mother's day weekend

me, lori and candice started out the weekend going to "first friday" in downtown. its a "artsy fartsy" event put on by all the galleries in the area. art-types+free food/wine+late night+chinatown=some interesting moments.

top momories include:
an angel flutest came in and started playing with wings and all.
a comment from a girl near me "oh i modeled for that". that being a sketch of a reclined nude.
an older haole man wearing a super long chinese style overcoat and huge glasses. like those big name fashoin designers.
a street clown on the corner
a crazy guy laughing, talking and pointing at someone/thing thats wasn't there.
and a big roach on the wall of maria bonitas, a mexican resturant.

interesting works:
slumped glass in iron frame. alla stained glass.
picture in picture photography
multiple wooden panels
folded inked cityscape

we were planning on eating at indigo but as they put it they were "fully spoken for" whatever...

this weekend only some shaolin monks were putting on a performance at hawaii theatre. i wanted to go but couldn't part with 35-75 bucks to watch them so, we did the next best thing and went to see kungfu hustle. what a great funny film. great story telling,fighting and effects.

mother's day was difficult because of the fact that it was my job to find a "special present" for my mom since i am soo good at picking something because i actually try. so i figured the best thing that my mom liked to do was go to vegas so the 3 of us chipped in 100 each and helped pay for a trip.

mother's day at my grandma's house involved some good korean take-out supplementing the good chinese food there. man did i reget eating that stuff. can you say EM ESS GEE man i was peeing like the girls when they are clubbing. i even had to run out of the movie :P

i also just started to sketch again. after reading some of the finest from megatokyo, powerpuff doujinshi, alita, and negi i really had the urge to draw more often. i really wanna work on faces and clothes.

also we ate at mcdonalds for lunch and tried all their new stuff. the fish bited were like mini fille-o-fish and the sauce was like the bottle of sweet chili. the fruit salad was a bit expensive and a cross between their parfait and the apple wedges. but was pretty good. the fried taro pie was decent too. lots of purple goo inside and had a mild sweet flavor.
