Californiaaaaaaa was awesome. LA was cool, Modesto was too hot and San fran was chill. Candy and I had our great adventures and a not so great adventure as well. Well, for starters we had great Mexican food (and El Salvadorean food), vegan chicken and steak kabobs, beef noodles, japanese, in n out (twice for good measure), fantastic Thai, Ghiradelli's square sundae, Fisherman's Wharf clam chowder, and LOTS of good chinese food. mmm, it's delicious just thinking about it.
We also made many drink concoctions including Melonballs spanish style (Midori, vodka, pineapple juice and a splash of malibu) which were fantastically colorful and one of my new favorites, the Southside (Vodka, lime juice, mint leaves blended and added to club soda) which is terribly refreshing. Martini's are also a new favorite (stirred with a lime twist, not shaken because I'm not a pussy like James Bond).
We tried going to Yosemite Nat'l park as well. Notice I said "tried." So after we get there (2 hours away from where we were staying in Merced) the car breaks down right away. We are going towards our destination when our AC breaks but it was cool up in the mountains so we didn't think much of it. Then the car starts smoking. I open up the hood and coolant is everywhere. We call AAA and Candy pretends she's her mother, the person the AAA plan is under. They finally tow us to a shop in Oakhurst (random ass small town in Cali) but it's too late to order a new radiator (ours got a hole torn in it) so we have to stay overnight in some motel. Well, we call one of Candy's housemates and she actually picks us up! We treat her to dinner and Candy takes a bus then a cab back the next day to pick up the car. ugh, soooo not fun.
I saw Transformers 2. It was not good. A lot of stuff didn't make sense and yes, those two robots are racist. And annoying. My biggest complaints involve the Matrix or Leadership, why sam goes to robot heaven (wtf?), why the primes didn't kill the Fallen when Optimus seemed to be able to do it so easily, and why the back of the Smithsonian Air and Space museum in DC looks like an Arizona desert (did anyone else catch that?). Big robots were fun though but there wasn't enough robot action and too much humans running around.
But now I'm back in Kentucky with a month left to go until school starts again.

I've got a perfect body, cuz my eyelashes catch my sweat
T-minus 6 days until California adventures. I simply cannot wait. LA, San Fran, Modesto, Merced... Candy! It's going to be so great. And, to sweeten the trip, there's going to be a surprising awaiting our unsuspecting duo. What new adventures could arise for them? Stay tuned folks.
The Mentalist is a phenomenal show. It has pretty much everything I like about a show: psychology related, funny, arrogant lead male who's also always right, crime-oriented, and Asian actors. It's about this guy who used to be a sell-out psychic (obviously not a real psychic because no such thing exists) who now is helping the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation) solve murders because of something that happened to him. You'll find out what that something is by the middle of the first episode.
I finally started my job. I work at these group homes where 4 or 5 people who have a history of mental illness live. It's a pretty easy job because these people can mostly function by themselves and I really just there to help out and supervise things. Also it'll look great for a resume and be good experience for the future (read: grad school). Also, monies is important.
I also got hired by Kaplan but training probably won't start anytime soon so hopefully I can teach over at the Ithaca Kaplan and make some spare cash during the school year (always helpful) since I want to be working there and Louie's (which will be fun and exciting). I feel like now that Andrew is gone Ron will need a lot of shifts covered by cooks.
Lastly, I would like to say that is truly a shame Michael Jackson had to pass away so early. His name wasn't cleared in the American public yet (even though it really should have been) and I do not believe he had gotten the proper psychological treatment yet. Mostly, I just would've liked to have seen a comeback. I believe most people would have liked to have seen that happen. Alas, may you rest in peace Michael and that way, forever stay a child.
