I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! I actually have been back from SoCal since last Tuesday but I've just been extra lazy with my updating, so I thought...might as well give you guys something new to read finally.

Exactly 17 more days until it's officially summer. Woooooo :) The new season of Sex and The City [HBO] has begun last night. I was so excited to see it. That show never fails to entertain me. Love that Samantha, love that Carrie and love her closet! One day, Manolo Blahnik can be my "sole-mate" too :) Hahahahaha.

Now that I'm updating, I just went blank. Don't know what to say.

I'll just dye my hair now. Love you!

Oh yeah, and to noele who asked me about my "kristin loves you" font, it's Futura... la la la :) Swanky and simple!

I was pissed off last night. I think I'm okay today.

Aside from my fairly recent hotmail account [I just created it around last October], I've been using my chickmail account [as my main email account] for like 2-3 years and the dumbfucks now warn all chickmail users that chickmail is going down. It's gonna be gone. Poof. Gone gone away forever. The expected death date is June 30. Great, now I have to transfer all my saved email and change all my-stuff-I-needed-an-email-address-to-sign-up-for-shit-to-my-hotmail-account. I don't even remember what sites/programs I used my chickmail account to sign up for!!!

Is it like my dildo? Uh, not quite...

[that song is in my head right now]

This morning, since I woke up so early and I couldn't go back to sleep, I watched that darned Charlie's Angels movie for the first time. Wow, I'm so glad I didn't pay actual money to see it in theaters. I really didn't like it :)I'm gonna pop in Sliding Doors now to make up for it.

This kristinthegreat.com domain is approaching its first birthday in about a couple weeks :) I wonder, what am I gonna do w/ this site as the years go by? Will I be some 30 year old kristin still doing webjournals with a 10billion mile long archive list that dates back to when I started doing the journal thing back as a cynical 18 year old? Or will I turn this site into something completely different like porn?? Of course, not starring me. Hell no. I'm down with O.P.P [other people's porn], Yeah you know me!

I mean it.

I look at my closet and what a depressing mess! I mean, color wise. Everything is so dark. Black and gray. It took me a while to realize that I don't wear white. No way. But, I figure, it's not such a bad thing [if I just limit it to shirts and not pants--ew] so I think I'll wear white. I'm not all gloomy, I like pink, blue, red, yellow and lavender.

I go to the beach a lot. It's free. It's vast. There's always parking. Today was a beautiful day [despite my mood]. Tomorrow promises another beautiful sunny day.

Consumer Alert: Don't ever buy those 0 calorie "flavored spring waters". They're nasty. Veryfine makes some and I picked up a bottle today over "normal" spring water [ugh, I should've went w/ my first choice]. I got a raspberry one at Walgreen's today and although it's sweetened, it's just yucky. I was disappointed. What a waste of 99 cents. Water, pure and simple in almighty tasteless-ness does greater tastebud justice over this sad, sad new concept. Cheaper, too. [Not unless it's like by Evian--which is by far the nastiest bottled pretention of a mineral spring water around]

I love. I want. I eat. I dream. I miss. I like.

Currently listening to Stereolab's "Cybele's Reverie". Before that was Sneaker Pimps "6 Underground- orchestral remix".

I'm slowly mourning over the disintegration of my french language competency. 8 years of french classes and I'm having times where I can't remember how to make basic sentences and verb tenses [how I loved the conditional/future tenses the most and how I loated the l'imparfait --imperfect--].

Anyway, Earlier this week, supermodel/Victoria's Secret model Gisele was on Craig Kilborn [sp?]. I can't believe she's Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend. Hell, she can be my girlfriend. She's lovely and I've never really got to work my good-girlfriend-potential skills anyway because boys don't want to take the chance. hardy har har !

Completely alone in this house. Makes it feel larger since I'm the only living soul in here. Everyone has gone away for the weekend. I love being the only one here :)

It's like 1:30 am and I have no one to bother w/ my stereo [that's playing a Leslie cd at the moment]. Speaking of music, earlier in the afternoon as Jericho and I were finally organizing the overwhelming pile of cds on my floor, he found my lost copy of Siamese Dream that has been missing this whole year already. I gave up hope on finding that cd [my favorite one ever]--even after a nice Camel surprised cheered me up w/ a 2nd copy weeks after I made the annoucement that my beloved cd was missing [this was back in January if you remember]. So now I have 2 Siamese Dream cds. I should be so lucky :)

I really really dig that Kogepan character. Awwww...

2 things to know today:

1. First day of summer [wahooooooooo!]

2. Exactly two more months until my birthday. Better start brainstorming some presents for me right about now. Just kidding. All I want is another bottle of Issey Miyake [I'm running out].

I don't miss my bright red hair that I've been sporting since October 2000. I got rid of it last night. It's dark, baby. Really dark. Looks almost black, but it's just a dark dark dark red. It's scary. I'm still trying to get used to it because I've not had hair this dark since I can't remember when. Give the bleach bottle a rest...

Just a random thought: When Spacehog released their 2nd album in 1998 entitled The Chinese Album, I went out and got it right away because I was extremely pleased with their debut, Resident Alien, but I was disappointed that TCA wasn't as cool sounding. I think I've only listened to the whole album [in the course of 1998-today] less than 10 times give or take.

On the other hand, Radiohead concert is next week. Woohoohoohooo! Spot me in the crowd, if ya can!

June 22, 2001 + Friday + 4:03 pm

Today feels like a Saturday, because yesterday felt like a Friday. Not that I did any cool Friday night activities or anything to make it feel like a Friday to me.

ERROR MSGI'm still trying to get used to my new dark hair color. I'm kind of intimidated because although it looks more "natural" than my previous redhead look, it feels more "unnatural"--kinda as if I was naturally blonde, dyeing my hair black for the first time. But I'll get used to it and people will think I've never dyed my hair before...Before you know it, I'll have light hair again because I'll miss it and I'll get sick of dark hair and this whole torturous process will repeat itself again. I know this to be true because this always happens. Just as fast as I change web layouts, I change my hair color too.

Did you guys know that Homer Simpson's classic expression, "Doh!!!" will now be added to the dictionary?

Today, another nice day in San Francisco. A little windy-er today but sunny. A good lunch place to go to on days like this would be Pomelo, which is a tiny, tiny cute little restaurant located on Judah street [near UCSF, I think the cross street is 6th Ave]. It's mainly a noodle cafe, with various twists on noodle dishes from around the world [mainly europe/asia] . Inexpensive. Ginger iced tea refills complimentary, kitchen is on display so you can see the chef create your dishes as you're seated [since it's a smallllllllllllllll place]. Gelato is yum-yum :) The chocolate/hazelnut flavor is similar to acrobaleno gelato at Marco Polo [Taraval/25th Ave]. Although I didn't finish all my food, I finished all of my dessert :)

The also-cute-little japanese restaurant adjacent to Pomelo [to the left of it], Katanya-ya [sheesh, I think that's the name!] is also recommended by me.

Is it a wonder why I want to live in Sunset??? [The restaurants!]

I love. Food. Yum. You, too. Yum.

I've started watching the Food Network again. Truly inspiring, quality programming. I would love to have a job in the Food Network...going to on-site locations trying lots of different kinds of wonderful things. i love cooking shows. one of my favorites on that channel is East Meets West, with Ming Tsai.

Late night mixture of wonderful things:

Laughter. desert animal. moisturized skin. fresh scrubbed smile. good morning smile when eyes are still closed. milk tea. make you feel better hugs. brut, extra dry. gas burners. jet li. tension of the good variety. apricot scrub. all natural anything. artichokes. sharpened knives. culinary seduction. decent breastage. culture infused individual. i am not plain yogurt kind.

eye love you. good night.
