Jessica arrives on at 11am on Saturday. I'm not checking any bags so please be prompt in picking me up PMT-okthanks. If you're interested in stalking me I'm cool with that, just please be a friendly stalker.

I leave at 9:45am on Monday that means I should leave around 7:45/8am EST.

Also I have two very important things to do while in Buffalo:

1. Stop by Hoferts in Kenmore. I have many repairs I need done on stuff and only trust them to do it. I keep having dreams about it and not getting there or being able to stop in Kenmore. I'm getting really OCD about it. I've had a baggie of stuff collecting in my apt for months now.

2. See Josh-u-a-ho. I know we don't always get along, but family is important and I'd like to see him. Plus I have a bag of DC Skate stuff I bougth for him at the DC store in Soho (after he tells me he wants Zoo York stuff). And yes I was totally out of place in there. Also it was full of hot skater dudes. I hope to find my next boyfriend there.


Ok so mainly that was a post for Paul because he told me to post my Itinerary on my journal. I guess he now only communicates with computers.

As you may or may not know I'm obsessed with blogs. What I did at work before the dawn of blogs is beyond me. I think I talked on the phone. Thank god I don't have to do that anymore.

Anyways, one of the blogs I read is Manhattan Offender. It's a friend of this kid I went to high school with and who also happens to be a writer for gawker (kinda a blog situation for people who like trashy info and nyc- perfect for me). Today I was reading his blog and found this amazing entry. If you aren't fiercely into New York and protecting it from commercialism and false perceptions that people have from watching shows like Friends then you probably won't be interested in it. However if you are you will find his post to be pure genius. It's about the show Gossip Girl. I'm not sure what channel it's on, but if I had to guess I'd say the CW because it has all the worst shows on TV rotting the brains of America's youths and teaching them that being a superficial soulless backstabbing coke whore is totally great. Ok back to my point. Read this post titled "Gossip Girl: The rape and murder of Manhattan":

Apparently today is Boss Day. I was just made aware of this fact by a co-worker. She was quite upset that we hadn't yet gotten our Office Manager a gift for this important holiday. She then went to point out that during various other holidays our Office Manger gets us "gifts". I replied to her email that it is actually the firm who provides her with money to purchase things like lunches and trinkets for us, as soon as the firm provides me with cash I'll go out and buy something too. This didn't go over too well. Really though I refuse to "celebrate" every made up holiday (sweetest day, come on WTF?) that Hallmark thinks they can market. In conclusion from this point forward let it be know that I refuse to participate in ridiculousness.

Last week my mom mentioned to me this random vacation she was going on some place in California. Being the good daughter that I am I tuned her out when she started with the "and golf and blah blah".

Fast forward to this week and the huge fires in San Diego. I get this IM from Sarah being like "Um do you know Mom is still in San Diego?". Well after reading the headlines on the front page of the NY Times I figure I should give her a call (side note e:lilho found out about the fires from PerezHilton. I found out from the NYT. Just saying..). So I call my moms cell figuring she'd be all "Hi, we're safe and on our way home." Yeah I was wrong. She was more like "Hi, our room smells like a campfire, the pool is full of soot and Steve is at the spa". I ask if she is at all concerned. She told me she can't vacation when she is seeing people with everything they own in their car because their house burned down, but her BF doesn't want to leave.

I read her the news and quoted her a few lines from news stories about how the fire ain't playin and they best get out. She is currently tracking down her BF and getting the heck out of San Diego.

Who is like "Forest fires don't scare me, I need a massage"?



Nothing says massage like this..

Me and e:lilho were just discussing my mom's evacuation from San Diego. I was telling her they have to find out how to get out because the main road might be blocked by fire.

Below is our IM conversation:

shushu1015: like they dont know how to get out of the hotel, or the city?
hlokty33: like you cant get out of SD certain ways because theres a fire in the way
shushu1015 : ok
shushu1015: so, they need to think fast
hlokty33: well its 30 miles away
shushu1015 : its like an action movie or something
hlokty33: ha ha ha
hlokty33: they just need to find another road- there is one they just have to ask where it is
shushu1015 : oh

shushu1015: but steve isnt ugly
hlokty33: um- I feel like they are similar
hlokty33 : or billy bob thorton
hlokty33 : they all have the same gruffness
shushu1015 : lol
shushu1015 : or that guy from adaptations
hlokty33 : who?
shushu1015 : chris cooper

hlokty33: he'd have to audition for the part
shushu1015: you would if you saw him
shushu1015: lol
shushu1015 : keifer sutherland

My mom is trapped. She can't get out. They actually are actually putting together an evacuation plan. e:lilho suggested they drive down to Mexico and then drive back up to AZ. Only e:lilho would think of this.

And yes I am freaking out a little. I don't want to be an orphan by forest fire.
