Welcome

Welcome to all the newbies!!! I hope you enjoy the site. I made an elmwoodstrip.com tshirt last night and it definetely looks like the work of a kindergardner, a slightly sophisticated but a five year old none the less. You can see it today out on the streets on me. I have become an advertising whore for this site, I just can't get enough.

See You On the Street

Everyone look for me and Jill tomorrow with the video camera at the Pride Parade and festivities. We will be the ones in elmwoodstrip.com tshirts obnoxiously using a camcorder and microphone to tape footage for elmwoodstrip.com and hopefully getting some more people to sign up. If you see us say hi or wave or talk to our camera or tell us we're hot. Whatever you think is most importnat. When we were trying to decide what to ask people on camera tomorrow we thouight maybe we could ask all questions about ourselves like:
1. Do you think we look like a couple?
2. Are we hot?
3. COuld I stand to lose a few pounds?
4. Would JIll be better as a blonde?

or we could ask questions pertaining to the event I suppose but that is not nearly as fun. See you tomorrow!!!

Fit but You Know It

I was just watching the video for Fit but You Know It by The Streets. It is a really good video. If you have itunes it is free to watch at the itunes store. I think it is a new feature that you can watch tons of music videos for free. How fun!

Sunglasses means Summer

I love sunglasses. There is something so inherently nice weather about them that puts a smile on my face. They are my essential summer love. I just bought another pair today. Brown ones at Kaufmanns b/c I don't have any brown ones. I was going to buy two pairs but I was respnsible and only bought one considering I already have at least 3 other pairs I like and numerous ones I don't really wear that often. Sunglasses are so fun though!

Name Your Pleasure at Elmwoodstrip.com

Hopefully some of you are reading this for the first time since last night Me, Teres, Jill and Paul plastered the elmwood area with elmwoodstrip.com sidewalk chalk ads and paper bookmarky things. We really tried to make the ads relevant to where we put them and make them engaging for the reader. If you are readiding this for the first time I think you should sign up because reading them is only half the fun as reading and writing. Enjoy

Feel free to email me with the link on the right if you have any questions.

P.S. If by some crazy coincidence you decide to go back and read old journal entries, you might want to skip over my early ones from around sep. 2003 when the site started. I got a little crazy and seriuly wrote like thousands upon thousands of words in each entry. I don't recommend that.

Sorry this entry was kinda boring and newslike.

Summer Cold

Well wouldn't you know. After eating 12 slices of bacon in one sitting about two weeks ago I decided maybe I needed to be a little more healthy. Not like lose weight really but just be more healthy so I have been going walking everyday and trying to eat a little bit healthier. And what do I get for that? I've had a freakin cold for the last few days. A cold in the summer, how ridiculous especially when added to my allergies it makes me at minimum a box a day nose blower right now. It is insane. But I think I may just know how to cure it.... a pound of bacon and french fries with blue cheese.

Thank You vs. Have A Nice Day

An old man at work today told me that Have A Nice Day is a meaningless phrase and he will not and that he was once in retail and they said "Thanks its been a pleasure doing business with you" basically implying I was rude. Well let me tell you sir that I get numerous comments about how nice I am and how much the customers miss me when I am on vacation. Amd frankly i rather be told have a nice day, i think it sounds better and offers a promise of a better rest of the day, and makes our customer/salesperson relationship closer and less business like. All I"m saying is I don't get many complaints, so shut up stupid old man.

Would you like fries with that?

Apparently a lot of people are saying yes. According to the current issue of Time magazine's report on obesity 25% of vegetables eaten in the U.S. are French fries. Oh my that is a crazy amount. Whats even crazier is that most likely me and my coworkers at Eckerd are likely responsible for about 50% of that french fry consumption, with blue cheese of course.

Stop chasing my cat

So my last entry was about being home at 1030 but then me and Jill decided to go for a walk around Elmwwod and Ashland and the other parallel street on the other side at around 1130 and we came across like crazy maniacs because

1. While trying to write down a phone number for an apartment for rent we had to sorta go up to this porch cuz it was dark and the number was covered and then the motion sensor went off and we ran and screamed and looked kinda like burglars...

2. At another house down the street we were staring in the hallway cuz the door was opened and it looked like there was like a photoshoot setup or something. So we stared and stared and then a guy who supposedly lived there showed up in the doorway and freaked us out and we screamed again but he was actually very nice about it... leading us to believe that he was actually a serial killer about to kill the people inside and then take their picture b/c you wouldn't be so nice if it was actaully your house these two crazy kids were staring into.

3. Slightly further down the street Jill starts calling to a cat to come over cuz she loves cats and then the girl in the house starts screaming from the window "stop chasing my cat"

All in all I think we scared the entire population of Ashland and won't be welcomed back soon. But we did have fun and that's what really counts right?

3.
