I think I've had enough.." To steal a line from Dylan.
That's basically how I've felt for the past few weeks.
I had to go to FL for a business meeting then was in AZ for about a week. I always miss the city.
In any case below is a list of updates:
1. Had to go to our firm's "All Enterprise Meeting". I laugh every time I hear that. It seems so serious. Basically they fly us down to Florida in August so we can eat steak, drink our faces off and flirt inappropriately with co-workers. All of which I did. Oh I also managed some hotel make outs. I mean really can I be expected to behave myself around so many dudes all business like? You know its my Achilles heel.
2. It took me 9 hours to get home from Florida. Karma was punishing me for flirting with multiple married men.
3. Semi-dumped the dude before I left for Arizona. Being 3 hours late is not acceptable.
4. Flew first class to and from Arizona courtesy of my boss. It's not that much better than coach. You get a bigger seat and free booze, but that's about it.
5. Ate at Senior Tacos almost every day. It's delicious and next to a gas station. I feel like the dirtier the Mexican making my food the more delicious it will be. So far my theory has been correct.
6. On the flight home I refused to trade seats with some douche in a bulkhead window seat. He was all huffy and kept referring to me as "her over there who won't trade so I can sit near my wife". I just smiled at him every time he pointed at me, it pissed him off even more.
Hmm, I think that's about it. I took like 3 pictures in Arizona, so when I stop being lazy I'll post them...

Hello Kitty- A symbol of shameCategory: heartbreak
Warning: This story will break your heart 15% if you adore Hello Kitty.
According to the NYT Thai police officers who show up late for work, park in the wrong place or even drop a bit of litter are "punished" by being forced to wear a pink armband of shame with a Hello Kitty face and two linked hearts.
There are so many things wrong with this:
I say police officers of Thailand unite and wear the armbands as a symbol of pride of Hello Kitty. But that's just me.
(Ok so yeah I know this makes me 5% nuts that I care so much about this)

There are so many things wrong with this:
- 1 Hello Kitty should NEVER be associated with something shameful. All she wants to do is wear a cute dress and eat cupcakes with her friends. Why are the Thai police using her to invoke feelings of guilt and shame?
- 2 Is it really shameful to wear something as adorable as a pink armband with supercute Hello Kitty on it?
- 3 What does this say to the wee children of Asia where Sanrio characters are hugely popular? We know you like Hello Kitty but really she is something you should be embarassed of.

I'm sure public humiliation is one of the lesser of the many disturbing things Hello Kitty has been used for.

Summer Lovin, had me a blastCategory: fun
The latest blog title is an homage to the new Danny and Sandy starring in the Broadway revival of Grease. They were discovered on a reality TV show and voted to star in the musical revival by America. This says to me that it will be a monster hit because everyone from the Midwest who comes to NYC will go see it because they watched the TV show. Inside Im crying a little at the stain this will leave on the original version of Grease.
Also it seemed like a good title because it's summer and everyone seems to be in love.
Ok so now on to the good stuff. Pictures:
I'm in love with Joyce's dress.
The Raschals. Mark adores Cate and I j'adore their blog
My new hair cut. My hair loves me for getting it cut (and colored).
Girl love. Enough said.
Carolyn is in love with both a boy and summer nights. They boy couldn't be with us, but this is how she looks when she thinks of him. Aww.
The Beer Garden. Sausage and Beer. If you don't love that combo clearly you are a pinko commie.
Scientistist love artists.
Friend love.
blurry, but you can get the general idea. Someone loves to give me kisses on the cheek.
Loving Central Park on weekend afternoons.
And finally a picture of Jon.

Nerdcore Hip-hopAlthough I can by no means take credit for this discovery (some other e-stripper mentioned MC Frontalot ages ago) I did jump on this bandwagon long long ago. Therefore I'd like to call myself an innovator.
Actually I'm just glad that this rad music is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

My favorite nerd rapper is MC Paul Barman: an ivy league educated white Jew from New Jersey.
In a long story I will abbreviate. I woke up wearing only a sports coat and a tabard (as in, a Knights tabard)from a glorious dream where Eminem was rapping about an a man who had his legs cut off and replaces with a goats so he could star in a Troma movie called Enter Pan-man. But it wasn't just a dream! It was real, and playing through my drunken stupor/sleep.
He has great lines, such as
"Anger, like Margret Sanger, sitting on a coat hangar"

Me and JoyceJoyce is my waxer at J Sisters
I got a wax today in anticipation of going to the beach. Afterwards I always feel like I've either hooked up or have been molested. I can't quite figure out which one. Joyce probably knows my va-jay-jay (thanks for the term Oprah) better than any dude. She really gets in there looks at things. I can't imagine doing that for a living. Getting all up in strangers junk all day.
And now for part two of this post (and not nearly as graphic):
As I mentioned before I'm going to the beach, and I'm going with a boy!! He's probably the nicest dude I've ever met. I keep waiting for the downfall of him being nice, but so far it hasn't happened. So for now I'm just going to enjoy actually hanging out with a non jerk dude. It's pretty awesome.

"I'll show you my Swedish if you show me your Brazilian!!"

Id take an arm pit wax over my junk any day of the week. I timed it and it only lasted 12 minutes but it felt like an hour.
So yes at J Sisters they pretty much only do the brazilian.
You know how to wax? Maybe you should consider that as a career. They charge $80 a wax. You could be rolling in the dough in no time!

Ouch! They have armpit waxing. I can't imagine how painful that must be. Do you get the str8up Brazilian? I actually know how to do waxing, but thats a whole other story.

What are Senior Tacos? Are they like extra large tacos with boiled mushy veggies, so seniors can gobble them with ease?
you're my hero. I miss you a lot!
re: #6 I should note that I hate to fly and frequently pee. Thus I want to be in a seat which allows me to be able to get up and also which has a seatback in front of me so I can have my book, ipod and zanax ready to go at anytime. I told the guy this and he still huffed. I was like "I reserved this specific seat, should I really need to say sorry?"
Funny, I have that same theory about Pizza Joint. The more grease in the air, the better the product.
