Countdown to Christmas
Christmas is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. I have actually been pretty good with my Christmas shopping this year, finishing well before the date I assigned myself. Actually, being that I am rolling in as much dough this year to make the Pillsbury Boy jealous (insert the try to pretend I didn't blast bullshit facial expression here), I didn't get too many people gifts this year. I decided it was better to just spend more money on those closest to me rather than trying to get gifts for everyone and their third cousins. The end result of this strategy? I didn't have to buy any nose hair trimmers this year!
Actually, I've never bought a nose hair trimmer for anyone before. I know, I know. You're probably asking why I haven't because it's the perfect gift that keeps on giving. hahah. I just think it's one of those presents that run the risk of being offensive. What would you think if you got a nose hair trimmer for X-mas? It's like receiving a tongue scraper and trying to not think your buddy was trying to say anything about your chronic case of halitosis. I actually know a few people who could use a tongue scraper by the way.. hehehe.
Okay, back on course... For reals though, if your friend got you a nose hair trimmer, there wouldn't be any other possible interpretation except someone wants you to chop the protuding branches from your nostrils. Helpful? I guess. Embarassing? Yes. Offensive? Possibly. But then again, you could be grateful for getting a nose hair trimmer for Christmas. Friends DO tell you with there is a piece of spinach embedded between your teeth. Friends DO tell you when you have sleep in your eyes. I guess friends also have the right to tell you you need to trim the weeds in your nose. Furthermore, just because I wouldn't choose to buy these handy trimmers as a gift, I know others have and do. Every year I always see nose hair trimmers in almost every gift store, and a good amount of them are already taken. There IS a market for this stuff! That or people are using the trimmers for other orifices. Uhhhh....
Okay, what the hell just happened? This is my first update in a week and I end up expanding upon nose hair trimmers. Let's just flip the script shall we.
Last Monday, Ms. Ayako Jinnai from Tokyo decided to grace Los Angeles with her presence. She stayed until Friday morning and I did my best to show her around town. I'm not sure if I did a great job, but I can confidently say at least her stomach was content. In all honesty, I believe her stomach experienced multiple orgasms last week. Food aside however, luck seemed to be against us last week. The Paul Getty Museum was closed when we went, Martini Ranch down in San Diego wouldn't accept Ayako's identification, and Six Flags was closed on the Thursday we tried to go. (It's freaking winter break already. Why is that park closed?) Even the Huntington Museum was renovating certain parts of their park!!! But Ayako and I did the best we could and we saw a good amount of things for the time frame we had to work with. Ayako, if you are reading this, I hope you had a good time! You should definitely come back on a weekend next time girl.

After a busy week showing Ayako around, I now find myself back on the same rung I was on two weeks ago - Dealing with law school applications. Fun, fun, fun. I was able to get the transcripts and letters of recommendation out of the way and I'm working on the final drafts of my personal statement. It seems like I'm always working on that stupid essay. After I finish my law school applications, I'm going to start looking for a job and then will start cracking at those Japanese books again. Oh and of course I'm going to work on my music. My studio equipment came in today! I'll be sure to take provocative pictures of my equipment once everything is set up.
I guess it's time to end this cluttered, random entry. But before I unwrap today's eye candy, I would just like to wish Casey a very happy 24th birthday. Hope you had a good time up in the mountains ma. I'll see you on News Years Eve in Daygo. One belated b-day down, one upcoming b-day to go. Christina, stop terrorizing Santa Barbara and Cerritos, and have a good 21st birthday on Wednesday. I want you to shoot Jose at least once for me before you lose your memory okay? =D Finally, I wanna give a shout out to my boy Brent. Thanks for the sashimi hookup man. It was good seeing you and my stomach wasn't complaining either. Next time Ima leave before you spot the tip, Owlman. I'll see you before the New Year for sure.
