Halloween
What did I do for Halloween?
Well, I retired my moose costume because I’d worn it a lot already and it’s freaking hot. I wanted to be something else but hadn’t really prepared so I ended up just being a mechanic because I have that flight suit from the surplus store I bought like years ago. It was convenient except for the fact that I had the hardest time ever just locating it; so, not very convenient except in the sense of not having to shop for another costume. I’m still trying to figure out what my next purchase should be in general.
Anyway, we went to the Rhythm Natives show at Out of Asia presented by FilAmNation.com and hosted by Red Oyster. Let me tell you the one thing you need to know.
Those people, the promoter and the director of the program suck. And while 'suck' is a general term that probably doesn’t encompass all the bad things I want to say about them, it’s succinct and applicable.
So, the Rhythm Natives were initially supposed to perform at 10:30pm but that got moved to 12:30am. But luckily, we found that out thanks to Twitter; so we don't get there too early. 1:30am rolls around and they still haven’t performed but finally, they start to prep. They’re pretty much set when the program director takes the mic from one of the emcees and says, “You’re not going on right now.” How f'd up is that? I mean by 1:30am, the place is pretty empty. I mean, it wasn’t full to start with, like really wasn’t full - with a $20 cover charge, I can see why not. There really wasn’t anything worthwhile there. The music was mediocre. The people they had before were pretty bad: there was this one ’rapper’ and his starting line was something like ’we’re going to set things loose like Jamba Juice’. While that may not be verbatim, he did in fact rhyme something with Jamba Juice. :( That’s just fail.
I was pretty damn hyped to see Rhythm Natives, too because they have a new set they’re doing and crap, I heard it’s the shit. I was so annoyed that they didn't perform. How very unprofessional of them. Halloween Fail.
We did eat at Chano's though. And Chanos is usually pretty awesome. :)

USH - Halloween Horror Nights
So, Thursday the 29th October, we went to Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights. It was pretty fun. I’m apparently a screamer… ha. We had to go late since I was in class pretty late because we were making some potato crap that took forever. I’m apparently not very good at this cooking thing, which isn’t really surprising. I’ve never actually cooked anything in my life. So, this is better than nothing, right? Anyway, so my group was kinda slow since we were the last ones to finish. :( I wash so many dishes though that it’s like I’ll get better at washing dishes sooner than I will cooking. Not cool.
Anyway, HHN. It was fun. I was scared. I screamed a lot because I was either the one they put in front or in the back, and when you’re going through a maze or something, you do not want to be in those positions. Even though you know someone’s there, it’s the loud sound that usually gets me, and apparently, I’m very unobservant because half the time, I don’t even know they’re there. :( But dude, I love USH for their musicals. I, hands down, love their shows. They had Rocky Horror Picture Show: A Tribute and Bill and Ted’s Halloween Adventure.
I <3 Rocky Horror Picture show. Anytime to scream slut and asshole at the top of my lungs at a movie screen is simply too great. And what’s funny is that my mom went with us. Yeah, so I was just screaming obscenities in front of her (and literally at the top of my lungs). And I bought the hat and the party noise maker and the freaking awesome cow bell. Too. Great. And the singers were freaking awesome. That’s what so great about USH, they hire really talented people.
In the Bill and Ted’s Halloween Adventure, they had really great dancers. And I thought it was hilarious. I kind of wanted to watch it twice, but there wasn’t really any time and we were all pretty tired. Anyway, for this show, they did it in relation to Pop Culture and they made fun of like everyone. My favorites: them making fun of Twilight, red shirt reference in Star Trek, Wrath of Khan reference (also Star Trek), the Terminator Christian Bale outburst (because shit, that was hilarious), and the dancing. Dude. The dancing was incredible especially since they were doing really popular songs and there were surprisingly a lot of dancers (and it‘s always impressive when there‘s more people dancing the same thing). I mean, they had the STXI characters doing the Beyonce dance (uh, Single Ladies) and that’s simply priceless. Priceless.
So yeah. All around good feelings about HHN. The shows were the main reason I wanted to go. Remember, I’m a scaredy cat. But it was fun to scream bloody murder when something jumped out at me.
Be sure to watch it all. It's so great.

Been a while
But I've been busy and I keep forgetting, which are pretty lame reasons admittedly, but still. What else can I say?
Been doing a lot, summary before I go into real detail: school, joined NaNoWriMo (again), tutoring, watched This is It, went to Disneyland and uh, got drunk at Disneyland (am major weak sauce when it comes to drinking).
And I think that's it. :) I'll write more (hopefully) tomorrow and with pictures (hopefully).

Library
I went to the public library today because I had some time between classes. It's a really weird cross section of people that goes to the library, like really weird (I don't even know how to explain it; maybe it's just the one I went to).
The first thing I do whenever I enter a place that I'm going to probably spend an hour at just studying, I walk around the area. You know, do a perimeter search to figure out the best place to sit down and not be disturbed, or at least find a spot that doesn't feel like it's too out in the open. I'm apparently a little paranoid about sitting in the middle of an open area (where most of the tables actually were).
Anyway, I was pretty constrained about where I could sit because I needed an electrical outlet because I wanted to use my laptop. I also kind of don't like sitting next to other people, so while I did manage to find a spot, I didn't realize until I was totally set up that the guy on the other side of my table had taken off his shoes. Great. Just perfect. Smelling the guy's feet. Good times.
So sucky is what that was. Man. That was a major note to self. Don't just check cleanness of table and electrical outlet. Check homies on the other side of the table. :(

Productivity
You know. I'm not very productive on days off. It's kind of annoying even though at the time that I'm just lazing off, I'm pretty much content. How do I spend my time?
ljsecrets.
failblog.
fml and pretty much fanfiction in general. It's always fanfiction. I swear that's my achilles heel. Anyway, I hope you find time to kill too. :) (You know, I lost my train of thought because I started going through failblog again).
