Socal Trip!

FINALLY! hahaha...

I'll go with my usual highlights.

Thursday
-Years of experience have contributed to me knowing one thing as an absolute universal truth - road trips always start late.
-The 101 and the 1 are very different once you past Santa Cruz.
-Rachel Ray's choice of restaurant in San Luis Obispo is meh. I'm not really into it.
-Yes that's right. I said Rachel Ray. I was experimenting, so shut your face.
-One place where you can always find a reliable public bathroom? The bowling alley.
-Santa Barbara is incredibly pretty!
-Window stains can deceptively appear as UFO-like objects in pictures.
-The 101 and 405 both incredibly suck during traffic!
-The Hyatt in Garden Grove is awesome! but they should be UNION!
-WARNING - Any drink containers at the Vui House with broken seal caps should only be consumed if you intend to get drunk. They DO NOT have non-alcoholic drinks sitting around.
-What can replace a big-screen TV? The table the holds the DVD player that used to connect to it. It's very entertaining.
-The Love Jar is a public jar that holds condoms and gum. Genius. The only thing that could make it better is sample sized deodorant.
-NO ON PROP 8!

Friday
-Bow ties are totally in.
-Brodards is my FAVORITE RESTAURANT!
-Newport Beach is heeeelllllllaaaa nice!
-Eric Tran is heeeellllllaaaaaa rich!
-I owe Jess an island and a beach house, not necessarily in that order, but within a reasonable time frame, like 10 years.
-Jess should never be president, because she has a tendency to push buttons that people tell her not to.
-It is generally considered good customer service to tell your customers that the reservation that they made to go whale watching had to be reconsidered BEFORE they walk into the store expecting to go whale watching.
-Hydraulic lifts can be used to maximize parking space.
-Manhattan Supper Club - expensive, but worth the price
-Sorry about missing Sultra Lounge!
-I owe Lisa Ton lobster and steak. (lobster and steak need not actually be lobster and stack. i.e., lobster can be replaced with fries and steak can be replaced with cup-o-noodles.)
-A Vietnamese restaurant without Che! It's possible! It sucks, but it's possible.
-NO ON PROP 8!

Saturday
-If with Victor Nguyen-Lieu, get dim sum. He can hook it up.
-BITCH! I don't know yo' life!
-If Jess goes to an aquarium, then she craves sushi.
-Nemo now comes in different colors. Collect them all!
-Jess's tendency to push buttons that people tell her not to seems to include sharp coral that nearby signs tell her not to touch.
-"It's okay if it's poisonous! I have health insurance!"
-Best NO ON PROP 8 picture ever!
-Kids can be cockblocked too. Case in point: Jessica cuts in front of two 6-year-olds to take a picture with the Otter mascot. She then points and laughs at the kids.
-Some fish go from female to male when they stress out. My logic for this is because guys are more chill. Stop stressin out, or you'll change sexes.
-Shark poo tastes like chocolate.
-Oh wait, it is chocolate.
-What do you do if you go to a bar where all the bartenders are wearing two-pieces, and then your friends want to leave early for karaoke? You give the bartenders hugs. Go Hai.
-Happy birthday to Jess and Tam! Birthday shots for all! haha...
-NO ON PROP 8!

Sunday
-Buffalo, can you go! Buffalo, can you go!
-Whenever Tam is talking to someone he thinks is important, smack his ass. Hard. In front of that person.
-Nha Hang 1.99, are you outta yo mind!
-Tet 2010? The greater the gamble, the greater the gain, but also harder the fall.
-Pageants do not develop new leadership talents. They only bring out what is already there.
-NO ON PROP 8!

Monday
-Thanks to Lilly and Kim Chi for visiting me!
-Come down on the 101, go back up on the 5 (why drive 8 hours on the wrong side of the freeway? You can't see anything anyway!)
-THANKS TO SOCALERS FOR BEING HOSPITABLE!
-NO ON PROP 8!
