Gung Hay Fat Choy, y'all!

Happy Chinese New Year! The Chinese new year actually started January 23rd, but San Francisco Chinatown festivities were this weekend.

Reporting live from the night parade...

YEAR OF THE DRAGON! THIS IS MY YEAR!



This is the best dim sum spot in SF Chinatown. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall, but it transforms when you walk in, and non-Chinese don't know about it! I won't even tell you it's name!!


2 Taro Milk Tea (extra boba)

cotton candy nails (OPI "Lucky Lucky Lavender" + Forever 21 "Aqua")

I went to Chicago to visit my sister and hoped to see snow, alas it was a "warm" weekend.

We stayed at the Hard Rock Chicago. Their website showcased a Beatles themed bathroom and I was disappointed to see Bono in ours.


I finally saw THE BEAN. This European wedding party did a guerilla photoshoot. It was maybe 40 degrees, those bridesmaids were shivering.

THIS IS MY FRIEND, THE BEAN




I leave you with this video from The Buried Life...

I moved to San Francisco

I put down the window and this monkey greeted me.

My flight arrived at 8pm, and Mona's flight was delayed and arrived at 11pm. This is the body she saw when she arrived.

Mona blended right in with the servers of the restaurant.

Big sista got a new curling wand, so as the little sista I became the test dummie.

Matt Skiba did a solo show at Slim's. It was my first show in SF, and Slim's is a great venue. Matt Skiba is a dreamboat.

Michele's friend made coleslaw for a dinner party, and everybody was amazed by the size of this bowl.

Pixar is in Oakland!


Michele's friend Joy took me to see the De Young Tower!


OG Google map of the bay area - Joy is helping to convey how huge this map is.

Joy said there is bison at Golden Gate Park and I said WHAAAAAAT LIKE THE BUFFALO?? BISON!!!!!

Afterwards we hit up the Sutro Baths. This was a privately owned swimming pool complex in the early 1900s. I took better pics on my digital camera, but I left my USB cord in Florida..so those pics will come at the end of the month, STOP CRYING.

Blackberry shit pics of amazing things will have to do for now.

Joy brought apples and peanut butter as a snack. Why haven't I eaten this before? SMART AND DELICIOUS

I moved to California because I heard there is gold out here. Everyone has been so welcoming, it's really amazing.

Last week in Florida

Ileana took me to El Jefe Luchador and our lives changed.

IT WAS SO GOOD I WENT HOME AND YELPED ABOUT IT RIGHT AWAY. I never do that..but I had to tell someone...their name is Yelp. The grilled mahi fish taco was on point tho. I felt like I was back in LA eating from a taco truck.

My date engulfed in the hockey game. She loves chocolate milk shakes.

We went to Target to get milk and creamer, but the shoes were on sale so....

My mom kept saying "take some carambola for Kiersten" and I'm like "WHAT IS CARAMBOLA" which is just the real name for starfruit.

No jamaican fruit for puppies! Sorry Hank!


Kiersten bought the Kardashian OPI - "Rainbow in the S-Kylie" and it instantly makes any nail a party nail.

My sweet sweet Elena, and some sweet sweet irish car bombs

THE TRIPLETS!!!!! They came from the same womb, on the same day back in 1986.

When Ileana took me to El Jefe Luchador, I immediately thought, I GOTTA TAKE ELENA HERE. SHE WILL LOVE IT.








Elena has so much vinyl. Her collection is NO JOKE





Elena just got instagram, and maybe it's a good thing that I don't have an iPhone. Otherwise all I would do is take pictures with other people's dogs and then use a cool filter.

Lola is a rat dog. The only chihuahua I will love.



So back at my old job we used to have leftover birthday cake all the time. One time I smushed a piece and it is seriously the greatest feeling between your fingers. WARNING: You need Dawn near by to wash off the grease from all frostings. ANYHOO, The cheesecake factory gives you way too much whip cream with your cheesecake. Even though I was with my parents, I went and smushed it. and then told my dad YOU GOTTA SMUSH IT.


<3

NEW FOUND GLORY + SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR = HAPPINESS

This caught our eye and we still don't understand it. Brian got it and said they basically fry kool-aid slushie balls..but still.. what????

YO THEY PLAYED "HOLD MY HAND" and "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT" -- KIERSTEN AND I WERE SO HAPPY. They didn't play anything from Coming Home on the last tour.

New Found Glory can get it.


Old timey photos are now tradition.

NO ONE TELLS US WHAT TO DO

2012 one day at a time

True love

True fatties

Caitlin said my hair is the longest she's ever dealt with. The last time a short-haired felicia roamed the earth was maybe 10th grade.

Eric got this heavy duty mask for Christmas. It's plaster or ceramic? Something so heavy that there is built in velcro strips to strap it to your face. Kiersten is so serious.

New Year's Eve we saw Dead To Me play in Lake Worth. Cobra Skulls was the last band I saw in 2011 and the first band I saw in 2012.

Someone gave us shots of Crunk Juice? ughhh..

Kiersten was my first hug of the new year <3


Elena and I went to Miami for the next round of Ford's Escape Routes casting.. if we make it on TV, my head might explode, or we'll win $100,000 and 2 brand new 2013 Ford Escapes.

Tonight I went with Mr. and Mrs. Juice to the Panther's game. During the kiss cam, a man with long hair kissed his girlfriend, and Eric's Dad yelled out "LESBIANS!"

See ya 2011!

Goodbye old friend.








While enjoying a Middle Eastern feast, this belly dancing gypsy came out with candles on her head??

I taught my little cousin the "Boop" from Super Bad.



This is how I personalize gifts




This is the realest card I ever received.


These are some of the best tweets I read this year:

@robhuebel - FREE FLU SHOTS at my place! (that's code. found some horse tranquilizers. be cool. we're in the garage)

@itsahumanzoo - Driving home from Vegas, eating Jack in the Box chicken tenders and thinking of @fuhleeshuh

@bobbyhundreds - Audi, that's too many Venn diagrams for one car.

@THEARABPARROT - Rodney king got beatdown 20 years ago today. Shout out to my 19 year olds

@legendre - Retweeted for awkwardness... @XChadballX: @yelyahwilliams yeah I remember 1999! I was on tour opening for Less Than Jake and you were 11.

@JordanETID - did Drake really just slip in the line "crack a window" while trying to rap romance Rihanna? That's so Al Bundy of him

@EpicMealTime - Is it cooler that Taco Bell meat is squirted out of guns or that McDonalds burgers come out of drawers?

@ConanOBrien  - It’s tough sharing a birthday with Kourtney Kardashian. Our friends never know which party to go to.

These are some of the best tweets I wrote this year (narcissistic, I knowww, but when I was twitter reviewing 2011 I laughed at myself when I came across these):

@fuhleeshuh - Joseph Gordon-Levitt is my favorite Chinese actor

@fuhleeshuh - The happiest supershuttle driver greeted me with "goodmorning ms felicia" and I felt like he was morgan freeman and I was ms daisy

@fuhleeshuh - Livejournal entry from 2004 -- "I got a new cell phone today, Nokia 3595! It's so cool! There is a stop watch on this thing!"

2011 was a rollercoaster for me and I'm really glad 2012 is a few hours away. Time to start fresh in the new year! Yiiiiiiipppppppeeeeeeeeeeeee!
