I Want Pyrotechnics!

I know they're mocking him, but how cool would it be to blow something up every time you said AWESOME!?

That'd be just...well, AWESOME!

GO BLUE!

Come on Baby Manning! Win big in Lambeau.
I mean, much love and props to Favre (his name is just fun to say). But my loyalty lies with the home team. Plus, we have better colors!
Oh, and go Chargers! Beat the Pats. Pats suck!

GIANTS GO TO SUPER BOWL XLII!!!

Backstreet Boys!

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 04:51:31 GMT

Backstreet's back, ALL RIGHT! Oh, come on. Who doesn't know the lyrics to Quit Playing Games with My Heart? Granted it doesn't have the fun Bye Bye Bye dance, but still. Bring on the boy band!

What? Britney's stuck in rehab and all the new American Idols suck.

Pot Pie!

I smell like pot pie. Went to Tea & Sympathy to have some comforting Brit food and it was gooooooooooood. Too bad I still smell like pot pie and crumpets. But when you want a good sticky toffee pudding, no one makes it better than the Brits. Oh, and of course, a good ribena.

Monday I go to a smoking club for a company party. Alas, my wool coat will need much dry-cleaning. And a good spritz of perfume. Oy!

You Know You're Old When...

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 02:55:20 GMT

you shift your weight a lil' funny and now your knee has locked up and you can't bend it! OW!

Remember the good old days when you could fall down, bounce on your knees, and nothing? You could also do a split and touch your toes without making funny noises.

Those days are behind me. And if I could twist without fear of putting my back out, I would reminisces. But I FEAR the repercussions. I was never circus freak flexible. But I could at least stand up without fear of taking MYSELF out. Sheesh.

What damage will I do to myself in yoga class? Man. This won't end well for me.

NO!

What is happening to my New York Yankees? Torre's out. A.Rod's out. Crud. Who else? I know Mo's probably gonna go since he only came back this season for Torre. Jorge's a free agent so he's up for grabs. And who doesn't want a catcher w/an 0.382 ERA? I can't handle it.

Well, at least my Giants won today. And across the pond too. That's how you represent! Go Giants! Eli Manning even ran in a TD. Who knew he could scramble like that?

While I'm typing this, I'm being dive bombed by psychotic mosquito. This is the 6th mosquito I've had to mess with this weekend. It's 40 degrees outside. Why aren't these things DEAD by now? Seriously.

Ok. That's enough of my Sunday ramblings. I'm going to light a citronella candle (far from flammable objects) and TRY to get some sleep tonight.

It's Not Easy...

Being a New York fan. Especially now that Torre's out of the picture. The Yankees were the only NY team you could COUNT on to bring you to the post-season.

Used to be able to say that for the Knicks too. But now look at them. Alan Houston threw in the towel before the season even started. Probably figured the organization couldn't pay him what with the $64 mil they owe Brown b/c Thomas can't keep it in his pants. And WTF?! Thomas wasn't even a Knick. He was a friggin' Piston. Don't hire the opposing team! Sheesh.

The Rangers are in a slump. So now, the pressure is on Eli. I NEED the Giants to win. Because I don't think I can go through the winter months without a WINNING team to root for. WIN, Eli. Don't let Peyton rub it in your face. You can win too!

I'm not a big sports person, mind you. But it's a good diversion. And it helps when you're stuck playing wingman at bars with your girlfriends to be able to entertain yourself with the game.

I Miss Maury

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 03:46:52 GMT

Whoa. I don't know how I used to handle full-time school AND work. I've been a freelancer for 2+ years now and I got to set my own hours. I'd roll my butt out of bed around 11 am and work in my pjs and slippers. I'd watch Maury or The View, a whole slew of re-runs of Living Single and Mad About You. Very relaxing.

But alas, I missed having a steady paycheck. So I took a full-time job that started Monday. Geez. I forgot how annoying commuting is and how uncomfortable work clothing are. I missed my Hello Kitty pjs and new episodes of Maury. Who IS your baby's dady? And Oprah. And the random Lifetime movie that would somehow enthrall you in the middle of the afternoon.

The worst part of it all is, I've been on the job 5 days, and I've worked late every freaking day. Even my first day. When I had NO work. I still don't totally know what I'm suppose to do because the person who's suppose to train me is out of the office. But everyone else in the office is mad busy. I feel so useless there and I want to help. But no one has time to SHOW me what to do.

I'm exhausted when I get home too. Which is weird because I haven't done anything. It's all so weird. I don't like this. I want to go back to watching TV in my Hello Kitty pjs screaming, along with the crowd, who IS your baby's daddy?!

Support the Monks!

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:18:42 GMT

The monks of Myanmar are leading the Democratic revolution. And they're being shot! The wrongness of this is unmeasurable. Dude, you don't shoot the monks. Buddha said so!

Even if you're not Buddhist, come on! You don't shoot the monk. It's like slapping a nun. You just don't do it. You KNOW you're going to hell for that one.

Besides, didn't they ever watch Shaolin movies? Don't mess with the monks. They can make their robes fly about and choke you.

Say NO to the Goatee

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:43:33 GMT

MORE drama on The Hills. Whitney, DUH you don't party with the band. In what la la land you living in where you thought it was professional to party with the people you have to supervise? You're the EDITOR now. There is no fun in being the editor. Plus, hello? They called for Jagermeister shots. You REALLY thought they'd get to the shoot on time? What were you smoking?

And what's with that NASTY goatee Spencer's sporting? His hair's so light it's not noticeable until you get really close. And then it's like...dude, what is on your face?

I'm all for the scruffy look, but it's not for everyone. Play it safe, boys. Go clean cut. You can't go wrong looking more Abercrombie & Fitch than Fields & Streams.

And lookit the new Yankee uniforms. Nice.
