it's been a while!
It's been quite some time since I last updated! A few weeks actually....
Hope you all had a great holiday season and a happy start to your new year! Sorry I haven't really been around, I've just been preoccupied for the most part. XD
In short, the time I've been away has been occupied with good music, good food, school, videogames, and just...life I suppose.
Christmas has been good to me. I got about $250 in cash, $25 Target gift card, a sweater that I actually would wear, a sweater I don't care for but appreciate the sentiment, Peter & Max the Fables novel, a bow necklace, a knitted bib necklace, and...wait for it...the Urban Decay Hall of Fame makeup kit. *o*!!! If you guys know me, I have been a rabid Urban Decay makeup fan for years and glowed when I first saw the Nude Cowboy lipstick alongside their Skyscraper Mascara and super huge Eyeshadow Primer. (Not to mention the gloss and the 24/7 Glide Eyeliner.)
New Years has been nice too. I had a uber delightful dinner that I may never have again. It was so...lush! *o* A table of 11 came out to cost around $1100!!! I had a lobster bisque, filet mignon, salad, creme brulee, and bites of carpaccio, oysters, escargo, and beet salad. The best part was when the two $150 bottles of wine started being passed around. Caymus vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. *O*!!!! I'm a big wine person, and was so excited to try this absolutely smooth red wine with my food. Alongside a countdown with champagne and good people...I'd say it was a great night!
Other than those festivities, it has been a good few weeks. Gamestop let go of their Holiday Hires and I was kept on board. (To my chagrin or delight? That's still left up in the air...) Finally finished Persona 4 with a Normal ending, but decided to move on to Tales of the Abyss. I also started playing Fallout 3, even though Lost Odyssey is lonely. New Years resolution? FINISH ALL MY VIDEOGAMES GUH.
Got a new phone! A red Samsung Flight! To be honest, it's really kind of ugly, but I love it compared to my old crappy phone. :D I've already got James Jean wallpapers set up, music thrown in, and custom ringtones for all the important people in my life. It's really awesome to have a phone that can do all of this and not cost me an extra $30 a month. XD
New music has entered my life as well. XD I won't really mention what, since I've told myself to stop hyping bands up...but it's clear which songs have been taking over my life from LastFM. Also can't wait for Coachella! I want to go to 3 days, but I have to see who else is willing to pay $300 and camp out with me in Indio. It's...a really really exhausting experience. @_@
I got the a-ok to go out for Spring Break! For the first few days I'll be in Northern California (around the San Fran area?), and then I fly out from San Jose to visit GEORGIAA. Sounds ridiculous to vacation there, but there's going to be a really neat She & Him concert there that I'm absolutely thrilled about! ZOOEY DESCHANEL?! Yessss.
My general resolution for this year is to get stuff done. Basically things like start interning, get more involved with my magazines (Fashion Quarterly and The Scene), finish all my videogames, just...start advancing in my life. Even though my own life isn't exactly stationary, I really want more results with the actions and activities I chose to involve myself with. The important part is to start getting internships, so I have to start heading out to various places in hopes they'll want to pick up a new intern. Mainly San Diego publications or start shadowing other careers.
Classes this quarter are straightforward and full of art stuffs. 20th Century Japanese & Chinese Art, Japanese Art, Structures of Art, and 20th Century French Film. The last one should be really neat, we're starting off by watching Daybreak, which is this 30's kind of classic noir film. I'm liking it so far, although it really seems like one of those classes where you read wayyyy too much into things.
That's all for how my life is so far! :)
