I suck I know....

I've been meaning to post but with me finishing my Miami stay in two weeks its been a little hectic. I've been working long and hard on our end of the quarter project, Office Max. Our question to answer is how to you get new customers, like you, into OM to buy ink? Any suggestions?

Anyways today I saw it all today.

1 - A dog (yorkie, I think) in a stroller WITH a polo and a sailor hat. Hmmmmmmmmm
2 - A couple having lunch on Ocean drive with their dog. Normal scenario, right? Ummm NOOOOO not when the dog is sitting a chair like a human. He had his legs to the side and almost positive his front legs on the table with shorts AND sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses the cool tinted, wire frame ones.

I've seen it all.......!


More support why I dislike dog parents and little dogs.

Post pics soon.

Happy Valentine's Day Part Deux

So does anyone know who Keith Richards is? I didn't until I found him sitting at the same bar I was. He was alone and looked f**ked up. Just so that I can claim I stood next to him, I went to the bar and ordered a water. He moved away quickly, probably thinking I was going to mob him. When he realized I wasn't he came back to tap his cigarette in the ash tray. I've never seen someone as shakey as him.

And then I stayed out til 4:30AM. EeeeekkK! The most surprising fact is that I would of stayed out longer if a) I had more money for drinks and b) I wasn't so hungry. Ohh...the craziness of Miami Beach.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry! I'm a terrible person. I haven't updated for exactly two weeks. But you can't get mad at me its Valentine's day.

Soo lets catch up! In the last two weeks, I've worked with an awesome group, had drama with the new groups (not really me but other people in my class), have been briefed on my end of the year project which is INK for Office Max (blah! If anyone really loves ink let me know) and had my lobster come! YAY ! We did TONS of things and I'll share it with you in pictures below.

Last but not least, I've bumped into more celebrities following Bill Murray. It's weird you'd think living in LA I'd see then more often but I guess South Beach is so small you have a greater chance of seeing them. So below is the list of people I've seen:

Hulk Hogan at this little Cal-Mex place called the Lime. He's always ALWAYS there.

Some chick from Dancing with the Stars. I couldn't tell you who since I don't watch the show but my roomie pointed her out but it was the night before the Superbowl

This dude I KNOW is in some movies but I'm terrible with names and titles soo you'll just have to take my word for it. He was seen after Dancing with the Stars lady.

Last but not least, Julia Stiles. I KNOW! I was excited too but no one in my group cared. I saw her last night at this TINY little bar next to my apt. that holds like 20 people.

Now for pictures : )

Isn't it ironic?

Location: Apt. Dining Room Table
Weather: A windy 76
Time: 10:47

Sooo in my attempt to forget to forget that I'm too busy to go out and went out I had a blast SORT OF.

Night started off us (roomie and I) trying to find this little hole in the wall bar called The Room. After 5 phone calls and 3 failed attempts to find this Room. One attempt failed because my roomie asked for The Doors which a bouncer kindly replied thats a band THEN asking for The Door which didn't work either since the door we were looking for was for The Room that at that moment in time did not exist. When we finally found the room it was HOT and more HOT with no place to sit. After hanging out for an hour or so and having cherry beer YUM we left to go and find another place that wasn't soo hot. We passed the club we had asked a bouncer where The Room was located and immediatley got stopped by a Frank who asked if we were locals and not believing us said just to tell "them" we were and that we had been invited by Frank. Cool! Free entrance is all I need to hear. Yet we didn't realize how annoying it would be when they cornered us and kept harping where our proof of residence was. After my mumblings of "in an international city like Miami NO ONE is going to have a state ID much less carry a bill with them everywhere to prove their residency." SO one of the girls in our group Amber (there was 5 of us) was chosen as the leader of our ring and was given a pop quiz. I hadn't realized we were in high school and that we were trying to break in to the popular club's secret location.

After we finally got in, we danced the night away and had a blast. As the night was winding down there was a crazy little tourist group dancing very crazy. I pinpointed a particular old german tourist wearing plaid pants and proceeded to tell the leader in our group that he was dancing really funny. We laughed and went about our business to dance the night away. Some guys sitting next to us pulled the ring leader over and told her Bill Murray was in the area. Her and I jumped to find out where Mr. Murray was. I slyly tried to dance close to the private area to catch a glimpse but saw only drunk young people. Oh well. Ms. Ring Leader came over to me and said wow I can't believe he's here. Tell me, tell me where he is I said. Sure enough to my irony he was dancing right in front of us wearing plaid pants. The ring leader and I shimmed our way in front of him and danced not believing this was Bill Murray himself. He took a good liking to the ring leader and even pinched her ass. I pulled her away asking if she was ok and crazy dancer Bill Murray yells to me "I think your friend loves me." He then grabbed her and spun her around to his hearts content. The rest of the girls in our group came over and then he proceeded to pick my roommate and the ring leader up. Awesome! I hurried over to text my lobster that I had just danced with Bill Murray. We were then kicked out of this room to the another room and decided we had had enough.

I checked to see if my lobster had text me back and to my shock and awe there was no phone but everything else was there. So I lost my phone because I called Bill Murray an old german tourist. I guess those two things cancel each other out right?? Ok below are pics of our walk over to the club. Sorry no pics of Bill as his bodyguard told me NO pics ma'am.

Third times a charm....

Hey everybody,

Location: Apt.
Temp: Cold and rainy for once (weird!)

So I've come to enjoy and hate my third week of school! I think I'm definitely learning something but what I don't know yet. Just found out I need to fly to NYC a couple of days after I graduate which will be f-ing awesome but with no money as I am a poor student who knows how that will work out. I guess I can eat Grey's Papaya Hot Dogs all day long : ).

As for me I am counting down the days for my bf to come. VERY excited as I'm soo happy to be seeing someone from back home. Not that I'm not making tons of friends here but its nice to see a familiar face once in a while to remind me of what home is. I hope he brings the smell of pollution drenched LA : ) I'm starting to hate this humidity

I have updates on Cracky, my unexpected new best friend. I've seen her sitting on the ground with about 5 bags from CVS which perplexes me because I thought crackheads don't have money. THEN I see her two days later covered up, hair combed and sweeping the sidewalk. YES, she's finally rehabing it LL (Lindsay Lohan for you none celebrity gossipers) style but the she started yelling to at everyone that walked by when we left.

As for school, I got a team that I didn't get along with and was finally relieved to get a new team but my old team member Ana Maria got stuck with a particular partner again. Oops!

AND I got to see John Stewart at the Comedy Central Festival in South Beach! YEA baby! But I couldn't take a camera in so here is some pics from the free shows.





Lots of these old ladies walking around


Cool museum



A taste of Miami Beach



Cool Art Deco Fence


A little taste of home


I'm starting to miss my asian food. Could anyone PLEASE send over a Vietnamese sandwich????
