Suds

I did five loads of laundry today. Four out of five ended up perfectly fine. Here's what happened to the third load:

Luckily there were only two other people in the laundry mat at the time, but the scene did cause a few questions such as, "Did you do that?!?!?" and "Is there a number you can call?"

Woops. I'm actually surprised that this is the first time it has ever happened to me in my 15 years of doing laundry. I don't exactly understand what went wrong so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to me again. I used the same amount of detergent, load and cycle for each one.

Note to self: Stay away from the end washer. It is pure evil. (Blame it on the washer).

Xmas Around the Corner

With the economic recession, who knows if Santa Claus will be coming down the chimney this year.

Most kids are scared of the jolly man in the red suit anyways, right?

Morning After

Went to brunch with my roommate this afternoon and she pointed out that we were witnessing a "morning after" at the next table.




We laughed our way through their awkward brunch.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Last night was an incredibly random night out in SF with my roommate. We started out at Poleng and attended the screening of a skater film. After the film we went to the bar and ended up meeting the owner of the restaurant (of course).

About an hour later we left for BOSS and took a pic with Cyndi Lauper. Either she's REALLY white, or we are REALLY tan. One way or the other, taking a pic with Cyndi was like taking a pic with Santa Claus in the Christmas Story movie. She grabbed Maria's hand, motioned us to hurry up, took my camera, posed, and pushed us out.

My family

My family makes me laugh. Here are a few pics of the jokesters in Mexico posing for the camera:

9 year-old ladies' man

This morning the TODAY show interviewed a 9 yo ladies' man based on a book he had recently published offering tips and advice. The kid sounded pretty sure of himself and included tips such as, "Always comb your hair and never wear sweatpants."

Hasta luego Mexico!

My lack of posts have been due to a two week vacay in Mexico D.F. and Acapulco. Finally back in Cali, here are my key takeaways or notes:

Everything is a little pica... even the chips

Salsa goes with EVERYTHING. Even popcorn.

I would never be able to drive without getting in an accident. Everyone ignores lights, lanes and rightaways.

Mezcal (similar to Tequila) is smokey and will do you in after a few shots.

Bite the limon before the shot, not after.

Mexican weddings are awesome.

Mexican men are extremely flirty.

Bargain.

Nobody wears flip flops.
