I've been working at my cousins' supermarket in San Jose. Although the original Lucky 7 Supermarket is an Asian store, the second branch on Tully mainly targets Mexicans.

So after about 7-8 straight hours spent in that store, not only do I smell like stale recycled supermarket air, there's also a tinge of Mexican food clinging to me also. Sweeeet. "Well, you know I've always liked supermarkets, and I'm down with the Mexicans too!" Hahaha...thanks, Mike.

Saw I, Robot - entertaining. Will Smith is huuuuge [but in an oh-so-good way ;) ]. Now I want to read Asimov's I, Robot. I figure reading it afterward is the best sequence to enjoy both the movie and collection of shorts stories since the book is almost always better.

Besides, I cannot fully become the sci-fi geek girl until I've read Asimov, eh? At least Gibson's Neuromancer is almost under my belt. Cyber punk geeky! Yeah!

I hate having a good mood ruined. The drop is so much more dramatic...and all those unhappy thoughts come. Ugh. It's all rather hopeless, huh? Nothing's ever quite right.

Oh well. Chug chug.

The song below is so absolutely angsty. Ah, 10 Things I Hate About You, that great high school favorite :)

"The Weakness in Me" -Joan Armatrading

i'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
but to you i gave my affection right from the start
i have a lover who loves me, how could i break such a heart?
yet still you get my attention

why do you come here when you know i've got troubles enough?
why do you call me when you know i can't answer the phone?
make me lie when i don't want to
and make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
you make me stay when i should not
are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?

why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by?
when i mean to see you
and i mean to hold you
tightly

feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep
this old love has me bound, but the new love cuts deep
if i choose now, i'll lose out, one of you has to fall
and i need you
and you

why do you come here when you know i've got troubles enough?
why do you call me when you know i can't answer the phone?
make me lie when i don't want to
and make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
you make me stay when i should not
are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?

why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by?
when i mean to see you
and i mean to hold you
tightly
