OC Cast

Today I stumbled across this little gem......

You're Welcome.

Meet Venice

This is the kitten I got. She is not really a kitten anymore cuz I've had her for a couple months now, perhaps a kittween. But she's really cute. My mom is convinced her mother mated with a raccoon. Can't be sure. You should come meet her, she is currently in my garage chasing ping pong balls so she wont jump on my laptop while I write papers. Yay for Venezia.

she's pretty cute

but kind of reallly cross eyed

so, since she probably sees 4 brents in that fishbowl instead of 1, he is probably safe but just in case i took precautionary measures...

And, since she nearly knocked down the Christmas tree and took half the ornaments with her, I think it's time to put this little present from A. Scott to good use....

The Tool Chart

I cannot take all the credit for this flawless system of determing whether or not boys are date material or not. In one of our multiple senior years of college, Vicky & I (with some help and inspiration from CarrotTop) came up with this brilliant system of [somewhat] objectively determing whether boys were simply worth it or not.

All too often, girls will have blinders on whilst dating and no matter how many times their friends tell them 'he's a tool', she will continue on in a relationship with a boy whom she will later be disgusted by the fact that she even went out with once. Or, maybe she is unsure about the guy and needs to weigh the pros and cons. Well, here is the unbeatable system of determining if you really have found Mr. Right.

And while I personally think this criteria is universal and infallible, some may change the categories of the tool chart to fit their own preferences. Be warned however, trying to change the tool chart criteria while in the relationship often means you've got a case of the blinders, and you're just trying to rationalize. Think about it.

Simply fill out the columns and add up the points, it's that simple.

[These are real examples, actual names have been omitted for privacy and shame prevention]

And a little tool chart guide for you:

20+ = TOOL CITY- what were you thinking!?

12+ = DUMP HIM

6-12 = VAMOS A VER

0-6 = MARRY HIM!

{I wonder if PT school will accept this as my Masters Thesis?}

My Los Angeles Dodgers

Dear Dodgers,

It's okay that we lost the first game, let's hang in there and make it to the world series. I know you can do it. Don't let the Phillies stand in your way once again, we're better than that. Just know, that whatever happens, I'm yours.

Always and Forever,

L. Nugglesworth, Dodger Fan

I love the Dodgers. And California. That is all.

P.S. Andre Ethier: Marry me? thx. xoxo.

Ketchup ((like, catch-up))

Yes, Tippy that was a random 'haven't blogged in forever blog'. So here is my catch up- I went to Italy, I went to New Jersey and New York to visit Veronica, (I actually did sorta blog about those trips here: http://web.mac.com/nugglesworth/Nugg/Blog/Blog.html) we moved to a new house a block closer to the beach and a lot closer to my favorite taco establishment, then I had 6 grueling weeks of summer school, one week off to hit the beach with the family, and now I am back in all day everyday school. Here's a few highlights: 

I took this video after having to listen to this for a block on Main Street, why would anyone ever buy their child these flip flops.....?

Went to a Beyonce concert [[she is A-MAZING]]:

Sarah came to visit and I tried working on my portrait taking skills since thus far I seem to only be into photographing landscape:

Hung you with my cousins, and friend...
Spent some time at Disneyland...

I hit the beach with my family...

This is my 6 year old nephew, look out for him in surfing magazines in about 10 years....
We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of my sister's 4th boy : )

And last, here are the people I spend all day everyday with, CSULB's Physical Therapy Class of 2012...

2 days, 300 Miles

So my car was low on coolant, naturally I ignored that for a couple days. Well, apparently it was a coolant emergency cuz then my car was smoking when I got to school. Seven hundred dollars and a new radiator later, the Chief is back in action. But, I needed a car to drive to school the two days Chief was out of commission. Well, Sean at Hertz said he wanted to make my day and surprised me with a free car upgrade, he even put the top down for me to peel out of the parking lot in style;








A 2010 Mustang convertible. So I put over 300 miles on it in 2 days. It definitely softened the blow of paying for car repairs. And let me tell you, there is nothing like driving down PCH on a sunny day with the top down. Thank you Sean from Hertz.

Twilight

If you watched the movie, you'll probably appreciate this...

Finals

It's finals week. Which means massive amounts of soda, candy & finding anything online to distract myself from what I need to study. Like blogging. Or thinking about where I'm going to be in exactly ONE WEEK:




Yes, I'm actually going to Italy- not the venetian in Vegas. A ten day tour of Italy. Self guided of course. I can't wait.....but maybe I should work on studying for those finals first....

Melissa Morales, MSW

Ever since the first time we met and she expressed her love for my over the top Dodger shoes, I knew it was going to be a true, lasting friendship. THIS GIRL (thumbs pointed at myself) LOVES Melissa Morales! I don't know what I ever did without her. She makes Huntington Beach that much better. And I hope she stays here ...... for a very long time.... like say, more than the summer : ) She is graduating from USC and so this is a tribute you, Melissa! Love you!

Pierside Pistols

We are the Pierside Pistols, Huntington Beach's premier powderpuff football team. This Saturday's victim: Palo Alto. All the single ladies of Stanford drove down here for the sole purpose of having some actual competition (apparently San Francisco's team did not provide such). Well, we hope you enjoyed the beach as a consolation prize because final score: Pierside Pistols 13, Palo Alto Bumblebees: 0.

Boo- Yah!

Swine Flu

I don't believe it's as serious as the media makes it out to be. But either way, I couldn't have picked a better week to feed my teacher's pigs and other farm animals. Especially the 3 sick pigs i had to hand feed separately....

The goats were pretty cool though...

And as for Fish Sticks and Mr. Chips, well I just tried to stay out of their way...

My New Favorite Place

Ever since I was introduced by my classmate Jess who I came here to study with last week, the Huntington Beach Library and I have been inseparable. It's my new favorite place and I just love it! It's in the middle of Central Park in Huntington which is this crazy huge park with trails and trees and ponds and fountains and botanical gardens and even a couple cafes. The library is really awesome it has huge glass windows so you can overlook the park and the water as you study and it gets tons of light and is spaced out. Oh man, I just love going here to study, it doesn't feel like I'm being locked in cubicle in the basement.  And after it closed today, Niko & I went around and took some pictures in the park so I thought I'd share.....
