skullblogthe life and times of the calavera contingentrestyle your life- June 30, 2008 i'm kind of a natural high of being excited over my workspace. i rearranged my setup at work by just a little bit and finally got rid of boxes that had been cluttering my space ever since we got moved around. i have seen some photos of clean cubicles online and it inspired me to make my own space nicer. now i'm excited about decorating my work space as i've never ever done that before. i always say i'll bring in pictures but if anything has ever decorated my desk it's been the trinkets that...http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/06/restyle_your_life.html nylon summer music tour- June 22, 2008 last night we went to see she wants revenge. there were 3 opening bands: the switches, the virgins, be your own pet. it was under the banner of "nylon summer music tour" and it was at the wiltern. it's the first time i wore zourichanclasflip-flops to a concert and i'll never do it again. i was so tired standing there that after the first opening band, i went upstairs to sit down through the next two bands before heading back to the main floor to watch she wants revenge. and even as i was...http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/06/nylon_summer_music_tour.html coming to you live from my phone- June 16, 2008 today i got a new phone...yeah i'm the latest victim to jump on the blackberry bandwagon. i'm even writing this entry from my phone. i'm not the kind that has to have the latest gadgets or access to email constantly, nor am i always chatting. so why a pda phone silly as it may seem but i wanted a better camera phone. i decided to go full out with a pda and web plan because there's been many times when i've needed to look up something online but not near a computer and had to call someone at...http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/06/coming_to_you_live_from_my_phone.html mein kampf- June 14, 2008 previously i have written about my struggle to find a good deodorant as a vegan because it can't have animal products and i'd rather it be free of possible carcinogens. a lot of products out there don't smell good or don't do a good job. a couple times i thought i found a winner but those deodorants ended up burning my armpits and causing the skin to peel. it was painful but i lived through it. well i finally found a good deodorant and it's organic! i was really hesitant to write about it at...http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/06/mein_kampf.html my first quinceañera- June 8, 2008 i attended my first quinceañera today. i've had mexican friends ever since i was little but no one ever mentioned quinceañeras until i was in college or so. i guess maybe because when i was around that age my best friends were asian. so it's like, what the fuck is that shit, a wedding for kids well, kinda, sorta. it's just a very elaborate party for celebrating a coming of age and the whoopty-dos that they do is as much of a big deal as a wedding. plus there is a mass and maids of.http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/06/my_first_quinceanera.html may netflixes- June 1, 2008 here's what i netflixed in may and my silly thoughts on them: bus 174 - this was interesting because it takes one incident and uses it to consider the greater social issue at hand. it starts to touch what that greater issue is but doesn't go too heavy into it nor try to offer solutions. that is perfectly acceptable. the incident is from 2000 when a bus from the 174 line in rio de janeiro had a robbery gone bad which turned into a hijacking. it was done by a slumstreet kid so his background as..http://www.calavera.com/skullblog/archives/2008/05/may_netflixes.html |
