HOLY FREEZING

It is so rewarding to feel like people really enjoy reading my blog. L sent me 3 amazing cds with the sweetest card ever enclosed in the parcel. Thank you momma-loo! (I think I need to make you a little mix. Send me your addy) Im loving it so far, ps!

Ive been toying with the idea of posting my best text of the day in my posts. That is not to say that I wont use crazy discretion and will probably wimp out in posting the REALLY good ones. With that being said, Im just putting it out there. I think Im going to add that feature and see how how it goes...

Last night I had a really fun time. I ended up meeting up with D and just shooting the shit and catching up. We laughed a ton and recorded 7 billion voice notes on our blackberries of us laughing our assess off. Weird I know, but not really. We listened to a ton of old SMASHING PUMPKINS and COUNTING CROWS. Good times with a capital G. Gosh I love listening to music I grew up on in school. Brings back such great memories. Songs do that to me. In listening to some songs, I remember exactly where I was when I first heard them, who my boyfriend was at the time and how I felt, mood wise, when I heard those songs. Memories..

i know I havent been posting too much about music lately. Once I finish this semester, Ill be back with a ton of new tunes for you guys. Part of me, in writing this blog, feels like I need to write a proper write up for a song, artist or album instead of just tossing a song in at the bottom of the page. maybe I need to do just that for now. So here my little chickadees..

THE WRENS- SHE SENDS KISSES a personal old favorite of mine. His voice is delicious..



NOSTALGIA from last night

UMMM...

How on earth did I forget to mention the most important thing Im thankful for??
Forgive me everyone!!

I AM SOOOO THANKFUL FOR MY BLOG READERS WHO TUNE IN TO READ MY RANTS, RAVES, REVIEWS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!!

I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU AND AM SUPER THANKFUL TO HAVE ALL OF YOU LOYAL PATRONS!!



I hope you all enjoyed your thanksgiving as much as I did. I now feel like this...



Thanks you to everyone who texted me and said that they were thankful to know me. Too cute. Tear in the eye, you had me at hello.

THANKS G

Its that time of year again. I love THANKSGIVING! I know for most it marks a time when families gather after not having been in the same room all together in a while and such; but I always am around my fam and nonetheless love it.

I CANT WAIT to have everyone over!!

I plan on getting my corn on in going around the table of 18 asking everyone what theyre thankful for aside from their family and significant others love and whatnot (boring) just to spice things up a bit. Im sure itll be an experience. I love corny exercises like that.. Especially with my family because we are all loony and random!!

Well, anyway-

Here are a bunch of things that Im thankful for-

1. Aveno facial moisturizer, its getting cold out there and this one seems to help my sensitive skin stay dewy and whatever.

2. My amazing friends who put up with me and my flakey-ness and my bossy style in manning the tunes whenever we are in the car.

3. My freedom. On so many different levels.

4. My TWEEZERMAN slanted tip tweezer, gosh that thing is one of my prized possessions.

5. My visual concepts teacher. He is so brilliant and Im thankful to have him as my maestro.

6. MY APPLE computer- without her Id be blogless, musicless and probably vegan (whaaa??)

7. Facebook updates, because where would I be without minute to minute updates about my friends bowel movements and their gossip girl updates?!!

8. The NY POST delivery man, who delivers, when I can reach it- my daily dose of SUDOKU and NY smut.

9. TRUE BLOOD, my most favorite show in the whole wide world. Ill miss you.. July, season 2!!

10. For added extra celebrity gossip and witty humor.

Theres tons more but I just took a tylenol PM and im fading... So...

Gobble Gobble.

ALMOST..

Ever get so close to getting something, you can just taste it? Only to have it disappear before your very eyes? Yeah? Well, welcome to the STORY OF MY LIFE, and Im not talking about the last cupcake on the dessert table either.. Im going to turn my taste buds off for a while though, they need to be reset.

I will say, that over the last few weeks, my eyes have been opened up to so many different kinds of lifestyles and situations leaving me thankful for all of these experiences. I find that as I get older, I am more open to learning and listening and in doing so, its proving to be so very rewarding.

ANYWHOO.

The weather here has been killing me lately. So freaking cold. My fingers feel like they are ready to snap off at any given moment. But, they're polished so- thats good. BTW, I got a manicure at this place DASHING DIVA. Heavenly!! They scrubbed my hands with this almond scrub that worked wonders on my skin. My hands were softer than a babies ass after the whole process. They also put these aromatherapy peppermint drops in the water that kinda grossed me out, only because Im not into that stuff. For the rest of the day, I smelled like I took a bath in every free sample at THE BODY SHOPPE. Whatever, all in all it was a great manicure. Perfect red nails make me happy.

Im making Thanksgiving dinner by me this year and Im so excited about it. I pretty much have my menu narrowed down to perfection. Should be a nice night. I love the whole Thanksgiving day breakdown. Everyone basically sits around waiting til 4 to devour a bird and pack in enough food to pass out within 3-4 hours max. Its quite adorable. THEN, the brave men/women still standing attempt to catch a movie and go as far as looking up the show times, but never actually venture out of the house. Good lazy times. Gobble Gobble. I think Im going to have old records playing in the background over dinner then afterwards have a little arts and crafts station set up on the floor for anyone who wants to get down and dirty. Thanksgiving inspired art, of course. Feathers, fringes, beads... Ooh Im getting so excited. Wanna come?

I really should not be home blogging right now, I have a million things to do. Oh, Im loving the Christmas songs back in rotation on the radio. Hold that thought, Im going to post a list of my favorite CM songs next post. Try not to die in anticipation.. K? I am dying to cover SILENT NIGHT though. Anyone wanna do it with me? A major plus if you can play decent gee tar.


Loving this song, nothing new, CHILDREN by DELTA SPIRIT - I listen to it a good 4 times a day.

TO THE BONE

Hello lovers and haters.

List time-

1. Ive bitten my nails down to the core. Low and painful and I feel miserable about it. Yes, Ive been stressed, sad, messed up and glad.

2. Im gutted over the EX LIST being cancelled. Terrible, tremendous loss. While we are on it, rumor has it LIPSTICK JUNGLE is on its way out too. Goodbye to cheesy girl sitcoms. Hello reality overload.

3. Im done making plans with D. D- you gotta get your sh*t together.

4. CHIMAY beer ra- hooles.

5. I finally accepted my moms pin. May the 24 hrs of bbm-ing begin. Cant wait to catch heat when I dont answer her.

6. Ive applied for an editorial internship at SPIN magazine. I hope they like my essay or even get to read it considering the fact that I sent it with 4 only minutes to spare til the deadline hit. Better late than never, thank gd I cosmically stumbled upon the opportunity an hr before closing time. Some things are meant to be, I hope. Fingers crossed.

7. I have a crush on a boy in my class. Hes so cute and he wears SURFACE TO AIR sweaters. Adorable. He does not have a crush on me so lets keep that between us, okay?

8. The parking lot attendant, on the other hand.... might like me, hes finally over S.

9. My fingers hurt when I type because my nails are s short. Ew, I am gross.

10. My red string is still holding strong tied to my right wrist. I hope I get my wish. I really do.

11. Ive been back in uke mode. Been playing CALIFORNIA STARS on it. I stink but will not throw in the towel.

K, thanks.

I must get a manicure tomorrow. I need to end this madness. I am gross.

SAY WHA??

Ive been thinking about how much I wish I had a stenographer with me all the time. People wouldnt believe the kinds of conversations I get into on a daily basis. Some really deep and some really dumb ones. The dumb ones are most entertaining.

Yesterday I got into a heated debate about the best bottled water on the market. You know, the kind that comes from MAINE, ie OUR TOILET BOWLS??

them- "you know which one is the best?"

me- "poland spring, hands down"

them- "omg, no! absolutely not!"

me- "ugh tell me YOU are NOT referring to EVIAN??!!! ewwww BARF. That stuff is so gross."

them- "what?? how could you say that?? I love EVIAN, its THE BEST!!""

me- "ugh, because its from the french or swiss alps or whatever??"
"well for starters, it tastes like thick gross hot plastic, it feels like syrup when you chug it and no matter how cold it is, it always feels warm"

them- "I cannot believe what Im hearing"

me- "no, I lied, it tastes like what I would assume licking the whole length of an ice skating rink covered in saran wrap would taste like. Thick, gross and barfy "

them- "hahahha, omg, gross!!! youre soo right"

me- "case closed- want a bottle of water? im thirsty"

SIDE NOTE-

The world of bottled water according to MOI.

The key players-


evian= hot toilet water


aquafina = corporate cold toilet water/ airport signature brand to carry at the magazine shop= propaganda.


dasani= see aquafina with an odd taste of coffee in it, also smells like an airplane, eww.


volvic= even thicker plastic water. commonly found when on vacation and its familiar logo makes you feel somewhat at home, yet is still tastes awful


dannon= a yogurt company, please, spare us with your entrepreneurial h20 side project.


fiji= beautiful picture to look at, taste- eh, its okay.


panna= restaurant rip off water, but not that bad.


smart water= not so smart.


vitamin water= melted popsicle flavored mixed with toilet water.


deer park= so 1992.


saratoga or those blue bottles on restaurant tables= sink water with floaters in it masked by the hue of the blue glass so that you dont see whats really in there.


POLAND SPRINGS- BEST WATER



Go ahead, leave me your hate comments about how spoiled I am and how I should drink tap water and all that other crap. I do drink tap so leave that out. Dont forget to remind me of the episode on 20/20 where they showed that PS was parasite ridden. A little protein never hurt anyone, right??

K.

CALIFORNIA STARS

So my blog stinks lately. I know. I dont know what been wrong with me, but my blogging has definitely weaned off a bit.
I guess its just been a long couple of weeks with some personal stuff going on. I hate getting too personal on here so I will spare my readers the sap.

Ive been bowling a ton lately. The other night I basically kicked ass and bowled a 140. I also beat N 4 times!! N rules at bowling so yes, Im gloating.

Ive also been saying HOLLERRRR a ton lately in the whitest accent possible. I think its becoming borderline annoying. Might need to work on it.

Who wants to make me a CD? I love a personally hand plucked disc with tunes picked out specifically for me. So send it anonymously if you dont want to tell me who you are. Comment me and Ill give you the address to send it to. Sounds creepy, but I dont care. I welcome lurkers, not everyone has to out themselves that theyre reading this thing. Im flattered that people are even reading it all, whoever is left at least..

Im loving the song CALIFORNIA STARS by WILCO. This songs makes me feel really melancholy and sentimental. WILCO taps into my searching side. His voice is raw and soothing and makes me feel calm and mellow. Good for driving too.

Im cutting this post short because-

1. Im feeling sad today.
2. Im going to go see my niece and suck the life out of her tiny body. UGHHHH. Love her. I am obsessed with this baby.

PS-I want to get paid to write. I really do.


Listen to this song and be sad with me.

YES I CAN!!!

I have a love hate relationship with vitamins. Now that its starting to get cold outside, Im back to chugging em. The worst one by far is ECHINACEA and GOLDEN SEAL. Its pretty much vomit in a pill. I guess we all need to ingest some vile stuff though right? Hopefully, I will not get sick. If I do, that bottle goes in the basura.

Not to go back on the election crap but did anyone else find it bothersome that OBAMAS tag line and slogan was YES WE CAN! ??? Correct me if im wrong, but this line was posted all over the place. It became the mantra of his followers. Flags and posters were waved with this profound theory.
NOW.... If you are anywhere within my age group, this line would strike a chord within you. WHY?? Because it was from the NUTTY PROFESSOR!!! Thats right folks-- Professor KLUMP used that line when he couldnt get the nerve up to ask the hot girl out because he was so fat. MHMM, they ripped off an EDDIE MURPHY movie!!! So, when I kept seeing those signs and everyones facebook statuses, all it did was take me back to my childhood. All I could see was THE NUTTY PROFESSORS lip bulging while he was on a date with that chick.

LADIES and GENTLEMAN- Like the nutty professor once said- YES, I CAN!!!

GUESS WHAT??!!! Someone else thought of the same exact thing as I did!!!

Oh Em GEEEEE!!

LOOK

IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING, GIVE IT AWAY.

CONOR OBERST AND THE MYSTIC VALLEY BAND is back in town this weekend. I didnt get tickets. As shocking as this might sound, I might not even go. Theyre playing terminal 5. I hate huge venues. Call me an elitist if you will, but i just feel so overwhelmed in those places.

I think MICHELLE OBAMAS red getup was so awful the other night. What was she thinking? Her daughter wore red too. Thats fine, but how did whoever dress them not notice how badly they clashed together?? Yikes. If anyone knows anyone on that front, tell them to hire me as their stylist. I will dress that family like no one has ever seen before. Her dress fit her so poorly that it actually hurt my heart. She needs to do some serious thinking.
Their daughters are really adorable, btw.

Im so happy that the election is finally over. I was getting really bored with it. Now we can move on to talking about important stuff like, THE OSCARS, CHRISTMAS VACATION and THE BEST OF THE BEST annual magazine editions. Haha, well not really, but ya know..

I just ate a cupcake and I want to barf. Barfing is gross though. So ill just have to let it sit and rot in my stomach.

I saw CHANGELING this week with my mom and sis. ANGELINA JOLIE is stunning, obvs. The movie was really heavy. I love heavy intense films, especially the ones that get me thinking and leave me thinking for a few days afterwards; but this one left me feeling really unsettled in a bothersome way. So my opinion of it is- Eh.

HE SAID- SHE SAID

How freaking nice was it outside today? I love when its warmer out. Makes me smile.
I told a gay friend about my "gay" story and he laughed in my face and said that im the most un-homophobic person he knows and that as a matter of fact, I am a 'fag hag." KISS MY ASS dude from the other night.

I went to ANGELIKAS KITCHEN today with J after school. He always drags me to these vegan places that view carob chips as if they were g-ds gift to the world. I mean seriously now. I was starving and had to order some cardboard stuffed with a fake omelet, while he licks his fingers in glee. Forgive me, but seitan wedges dont rock my world. Never have- never will. Our sweetheart waiter came to take our order, I ordered my fake lunch and then asked for a diet coke. "Sorry, we dont have soda" "WHAT?" I say? Oh its not healthy, how dare I even think of drinking something with taste. "So go get one from the news stand on the corner" he says, "Ya know what? I will" I took off and did just that. I came back with it, "Can I just get a glass with ice please?" "Oh, we dont have ice" Okay, is this for real? Welcome to hell, I think to myself, where tempei is for dinner, quinoa is for dessert and L Ron HUBBARD is the mayor. WHATS WRONG WITH ICE? "Oh, they say youre not supposed to drink cold beverages with meals, its not good for you." This place is not good for me. I start to tell our waiter friend, who was the coolest, btw, the G story and he laughs saying that the dude was pretty pathetic. "This restaurant is so freaking gay" I say, we all laugh. We decide that our waiter is our new best friend. He is also in a band. More on that another time. Oh btw, they dont serve coffee either! Mhmm. He loves his job because a simple, "Im sorry, we dont have that" always seems to be the answer. In the end, lunch was actually good, and I like the place. The no soda or ice thing is still cracked if you ask me.

Last night D and I were talking and he was saying that he always wanted to get to know and was happy that we are now friends. "Why?" I ask. "Because im super cool? " Well yeah he says, "Cool in different ways. Say like, I like the BEEGEES and you like DEF LEOPARD" Okay there are no words for how legendary that line was. DEF LEOPARD??? "You know what I mean!!" he says. I really dont but I let it go, because I know what he means.

Guess what? Im rocking a red string on my wrist from Israel, thanks D. "Its the real deal, not like the MADONNA kind" again, wheres the stenographer when I need one?? I have a severe sensory issue, which means that when I got outta the shower this morning, the wet red string was bothering me to death. Thank g it dried in under an hour. EXHALE.

Yes, I have a crush on my older teacher. He loved my abstract painting. So cute.

I havent posted music in a while, because Ive been listening to a lot of older stuff. Like for instance,
BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB- BABY 81- 666 CONDUCER and all the other amazing tracks of theirs. Ive broken out my SADDLE CREEK 50 ALBUM again. SO yeah thats where im at right now. I wanted to catch the TING TINGS with N, but sadly it didnt work out. Next time.


BABY 81


No dice on SADDLE CREEK- SORRY.

LISTLESS

I know that Ive been lagging on the blog lately but I just have been busy with stuff.

So heres a list- Send me blogging jous jous and inspire me to write again..

1. I love dried figs. So delish. I love crunching on the millions of seeds inside them. Not the sugar added kind, just regular dried figs.

2. On Friday J and I went for lunch on Smith Street and bought bags of candy. We gave all the little kids candy, it was so feaking cute! The moms loved us because we brought trick or treating to them.

3. I say "thats gay" a lot! Many of my close friends are gay. I say it to them. They laugh. I am in no way homophobic. Last night, however, someone overheard me telling a story about a guy telling me that texting was gay and interjected. HELLOO ass face, whos even talking to you? "Im gay-you have a problem with that?" he says.. No, I answer and stare right at him. Seriously, moron, get a life. He then proceeded to call his friend a "retard" 20 times. Um does anyone else find that to be hypocritical?? For some reason y brain kept on saying to itself- "i have nipples Gregg, can you milk me?" hahaha.

4. Its freezing out tonight. Its so cold that for a millisecond, I considered buying uggs when I took the garbage out in my pajamas. What?? It was a millisecond. My godzilla boots will just have to do.

5. Is everyone ready for REJECTION day? Why do I feel like Tuesday is going to be a super scary day? I feel like we are in danger. That is all I will say,

6. Sometimes when I sit still in total silence, I see things so clearly. I need to do that more often.

7. Holler to my friends who ran the marathon today!!

8. Unholler to my newspaper delivery boy who keeps throwing my newspaper into the tree. How the heck am I supposed to read it, if I cant freaking reach it??!! Im going to hit him one day.
