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.
