David Carradine Found Dead

I was shocked to see in the news today that David Carradine was found dead hanging from the ceiling of his hotel room in Bangkok yesterday. I've never followed his career and the only movies I've seen him in are the Kill Bill movies, but I think I'm correct in saying that he was all about nature, tranquility, zen, stuff like that? And to die in this fashion just seems out of character! Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about and my 94 bug bites is making me a little crazy. Or maybe I shouldn't take what I see on the big screen and think it's real life!

That reminds me of a story one of my kinesiology teachers told us a long time ago. I took his walking class (yes, I took walking! Stop laughing!!), but he was also the wrestling coach. One day, two girls went up to him and asked him if Bailey was a good wrestler. He was confused. Who is Bailey? The girls explained, "You know, he's on 'Party of Five' and is on your wrestling team."

HA!!

Wow. There are some stupid people out there, and these two girls get gold stars for being the stupidest of the bunch.


So to explain the story a bit, Bailey, the character from this show, was supposedly a wrestler on the SFSU's wrestling team. These idiot girls thought he's actually on the real team that exists in real life... I wonder what those girls are doing now...

Puerto Rican Food

For the most part, I wasn't a huge fan of Puerto Rican food. A lot of the stuff we ate were deep fried. After the first couple of days, I was just craving vegetables and something healthy! I'm telling ya, I won't be eating sweet plantains for a long while! While I can't say that I love Puerto Rican food, I did eat some things that were pretty darn good.

We ate at a restaurant along the "Santana Row" of Vieques (island east of the main island of Puerto Rico) called Mucho Gusto. One dish worth mentioning is their Puerto Rican shrimp gumbo. A little spicy and a lot yummy. Unfortunately, we went back a couple of days later for the same thing, but it didn't have the same kick.


The best thing I had during my trip is definitely the coconut flan. Oh dear mother of god. What a slice of heaven... The flan was light and not too sweet. Pieces of fresh young coconut were used. On top of the flan was a layer of condensed milk, and piled on top a gargantuan dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon. I get chills all over my body just thinking about it. Was that a small orgasm?


Since Vieques has to import everything from the main island, it's pretty common to run out of things. I believe every single restaurant we went to, the server had to tell us what they didn't have on the menu. The funniest and most surprising was when we went to a ceviche bar but they didn't have any ceviche. That was a major disappointment!!

94 Souvenirs from Puerto Rico

I came back with 94+ souvenirs from Puerto Rico. I am adorned with nearly a hundred bites on my arms and legs. Most are from mosquitoes and some are from sand fleas. I'm itchy like a mofo! Such evil creatures... Just looking at their tracks make me cringe. And this is coming from someone who LIKES bugs!

17 Mile Drive to Carmel to Big Sur

Work has been insane this past month, so I decided to take a half day and drive down the coast with the future hubby. From San Jose, we did the whole 17 Mile Drive and visited Pebble Beach, the Lone Cypress (two points of interest were closed due to the otters' or seals' mating season. bummer.), drove down through Carmel and ended up in Big Sur.

We had dinner at the loveliest restaurant on the west coast! (Loveliest I've been to at least!) It's called Nepenthe. If you're seated on the patio, you can see miles and miles of the coastline and watch the sun set while dining. If it gets chilly, you can hang out at the fire pit. The stars are ablaze at night. I can just sit there forever staring at the millions of stars. It's the coolest restaurant. So much character and so beautiful. The food was alright. Their banana cream pie was to die for though. Not too sweet. Very dangerous stuff.

Took a bunch of pics to share...

To start with, the Lone Cypress.


A little north of China Rock.

The Bigsby Bridge

And others...

Still In Love

I STILL LOVE HIM, OKAY??!! HE'S SUCH A FOX!!! I promised I wouldn't write about him again in my blog, but I can't help it. My love for him burns now stronger than ever after seeing his beautiful face on Men's Journal. That lucky wife of his...

P.S. Mr. Agent, if you happen to find me again, just fyi, I'm not a crazy fan!
P.P.S. I hope they don't have those image crawlers searching for references of him online. That exists, right??

Luckiest Guy This Week

Okay. So I'm somewhat of an American Idol fan. My dad loves it, so I watch too. I've sort of been following this season, and have seen some pretty good stuff... and crazy stuff. Remember Tatiana and Norman? OMG. So this season's shocker is Kris Allen getting into the finals. His vocals definitely aren't in the same league as the other two semi-finalists, Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey, but he's got the looks. If he never revealed that he is married, I think he may be the winner this year! But he is not single and cannot mingle, so I'm biting my nails until next Tuesday. It's going to be goooooood! So if you're not in the loop of things, here are a few pics I found online.

Kris Allen - the cutest of the three. I personally thought Matt had more sex appeal, but he's gone. :( So anyway, he should feel like the luckiest guy this week. Making it to the finals and all... Good luck, Kris! You'll need it!!


Danny Gokey - He's cute in a way, but looks much better when he doesn't smile. Looks like his tongue is pushing out of his mouth when he does! But he seems super nice though. :) I hope he does well with his career.


Adam Lambert - The favorite of this season. Though he looks like a young version of Elizabeth Taylor, he can sing like a mofo. And he's done a super job on all of the different genres that I've seen.

Alrighty! Can't wait until the finale!!
