Eh



I guess Geeks don't know how to fix a flat. That's what I saw in the parking lot at the new Best Buy yesterday. I left work early to go and pick up my copy of GTAIV. Yea, I haven't played it yet cus I don't have a PS3. But all in due time, my friends.

Yesterday morning, I ate a Supreme Croissant from Jack in the Box.

This is what I saw as I headed to pay via Drive-Thru. Did you know Supreme Croissants are 2 for $3??

Then later that night, as I headed home from school, I reeeally wanted a Big Mac. The McDonald's I frequent has a 24-hour Drive-Thru, so I figured I was in the clear and well on my way to enjoying that Big Mac. So I get there, and there's only one car ahead of me (a wimpy CRX with the oversized exhaust). I couldn't really tell if he/she was ordering anything because I had my window up and was listening to music. But after a bit, the CRX moved up, and then I moved up as my window rolled down.
And there I sat, waiting for the heavenly sound of "Hi, can I take your order?" or whatever it is they say. And I waited some more. And then a little bit more. By this time, there was two other cars behind me. After my third deep breath, I honked the horn! I could taste the Big Mac, so close and yet so far.
I decided I wouldn't wait any longer and drove up to the window, only to find the Drive-Thru lady chatting it up with the person in the CRX. The look on my face said "wtf?"
She looks over at me and says "We're closed!"
And that's the damndest thing ever. In the history of damnation.

But all was not lost. Can you guess where I headed?


That's right. Ol' reliable. My friend Jack. I got the Spicy Chicken meal (with orange juice), curly fries, and two tacos. Funny thing about the orange juice, I asked for the biggest one they had and they still gave me the little juice box. Lame.

Here's a random picture:

They make it seem so tangible. "Oh, let me make sure I have my caution all good to go before i back out..."

Anyway, all caution aside, I went to San Jacinto this morning. I know, who goes TO San Jacinto, right? People usually drive BY San jacinto to get to where they really wanna go. But I had some paper work to pick up. It's a long story. But check out the scenery:







This is a weird, rock-like thing (it probably IS a rock) off the 79:

It's all red and gross looking. I dubbed it 'Period Rock'.

Yea. Right now I'm at school, eating chicken strips. Well, about to.


I have my yoga class at 4. And I was supposed to go the pool after that, but the weather is extremely crappy. I don't get it. It was soooo hot yesterday!! Ttyl.

Pics!

I know you've been waiting for this (well, I have). Here's a pic-by-pic of how the day was yesterday:


I went to one of my classes, and here I am waiting outside for it to start (with my water bottle)

After class, I waited for a friend before we headed out. I was working on setting up my eBay auctions page. You know, getting my water mark on all the pictures I put up and such.
The traffic was negligible, so we got there in a little over an hour.


BAM!


I wish I could've seen these all lit up


I ended up buying only one tee. I tried reeeeally hard to hold back. It kinda hurt. But the bags are pretty awesome.


Yea, the official Bape Los Angeles tee in blue


This is when I tried it on at home (yea, in the bathroom)


And here I am wearing it at work today.

After the Bape store, we walked over to the kidrobot store. Traffic on Melrose gets heinous, so we decided to not risk it and used the crosswalk:


It was really hot, too

Here's a pic I took as we headed out. They didn't have the tee I wanted in my size, nor the hat. Ah, well. I ended up getting 2 kidrobot mini's, and luckily I got two I didn't have yet.

The mannequin's got a 'stache going on...


Soulful Commandoe getting down near The Hundreds


I wasn't really ready for this one. The guy behind me was, apparently.


I got a hat. It's greeeeeen

After Melrose and the surrounding area, we headed to the Beverly Center. I needed some socks. Unfortunately, The Hundreds didn't have any. But they get more on Thursday ;)


Quite a view from the 4th floor of the parking structure


And here's what was to the right

I didn't take too many pictures at the Beverly Center, except for this one:

It's of a weird store. Like a really cheap version of Forever 21. Or something. I got some sunglasses there (no pic of that either)

Here's that same view again:

But at night. My feet hurt from walking so damn much

I got some pictures of what I did earlier today, but i'll post those later. I'm in class right now pretending to be working on my project. It's due next week!!

I Said Got DAMN!

Whooo the Bape store was siiiick!! Security guard-slash-doorman and everything! I can't believe how hooked up with gear the employees are, I really should've applied...
Anyway, the Photobucket site is down for maintenance, so I'll post what I wanted to post tomorrow afternoon.

Yo

I can't sleep! I must be excited about the Bape store...
I plan on getting some tee's. Nothing too fancy. And I'm kinda glad it's so hot out, this way I won't be tempted to buy a hoodie. But if they have something awesome enough, it won't matter how hot the weather is cus the hoodie would make it's own heat... Yea.
Anyway, work was same ol' thang, just a different day. At one point, this happened:

Totally 70's. Even the sleeve openings were flared!

As you can see here, nothing too exciting went on:

Yea, I was rocking the new Chuck's.

Since I got off work while the sun was still out, I took advantage of this sunlight and changed my oil:

I have to renew my registration next month, and I need a smog check. My car's waaay old so everything's gotta be running smooth or it won't pass the test. i even replaced the spark plugs...


I know it's not the cleanest undercarriage out there, but have you checked YOURS lately?

Not too many pictures today. But rest assured that I'm gonna pack this blog full of pictures from the Bape store and other surrounding stores. Hooks' was thinking of hitting it up too, so he might put up some of his own pics. If he ever finds his camera's USB cable, that is.

Yay!

After about 3 weeks of waiting, I finally got my green phone case!

It's just kinda weird with the little bit of black peeking through. But overall, it's the bee's knees.

Today was a pretty lame day. I wanted to go to the Best Buy before work, but I woke up late. I barely made it on time.
After work, I was kinda bummed for no apparent reason. So I bought some shoes.

Yea, brown. I plan to have them in every color. Eventually...

Theeen, I finally made it to the Best Buy. First of all, the Guitar Hero display was busted. And they've only been open 2 days!! Not off to a good start, there, Best Buy.


The store isn't that big. Kinda disappointing.
During my visit, I ran into some guy I went to high school with. I didn't even remember his name, and he started talking about how I used to be 'mean' to him back then. Then he went off about how he keyed some guy's car in high school, and that he wanted to key mine. Totally crazy dude. Anyway, I reserved a copy of GTAIV, even though I don't have a PS3. Pretty crazy, I know. But not as crazy as that guy.
I also stocked up on blank CD's.


I wasn't gonna buy any, but I took a look at the weekly ad and the 50 pack was on sale for $8.99! To make things even better, they're in color!
When I went to complete my purchase transaction, the CD's rang up at the original price. I pulled out the weekly ad and was like "Word? It says right here they're on sale..." So, yea. I held up the line while they called for a manager. Good times.

I can't believe Pulp Fiction was $14.99!

Someone gave it to me last year, around November, but I gave it back to her. And she took it.

I'm gonna go eat my Royale with Cheese that I bought earlier. Again, no soda AT ALL today. =)

It's the Weekend

What's Up? As you can see, Hollywood Hooks has been added as an author to the blog. Apparently, he wants to keep us all up on new toy releases, and new clothing on the other side of the world. Ah well, he's trying.
Of course, Friday is a great way to kick off the weekend. My day started off at around 7:30 this morning, late as usual for my 9 am class. I arrived at my health science lab with a few minutes to spare, early enough to be able to turn in the homework I finished at 2 am. Lab was lame this week, we heated some sausage and the whole classroom smelled like death.


This was the device we used to measure the fat content of 77 grams of sausage (which was 13g).

After lab, I had some time before my next class so I headed to the student union to grab some breakfast.


I nabbed a green apple, a side of hash browns, and, of course, my bottle of water. If you ever decide you want to try the hash browns at CSUSB, let me give you a heads up: DON'T. Shortly after finishing this small bowl of potato-flavored trash, my stomach was churning like no tomorrow. I won't get into details about that.

But that apple was the best green apple (and the only) I had that day:





After this last picture, the apple tilted over onto the bare table, so I didn't want to risk taking another bite. What? I don't know if someone sat their bare ass on that table before I got there...

Alright, so after my second class, which was awesomely brief due to a substitute teacher, I headed to work. I stopped at Subway first, per Brittani's request.
Since the Coachella music festival is going on right now, the mall was exceedingly empty.

This is unusual for a Friday.

And check out this picture of the extremely lame sign attempt by Diesel:

The day before, they had that exact sign leaning against one of their front windows. They must've gotten jealous of all the other stores having functional signs that might actually attract customers. I honestly don't have anything against Diesel, though it may seem like it from these posts. But c'mon, if you're not ready to open your store, DON'T OPEN YOUR STORE.

Let's change subjects. After my 8 hours at work, Joy tells me that she wants to have a small shindig at the local Chili's in celebration of Kristen's birthday. And me, not being able to turn down a good beer, gladly tag along.


Good ol' country fried chicken crispers.

I ended the night with two Corona's down the hatch. Good times.


We stayed for a good two hours at that booth. My ass print shall remain for days.

Oh, and before I forget, I found more pictures of my kidrobot muse:




I'll probably be stopping by the kidrobot store in L.A. on Monday, right after I blow my non-literal wad at the NEW Bape store right across the street.
Speaking of the new Bape store, I found a picture of Kanye at the grand opening:

Yes, that IS Jonah Hill playing with his iPhone. And yes, Kanye IS looking rather raggedy.

Check out Jermaine Dupri looking pretty stupid:

Rick Ross looks like he spotted Pink's Hot Dog stand around the corner. And JD, please, next time you decide to rock the Bape, go ahead and pick out a color scheme more appropriate for your age.

Finally, I leave you with this:

How uncomfortable does Nigo look here?? I seriously doubt what's-her-face, along with whoever-he-is, know or care who Nigo is.

Alright, I'm gonna call this a post because I need some sleep. Work again at 11, but I wanna head in to the new Best Buy, which opened today, and check it out before work.
