Goodbye 2009, hello 2010. hi text messages.

Text message log

It's starting to annoy me that this one fills up at 200 instead of the other one at like..800. I feel there's less gold everytime.

Maybe I just don't have as many interesting txts anymore, but here they are:

Mary:
They hated it. They ripped it up and peed on it.

Greg:
I'm quotable...that rocks more than a quarry.
Yeah that greg guy is funny.
After finding out he made the last txt msg blog

"Mom":
So drunk right now.
What happens when your sister has access to your mom's phone and your mom has no idea what a txt is...not the first time this has been sent to me from "mom"


Alex:
They know you by Name here. You fuckin lush.
from a winery

Later that day from my friend that works at that same winery
David:
He is a total jerk and I asked him to leave
He is a total drunk. What kind of people r u sending me"
He hit me with the late harvest and pinned me to the ground because I wouldn't serve him.

After I msg'd my other friend to make sure he was joking
Alex: I slammed that spam-eating gook to the ground w a bottle of late harvest sauvignon blanc

Younger Sister:
Whose wine is this in the fridge? I'm about to get CRUNK

Younger Sister:
Yeah. Hood lums are up in the day too.


Alex: (a few days after the "incident" at the windery)
You know I didn't actually insult or assault david, right? We were screwing with you?

and yes...i did know

Scott:
If u were gayer I would've helped u.

Gail:
I think the Dr. was wrong when she said B was "ahead". She just did brain age and her age was 80 =(

Scott:
I convinced everyone in maine to get a gay marriage. Even the straight people.

Sean:
Just heard that idaho consumes more spam than anywhere else. True or not true. Hawaiian?

txt msg log 8/22/09 - 09/13/09

this blog is going to start becoming TFLN. Although, this blog (and the txt blogs) are OLDER than TFLN... they do have some funny ass shit though.


August
Brittany: Btw u can only talk pidgin to me whilst in Hawai'i.
(Britt making her triumphant return to my txt msg blog has managed to dog "pidgin" and use the word "whilst" in the same sentence. Bravo.)

Greg: I wanna ride an ATV. Random desire.

Shane: 379-Zulu-alpha roger agent double0

Brittany: Ur loss hoe.

apparently i'm also great to ask for ideas while drinking:
Brittany: Dude drink more. U have gold in there. I miss u btw.
Brittany: Hmmm better. Chug.
Brittany: Damn girl! THAT'S GOOD!!! now take a shot and tell me more.

Scott: It's a liberal lie! We are the body of christ incarnate!

Greg: Oh well kido been a slice

Melody: Don't forget to call me when you land! And new episode of tool academy!



And after the trip was over i get this gem from

Text message log from Hawai'i!

I'm here and having a blast. Stupid text message thingy is full and I have to erase it now.

August:

Melody:
[picture of drive thru menu]
Faiol: "Picture menus available at window."'''But how do they read it?

Jeff:
Jesus may be for reform. But the Jesus Bus followers are for gigantic signs and reminding us that we are fornicators.


Rhett:
is that what that burning sensation is?

Oliver:
kitten purchased. in car.

Greg:
Fun? Alcohol? Debauchery? Perhaps pineapple? Who knows?
Dost thou cup over runneth?
Has thoust drunk in abundance this evening?
7 shots is my guess.


not too much gold in this batch unfortunately.

It rhymes with "Candice"

The following words are uncommon enough in everyday language that I always think people are saying my name or talking about me:

canvas
canvass
Kansas
campus

Everyday phrase that can sometimes make me look up:

"Can this?"

This has been a public service announcement.

Greg: You sobered up yet?

I think I just saw Elvis. How do I copyright that?

I was looking at the US Copyright Office & found this FAQ:

"How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?"

Copyright law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will protect your photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. File your claim to copyright online by means of the electronic Copyright Office (eCO). Pay the fee online and attach a copy of your photo. Or, go to the Copyright Office website, fill in Form CO, print it, and mail it together with your photo and fee. For more information on registration a copyright, see SL-35. No one can lawfully use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his own photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph, not the subject of the photograph.

Hmm. It's asked enough to be in the FAQ.

To be safe I used a picture from picapp.com. I didn't want to get into copyright problems posting a copyright blog...

To be honest, this is how I motivate myself to exercise

Doc Martens Last Forever.

So I finally treated myself to a nice pair of expensive shoes. Keep in mind, I normally wear $20 Vans Shoes that last me 3 years.

I've always wanted a pair of Doc Martens, I bought a used pair in HS but it ended up fitting so badly that I ditched them (hello, they were someone else's...but they were also only $20...)

I now own a pair of 1460 Greasy Black Doc Martens. they make my feet look big and I've debated sending them back.

I've shown them to 2 of my roommates with great response, so i'm prolly keeping them. Also, it's going to make me wear dresses more..I bought them to wear with dresses =)
So one of the roomies asked "Why Doc Martens?" in a curious way. I think it's definitely a certain look, and it's something that I've found I don't want a fake one..does that make sense? I dno. At least I know I won't have to replace them (hopefully) soon.

And then I ran into this:Ads that were banned because they used dead rock stars

Kinda brilliant, no?

and THEN the homage to these shoes:
Designers redesign the 1460s

The more i look this up the more excited about these i get. ^_^

Punch Out

OH

MY

GOD



One of my favorite video games as a kid...I love marketing techniques like this!!!

If i had the money i'd be buying a wii just for this. I love how they're keeping a lot of the same characters and also the same style...

Although i *highly* doubt mike tyson's going to be in it.

Absolutely love how Doc is saying all the same things "I don't know what that means.."

sunscreen?

It was a beautiful day & I was heading out to play some sloshball with friends in the park. Preparations:

me1: So we're going with the tanktop then?
me2: Yeah.
me3: Yep, sounds like a plan.

me2: Do you think we should put sunscreen on?
me1: Good idea! We've gotten sunburned on the shoulders before, let's apply it there.
me3: Yeah, the shoulders for sure, that's our problem spot.
me1: And we've got that everyday stuff that we use for our face, let's make sure we use that.
me2: Totally logical. Into it.

me3: What about the front?
me1 & me2: Wait, what?
me3: You know, this shirt shows off our clavicle area as well as the top of our chest...maybe we should put some there
me1: Oh, nah. Why? We never get sunburned there...
me2: Nah.
me3: It'll take like TWO sec-
me2: ..........naaaaaaaah.
me1: Dude, we're already late. Let's go.

[At the end of the day]

me3: This sunburn sucks. You guys suck.
me1 & me2: Shut up, we have the same body. We're suffering too.

another saturday night

so tonight i went to a bar in north beach that specializes in beer. during the course of the evening i said something about being able to blog drunk.

well, 3 hours later i'm on here and saying to all of you:
i can blog drunk.

I remember the first time i blogged drunk i was hanging out with a laptop upside down in a hallway.

now it's a lot more confortable sitaution. i should get back to the group.

bye!

Video Flashback: New Found Glory (first major album)

I've had my fair share of long distance relationships. One of the most intense was between 1999-2001. This song was on a CD that I played all the time, and this is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.

I never saw the video for it til recently, and it has Rachel Leigh Cook in it!

You're not here
and I can't stop pretending that you're forever mine.
And I...

I can't dream anymore
Since You Left.

I miss you singing me to sleep (to sleep)
I can't wake anymore
In Your Arms.

I miss you singing me to sleep.

"Cheer up" my friends all say...

This band was one of the ones that influenced my bass style.

And here was the song that made me fall in love with them. I actually watched this video to study the bassist's style (especially how to jump around with a bass on)

Have I waited too long?
Have I found that someone?
Have I waited to long
to see you?

a 'cherry chapstick' wtf.

kat: hey candice....
me: waddup daaaaaaawg
kat: I'm putting on my cherry chapstick
me: ...um
me: if your'e hitting on me
kat: are you Katy Perry for me?
me: ..........
me: *cries*
me: I NEED AN ADULT
kat: just making sure.
me: I NEED AN ADULT
kat: As long as that's still your reaction, we're friends.
kat: This was a test.
kat: I have to know who I can trust now that I'm single Candice.

When the hell did "katy perry" become an adjective? Or is it a verb?
and if i was gonna be tested, i'd prefer it not give me a heart attack. thanks.

emperor's new groove, classic clip

He's going to lead you down the path of righteousness. I'm going to lead you down the path that ROCKS.

Which button does that?

Frame of reference: my friend Matt is not only a great co-worker here but he's also a model. He appeared here today:


So I chatted him up about it.

me: so, tobi.com eh?
Matt: wooo
Matt: word
me: cute
me: you awesome bud
Matt: i'm stoked
me: how do *I* become a male model
Matt: start by becoming a male?
candice: shit!
Matt Maimoni: go go gadget sex change

this is not the same 'nemesis' matt

I actually cooked tonight

I call it the "whatever i had in my fridge" meal.

Ingredients:

"Starch": Quinoa (i just killed my first box, I'm officially a fan of the stuff)
Cook like rice on the stove.

Main Dish:
1. Fresh cut asparagus
2. Frozen beans & carrots
3. Trader Joe's frozen mandarin chicken, minus the sauce.
4. Olive oil
5. Fresh cut garlic
6. Aloha Shoyu
Fry all together in the olive oil, starting with some garlic, then the frozen chicken. When that thaws out a bit put the frozen veggies in. When that starts getting soft toss the asparagus and the rest of the garlic (and more olive oil) in.
Fry until it looks good enough to eat. (you can see i'm a cook)


condiments:
that red spice japanese stuff. hell if i know what it's called.
edit: bernadette so kindly let me know it's called "Shichimi"
nori + sesame seeds
Aloha Shoyu.

It will also be lunch tomorrow.

Oh and I forgot the key component:
2 glasses of my roommate's wine. Not in the meal, just during cooking and consumption. That's the real reason why i'm blogging now.

Music: Mayday Parade

Yet another band I discovered on Pandora. They kept suggesting songs for me & when I walked into Virgin Megastore (which is closing in April..*sadface*)

I saw their CD on sale so i grabbed it.

Just like Boys Like Girls previously (well, nowhere near as bad. Read here), I'm starting to really get attached to these guy's works.

I might be partial to this one just because it mentions "Begging for money to get home..well at least San Francisco"


However, I didn't pick up the album that has the song I really wanted:




Which is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I actually tried to blip.fm both of these songs but they're not linked yet.. =*( disappointed.

Support Non-Human Rights

Viral campaigns interest me.

This new untitled movie (Something about District 9, or D-9) has slowly been releasing propaganda for the last year.

I saw an ad on facebook that said "Keep this site non-human free" and at first I thought it was Star Trek.

after some serious searching i found these:
MNU Spreads Lies
the MNU

This is pretty neat. I haven't been part of a viral campaign from the beginning in a long time. I'm interested to see how this one pans out.

Priorities.

Background: a team moved floors.
Overheard right behind me a few seconds ago:

S: ...and where do I put this paperwork now?
M: Right here.
S: ...and where is the candy now?
M: Right here.

some random drunk post

Here is what the situation is right now:
1. Stomach is full of a burger from Q.
2. Joining the burger is half a half pitcher of sangria (a fourth? Is that like a forty?)
3. Chilling out with the laptop warming my legs.
4. Looking up emo songs on youtube.
5. The weird pictures that people put to emo songs in videos is making me wonder. Wondering what I would be wearing if i was in high school right now. you know what pisses me off just a little bit? the grade school kids that would laugh or be afraid of me in my black lipstick and red hair and vinyl pants and chains and trenchcoats are now the emo kids that feel that the world "doesn't get them" and the need to "cut myself". shut up. just because your mom didn't let you borrow the prius to go to the mall and act like you don't like chain restaurants doesn't give you the right to cut yourself.
6. Hello. how are you?
7. All in all happy. Just a little ranty and self reflecty. Speaking of which, are we really supposed to believe Medusa NEVER saw her reflection? Really? Like noone else thought of that or she didn't accidentally walk by one or a puddle of water or something? really? serious? cmon let's be real.
8. On that topic, what the fuck was Oedipus thinking?! If someone told me my fate was to kill my father and sleep with my mother I sure as HELL would not be killing ANYONE old enough to be my father and i sure as FUCK would not be sleeping with ANYONE who was older than me. AT ALL. Just to be safe.

Okay done. Randomness over. I think.

Cool vision of the future

<a href="http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-GB&playlist=videoByUuids:uuids:a517b260-bb6b-48b9-87ac-8e2743a28ec5&showPlaylist=true&from=shared" target="_new" title="Future Vision Montage">Video: Future Vision Montage</a>

Now the thing that freaks me out about this is that I remember feeling like "how the hell is that even possible" or "No way" or "That SOUNDS cool but itll never be reasonably priced"

Well, remember this?



I had the same feelings about those videos, and they've all come true. My apple iPOd Touch can do most of that.
And that was only like 15 years ago, can you imagine what kinda awesome toys we'll have 10 years from now?


If the robots don't take over before then....

quick sketch 'cause i can't sleep.

Right now it's called "guy lean" but I think I might add some stuff to it later.

Either way, it did it's trick & i'm sleepy now.

This is pretty amazing. And he's cute. And he's got like 4 different geek shirts.

Wondercon: Day 3, "Once More with Feeling"

Ah, all good things have to come to an end. Seriously, this was one of the best weekends I've had in a long long time.

As I had anticipated, today was a more laid back day. Like most people come on Saturday...so it was hella crowded yesterday, and today was kinda that day where you're like "Sure, I'll go pick up that comic book I was debating on getting all weekend."

I brought my comic book that I had at home so that David Mack could sign it. I ended up seeing a piece of his in one of his reflections books & asked him if he had it (If i had that one, I'd have the whole set of Echo Prints ..to my knowledge). And he had ONE left. Awesome.

With the laid-backness I was able to actually go to a panel. Which is awesome 'cause I really wanted to see Chuck! The castmembers were so funny & you could tell they really liked working together.

The day seemed to go by quickly, as I tried to help my friend find a copy of "The Watchmen" graphic novel (kinda impossible unless you wanted a nice rare copy)...

I also got to see the last few minutes of a panel about Harper's Island, which sounds fun. It's a show that lasts 13 episodes, and you know that everyone's going to die. The actors didn't even know when they were filming how long they're going to last. Either way, I got to see Christopher Gorham, who played Jake in Jake 2.0 & Henry in Ugly Betty. Hawt dork.

The night ended with a musical. Buffy the Musical, to be exact. It was awesome, I was in this room with a mix of Buffy Enthusiasts and people who had never seen the episode before. To be fair, I only saw it for the first time last week (in preparation for tonight...yeah, seriously, i prepared for wondercon).

The episode's named "Once More, With Feeling". It's pretty entertaining, I suggest you check it out if you have the means.

Either way, the con ended at 5 =( I actually didn't want it to end! I have to admit, I am pretty flabbergasted by how much fun I actually had. And get this: I didn't drink all weekend.

Seriously. It's like, I can replace alcohol with geekdom. Oh and geek boys. Lots and lots of cute geek boys. Yay.

You know, i should just name this blog "Wondercon and the stuff I do in between Wondercons"

Wondercon: Day 2 aka the day that Darth Maul hugged me.

YES people that's right. If you're a friend of mine you probably have an inkling that I like star wars. If you've ever talked to me about star wars you'd prolly know that my favorite character of all time is Darth Maul (put your knives down, kids).

Let me list out what happened quickly before I forget and digress into full darth love.


















The list.
1. Woke up too late to go to the Watchmen panel. Heard that it was really crowded anyway.

2. Tried to get into the Star Trek Panel, but I did not. It filled up too quickly (this was NOT a problem at the last one...they had it in a smaller room this time for some ungodly reason)

3. Got to meet Ray Park. (Darth Maul, more detail later)

4. Discovered that David Mack was there. He's my favorite comic artist. He does some crazy shit. What happened was last year he was a featured artist & I had no idea he was there. I found him, talked to him, pretty much acted like a fangirl around him and bought 3 of his prints. He then proceeded to give me his entire collection of comics and signed everything for free. This time around, I bought more of his artwork & he's going to sign the other comic i bought at a comic book shop too. As you can tell from the length of this paragraph, I'm pretty nuts about the guy.

5. Found the clown's booth. The one from yesterday. He remembered my name. They're actually not creepy, but their job was to get killed periodically by a ninja in their booth.
Apparently from their sign:
Clowns: 0, Ninjas 15.

6. Went to this workshop on managing your time & organizing your life to create art.
Unfortunately, this workshop was neither organized or managed well and I walked out early and disappointed.

7. Went to the Masquerade. It was much different then I had anticipated. I thought it was going to be a ball..noooo it was more of a "let's watch people who handmade their own costumes act out a small skit". That was a pleasant surprise. I didn't stay to see who won, but there was this badass skit of guys dressed in Cobra suits. Essentially, Snake Eyes came in & started kicking their asses (they referred to him as a "Merchandising Whore"). The main Cobra guy ended up morphing power rangers style (pretty amazing shit) and..well..it was just freaking awesomely funny that it was put on by amateurs.

8. Met my friends at a bar after, but I ended up not drinking. I don't know, I had such a cool day that I ended up getting bored at the bar.

Okay, on to the thing that made me hella giddy.
DARTH MAUL
First of all, if you don't know who I' m talking about, check out this awesome vid:

(this wasn't at wondercon, I probably would have fainted if I saw this)

The guy's a badass, okay? He actually was going to just be the stunt double but then they had him...you know what I'm gonna digress too much. The fact is, I got to meet the guy.

You know how some celebrities, when you meet them you're a little disappointed 'cause they're not as hot or as nice as you would like?

NOT DARTH MAUL. He's fucking hot. And not just that, he has this accent. and not just that, he takes the time and actually talks to each fan for a while. Like he talked to me for a while about things, I told him he was my favorite character, and he told me his was Han Solo (heartstrings..tugged), and further went on to theorize about whether or not he would have chosen his character had he been younger. I actually felt like a dumbass, here I was talking to darth maul and all i could do was laugh & smile. In fact, I think I could have talked for longer with him had i not been so starstruck. like. SRS starstruck. It was amazing.

He even let me take a picture with him. As I was leaving, I asked, Can i have a hug?
AND HE FUCKING STOOD UP AND HUGGED ME.

After that, I also ran into david mack (detailed above).

I turned to my friend Jennifer and said "okay, you know what? I could miss every panel they have after this point and I am Totally fine. That is exactly what I wanted to do."

I am so happy right now. It's insane. I'm surprised you read to all the way down here.

Also: Wired Magazine's Faces of Wondercon 2009

Wondercon: Day 1.

So! Update. I found someone who is just as gung ho about this as me and I convinced her to buy a 3 day pass (score)

Day 1 was kinda a half day, but let me number things that happened:
1. Wore a cape, dress, chains, & fishnets today. yep. all together.
2. Got hit on by a clown. Seriously. A guy dressed as a homicidal clown hit on me. I couldn't tell if he was cute but I didn't pick up on the fact that he was hitting me because i was FREAKED OUT. By the fact that he was dressed as a clown. All in all a good guy, but I digress. Didn't notice that you asked me to be your city tour guide BECAUSE YOU HAD A RED FOAM NOSE ON. Clowns scare me. His name was 'buddy', which sounds like a horror film. "Buddy the Clown"
3. Went to a cover artist's workshop on making my digital paintings more painterly. Was definitely inspired to go home and draw.
4. Didn't go home & draw 'cause I checked out the amazing Star Wars Fan Film Last Film Standing or whatever. It was pretty cool 'cause we got to narrow down our favorite one. I have to say there was some awesome shit in there but this one is the one that won & it got my vote (via yelling and screaming)


5. They gave us goodies just for showing up! And get this, I got an original promotional glossy (actually 2) of Lando! I FUCKING LOVE LANDO. Prolly my fave human in the series (except for Han, well he's just so cool).
Just in case you're not as geeky as me (prolly not), here's THE man himself:
(not the actual glossy i got but hey)


Awesome. Plus I also scored some Bounty Hunter stickers, a comic, & a Indiana Jones glossy too. Fuckin A awesome.

I was perusing through my guide and just realized that Ray Park is going to be there tomorrow. I'm genuinely going to freak out 10x.

Wondercon is causing some self reflection

I'm kinda depressed right now. Well, to be fair, nowhere near as depressed as I once was, but still a little bummed. Walk with me, this one's going to be personal.

So there's this event called Wondercon.

I've always wanted to go to a con ever since i was in high school. Last year I got to go. I went by myself and enjoyed it. A few of my friends ran into me and we got to hang out and stuff but for the most part i'm pretty independent.

This year for some reason i'm kinda bummed out that noone is as gung ho about this as I am. Even my roommate who works for an anime company is probably not as gung ho about this as I am.

And so after a long time thinking about it, I think i figured out that the reason why is that me wanting to go much more than other people means that

I
am
the
biggest
geek
of
ALL
my geek friends.

and as much as I love that fact, I also think it's a harsh pill to swallow.


whoa, holy shit..luke & leia are going to be there. omfg.

50 Jobs, 50 States

I just saw an online clip of some news coverage of this guy!

I think it's such a great idea. He couldn't find a job out of college so he's traveling across the country and working a different job in each state for 2 weeks/1 week at a time.

It's pretty brilliant, and I like how he's going to end it in hawai'i.

Living The Map


He's been getting a lot of press coverage. Pretty brilliant!

Snapshot Isolation

I can't sleep. One of those stupid Facebook Memes was on a friend's page.

I decided to do it:

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop (or similar) to put it all together.

5 - Post it to Facebook as a note and tag the friends you want to join in.

So I did it, and to my surprise, my band's name randomly from Wikipedia is "Snapshot Isolation".

I REALLY like this name. Like REALLY like it. Dibs. It's like so geeky (I had never heard of the term, but reading about it on wikipedia) but it sounds alterna.

I really think my next band is gonna be named that.

This was my quote: "Each Painting has its own way of evolving...When the painting is finished, the subject reveals itself"

So far, holy shit, the title is "The Subject Reveals Itself"...not a bad debut album.

This was the third picture. Okay, so it can't all be perfect.

However, this was the FIRST picture on the page, and I think that's more fitting.

So there you have it. My next band's name is "Snapshot Isolation" & I'm srsly going to write a song named "The Subject Reveals Itself" very soon.


I'll just draw our album cover.

Those obama wannabe posters just got transformed

Okay, so admittedly, I'm pretty sick of all those fake obama posters. I mean, it's great 'cause it shows how iconic that work was, and I have one of those posters, but really, do i need to see everyone and their mother have their own version?

Then Keane showed me this.



I actually LOL'd.

Stevie Wonder: For Once in my life, and some thoughts

First of all, enjoy:


Wikipedia Link for song
Ron Miller, who was one of the writers of this song, wrote it about his baby daughter. He married a filipina, which means this awesome song is about a half filipino. I just thought that fact was cool.

On the flipside, after googling for the video, I came across the one i've posted at the top. Here's how I imagined it went down:

Assistant to Mr. Wonder: "The lights are designed pretty well, we're using state of the art recording as well."

Mr. Wonder: "Great! How are the dancers?"

Asst: "oh um, they're fantastic. Choreography's top notch...um. yeah"

Mr. Wonder: "you don't sound so sure"

Other Asst: "Oh don't worry, these are some fine a$$ b*tches up in this joint. They know how to wiggle."

Mr. Wonder: "Okay, i trust you"

SRSLY? Do you SEE that dancing? I mean i know it was decades ago but that had to be bad back then too!?

Summmarrrry of my day. Valentine's day.

1. went w/ bernadette to her audition.
2. Went to walgreens and random clement street store for valentine's decorations.
3. Defaced all valentine's decorations really violently.
4. Went to Justin Herman Plaza to hit thousands of people with a pillow.
5. Got drunk at The Boardroom, where the anti-valentine's day shit was hanging up.


Still hate valentine's day.

"to do you"

me: so

Why, google, why?!?!

I've googled myself before to see what others could potentially find out about me.

I had never thought until tonight to try something different..so I googled "candice san francisco"

This is the first result:
candace-sf.com WARNING: NOT WORK SAFE

here's a clip if you want to not have to click through:
"I'm Candace! As a sexy, beautiful blonde adult female companion based in both San Francisco and London I am exclusivelly available to the world's most discerning men. An executive with my own company, an artistic bent and a very naughty side, I am one of the highest rated escorts in San Francisco and London."


1. It's not even spelled right, her name is Candace, not Candice
2. She's an escort. How is this even legal in SF?!
3. I thought she was in a recession-proof business..apparently not "
In light of the economic slump, I'm offering $100 off my normal rate per hour until the end of March!"


...at least she's "highly rated." Well...according to her. I can't find her on Yelp.

I'm annoyed.

EDIT: Thanks to bernadette, we can now see what her reviews are:

If I were to ever write a missed connection, it would have been for today

Dear CHP Guy-

I'm usually a sucker for a guy in uniform, but you caught my friend & I by surprise. I had no idea CHP uniforms were as crazy attractive as Marine Digicams. You're the first one I've ever met. Until then, I only thought you guys looked like Erik Estrada.

We realized you were pulling us over, we had no choice. And as we were swearing up a storm, you surprised me by coming over to my side. Thanks, btw, for motioning for me to roll the window down. I honestly wasn't expecting a CHP officer to be at my window, nor was I expecting him to be young and freaking hot.

You said something about registration blah blah blah but I was lost in your deep, blue eyes. Sure, the paperwork is valid..take her license, but please, take my heart.

Somewhere in between the shuffle and frustration of the day, you found it in your heart to let us off without too bad of a punishment, and with enough time for my friend to make her appointment.

You have her address. Just show up, we'll figure out the future from there.

- The girl who couldn't say anything.

I love the fact that we're all watching this at work.

Nine Inch Nails Raw Footage?

Trent has reportedly been contacted about some raw footage

Apparently it can take days or weeks to download it. Anyone wanna do it for me?
