Inglourious weekend

Yay, the weekend is here!

Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on some sleep and reset my clock to Cali time. I also want to catch up on my movies. I still haven't seen Julie & Julia and Time Traveler's Wife. I want the boyfriend to see (500) Days of summer so I could convince him to split a loft in downtown with me.

I just got a preview of an 1100sqft loft in downtown for $1450 a month. Now do I do move to LA for the next year, or just save my money so I can move to NY next spring? It's such a good deal that I don't want to let the opportunity pass, but I don't want to spend all my "New York move" savings.

Everyone should go watch Inglourious Basterds this weekend. I was so surprised that I really liked it. I went into it thinking, Tarantino is too gory for me, but this movie kicked ass. Diane Kruger is so cute, and I <3 Melanie Laurent.

Summer in full swing

Summer is almost over, but I'm just getting started.

I spent the first two weeks of August in China. A friend got married and almost the entire wedding party traveled around Asia afterward. We went to Beijing to hit up the The Great Wall, Summer Palace, Bird's Nest, etc. We also spend two days in Shanghai, but there wasn't much to do there but shop and eat.

Everyone was passing some sort of bug around and I caught it at the end of our trip. I think I lost a good 7 lbs because of that. Not a great way to lose weight, but it got the job done. HAHA too bad it's taking me just as fast to put the weight back on. (Stupid yummy Wynn buffet)

Thank goodness for the jetlag because partying the entire weekend in Vegas would not have been possible without it. I've been wanting to go to Encore XS for the longest time and it really was one of the best times I had in Vegas! Now it's time to rest up until September rolls around. It's birthday month (4 to be exact). And then Hawaii!!!!
