Life after college is a road paved with corndogs

Who else is excited to see this movie? I know I am...and really, it's not just to see a guy in tights with his red underwear outside his pants flying around. Which in it of itself, is not, like, normal. Yes, he's a superhero, yes, he has super powers, and his abilities to utilize CG in his movies are nothing short of amazing to watch. But why do I REALLY want to see this movie?






CLARK KENT! Yes, nerdy, bumbling, Clark Kent. Lois Lane never knew what she had right in front of her! Those glasses...that button up but also buttoned down businessman look...I don't know, there's just something about it that's really appealing.



I'm seeing this movie (and Clark...) next Thursday! Can't wait!




Killer Queen...oh man...I've grown to love this song after hours and hours of playing Guitar Hero on PS2...our boss got this game for the office (probably, thing that has most disturbed my workflow...) and man, I've gotten good at this game...I've gotten all the way to expert! I can truly live up to my "mySpace" profile quote - "One time I rocked so hard I killed a man..." when I was rocking out it was probably while I was playing Guitar Hero...

The real deal Peking Duck....

Little steamed buns, shreds of green onion, succulent crispy duck skin with little fat, hoisin sauce...I KNOW OF NOTHING BETTER!

Justin's Graduation at UCSC


Justin's Graduation at UCSC
Originally uploaded by HeySandra.

Yep, my brother is done and graduated from UCSC! (from business accounting) Owen and I drove to San Jose last Friday, got to meet up with some good friends on Friday night (Judy, Kelvin, Brian and Vicky...we went to this Malaysian place called "Liyang Liyang", which took forever and a day to get us seated but the food was excellent...Roti rules!) The graduation itself has to have been the most unorganized graduation I've ever been to, but most all graduations are the same (overexcited parents, bored kids who want to go to the graduation party, etc). Afterwards, we had a BBQ with TONS o FOOD courtesy of my parents. My brother's house...was...filthy. But what can you expect from college students...

So we managed to get this picture in, at the end of the night. Notice my brother's shirt...."My name is Justin...JUSTINCREDIBLE"....didn't think he'd like that shirt that much when I got it for him for his birthday!

This is a survey thing I found from here.

Name: Sandra

Occupation: Capture Cave bi-atch at Zugara

Relationship status: Taken

Location: Los Angeles, in the "armpit" between Inglewood and Ladera Heights. Not the best place to be, trust me. And no one will deliver to our house except pizza and thai! A travesty!

What did you eat today?

A leftover taco from "Tacos, por Favor" - it was a carnitas taco, with great meat and fresh onions (well, fresh from yesterday onions.), and a lashing of their salsa roja, which made the whole taco nice and spicy. And Oolong tea. Mmmm. Oh, one piece of gum. Peppermint.

What do you never eat?
ANYTHING from Red Lobster! That place is overpriced, crappy and when we had clam chowder, it came FROM A CAN *I could taste the alumnium*...so, never again! Also, I don't drink milkshakes or smoothies...not into thick liquids that are hard to consume with a straw or weird to eat with a spoon. And I'm NOT into foam meant for a latte or cappuchino. Tastes like soap scum to me.


Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator, you can always find:

Fizzy club soda water, butter, Japanese Mayo, Tofutties, Organic milk, laughing cow lite cheese wedgies, fuji apples, spinach

What is your favorite kitchen item?

Right now, it's an apple corer, that I got at Linens n Things. Super convenient and stong, does the job well for those huge fuji apples I get at Ninjya or Mitsuwa. I want one of those choppers though, where you put doomed veggie underneath, and hit the top so everything gets cut up easily...I would make SO much pico de gallo.

Where do you eat out most frequently?

Oh man. Um, there's a ton of places.

Frequency wise, it would probably be...Mitsuwa or something, or Sunny Grill down the street from work. Or tacos from Gallegos or Campos.

World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?

Dude...okay. This is going to be so gross. For starters...fake cheese nachos, with Jalepenos, with mozzerella cheese sticks on the side. Not a ton because I don't want to get too full. Probably some oysters, on the half shell. Then a mini cobb salad (warm dark meat chicken, bacon, blue cheese, eggs, not too much vinagrette dressing) to round things out. Main course would be, half a delectable turkey club from Damon and Pythias...with garlic curly fries, a side of garlic buttery mashed potatoes...PLUS, a nice prime rib cut of steak medium rare, with that horseradish sauce (almost wasabi!) Dessert would be tiramisu or creme brulee. My gut would probably bust after this. I'd probably have to throw up, but after a rest, I'd probably tackle some sushi, from Sushi Tenn. Yep. Totally disgusting...but if the world is going to end...I guess why not right?
