Carousel Center

Me and (e:jill) traveld two hours today to get to the mall in Syracuse mainy for the H&M there. I know i have mentioned it numerous times before but it is crazy that both syracuse and rochester have an H&M but not Buffalo. Anywho, it was kinda a letdown. Nothing too great though I did get a sweater and some tshirts. (e:jill) found a stella mccartney dress that was on like sale for $70 which was crazy because they were only supposed to be at the H&M's in big cities like NY and Toronot. SOmeone must have returned it there or soemthing. So that was exciting and we bought lots of stuff at other stores too but pretty much the mall there is like the Galleria except the addition of HM.

On the way home we were sooo starving and could not find a restaurant that sounded tasty at all for some reason. We ended up just about to pass out when we decided to stop at Perkins. We seriulsy were ravenous for food, soon as we sat down we were like bring us an appetize platter please. Jill proceeded to throw her menu czu she was soo hungry. The waitress was kinda scared that we were going to eat her I tihnk. She oculd tell we were sooo hungry (well i believe we may have yelled it a few times) but so she brought everything really fast which was nice but she would like snap her hands back as soon as she put it on the table...I tihnk she was afraid we would eat her hands if they were left there too long...we did inhale our food like it would dissapear if we didn't eat it all in ten seconds flat....it was good!

P.S. I bought seasons 2 and 3 of Dawson's Creek which are soo good. They were buy one get one free at Best Buy and the cashier accidentally gave me the more expensive one free so it was like a super deal steal!!!! YEAH!

Oops!

So I have made some mistakes in my day and done some senseless things. Sometimes I am really stupid and don't realize or care enough to realize what is going on. But this latest which I will not divulge here really takes the cake. It really makes me wonder how really irresponsible I am. I hope there are no lifetime repurcusions!! Why Why Why do I do these things? Sadly, drinking wasn't even involved in this latest fiasco!

Bartender Infatuation

Went out last night with (e:paul), (e:terry) and (e:matt). Now I have a question ,well comment/question. There was totally this hot bartender but how can you tell if a bartender is actually interested in you. Like they work for tips and your business so like they have to be nice and stuff cuz they want your money. So generally I would never even think about a bartender cuz it just seems to easy to be thinking they are interested, really they juts want your money. Last night I feel like really there was maybe potential though, they were getting me cheap drinks (like $1 or free which was def was not the price when i had the other bartenders) but then of course in return I gave bigger tips so that confuses eveyrthing but it still ended up bein to my advantage (or (e:paul)'s advantage as he kinda bankroleld the evening cuz I didn't really have money, haha). Of course I don't know how to flirt and am super dupa shy so I didn't really do anything about it but just what do you guys think? How can you tell the line between actual interest and them just wanting to get your money?

Local Estrip Celeb in the Paper

So did everyone else see in this week's artvoice that our (E:strip) creator (e:paul) is going to be featured at the artvoice geekmeet or something like that. How great to be related to a local celeb even if it is in a geekmeet celeb kinda way.

They Need to Adore Me, Christian Dior Me

I think Eva Peron is one of my favorite people in history. She is really what i wasnt to be i think. Like not really a politician but like sorta a leader of the revolution. And more importantly she gets lots of fancy clothes and goes to lots of parties. And people chant her name and carry her picutre in poster size. I think I could live with that. Ok so all I really know about her is from the musical Evita but I feel like hta tmust cover the importnat parts. Well I also have a book that has some of her writings.

What I really lik eabout her, well the musical version of her at least is she makes me think of two things I like to think about.
1. Like how she helped raise money for the poor and help them out but also smuggles the money to make herself fabulous. Like i always think about that with charity events and stuff , like wow what a waste of mney to make it so crazy cool when why doesn't all that money just go to the charity but then i think well if there want all the fanciness then no money would go to the charity. You got to be ostentatious to get the dough.

2. Ther is a line in one of the songs that is like "Better to win while admitting your sin than to lose with a halo" I guess it is really a does the end justify the means type of thing. I think like sure she may have been part of kidnapping and slaughtering dissidents but hey she made people have a slightly better life right? or at least have one dream come true through her foundation.

I guess there is one more too. 3. Like solving little problems when there are much bigger problems. She sent people on vacations and stuff and did little things for them instead of promising to like cure the world of war and stuff. LIke is it better to accept maybe little but achievalbe things or should you focus eveyrhting on the big almost impossible things.

I'll leave you with this, "They need to adore me, so Christian Dior me"

How could the Dish do this?

First of all I just want to say that my dinner party went off perfectly. Ok by perfetly I mean the food was done about 2 hours later than I said, I burned a few things, and used just about every dish and pan in this house preparing the food creating the largest kitchen mess ever. But it was still good fun and I tihnk everyone had a good time. me and (e:Mk) were quite the ultimate players at the celebrity game. it almost seemed unfair that we were on the same team. Hopefully, (e:amanda) or (e:mk) will post pictures soon.

More importantly though, the DISH network has pulled the plug on offering LIfetime to its customers. IT TRIES TO CLAIM LIfetime is BEING UNREASONABLE!!! Hmm if the problem is lifetime why don't they have the same trouble with other cable companies and satelite networks. THE DISH NETWORK IS THE DEVIL! Ok i don't even have the DISH and so tihs doesn't' relaly affect me but I don't like the idea of some corporation limiting an American's viewing of the Golden Girls or the Nanny. Small issue you may think...but you gotta pick your battles. First this, then what?

Computers and Dinner Parties

First of all, I am using the new computer me and (e:paul) got my parents for christmas and it is so nice to have a new computer. One that doesn't freeze every 2.5 seconds and take a good 13 minutes to start up each time. It seriously is a whole new wolrd. Next DSL or cable internet and who knows what will happen. The only problem is my scanner for some reason is not like showing up on the computer and I have lots of pictures I need to scan by Sunday....

that leads me to my dinner party. Every year over christmas break I have a dinner party for my friends from highschool. It is like a rebonding every year thing. There are about 10 of us and now the significant others come too. Let me tell you I am no cook but for one day a year I do a pretty fantastic job if i do say so myself, haha. Really these twice baked cheesey potatoes win everyone over and it doesn't matter what anything else tastes like. Any suggestions for some fun appetizers I could make? I do have a whole book full of fun appetizers thanks to (e:paul) but more suggestions are always welcome. I also want to have some kind of updated slideshow/video movie thing to update with our college years since my mammoth highschool one is now almost 5 years old...but alas I need my scanner to work.

Merry Christmas...To Nonna with Love

So this is the first Christmas since I was born that we will not be going to my nonna's house, obvioulsy since she passed away this summer. It really is much sadder than I thought it would be. She is really what made Christmas special becuase now it is just my brother, terry, matt, my parents and me at my parents house. Not that that won't be fun, it just isn't the same. I loved going over to her house where Santa would also come for us, and sitting around and eating and chatting all day and eating way too much as always is the way at her house.I miss her so much all the time but today it is much more extremely hard. It just doesn't feel right without her. More than any of my other grandparents I really miss her because i knew her so much as an adult where we could really bond beyond the child/grandparent relationship from when I was younger. Nonna...I miss you, I love you, merry christmas somewhere out there!
