my brother is a terrorist/work/band/asians/the woman

wow it's been a long time.

--my brother is a terrorist

so one of my brothers* got an iphone the other day and was bothering me on how to use it and take and send pictures. i was busy at the time and wanted him to go away so just i told him that the best way to send pictures is not through text messaging but through email attachment, since he has an iphone.

later that day lo and behold i get an email from my brother on my iphone entitled "test"... what could it be? probably a picture of the dog or something. to my horror i opened it and found a picture of his feces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway since then every so often i get a feces picture cleverly hidden by a very benign subject... aka "happy monday" or anything else. once i actually opened it at work and felt hella embarrassed, hopefully no one saw. i never feel safe anymore. i live in fear. my email has been terrorized. i have no haven during my lunch break at work. sometimes i wake up in a cold sweat.

--work

oakland's been good to me. i think the best part is the people. my coworkers are great, fun loving, and for the most part pretty helpful. my management is awesome. they're the type that you really feel like they have your back. they really inspire me to want to be a better worker to uphold the department.

--the band

our band is down to 3... we have some good stuff coming... i personally haven't really had a lot of time to record though since i have no laptop anymore. i'm actually writing this xanga on my mom's computer. haha.

--asians

which brings me to why i haven't done purchased a laptop. just as a young woman in her 20s has a fear of walking down a dark alley, i think all asians have this innate fear of buying stuff... for fear of being taken advantage of... by a corporation. that's why cyrus and all my other asian friends do woot, spoofee, slickdeals... out of fear. if you buy something at retail price, you have just been stripped naked and beaten by Apple. or Bestbuy. or Capitol Records. anyway i need to just make a decision and buy a laptop. i'm leaning towards a mac.

--the woman

we're doing good! i always joke around at work about how i'm single while i'm on the clock. but inside i'm wondering what i could make for our 9 month anniversary dinner. I KNOW IM LAME.

new song

i told myself that i'd post irene's valentine's day song as a silly one in order to inspire me to write real stuff.

well 5 months later i'm done! with new stuff!... well. not really stuff. just one song. 1. uno. einz. yut. ee. hana. song.

really it's not much of a song. i think it's just an instrumental in disguise because there are only like 5 lines. can you believe it. that's enough for like 1/4 of a normal song, or 1/100th of a jason mraz song. (that guy is so wordy!!!)  i could recite the whole thing in a sneeze.

draw me in with your eyes
draw me in with your lies
i cry out to anyone
are you a savior
or a voice inside my head?
i cry out to anyone

the poison comes
the poisoner you've become

mmmmmmmmm

- the poisoner

it's about getting yourself stuck and having nobody to save you**.

"hannah" is a landmark for me because the instrumental is so catchy.

i think this one is another landmark because the last part is so epic. it is the most epic instrumental i've ever done. i have to say it's very phonofield-ish. it's crazy what you can do with just a guitar and your voice and some software and your brain. i think there are over 24 tracks in this song.

** DISCLAIMER: IRENE IS NOT THE POISONER!!!! it's just an idea!!! lol. just to clarify.

on hold

thanks to 4-10s, i have the next three days off in a row. oh baby. time to do some good ol nothing.

i realized today how disconnected i am with everything. i like my job, don't get me wrong; i just think inpatient pharmacy work really clouds your mind with random crap. i really had a dream the other day that we needed to compound more diltiazem oral solution because we kept running out.

like i don't even know what's in fashion anymore. the last article of clothing i got was like in may.

or how my random old friends are doing, you know, the ones you only meet up with on some quarterly or biannual basis (based on the fiscal year)

or what's on the news. last i heard didn't michael jackson die?

or what movies are playing.

or even what day it is.

or when my traffic tickets are due.

i feel like everything's on hold till i get days off. then on my days off i sleep or do something really mindless.

I WANT TO LIVE

everything you hold onto

you will lose.

the other day during lunch my mom asked me to close my fingers together to form a flat surface. she noticed that there were holes between my fingers.

ha! chinese people say that the more holes you have in your hands the more money will slip through in your lifetime.

she proudly showed me hers with no holes.

i think it's true. i'll go and buy a walmart can of corn for 0.79 because del monte will charge me 0.99. i'll cut my own hair for FREE rather than pay 12 bucks every other month to get it cut. the cheapest cell phone plan starts at 39.99/month... i'll take that one. i'll dump my savings into an ING account to get an extra 1.4% back interest yearly. woohoo.

then i'll go over on my minutes one month and they'll charge me an extra 60 bucks. a spark plug on my motorcycle will blow up on the freeway which costs me 5 bucks to replace but 100 for labor. i'll get not one but two damn traffic tickets on the same day resulting in two hefty >$300 tickets and some hundreds of dollars extra on my insurance because of the point on my record.

oh the illusion of saving money!

i haven't even thought of this song for like years. it's such a great song though.

also still waiting for bazan's new cd. just listening to some clips and reading the new lyrics makes me go crazy.
