flashback to the 90s

So my coworker friends talked me into going to a Robyn concert this weekend. I had no idea she was still singing, but what the heck, it was only $5 through Goldstar events. I had a pretty good time considering I didn't know any of her songs. Plus we saw Perez Hilton and took a picture with him.

I finished a book!

....that doesn't have the words "Harry" and "Potter" in the title! Ever since I quit wow, I've been wanting to do some reading to occupy my new found time, but I never really got around to it. Now that I'm taking public transportation (yes I made the commitment and got rid of my parking permit), I have been given the gift of time and actually finished reading a book that isn't school related and not written by J.K. Rowling. Although, I did become interested in reading the book after seeing it recommended on Mugglenet. Wow I'm such a nerd.

The book is called Twilight and it's a series written by Stephanie Meyer about a girl who falls in love with a vampire. It's very Buffy and Angel minus the slayer part. The first book in the series was quite good but girly. Most of the book was about the two falling in love and nothing violent happens until the end. I just ordered the next two books in the series but while I wait for those to arrive, I am reading The Ruins, recommended by Scuz.

Toss toss!

Ah....it's good to be home on a Friday. Thank you USC for holding Commencement on Friday no matter how inconvenient it is for the attendees.

I finally saw Wicked the Musical last night and it was quite good. Gotta love Goldstar Events for providing discounted tix. The musical had quite a few good songs:

Defying Gravity
Popular
I'm Not That Girl
As Long As Your Mine
The Wizard and I
What Is This Feeling?
For Good

I also saw Mamma Mia! the other day which wasn't bad. I've never been a fan of ABBA, but it's pretty amazing how they were able to string all their songs into a story. It's a fun musical to watch and I'll definitely be watching the movie version. It's a good thing I didn't hate it though...since I have to watch it again next year. Woots for season tickets to the Pantages!

go metro!

So I recently decided to try out the public transportation system by taking the subway and bus to work. I was very paranoid that I would screw something up like get on the wrong bus. Although I managed to get on all the right buses and trains, I missed my stop so it took me an extra 15 min. And then I find out that I didn't need to take the bus at all because USC has a tram that goes to and from Union Station.

I think I'll try to keep this up and cancel my parking permit. Although it actually takes longer than just driving, it's a HUGE money saver. Let's see how long I can last with this...

damn rain

fan-freaking-tastic. the first time i get a car wash in like a year and now it's raining. mother f-er!

Happy Cinco de Mayo
