golly sandra, you've grown up really crazy

long time, no update!

have been enjoying the beginning of summer break. can only hope that i can manage to save some amount of money so i can do a bit of traveling during my last summer vacation ever, or as they say in spanish, mi vacacion de.. okay that doesn't work. i just really wanted to use the word "ultimo" but i'm afraid that was a FAIL.

last wed, saw the yoshida brothers @ the el rey with my parents. this is srs guise. if you think guitar solos are impressive... to call a shamisen solo "impressive" would be an understatement. it was ridic freaking incredible. so much fun, gorgeous lighting, they brought out a dj and also a drummer. it was megauberincreíblespectacular. my dad made fun of me for showing a sudden interest in (my) culture... but whatev. music is music. [you may recognize their song as the one in the nintendo wii ads]

last thurs, saw eisley (for the first time, i might add) with irene and bn, both of whom i probably haven't seen in months, if not 1/2 a year. i really liked the show, it was difficult for me as i didn't own either of their cds prior to seeing them (but promptly bought 2 as the show went on)... but it was still fantastic and i really love their voices together. the crowd was pretty sedate which was helpful... somehow i don't see "moshing" and "eisley" going together. but to each their own.

excited for summer. hopefully hitting up at least one of the noy/the graduate shows. then a few dates of warped tour (in style, of course). what's this i hear about my youth slipping away? good. i'm pretty sure it was just a rumor.

now i really should get back to what i was working on, and stop procrastinating. i'll try to get some more photos up by the end of the month. no promises though. oh, and i've finished all the twilight books, if anyone wants to discuss. haha
