And the winner is...!

Nothing makes you feel as low as a delivery place saying you're out of their area. It's a special kind of shame that really makes you wish you made different life choices. Because of this my roommate and I have been caught in the pizza turf wars (We rep Papa John's! *v-sign "p-JOHNS!") as they're the only places close enough to deliver to us. It kinda blows. But we've always craved something more substantial. So today we made a lazy-man's bet that we'd try our darndest to see if we could find a Thai place that would deliver to us OR be forced to cook for ourselves.

It took some doing but we did it! After being told by one place with a 3 mi delivery radius that our 2.8 miles were in the wrong direction, and being hung up on by another, we ended up finding a undelicious joint that wasn't scared off by our zip code. I've never been so happy to spend $15 dollars on slightly burned rice. Turns out we'd rather eat convenience than our own cooking. So we... won?

Saga Wards

I had the opportunity to work a Hollywood awards party today. I didn't have the coolest task by any stretch of the imagination. But it did give me the opportunity to watch the show as few have. (By being quietly ghetto from the mezzanine.) I saw some of the brightest stars today like Natalie Portman, James Franco and that other one! And it was kinda awesome. But at the same time I never felt further away from fame. Now, let me just say that it's not my goal to be famous. (unless this duncess thing really takes off! *fingers crossed) And I wasn't struck by the sad realization that I haven't yet "arrived". But I was very aware that the status on my access pass meant that I could be no more than a noisy voyeur. Or, if i dared, a phantom interloper throwing pieces of pastry on Tina Fey from the shadows. I guess it's not the first time that I've felt this way, but it was solidified in the production wrap up party after the show. It was very much the "junior prom" of the celebrity after party. Full of hard working behind-the-sceners who were either just too shy or pimple-faced to be invited to the popular kids' party. But it was still pretty cool being there as I was able to jam on residual tunes leaking from the party tents and was able to eat all the snacks I could steal. Not to mention that I got paid to step into traffic. So all in all, pretty good for a Sunday.

Happiness

Being a type of woman, I sometimes watch Oprah. I watched an OLDprah on my dvr today about "Happiness". It came down to Oprah not understanding how someone who makes under 100k could be happy, but she agreed it could be supplemented by sex, close friends, relationships with neighbors, children, wide sidewalks and about 8 hours of social interaction a day. Now, before I watched it, I thought I was happy. Like the other day, I saw a pirate clown and a dead eyed baby on the bus and I just felt happy to be alive. But the show really had me thinking that I need to make my days more robust. Not just 8-hour sex sessions with my neighbor's kids on the broadest stretch of sidewalk on our block, but making sure I do at least one thing a day that makes me happy. Because if I can be on a 6-month "vacation" and still be categorically unhappy then I must not be living my best life. If only there was a sure fire way stack cheer in my favor...
I'll get back to you.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who...

...knocks over their boots at night because in the dark upright boots look like tell-tale sign of a visiting pervert ghost.

(btw, this is one of the laziest photoshoped pics i've done. but stay tuned!)

Some bad news

It turns out that I may not be able to post as frequently as I'd like. My new transitional status means that my free time'll most likely go to resting and replenishing my electrolytes. I'll try my best to maintain this momentum but I won't make any promises. For those steady five that are fans of my blog, I apologize that things are going well enough that I may not be able to dedicate as much time to posting nonsense. To those that aren't fans of my blog, let me direct your attention to the "Next blog" link at the top of this page. If random f*ck up brings you back to my blog, I hope that my future posts won't disappoint you.

Some good news

I've come into some money. Actually, I've come into the hope that I'll have some money relatively soon. Looks like I may start proper career work soon! I know I've had a couple false promises of employment, but this one looks different. I don't wanna jinx it, so that's all I'll say about that at the moment. But I'm already making plans on how to spend my first paycheck! Priority numbero ichi: Curtains.

Check out my bedroom. Now imagine it's nighttime and you're standing outside my window looking in and you can see as clearly in as you can look out my windows now. Now open your eyes. (And get your hand out of your pants.)

No curtains has (have?) made my evening rituals awkward, to say the least.

Yeah, this is almost CERTAINLY an improvement.

Mad Me

I don't download movies. I'm a big buyer of CDs, Mp3s, DVDs and other media. I even go to concerts! I'm all about support, so I don't want any judgment when I say I'm forced to stream missed episodes of programs I pay for. I've been trying to watch Mad Men on my On-Demand for AT LEAST 4 months, and I think that's ridiculous given how easy it is for information to be shared nowaydays. It's little consolation that I found a Korean sub on some forgotten website at the end of the internet that takes 3 days to load 10-minutes of episode. That is NOT why we fought that war!

Settling Affairs

Followed my brother to close his Chase Account. We wanted to get it as a cashiers check, but we decided 6 bucks is a lot of money to say "That's funny".

A Very Serious Tom & Jerry

I tivo Tom & Jerry (why not?) and came across this really odd one where Jerry and a friend try to fool Tom into thinking he's trying to kill himself in his sleep. I still may not be old enough to watch this one.
