L.A. Live

went to l.a. live yesterday with the bf. it wasn't to have fun. just to pick up some food at the lawry's there. でも、私は前々から行ってみたかったから楽しみだったの。but they were doing some event and it was hard to navigate our way around. and then we figured out it was for american idol. -___- 彼はそれを知って私よりテンション上がってた。最初は行きたくない、めんどくさいみたいな感じだったのに．．．ホントミーハーなんだから。

since we were just picking up food, we weren't able to spend too much time exploring. まだいろいろありそうだったからまた行きたいです。近いうちにまた行けたらいいなぁ～。

Electronic Vehicles

so, i went to a conference yesterday about electronic vehicles. it was for work, but it was actually kinda interesting. 思ってた以上に為になったと思う。the panelists were very fun to listen to as well, which i'm sure contributed greatly to my enjoying it.

ま、でも実際買うかどうかになったら別問題だよね。もうちょっと普及したら考えるかもだけど。even the panelists were saying, the first people to buy EVs are probably gonna lose out in the long run as better and better technology develops. right now, the automobile companies are testing the waters as well and there really isn't anything set in stone. でも、買う人がいないと普及しないだろうしね。ここは一旦様子見だね。but they did make it seem like a really good alternative to internal combustion motor cars. just that it's still developing so its really hard to tell what the future will hold. でも、いろいろが企業（三菱・日産・トヨタ）が発売にかかってるから、この先以外とうまく行くのかも？そうなったら買ってみる価値はあるかも？？

$7000!?!?!?!?

that's the x-ray of a truck that was caught crossing the guatemalan border in its attempt to smuggle people into the US. (courtesy of Wall Street Journal) is it just me or is that crazy? 閉所恐怖症だったら絶対アウトだね。めっちゃ人おるし。絶対ムシってしてるだろうし、トイレとかどうするんだろう???一日一回ぐらいは止まって行くのかな？？

what's even crazier is the amount these people paid to get smuggled into the US. $7000 per person. すごくない？？そんなに払ってまで来たいんだね。i was wondering if it was worth it but my co-worker was going on about how it's relative. considering the conditions they were living in, paying that much to get to the US is worth it. でも、よくそんな金用意できたよね。トラック一台ですっごいお金になりますな。it's a very lucrative business. high risk, high return.

お掃除

今週末はめっちゃ掃除しました。あんまり得意ではないのです。でも、がんばりました。i vacuumed, scrubbed sinks & bathtubs, did laundry, dusted, etc. 疲れた．．．but i think i did a so-so job.

also did a lot of cooking, since i won't have a lot of time during the week to do it. i like cooking so it wasn't a big deal. でも、疲れて夜10時くらいに帰って、さすがに

料理はしたくないね。で、いろいろつくり置きしたり、下準備したりしておいた。なんと大変な週末でした。

on the brighter note, i might be going to vegas in june! 行けるといいけどな。

ラルク再始動
