Dance like no one can see Love like you've never been hurt Live like it's heaven on earth 
 Let's set it straight - Is the country Laos or Lao?Here's the answer This week... Things that make me happy
Movies I've seen this month
What they're saying about me
"She's a nut! Not too sure how else to describe an "at-first-glance" seemingly quiet girl who dances like a chicken when she thinks no one else is looking, who likes to pass off her "made up" answer for fact, until you look at her and see her hopelessly trying not to crack a smile, who WITHOUT FAIL remembers to put a line of dental floss in her purse before she goes out (and isn't afraid to use it after dinner, thankfully NOT at the table!!). I can always count on her to know the hottest hollywood gossip, and to dance till all hours of the morning with me." "My co-worker just told me that there was a premiere for Bridget Jones 2 last night, just blocks from my work, and we missed it! Hugh Grant, my beloved and the framework upon which my future husband is based, was just blocks away, breathing the same oxygen, and I missed it! If I had a friend here who was as savvy with E-news as you are, this catastrophe would never have occurred!" Guess what I heard... Oh my god!! This donut is so good! - Ras about a Krispy Kreme donut "I want to do! But what is paintball? There is no such word in dictionary." - Suwa, Japanese teacher "I am now skipping church to see if I am going to win my bids!!!" "YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.....I won the felt tip pens!!!!!!!! Yippeee...."who let the dogs out...arf, arf, arf, arf"...."let me hear you say Y..M..C..A"....oh yah, who's your daddy!!!" - Renee Other favorite quotes:
A gift is an offering. A selfless act that adds something to someone's life. Something that they need. Have you ever walked by something and you just had this feeling that someone you knew would absolutely love it? Faith is believing when there is no rational reason to believe. Homer: "We Americans are England's children... I know we don't call as much as we should, or aren't as well behaved as our goody two shoes brother, Canada... who I should mention has never had a girlfriend... I'm just sayin'..." Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love should not be one of them. The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. When your heart speaks, take good notes. Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Sometimes to see the light, you have to risk the dark. |
Been busy
2/25/2004
I realized it's been such a long time since I've written anything. I've been really busy with helping at The Warehouse, and really didn't have any free time. For the last couple of weeks before the opening, I was at the bar almost every night, until 2:00 or 3:00 am. Mostly, I was helping with designing different aspects of the bar, painting, and just general cleaning up. Opening night on February 20th turned out really well. From 8-10pm, the place was full. Michael had come in earlier in the night with some of his students. After awhile, the students noticed that people were trying to come in, but had to leave because there were not seats available. In response, the students left, so that other people could come in! Isn't that nice? Go back home, and you woudn't see anyone leave a bar or club, so that other people could enjoy the place too. Last week's opening was mainly a small opening for friends and friends of friends. There was absolutely no advertising, and on opening night, there wasn't even a sign up. This week has been a test period - organizing the menu and the logistics of running a bar. This Friday will be the public opening. There's supposed to be a banner outside, and "Grand Opening" plants that friends and associates send to wish good luck. I'd like to see how it goes, but I'll be in Seoul on Friday night for Club Night. My school's taking a day off on Friday, so I'll end up having a four day weekend. I'll head up to Seoul Friday morning and spend the day doing some touristy things. I like the idea of having a free day, while everyone else will be going about their day, busy with work or school. It'll feel like playing hookie, and wherever I go won't be as busy as it would be on a weekend. Yesterday, I saw Cold Mountain. I didn't know too much about it, other than who was starring in it, and that it's up for Best Picture of the Year. I've also seen Lost in Translation, and thought Cold Mountian was a better film. Cold Mountain was slow at points, but I felt the story was more interesting and I got more out of it than Lost in Translation. I've always thought Nicole Kidman was a pretty woman, but in some scenes, she was really beautiful in a simple looking way. I could see where some think she's a striking beauty. Her skin seems to be made of flawless porcelin. Today and yesterday were such blustery days. The wind was blowing everything around! I could hardly even scoot around, and the dust was torture to my contacts. Yellow dust is just around the corner.
