RECOGNIZABLE DUO DOES DAVE CHAPELLE (weak attempt at a photo essay)

So it was another 3-day weekend and as me and sari woke up to realizing the lovely notion that we both had absolutely NOTHING to do, we decided to pack our bags and create a mission: A DAVE CHAPELLE MISSION.

word on the street: dave was coming to the warfield and he was bout to do it big. of course our high class baller boyfriends did not buy us front row tickets to the show...obviously.so we had to take the situation into our own hands....




Our first stop was at the Castro Diesel, i dont know sari had to drop off keys at work and i just started looking all over the streets: apparently dave's not gay and he wasnt in the castro...


Since word on the street was Dave always likes to come into FTC we decided to head to haight where we saw Marina on the side trying to holler at some boys...


Then this damn firetruck wouldnt let us park anywhere


We figured dave was probably a music man and thought we should then head to Amoeba


Maybe he wanted to see how his DVD sales were doing?



Then we got a little sidetracked and bought this killer DVD about Video Vixens...HOT (is she woman or is she animal?!)


Maybe he wanted some new kicks...headed to ShoeBiz and of course Sari found some crazy looking Sari type shoes...


AHH AT LAST WHERE IT COULD ALL GO DOWN...FTC

So we run into our boy Brian at FTC and he tells us he hasnt come by. We stand in disbelief for a bit cause and Brian almost gets tempted to leave work and help us find him, but nothing. "He usually comes in here when hes got a show but its a holiday he aint trying to come out today..." BFox...so profound yet true. WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!

So we decide to ask for free samples at Ben & Jerry's while smoking ciggarettes to releive some of our tensions...


Which is where we find Keenan and Buddy Dan hanging out and telling us theres a private screening for his movie the next night and hes got tickets. Of course hes probably lying but nonetheless he commends us for trying. wack.



So were kinda really bummed at this point cause now we REALLY have nothing to do when we see these hot jumpersuits in the American Apparel window and decide to try them on.





THE END. (recognizable duo: easily entertained, easily distracted)



NEXT PHOTO ESSAY WE'LL TRY TO ACTUALLY GET PICTURES OF OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES OURSELVES. ITS A BAD HABIT WE'RE TRYING TO BREAK. SORRY.

GROUNDHOGS,JESUS...AND A J-O-B.

what happened i thought i was stoked cause i was thinking this groundhog character came out early and it was hot and saucy last week and now its fucking raining!?! at least that means its snowing somewhere else mmmm...oh WAIT maybe its a sign of GLOBAL FUCKING WARNING

on another note: nothing beats saturday hungover early evening naps eh round 6pm after of course calmatto with beer and lemon is mixed to make a flavorful drink just enough to feel a bit better and pass out. WHEN...about 100 cars start honking on mission street for a straight 10 minutes with balloons and american flags and signs saying: JESUS SAVES?!!?! (oh jesus freaks) did anyone see that shit?! then again what was funnier was having a 10 minute conversation later that day with sari talking about how she was stuck in parade only to realize after 10 minutes that she was talking bout the chinese new year parade.

nene and anna back me up bitches.

so ive had a nice 3week straight back in effect premiere: http://public.fotki.com/rinchenlama/back_in_effect_premieres/

I LOVE YOU LIKE A RAP KID LOVES BREAKS...


ah if you only knew.

arite im in 'blog' mode(whatever that means) and i must say: TIMING IS EVERYTHING.

i also love shine roshan.



AND WHO KNEW LOOKING FOR A JOB WOULD BECOME A FULL-TIME JOB. AAH LIFE DIRECT ME.

dear book (or for this purpose blog), this is another day in the life. a life is like a book a book is like a box. a box has six sides. Inside and outside. So, how do you get to what's inside? How do you get what's inside out? what if all your life you spend your time getting everything outside of the box in, only to realize everything that was once in is now out...Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a little lobsided a little dismangled but a beautiful box...

by the way has anyone heard the semi-new talib sucka free cd? ms.hill joint is incredibly hot. aaaand another night slips away....

2000 AND SICK...

the new year is made to bring in the new and reflect on the past...for me at least. sometimes an excuse or a reason to startover and get that clean slate. and where was i last year? well last year i had just left thailand...was there for only 5 days and left bangkok 2 hours before the tsunami (makes me wonder). todays the 7th, so by the 7th i had spent a week and half tour of myanmar (burma) and was in nepal...first time in a completely socialist country (burma), no email and no cellphones. a blessing and a threat. especially when your trying to reach loved ones who are freaking out about you and the tsunami. nonetheless it was memorable, interesting though how everything was the same and how that reflected the country. the country has got its fair share of drug traficking, revolutionary activisits (of course they are also on house arrest) and crime. but for the most part they all dress the same, look the same and lead the same lives. wether your old, young, poor, rich it just didnt matter. women an men dress the same and there lives consist of paying tributes to their temples. the stupas (temples) are covered in complete gold and some of the ruins are just breathtaking. anyway if i continue talking bout my year like this ill be here forever. so after burma i went back home to nepal where i spent new years. i hadnt been back in four years...weird how much a certain place can make all your worries go away. and thats how i started off my year last year....and how my year continued...graduated and recieved a muthafuckin BA. took my first (and defintely not my last) trip to south america. had my heart broken (yeah tear. by the fifth breakup u become numb). produced my first documentary. finally experienced the big apple. became an aunty. moved out from a place i called home with people i called family after 5 years and moved back home to the east bay. underwent knee surgery. and oh yeah im still living...my grandma turned 90 too. i probably couldnt tell you just one great memory i had in the 05 cause there were like 39. and i plan on doubling it in the 06, by:

* getting a more stable job (a place where i really beleive in what they do)
* move back to the city (maybe not for the entire year)
* learn how to fundraise and grant write so i can begin to get funding money for my next documentary and learn about how to start a non-profit
* save enough money to move to nepal or india (beg of 08)
* save enough money to live in spain for 4-5 months (end of 07)

ok so im obviously not going to accomplish all these in 2006 and i tend not to lead a life with complete certainty aka who really knows what will happen tommorrow. but this is my year where it all comes together. its my fucking year. real talk, according to the tibetan calendar 2006 is the year of the male dog and i was born in the year of the dog. your year comes every 12 years. it is a year in which you proceed with prosperity and caution. you can gain or you can lose, its all up to you and its all on you. physically, finanically and emotionally according to the buddhists its a year that can go in either direction.

on that note: this year was a blurr
funny how shit can change and switch up fragile to ripp on you. ive spent too much of my young life just trying to stich shit up im living day by day now every step is play by play hand to mouth im going to make the moments count. working my way up from the bottom to the top of the ladder and claim what is rightfully mine. starting to see the picture painted and what my destiny is fated for. and its not for easy times but i put my heart in it. im ready.

I DEDICATE 2006 TO ALL THE SHIT I HAVENT SEEN AND TO EVERYTHING IVE BEEN THROUGH
myanmar (burma)
yangon bus
ruins in bagan
bikes on boats
nepal
bishaal bazaar
thamel street scene
