Dressed in Black

haven't written in a week. bittersweet days. Judy came on Wednesday morning. she just spent time at home while i was at work. we went shopping for some stuff she needed and had barney's hamburgers and curly fries. yum. she bought these sexy silver shoes and a cute black dress. on thursday i took a half day off (which i totally paid for on friday) and watched step up. such a fun dance movie. because of the movie we were totally pumped up to go to Circle Bar.

so that whole day my car was shaking. i remember it happened before and i remembered it was because something was unplugged or loose or something. we were a little concerned as we decided to drive all the way to Hollywood to get a Benito's burrito. we almost drove to my Hi Point location so i could look for the chilli relleno's that cyrus had the week before. but because of traffic we decided against it. but the car was definitely shaking. also, i badly needed an oil change. so as we were driving back on thursday (with out burritos), we were looking EVERYWHERE for an oil change place. nowhere. none. i almost gave up when right NEXT DOOR to my apt is a shell station that had a mechanic, smog check, and an oil change place. awesome. so we dropped my car off and walked back to my apt and ate our super delicious burritos. i ate the entire thing and i think i gained 28 pounds because of it. it was awesome. so we watched step up and then walked back to get my car. still shaking. oil change didn't help.

so like i said, because of step up we decided we were going to circle bar to shake our booties. i tried my hand at being a mechanic on the way there (the gas station guy thought we were nuts since we were in clubbing outfits but totally greasy from being under the hood). nothing worked. i found something that was a little loose, but it didn't work at all. i decided the shaking wouldn't hurt the car so we drove to Santa Monica to go dancing.

dancing was fun (as usual). JD, Yemen, and this girl Ja we met a few weeks earlier came as well. as usual i pulled out some 80s moves during the 80s songs. it was fun. made some Japanese friends. Toki and Toni or something like that. they were cute and fun.

i dropped my car off the next morning to get it fixed and found out it was a loose spark plug causing a misfire in the 2nd cylinder. $140. ugh. but now it doesn't shake.

friday night we went to Asia de Cuba for a business dinner with some Italian docs. i didn't know what to talk about with them so i played the "teach me Italian" card. worked like a charm. one of the St Jude marketing guys from Italy kept telling me he wants me to visit him in Italy. sooo funny. here's the email he wrote:

I want organize your holiday in Italy in August,it's possible you'll arrive in Italy august 11 and you 'll depart august 20
We 'll go in fantastic place ,eat
delicious food and drink fine wine
Ciao
Gio

His name is Giochinno Iannola. hilarious. but the food was phenomenal. awesome. fantastic. and expensive. we went to sky bar afterwards. neither judy nor i were impressed. it was just a bunch of rather unattractive people dressing like skanks.

saturday i dropped her off. sooooo sad. so bummed. so burned out. no vacation for me though. i went to the Lemus' and just hung out. on the way there i talked to Deeps for a few hours. too much drama with boys. but whatevers. oh - he took 3 kids to nationals. one of them got bronze (red belt) and the other got gold (red belt). pretty cool. the kid got bronze because he back kicked the other kid in the face and the other kid got knocked out. because of their age, they took a full point off. crazy!!!! but he's going to be awesome next year. they're going to do well as black belts. can't wait.

yesterday i watched apocolypto. loved it. intense movie. it was good.

so that was my weekend. been a little down lately. i think things aren't in my control and i want other things to go a little differently. but life isn't that easy. HY's bro wants to have lunch with me. i don't want to discuss anything yet. i'm not ready. perhaps i just need to find someone else and just let go. but like i said, life's not that easy.
