In a heart full of dust lives a creature called "Lust'... It surprises & scares like me///
Song of the Day: Bjork> Isobel
Nothing new to write... We did finally break down and get a new microwave at Fry's... And I got some sweet Oxo bowls from Target... And we got those awesome churros from this cool Mexican guy and his families shop on Northgate Blvd (the best churros in the world!). Yet another uneventful Sunday.
Anyways, I thought I would post some more photos of the house. I need to take some for my Grandma too! Rats. Something to do tomorrow tho.
The dining room/ living room from the back/ side patio door...
The kitchen that is to the right of the dining room (from that same back door)...
The other side of the kitchen and "lounge room" from the hallway...
The fire place (the dining room is to the right-ish)...
The entertainment area of the living room (to the left of the fire place)...
And my crafting/ dressing room/ spare bedroom... Work in progress still.
Ugh. Time for sleep. Goodnite.

If you spend some more time I guarantee you will find she's not me///
Song of the Day: Madonna> She's Not Me
So, instead of seeing "Watchmen" last night, we decided to watch some movies that Paul had downloaded a long time ago and haven't watched (the PS3 has a wifi connection so we can stream movies from Paul's computer in the bedroom to the living room where the PS3 is). One of those movies was called "Death Race"...
We came to this conclusion:
Death Race is a race version of the classic movie Shawshank Redemption
I like the movie. It was decent. I love action movies. And Jason Statham. The end. So unrealistic but entertaining.
Always stealing other peoples ideas.

Kiss me where your eye won't meet me... Meet me where your eye won't flick me///
Song of the day: Franz Ferdinand> No You Girls
Things I love...
Franz Ferdinand. I thank Paul for downloading their new album. It is so catchy and sexy. Goal for next year: Make a pilgrimage to see Coachella in 2010. I would love to go this year (I would pick day one because of Franz and We Are Scientist) and I know I can probably stay with my Aunt and Uncle who live outside of Indio. Ugh. One day. First, a trip to Europe (South of France) then more concert/ festivals.
Anyways, listening to Franz got me to remembering seeing them in concert with Death Cab for Cutie back in 2006 (before I met Paul) and how much fun I had going to a concert alone.

Oh oh then suddenly you know... You're never going home///
Song of the day: Franz Ferdinand> Ulysses
Things I am glad for:
Being able to grow up. It makes me feel good to be able to sell all the old things that remind me of the past. I am glad that I am over those points of my life. I am older, wiser and smarter then I once was.
Speaking of, I used to do this photo comparison a long time ago in my old blog... I am gonna bring it back. I once was cute but I seem to have peaked at age 22... Maybe this is all part of growing older. Ugh.
Amanda: Believe it or not, it was once me.
March '04 - Age: 20
Location: A then boyfriends house playing with his web cam... Stupid boys who play guitar and who are in a band.
March '05 - Age: 21
Location: Parents bedroom looking into a mirror... Stupid post engagement break-up with stupid wanna-be thug rapper types.
March ' 06 - Age: 22
Location: My old car, JellyBean, parked near a park by my old job in Orangevale... Stupid cameras that take awesome pictures.
March '07 - Age: 23
Location: The old apartment in Sacramento... Stupid earrings that I loved so much and now I can't seem to find for the life of me.
March '08 - Age: 24
Location: Downtown Sacramento @ the Old City cemetery... Stupid dreams of being a big shot photographer.
March '09 - Age: 25
Location: The new house in Sacramento... Stupid happiness of being completely on my own (with Paul).
Oh well.

I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life///
Song of the day: Radiohead> Subterranean Homesick Alien
Dyed hair.
Updated photos on the computer.
Cleaned the guestroom/ my craft room.
Put up pot rack in kitchen.
Fixed the front door.
Cleaned.
Tended to the garden.
Sold things on half.com yet again.
Tired.
I am off to bed. I think I will be passed out before I hit the mattress. I leave with a photo... From my trip to the City... Ugh. I want to go back so bad. Many reasons why I want to go back (the people there are so interesting) but the main one is for the museums. Especially the Asian Art Museum, where this photo was taken at.
gnite.

So here we are... Again///
Song of the day: Bloc Party> So Here We Are
I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten. So here we are again.
I made a vow, to carry you home.
I really tried to do what you wanted. It all went wrong again.
I made a vow, to carry you home.
If you fall sick, if you pass out.
I figured it out, I can see again.

Are you coming? Are you going? Are you leaving? Are you staying?///
Song of the day: MIA> Jimmy
The irony... And I only say that because I went there with Paul this morning for a white mocha... It's been too long.
We visited the Blue Light Gallery in Roseville (mainly because its part of my Arth 300 final project for the semester) and saw The Art of Dr. Seuss exhibit. I have seen his work in San Francisco a few years ago with Paul. It was nice to see these wonderful pieces of work again. I love the "Star Belly Friends" but I also loved the "SawFish" sculpture.
