so you can finally give me that lap dance that you owe me (I'm waiting) or a book of numbers cuz it seems as if you can only count to 2 with your fingers (Peace Out if you know what I mean); DAN - programming for a video game that allows us to "hyper" blog (get lit up) without getting fatigued when typing hella long blogs; SYLVIA - your own role in MTV's "Sorority Life" defending the right to use 4 greek letters in the sorority's name and a chance to once again live in you favorite lovely, small city of Davis; PHIL - a shrinking machine so we can actually shrink your couches to our size and not ones for yao ming or andre the giant; VAL R - a kangaroo, a boomerang, and Foster's beer "outback" of your house so you can go to australia every day; STEPH - a nickname and maybe 2 smirnoff ice's; VMAY - high heeled flip flops for bbq's; MICHELLE - a Hummer so all the other cars running into you get damaged and not yours; DENNIS - two thumbs up; and finally ALAN - a nickname but also the chance to pose with mike dunleavy as the new american eagle posterboys.

Long enough blog, huh? I needed to have a bequeth since i did not have one in high school, so that was it...i hoped you all liked.

Sorority life is on...gotta go see my girlfriend...j/k
Jefe-licious

As you all may know, I am in the thralls of developing the penultimate video gaming experience ever known to mankind, second only to Mario Party 2. The project has taken on considerable expanses of my human resourses and therefore has limited the availability of my existense to all of you. I apologize for the firewalls that this has created but be rest assured that proxy servers are being set in place allowing me to handle the high levels of bandwidth I soon anticipate. To keep everyone updated on Project Xian (pronounced King Dan) read on. If you wish to skip the introduction on future logins, enter Up, Up, Down, Down, Right, Left, Right, Left, A, A, B, B.

As research for my up-coming video game I have been doing the following....
Playing countless hours of Dungens and Dragons and living off Cheetos (the red-hot firey ones) and Tang (orange flavor). This will enable me to duplicate the user interface encountered while experiencing my game. I have concluded that with this diet, human existense can be sustained for 79 days, which is just enough time to be defeated in the final level of my game. Be rest assured, no one can defeat my game.

My goals within the next three months.......

Goal I: Digitize myself, duplicate that program onto CD-Rs, hand it out to all of you. That way I can limit the amount of actual social contact by means of providing to all of you a "Virtual Dan". Virtual Dan can do everything I can do, including, but not limited to: being Korean, creating DANce fever, instant messaging, hair dying, etc. Virtual Dan, like the me, the real Dan, also has it's limitations. These include, but are not limited to: being Korean, daylight, social interactivity, height.

Goal II: Develop a shrinking machine for Ed and his fire truck. This goal is half complete as I have already tested the machine on myself. Obviously it works, but I have yet to develop the mechanism to return me to normal size.

Goal III: Create a video game that replicates actual sunlight because it has been sometime since I've been out from my cave and seen the real thing. Also my digi-plants need sun.

Goal IV, The Final Fantasy: Take over the world. This has proven more difficult than initially predicted.

As you can see, my plans are quite ambitious and therefore will take considerable megs of time. This eliminates all superfulous dialogue for the next 3 months. Please excuse me from further transcriptions of these infantile "Blogs". I will C(++) you later as I'm now going to make myself a cup of Java(script). Ha. Ha.

Go Koreans,
Dan Pak
Pass the condommmmmments please.........

I now have the fire truck I've always dreamed about and a helmut to go with it. Now all I need is that machine from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" so that I can be zapped into an itsy bitsy tiny person. That way I can take the driver's seat......until then, Tiff will have to be the designated driver.

If a genie appeared and granted me three wishes......
1. a firetruck....check
2. a foosball table.......check
3. Heidi Klum.......ohhhh, or a Specialty #7 sandwich from Genova

To my surprise I didn't get my ass kicked at the A's game. Next time I'll have to try doubly hard.....maybe if I wore a Yankee's Giambi jersey and used a fungo bat to hit every A's fan in the crotch. That should do the trick. Anyways, it was fun watching a minor league game again.

If you ever come across a word you don't understand, remember it's best to break it down into it's parts to get the full meaning. For example, rediculous (adj.). Let's begin. Re- well, that's a tough one, but it could be short for Reeg or Regan. Dic - as in the male reproductive organ. U - the pluralality of the noun and the people reading this. Lous - ryhmes with hilarious. So taking all that into consideration, it's obvious that rediculous means.....

SOUTH POLE.

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. Lunch's over, back to sleep

Thanks to everyone. Yesterday was fun.
ECP

p.s.- I hope Dan posts soon.

1:23 AM
South San Francisco

It's weekends like these that make me glad I emerge out of my Davis bubble every now and then and come home. Thank god we have these fun little get togethers. I haven't had this much fun on consecutive days in a long time, thanks guys!

A 4th of July BBQ and housewarming (thank you to Phil for hosting, you did a wonderful job), an exciting A's game and incredible fireworks show (thank you Nick for organizing the troops), my cousin's wedding, and to finish it off an MLS soccer game and surprise bday cake for Ed (happy birthday again, o tall one). At this time, I would like to share with you all the top lessons I've learned from this past weekend.

10 Things I learned During my 4-Day Weekend
by Taft

1- Watching a fireworks show is a great way to feel like a kid again.
2- On camera, Phil looks eerily like the devil.
3- Any mention of the North Pole will forever make me chuckle.
4- Regan really can spit some game, can't he tiff lam.
5- Wrestling figures come alive when you leave the room.
6- X-Box FIFA World Cup players can get tired from sprinting the length of the field too
7- Never, ever play a game and bet that the loser gives Jeff a lap dance. You're guaranteed to lose.
8- 3 glasses of wine plus a glass of champagne at a wedding makes for a tipsy taft.
9- $19 is definitely worth seeing Landon Donovan in person, scoring a goal, and yes, taking off his shirt.
10- It pays to be a pack-rat sometimes, especially when you save your senior edition of the SI newspaper and everyone ends up reading their bequeaths and baby pic captions and realize they should have kept theirs too.

Thanks for the fun times this weekend folks.

~Taft
p.s. I'll get back to you all about birthday plans, whatever it is I decide to do. Please submit any requests or ideas into the suggestion box.

hi all
once again reeg, you stepped up to the plate. since i always blog in the morning, i always have to follow up on your blogs...not so good on the self-esteem.
congrats on getting promoted sylv you deserve it!!! i wish i had long hair...maybe you can donate some to me. short hair is too cumbersome...can never get it out of my face. oh and reeg, lets not metion b. leong again...scary!
anyways, seems like i will be joining you all at the A's game. i hope you don't have a prob w/that ed and fran. i might fall asleep but wake me up for the fireworks...which is the only reason i'm (and everyone else in the stadium) is going.
poor tiff b everyone is giving you such a hard time. i'm not that worried since you're a tough take-no-Bullsh*t-kinda-girl! what is the opposite of that? sorority girls (no offense sylv)!! i have yet to watch the davis sorority special but the concensus is mixed. we have jeff, sylv, and tiff (all davisites) who liked/obsess over it and we have reeg who was disinterested. i'll give you my 2 cents when i finally watch it...no worries, MTV keeps re-runs in high regards so i know i'll be able to watch it soon.
when will this day end? seems like its taking forever! anyways, i gotta go and pretend i'm working but i hope to see everyone soon! oh, does anyone wanna hang out tonite? might head out to the bubble lounge but i'm not sure when. let me know.
TL aka tenderloin aka tiff lam (that was for you ed)
ps. maybe i'm getting old but can we change the font size on this...i get a headache from the little itty bitty tiff size font!
Hello y'all,
Maaan I feel this pressure to write a creative entry because of all these virtual props I receive. I do appreciate receiving the accolades, but each of you, even you Taft (sorry, the Nick/Ed bashing is contagious), deserve credit for providing an entertaining and enjoyable online forum which we all can partake. Equal opportunity fellas! I'd write more often, but I really don't have much to say...I guess why ramblings is an appropriate term. However, this weekend should be special and fun time because (drum roll s'il vous plait)...I'ma visit! So we gonna be like four and connect in the Deep East O! My ETA is 21:00 tomorrow, but most likely I'll see you cats on Thursday and/or Friday. Well the 4th is Phil's housewarming, but since I'ma be there and therefore most of you are, it's gonna be a househotting!! So bring your hoses, because we need to put out the fireworks! But we're like Billy Joel, since we didn't start the fire, we just need to put it out. Sorry about this fire tangent, I just like using the words "hot" and "fire." Mainly because I'm (in an Aaliyah voice) "hot like fire." Geeez I even have a bad singing voice when I type lyrics =).
Peek-a-Bucoy: Good to see you off the milk carton. Congrats on your promotion! You done did the damn thang. Funny you mentioned Stacey Lee, because I saw her on Melrose a month ago with Brandon Leong (LA's famous people need non(in?)famous people to be famous, otherwise they wouldn't be famous, you dig?). But anyways, I want to cut my hair too for real. Change is good. Any suggestions? That Renaldo style is pretty intriguing...
Philthy Phil: Hope you treat your guests well and I hope I get a parking space and I hope I don't get shot. Not sure exactly where you live in the 'Town you know. Don't let work get to you; it sucks but it pays the bills (and w/ mortgage and car, work can be your best friend)
Oldlin: Thanks for the tickets playboy. Its good to see your true and stick with the A's even since the day Mike Gallego retired. One question though: Wouldn't the Oakland Athlete's be more fitting than the Oakland Athletic's??? Maybe that's why Giambi left, because he was an athlete, not an athletic. Or am I trippin again? Then they could compete with Athlete's in Action for the Supreme Athlete.
E see pee (ECP) in my pants: Good to see you back after a brief hiatus. Hope the dirty south treated you well. Is that where you went? Anyways, good you got some basic hyer-text markup protocol down to post the pick. That Berkeley education has gone a long way.
Leg of Lam: What's black and white and red all over? Either a sloppy female zebra on her rag or a newspaper. But I hope that you recover and are not contagious. But I really like that Vanessa Carlton song too! Idea: The Proclaimers should be on the remix and call it 1500 Miles!!! That would be the hottest song ever.
Tiff-amie Ba-silly-Oh no!: I feel ya about losing potential classic blogs and having them lost in the bloggy blog world. That happened to me once at work, but I think it was the working gods to tell me to work. I saw Sorority Life for like 5 minutes, and the producers do a decent job of making Davis look like an actual fun place to be! (j/p all you davisians) But yeah, the girls weren't too hot so it was just another victim of the wave (you know, when you channel surf...waves...changing channels....don't stop get it get it?!?!)
Admirer: I know who you are, thus I left off the Secret. You should write more entries. I'll even let you use my password this time =). Dook sucks.
That's about all he wrote. Oh yeah, my wandering mind likes to think of jokes during the day, so here's the daily dose: In what city do the girls have the nicest boobs?? Answer will follow in the response so I can get a response =). My Mr. Cleo reading has me seeing most of yall this weekend, thus my signature...

doyouphilme wassuppers, dude. how's your car? can i just add to our car mishaps and mention that this sunday i got a flat tire on 280 south???? the most pathetic part about it: we were only going to get HALO-HALO from ongpin....and when we finally got there, they were SOLD OUT! sadder......anyways, i'm itching to go to vegas...wanna go? how about reno? or even lucky chances (kidding)....i need a vacation!!! your party is gonna be so much fun!!!

anyways, so my apologies for my negligence with the blog....i just got promoted @ my fashion internship, so now i am the PR assistant for a fashion PR company and fashion editorial assistant for 2 magazines (*yikes!) well, at least now my time is paid. but now, i work 6 days a week....2 at my assistant job, and 4 @ kate spade....and occasionally, my free day is spent @ photoshoots for the magazines.....so needless to say, my ass is beat.....but i HAVE been keeping up w/ the blogs, and i HAVE been keeping up w/ word cup....brazil kicked ass!!!! but i have to differ with ECP...i think that reinaldo's wacky haircut was some sort of voodoo soccer thing...and it worked!

random thoughts:
* my hair is too damn long....i'm beginning to feel like a friggin hippie. i got freaked out the other morning b/c i looked in the mirror and realized it was practically stacey lee length...AUGGH!! so the next day, i booked an appointment to get it cut......

* i saw aidan from "sex in the city" and dawson from "dawson's creek" in the past 2 weeks......funny!

* i miss bowling....can we go bowling sometime??? astro bowling would be even better!

* we should go to malibu sometime....or even dave n' busters.....it would be a blast to go with a million people.....

anyways, i'm signing off for now....

peace out.....

I wonder who this could be?

Random thoughts for the day:
1. With the world cup just ending, i can't get over how loud the spanish announcer yells "GOAL!" and how long he does it for. I think he fakes it.
2. For all of you who stayed up or woke up early to watch the world cup games, just a reminder: you have four years to catch up on your sleep til the next world cup. Savor those years you insomniacs!
3. Considering i fall asleep during every movie i see (including minority report two weeks ago), do you guys think I should watch the movie insomnia?
4. Sorority Life on MTV already deserves an EMMY...tv does not get any better than this show...I watched it four times from its premiere last Monday to this past sunday. How can one go wrong with following a sorority around. Did i mention it's based in davis...enough said.
5. Low cut jeans can be extremely sexy on girls, but not when their BUTT CRACK is showing when they sit down. Just imagine sitting through dinner with a girls crack showing. It's an open invitation to throw food and see if you can make it in the crack. One request: thong please.

Random purchase over the weekend: 5 old school wwf wrestling videos for $20.
"Snap" that has been recently implanted in my mind: "You're like a door knob...everyone gets a turn."

Climbing on my charts:
Snack: peanuts and pistachios
Juice: cranberry juice
Song: Mario's "Just a friend 2002"
Best movie line ever: "How'd he do that?" said by Allen Iverson in the new lil' bow wow movie "Like Mike."
