When Life Was Easy
I found my report card from kindergarden the other day. It had things like "knows full name" "can tie shoes". I did not pass a few areas that I still have not passed namely holding a pen/pencil correctly (years of being yelled at by my teachers never worked, I still don't hold it right for some reason) Also I guess I was not good at adapting in new situations. Still not good at that either. I wish life was still as simple as just needing to know your full name. I don't even think kindergardeners these days have it that easy. I bet they already have real tests and crap like that.
It was fun to just be a kid. I hope kids now adays still get that!

And now a picture from last year's St. Matty's Day. Hopefully this year is just as fun....

Ladies who Lunch
So I love going out to lunch. I wish I could do it everyday. Anywho, I am going out to lunch with (e:amanda) at the Juicery downtown today cuz I don't have to work until 5. I thought maybe I'd take a walk around downtown after or something because it is nice out and I like to do that. But alas, even though I am on spring break and thus my reduced hours (I am still working like 22 hours cuz everyone else is going on a real vacation) they called me to see if I would go in at 3 because one lady went home upset or something ridiculous like that. I am soooo sick of that place. I think thye may not realize how on the edge of like totally calling it quits there I am. I just want to be a man who lunches without having to run off to work!

I love this picture from Toronto. I love the building in the back. I think it kinda looks like an ad with subpar models/

Stop trying to steal my dream! Ive ALWAYS wanted to be a lady who lunches. You have to come to NYC and lunch w me at Bergdorfs. Last time I was there I saw Kathy Hilton- I kept trying not to stare, but it was so hard.

So Freakin Lucky
OMG so I was doing my physics homework. I wasn't doing the best ever but not the worst ever either. I totally hit a rut and didn't know how to do anymore questions (we get four tries per question, and just submit the answers online so you get no credit for work) Anywho on one question that had three parts I just looked at the question and tried to guess the answer like pretty randomly with a little thought and guesstimatino based ona similar probklem in the book. I GOT TWO PARTS RIGHT!!! BY JUST GUESSING A NUMBER!!! A NUMBER THAT IS LIKE 2.34 and you can only be like 8% off in the last digit. It was the luckiest ever I've been! Too bad I still only got like an 88 on the homeowrk but that isn't too bad. I am content to never be a superstar like (e:terry). At least not in physics

and the random pic of the day: I call it "oh the advertures we've had (at target)

Cabaret Review For Real
Ok some of you may have just seen an entry here but thanks to (e:paul) I got my original entry back so here it is:

So I went to that newish restaurant Cabaret across from Sheas on Pearl Street. It was really good. They have like cheap stuff like salads and burgers and wings and fingers and pricer like meals up to like $30 almost. But we just got the less pricey fare and it was really good. I had a southwestern soup which was super dupa good and then we split the stuffed peppers which were quite hot and I think gave my stomach quite a night that night. But anywho, for the main course I had a PIttsburgh salad which is an amazing invention. It is a salad, with steak and french fries and like cheddar cheese on it and this Rivera dressing. It was a great invention. LIke it makes french fries seem healthy, what's better than that? They have a lot of good things on their I menu I bet. It isn't too fancy but not supa dupa trashy either. A nice in the middle.

I'm starting to post a random picture from the past with each entry! Who doesn't miss that spoon?! This picture makes it look so big - as big as (e:terry)

Even though I only caught the tail end of it, that spoon was awesome.
hodown - 03/07/07 16:42
