Check Please

If I knew you would be waiting for me at the end of this race, arms spread as I crossed that haunting finish line, it would give me the force to crash through a brick wall. All in the name of my love for you.

I Feel It In My Bones

I was honestly not excited to go see Tiesto at Coachella. Trance music isn't really my thing, but I must say, he rocked it. This was my favorite song from his set.

Escape Me is another great one ;)

Nail Art

I pulled this from a random facebook album on Coachella. I think it's amazing!

Tim and Jean

Tim Ayre and Jean Capotorto is Tim & Jean, an electropop indie duo from Perth Western Australia. They are super talented and super cute!

Come Around by SkyeAnne

This song sounds the best when played really loud :)

Movie Pick of the Week

This is a sexy and terribly charming film, and not lacking in intensity and tragedy. I love the 70s styling in it as well.






Marlon Brando is my all time favorite actor and Maria Schneider partners him well. A majority of the film is in French and his accent is really quite good. Give this movie a shot.

I heart MIA

This photo basically summarizes how much fun the trip to Miami was...


We saw some amazing DJs.. Afrojack, Calvis Harris and Laidback Luke took the cake in my opinion. Here are some of my favorite tracks heard throughout the week:

Here's a clip from the night at LIV in the Fontainbleau Hotel. The energy in there was incredible. I think it was the best night.



This week was magical. Everything was going our way and we were some of the luckiest girls in the world!

One more electronic song

Movie Pick of the Week

The Lost Boys is an 80s cult film. I'm surprised it hasn't had a come-back with all the latest vampire craze. And it's filmed in Santa Cruz! It's cheesy of course, but I really loved it. There are some sexy vampires in it too ;)

It stars Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Haim, who coincidentally died the day I watched it.. weird.

Watch it. It's fun.



Here's the theme song:

Pillow Talk

What side of the bed do you sleep on? And why does it matter? Why do we feel that extreme discomfort when we are forced to sleep on the "wrong" side of the bed? Is it possessiveness or just force of habit?

Next to wall. Close to the door. In the middle. So many choices but we need to stick to one. They say that the man usually sleeps closest to the door, but this isn't always the case. Does it say something about his personality if he makes the girl in the "protector's" position?

A few silly questions to think about.

Here are some funky pillows since we are in the discussion of sleep:

Acupuncture

So far, I have had 2 acupuncture sessions at the Five Branches Clinic. You get an incredible deal there because the people practicing on you are students and you are their guinea pigs, but I would have never known that Antonio (my acupuncturist) was a beginner. He is amazing. I've had needles in my ears, my head, my wrists, my ankles, my stomach, my chest, and my back. People usually ask me if it hurts... Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. There is always a slight half a second prick when it goes in, but nothing not tolerable. I highly recommend it.


My Herbal Tea (probably the worst tasting thing I have ever had to ingest)

My house mate Julia thought it looked like a Witch's potion :D



Antonio also put a glass bulb on my back where he lights the center so that it sucks all the air out when it reaches your skin to create a strong hold pulling out toxins from your body. Afterward, you have a purple oval mark on your back. It feels really good though.

I come out of every session all loopy and in a great mood!

Sing Along

We Are the People - Empire of the Sun

We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights, in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than father
The scent of a lemon, drips from your eyes

We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try

We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)

Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where we’d energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again

We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now
(repeat)

I know everything about you
You know everything about me
Know everything about us
(repeat)

I can’t do well when I think you’re gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Can’t you be believing now

(Post 69 hehe)

A Trip North

Friday night, I drove up to see Alice in Wonderland in San Francisco. I can't deny that it was beautiful and all the actors did a great job. Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp never let you down. And newbie Mia Wasikowska (Alice) was exquisitely charming. Anne Hathaway was an odd choice and had an odd role. I would just have to say that the movie was somewhat anti-climatic and lacked suspense... This may be because it is originally aimed towards children, but I think that Aladdin kept me more on edge. Go see it regardless. Tim Burton is an aesthetic genius.

The next day was a day well spent in the Mission. We started with brunch at Mission Beach Cafe (198 Guerrero Street), where I had some incredible eggs benedict and a delicious mimosa. The menu was blowing my mind away. Everything was tempting me. I had to ask the waiter to basically choose for me! I highly recommend this place. The setting is relaxed but in good taste.


Other good places to eat in the mission: Yamo and Bi Rite Market

We then stumbled upon this supposed famous alleyway with some incredible art:




A lot of pro-women art...



My favorite (above)


The next day I headed up to Santa Rosa. The drive up was beautiful and lush. The drive back to Santa Cruz was traffic-filled and ugly.

Soapy Fountain... The bum could bathe in it :)


Matisse looooves his car

Back to Santa Cruz. Back to finals. Ugh.

Am I the only person that didn't know about this?

This is so entertaining, even though you can get some SERIOUS creepers. I think it's super interesting to see all the different people. I came across a DJ in Amsterdam that was playing some sick beats and then started dancing by himself! Hahah Brace yourself for some male genitalia though... at least you can just press Next!

KHIEL'S Rare Earth Facial Cleansing Masque is great!

It's very efficient in clearing your skin and it's fun to put on because it's smooth and green :)

BLU

Why isn't this man insanely famous?



Watch the whole thing. It will blow your mind.

Love Fest 2009 was INCREDIBLE! I can't wait for the next one :)

New York, I Love You

I love this movie. I find it a lot better than Paris, Je t'aime. It's so romantic and well done. If you have netflix, you can watch instantly on your computer.

Back Seat Love

If you don't like the live version, I think the recorded one is a bit better.

Laugh Out Loud

Mimosa's at Sunset

Instead of doing our homework, Julia and I decided to go to West Cliff and watch the sunset. We brought snacks, champagne, and orange juice for our little date. With the tsunami warning, the waves were bigger than usual. The moon was incredible as well. Santa Cruz is a beautiful place.


Sushi on the Ocean


Pop!

There are some things about SC worth visiting :)

Dance with Me

On February 12th, I went to the Ed Banger Soirée in New York City at Webster Hall. The music was incredible. I danced my ass off! The drinks were cheap and there were 4 levels of electronic wonderfulness...



Justice, Sebastian, Busy P, Mehdi, Feadz, Mr. Flash, So Me, RekLes, Disko Dali and many more!


We ended up at Southside later that night to see some LA bros. The energy was good and it was fun, but Ed Banger was incredible.



On my last night in NYC, I danced at Juliet until I had to take my plane at 6am. Little did I know then that I would be delayed 2 hours, miss my connection on Minnesota and have to beg my way onto a flight to San Francisco... It was all worth it though.
