Just saw Inter win the Champion's League final. 2-0, both scored by Milito. It was pretty awesome and led to a rare series of tweets from me about sports. Weird, I know.

Anyway, this Nike commercial was one of the highlights.

19 days until the World Cup!

I've been down on Glee lately. It's gone downhill since it came back in April and there have been more bad episodes than good. However, I just watched last night's episode and it was awesome . NPH singing Dream On and Piano Man. NPH being on there in general. There was actually character development (which is probably because the awesome Joss Whedon directed it). They actually used Other Asian for something. Wasn't a big fan of Idina Menzel singing, but I don't really like Idina Menzel so whatever. Now that Dollhouse is officially canceled can Joss just do more Glee episodes? It'd make everyone happier. Maybe (just maybe) I'd even convince Chris to watch with me.

Also, new Miggs album is out. It's kind of awesome. You should check it out.

Finals are done! They've been done since Wednesday, but I've been too busy playing Super Mario Galaxy and reading The Sandman and eating my way around the Mission to mention that. I've been using my LexisNexis points on The Sandman. Just got Vol. 3 but now I am out of points. Haha. Why is Neil Gaiman so awesome and why has it taken me so long to discover this?

Have the summer internship lined up with Creative Commons. I'm very excited about working with them. I have a couple of weeks of bumming around before that starts, so I'm taking the time to undo all the damage that finals caused. Signed up for 24 Hr Fitness with my mom and James. Chris restarted his account. So hopefully I can fix some of the damage before then. Going to spend this summer actually taking the diet thing seriously as well. We'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll even start cooking for myself again. A novel concept, I know.

Okay, should probably try to find something to eat.

Also trying to finally beat Super Mario Galaxy before the new one comes out. This is taking longer than it should because I'm being anal and want to get all the stars first. Whatever.

Main laptop broke on April 23. Took it to Best Buy the same day. +

Confirmed a week later that I need a recovery disc. +

Could not find recovery disc, so I had to buy a new one (ugh ugh ugh ugh). +

Recovery disc JUST shipped.

= I am never getting my laptop back *cries*

One final stands between me and summer. Never mind that it's probably going to be my hardest, I'm almost done with my second year of law school! Exciting. Once I finish last week's episode of the summer, I'll probably dive back into studying. In the past, I'd make sure to fall asleep to a couple of episodes of Arrested Development or 30 Rock before studying again, but my DVD player seems to not want to work anymore. So sad.

This finals period has been major fail diet-wise. Starting a diet blog with Jeanne and some others. I'm hoping it's good motivation to actually stay on track. Yay?

In less than two days I'll be done. Yay!

It's sad that I spent my Tuesday night sulking about Lost. Very sad.

Anyway, saw midnight showing of Iron Man 2 last night. I thought it was an enjoyable movie overall (as any excuse to watch over two hours of RDJ generally is). I don't know if it was better than the first but it was a fun movie to watch and a good way to kick off the summer movie season (or did Kick Ass officially kick that off? Idk).

Don't want to spoil much, so I will make these comments:

- SO MUCH IP TALK. GO AWAY IP. Stop infiltrating movies I want to watch.

- the fight against Ivan at the end felt like it lasted three seconds. Really? I was hoping for something more epic than that.

- I just saw ScarJo's big fight scene in Kick Ass and HitGirl did a better job. Sorry ScarJo.

- I liked Gwenyth as Pepper a lot more in this movie even if she really didn't do anything.

- Don Cheadle >>> Terrence Howard. It's just a fact.

- Sam Rockwell is kind of awesome. Go watch him in Moon if you haven't seen the movie already.

- stay through the credits.

Dear Lost,

Thank you for continuing to kill off characters I love and keeping the ones I cannot stand. Also, please don't leave me. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. You're leaving me with Gossip Girl and Heroes. Do. Not. Want.

Alea

PS. Thanks for the Jears in this episode. I've been waiting for some good Jears this season.

Went to another Earthquakes game. As a person who has been sports-phobic her entire life, the whole soccer game thing is a lot of fun. Totally looking forward to the World Cup this summer. Earthquakes won this time, too. Thus, I got a "win pin," which is a silly pin they hand out after each home win. Kind of want to go to next week's game too, but considering that I have finals again that week AND I haven't been entirely productive this weekend (recovering from Trade Secrets), I think I might have to skip it. Also, games aren't the cheapest things in the world.

On the upside, I did get a free ticket for a future Earthquakes game yesterday. I had to update on Facebook that I was at the game. Literally got the last ticket. Even then, it was only because he looked really sad when he told some other guy that he was getting the last ticket. I can use it for whatever upcoming home game except for the Galaxy one. Maybe DC United or the Seattle Sounders or something? I don't know. We're going to more Earthquakes games. We should have just gone with season passes this year. Maybe next year? Whatever. It's kind of fun being a sports fan, anyway.

Also, I've finally set up what I've been saying I'd do for months. Been wanting to do a food blog. It's actually the reason I started yelp. Kind of figured building up Yelp views would be a good way to get into the food blog. I'm combining it with a music blog. It should be fun. Music & Jjigae. Even playing around with the whole Word Press thing.

Don't worry all ye faithful reader(s). I'll still be keeping this as my primary and personal blog.

One final down and three more to go. Next one is on Friday and it's closed book (yuck).

Meanwhile, I've been fooding my way around Redwood City. Joining Yelp might have been a bad idea. On the other hand, my desire to discover new places has landed me some great local study spots. I guess it's win win.

Still no summer job yet. Kind of put it on hold when I realized I had to learn Professional Responsibility in one week. Hopefully next week when I've got a little more time I can throw out some applications. I have one that I'm waiting on. While I'd love to get it, I need to stop throwing all my eggs in one or two baskets. Sooo back to that grind next week. That and re-learning Evidence and IP. Fun times.

On an unrelated note, what happened to Gossip Girl? It was never really an amazing show, but they really can't be so out of ideas that they're throwing out soap opera cliches like terminal illnesses at us. Really Gossip Girl? Really? Is someone going to go blind next?

If there's any album that epitomizes nostalgia for me, it's Rock and Roll Part 3 by Ozma. It defines freshman year and the good days in Shadowfax. What a year. I'm sad that it ended with drama that pretty much strained one of my closer friendships from that year, but it was certainly a memorable year. Or, as we would have said back then, it was a jawsome year. (Side note: there was a lot of debate about whether it was to be spelled jawesome or jawsome. I was always in the jawsome school of thought.)

It all started when I was trying to get through one more section of my PR outline and Kristina pointed me in the direction of some of the old blogs from that year. Once I started reading, I got hooked. Brought back so many memories.

I miss the days when things were so carefree. We seriously watched a movie almost every week. Always frolicking around the Spectrum or Target (haha, oh Irvine). Always so happy. No concerns about passing law school finals or finding a summer job. Those were some good times.

I kind of got hooked reading Chris's old stuff, especially reliving the months before we got together. And how technically our first date was a NOFX concert.

But I don't think anything sums up freshman year as well as Rock and Roll Part 3 does. We saw Ozma at the Glass House in Pasadena December 2003 and it sent us all off. It was the band we were obsessed with. Shootingstars was pretty much everyone's emo song. It was so devastating to all of us when they broke up that summer. I think things that may have rivaled Ozma that year were Eurotrip (we pretty much watched that movie every day during Spring Quarter), Kill Bill (came out that year, whatever) and Franz Ferdinand. Oh and Gavin DeGraw, but he was mostly a Fall Quarter thing and a second floor girls suite thing.

On the upside, I'm meeting with some of those Shadowfaxers this weekend. I'm excited.

So the questions I now leave with are:

1) Whatever happened to Diana? I just ran a search for her on Facebook but didn't feel like sifting through the 500+ results I got at 2:15. I hope she's doing okay.

2) What is in Max Cola and why did it make us go crazy that one night?

3) Whatever happened to Ozma anyway? They broke up Summer 2004, got back together around 2006. They released Pasadena and did some shows and then they fell off the face of the planet. My music tastes have changed since my Ozma days,but I would so see them again. If anything, it'd be to do the geek mosh to the Tetris theme. I miss those guys (and girl).

And for good measures:
