hmmm.

kinda screws with pursuing other jobs, amirite?

like, i could keep applying for stuff, but…starting and quitting is not my thing.

(what transpired at this most recent job….start in Nov., quit by February….is pretty different from my entire 9 years of work history. and i’m STILL glad i quit.)

le sigh.

i’m bored.

i just emailed the admissions office. i deferred my acceptance about 2 weeks before i was set to move there back in august 2001. (i still wonder if Sarah Kim, my would-be roommate, was able to get a new roomie or if she had a cool solo room for that first semester. hmm.)

just checking to see if they’d let me back in.

i have a feeling they’ll be all “yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh brooooooo” and laugh in my face, but…it’s worth a try.

also…my tummy hurts.

Gorillaz are pretty much my favorite.

it bugs me that they would cast a Brit and an Aussie with major regional accents to play prototypical Americans.

if you’ve followed my blog for awhile, you might recall that I have this theory that Kelly Osbourne is copying my hair every single time i change it. if you are a newer follower, well……I’m not delusional, I swear.

SURE ENOUGH….she had lavender hair at the Oscars.

I had lavender for the weekend.

what a cunt.

i don't know if there were enough token Asian wives at the show though...

I finally watched this last night.

i just could NOT get past it being Drew Barrymore in a bunch of prosthetic makeup. it was still so much Drew, not enough Edie.

it was, however, successfully depressing.

luckily, my mom can’t wait for me to be outta the house.

"it was truly a testament to the fact that people just don't want that asshole to win."

My dad said that re: James Cameron.

Totes TRUE.

You might be a visionary and breaking new ground in filmmaking or whatevs…

But people just don’t want you to succeed if you’re a raging asshole to everyone.

as an avid medicinal greens supporter and smoker, i try to stay up to date with the current state of Prop. 215 legal stuff. I read in the LA Times EVERY SINGLE DAY about the closures of dispensaries despite seeing new places pop up left and right. I’ve had a recommendation (renewed annually) for 4 or 5 years.

Today took me totally by surprise.

1) I haven’t gone to my friend Sevan’s co-op in Studio City in over a month, so I decided to head there today.

CLOSED.

2) I then head to a newer place in Eagle Rock. Last time I went they hit me up to sign their petition. Essentially they are anticipating closure as well. And I am SURE they will close…this is the only dispensary I’ve ever been to that is next to a residential neighborhood. That just can’t last.

Anyway, I give them my ID. They ask to see my recommendation again. Come to find out that I can’t go in because my rec was issued by a fraudulent “doctor’ and is completely invalid.

(Sidenote: I’M KICKING MYSELF. Every previous year, I have gone thru MediCann. They are the LEGIT docs but it’s not the cheapest option. This year, being a fucking cheapskate, I went to some place in North Hollywood for $45.

I KNEW BETTER. Gah. Shitty.)

3) I need to get a new recommendation now. There were several people who gave me cards of places to go. It just sucks because I did not factor THIS into my finances.

4) I referred a friend or two to the same place for their rec, so I had to explain to them that they, too, are fucked. Embarrassing…..especially since they had come to me since I seemed to know what the fuck is going on.

I just called the #s on my recommendation. In the next few days, I am going to do everything possible to get my money back and get legal again.

Bullshit.

Pardon the pun

i’ve gotten such mixed reviews from people whose cinematic opinions i actually value, so i look forward to being stoked/pissed about it myself.

so currently

almost every teacher friend i have is about to be pink slipped
my friends at various Cal State and UCs are at protests
I’m applying to schools out of state because there is a greater chance of getting accepted or receiving financial aid
we are hemorrhaging money for a war no one supports
i can’t even fathom affording health insurance
my appeal for unemployment? Denied.

what a state of affairs.
