- a room with a view -

Went to Christopher's place after his 100-day-old son, Harrison Grace Chong, was baptized. He's already got the two things that would complete my life: a penthouse and a plasma TV.

- shit is on -

Yolande got me on the VIP guest list at Sonar -- I just love walking up to the bouncer and saying, "hi, I'm on the list?" and walking past the huge line of people. Thanks Yolande! It's such a cool club, and I love how nobody smokes at clubs in Vancouver. The music could've been better though.

- you know she likes big fellas -

Went to see Spacious Couch at The Cellar with Grace. I want to play the sax again.

- sex, drugs, rock & roll -

a.k.a. my typical getaway to Vancouver. Well, 2 out of 3 is close enough.

Christian told me a couple of really funny jokes:

A rabbit and a bear are taking a dump in the forest. The bear goes to the rabbit, "so, do you have problems with shit sticking to your fur?" The rabbit answers "no." So the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit.
Question: How do squirrels keep their nuts dry?
Answer: They swim on their backs.

Can The Practice stop using the "evidence and confession suppressed due to a bogus search without a probable cause" plot twist? I mean, how often does that happen, really?

- i hate myself and i want to die -

I'm reading Kurt Cobain's Journals right now. How appropriate.

- two turntables and a microphone -

Last night's Cut Chemist show rocked -- it was totally worth waiting in the blistering cold for 2 hours for the free ticket. It's amazing how such a goofy-looking guy (though, he was sporting an uncharacteristically clean-cut hairdo last night) with stubby fingers can put on such an amazing show!

- abergrumpy & bitch -

Jeremy invited me to a rather swanky Democratic Party soirée last night at the Rainier Club, and some guy (white and middle-aged, of course) mistook me for a coat-check boy just because 1) I'm Asian and 2) I was wearing a black suit. What the fuck?

- burning question -

So, what exactly is the difference between a cargo skirt and a utilikilt?

I'm too tired to write anything coherent right now, so here are some more random thoughts:

I just found out that Lucas Macfadden, a.k.a. Cut Chemist, a.k.a. my new hero, will be in town next Tuesday for a solo show. Dude, I'm *so* there! Good thing I decided not to attend the Tori Amos show, which is taking place on the same night.
Would you date someone who is HIV positive? I don't think I ever would/could/should. Is that wrong?
I started a more intense ab workout, supposedly used by the likes of Usher and Janet Jackson. I think giving up ice cream would be far more helpful in my quest for a 6-pack, however.
2002 hasn't been a very good year for movies. According to my movie diary, I've seen over 200 movies this year (about 150 since the 2nd Annual Great Pine Awards), and there isn't a single movie that truly stands out. Granted, not all of them have been "new" movies, but this is rather depressing. 2000 had Yi Yi, In the Mood for Love and Requiem for a Dream; 2001 had Memento. 2002 has nothing so far.
If you haven't already, go check out the Mexican Modernism exhibition at the SAM. Hannah and I spent 4 hours there last Saturday, and enjoyed every minute of it. Apparently, Frida Kahlo did 66 self-portraits. That's a bit egotistically, don't you think?

I want to *be* Cut Chemist. Buy me this and I'll be your friend forever.
