Bored and browsing tumblr, which I’ve never really done, I came across this photo. Amazing. Really, I love any picture of my favorite city, so this made me happy despite the fact that it’s almost ominous-looking.

Seriously. I am nowhere near old enough for birthdays to start getting depressing. Yet the little kid in me that never had a party for fear of nobody showing up has come out.

Back?

I feel like if you’re young and recently unemployed, you basically have to blog stuff. So I’ve picked this back up. We’ll see how long it lasts… It’s a gloomy, post-birthday, relatively depressing kind of day so I really have nothing better to do than share my many adventures! Perhaps I will regale you with tales of my cleaning the apartment (oh, if these dust bunnies could talk!) or making coffee (did you KNOW that you can use Bounty paper towels in place of coffee filters??) or working out (if you can’t be rich, at least be skinny, right? …or try. kinda.)!

WHEW. Writing that was the most mental effort I’ve exerted in over a week. I’m gonna go drink my paper flavored coffee and watch E! for a while…

It is amazing what one can accomplish on even half a day off. I know, you have weekends, but one free weekday in the hand is worth 2 weekend days in the bush. Or something… just go with it.

I was feverish (read: sweaty) and achy yesterday, and after calling out of work and laying around for half the day, I felt better and had a sudden burst of productivity. I cleaned. I walked. I gymmed. I laundered. I visited stores that would not normally remain open by the time I would get around to giving them my business. I even went to bed early! I think the working world would be far more productive if everyone was allowed 1 random day off a week. …Or maybe just an after-lunch naptime.

How does one end up a weather man?

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:52:00 -0400

PC terminology aside, seriously, how do you end up being a weather man? OK, clearly you need a degree in meteorology or whatever, but think about it - have you ever seen an attractive weather person? Who else would major in Meteorology (crazy pet rock guys are probably comparable to crazy old cat ladies)? I’m sure it takes a special kind of person to pass the rigorous “point at someting imaginary and say words” test, but wouldn’t they just hire a model to read things off a teleprompter or something? They’re nice and vacant; I bet they’d ROCK that test. Maybe the news networks assume you are so enthralled by the colors and lines on the map you won’t notice the overweight, old, and/or balding man speaking to you. Ugly weather men: another byproduct of a country in which the average inhabitant’s intelligence rivals that of a 4th grader.

Not all that surprising, but still...:

Thought this was interesting… I think everyone’s guilty of at least one of those. Also reminds me that I hate chain emails. (And whoever took that picture of me on the folding chair waiting for my layover flight last summer should be ashamed!)

“

Are you hungover?
[My clearly-false response: um… nooo. …why?]

Because there are three drinks sitting in front of you.

Family simultaneously breaks multiple codes of ethics and the law.:

Ok… Really?? I mean… REALLY?! First THIS and now, updates!

I couldn’t help but ponder a few things while reading this:

Who named these kids?
Oh, nevermind. The same woman who assisted their B&E and doesn’t seem to mind that they are making money off of incest on the side.
And the same woman who is wearing THAT. That goes beyond not wearing white after labor day. That’s like, don’t wear anything that’s not a burqa. Or, I guess in the rain, a tarp of some sort would be acceptable.
Is this a coincidence that they have targeted two Asian-owned stores? Hmm… hate crime?
A Toyota Sequoia? Vehicle of choice for the criminal that requires a comfortably quiet, smooth getaway with ample head room and stow-away seating!
What’s the asterisk at the end indicate? …Anyone? Anyone? …Beuller?

Blah.

It’s pouring rain… I don’t sit anywhere even remotely near a window at work and I can just tell it’s raining. Everyone’s subdued and moody. This is bringing me down. …and I love the rain! I guess sweatpants and couch rain is way different from up at 6am and sitting at a desk all day rain.

A toast to functioning alcoholism

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:09:20 -0400

A toast to functioning alcoholism:

“They’re smart, successful professionals who never miss a day’s work - the very opposite of the image of the problem drinker. Natasha Courtenay-Smith meets three upright young women who thought alcoholism would never happen to them”

This is really sad, but also kinda impressive. I mean, everyone hates life when they’re hungover on Fridays, but damn. I dunno what a “unit of alcohol” is, but I imagine it’s like one notch on a scale from Loser to Awesome.

Side Note: This chick’s a food photographer?? Is that a real thing? Where do I apply?! …and can I eat the food after I take its picture?

wow.

I’m not Irish. I’m not Catholic. I’ve never been to Ireland. But I do love me any holiday that makes it socially acceptable to be soaked in alcohol and publicly intoxicated before lunch.
