heidi, you stupid blonde

i forgot the clip of the hills that made my blood boil the most. spencer hasn't told his parents that him and heidi are engaged. i'm glad that heidi was finally able to think for herself and realize that sucked. anything beyond Immediate would be considered wrong. i'm glad those wedding dresses fit, you'll 0bviously be needing one.

expensive condiments, still hate heidi.

another week goes by, and i still hate heidi and spencer. i didn't even watch this week's episode of The Hills, but i know all about it. it's impossible to avoid. i know they have a wedding registry at Tiffany's where you can buy them salt and pepper shakers for $425. pardon me? yes, $425 for condiment holders. they're such jerks.

heidi reminds me of this: http://jezebel.com/gossip/cooch-pooch/-303446.php

birdie birdie

for the first day in about a week, nobody gave me a random undeserved bad attitude. what a relief!! you know except for the asshole of a bird who got stuck in our back stairwell. this time, he was alive and either had to be killed or let out somehow. Laura The Brave took care of it. she finagled a broom to open the door to let the little creature out. praise the lord.

I'm Fing crazy

i'm starting to wonder if a have a problem, like one of those crazy-person mental problems. i tend to get really obsessed with things from a short term period of time to a medium period of time, and once the obsession is over, it's basically done with and i move on to something else that strikes my fancy. this has been going on for years:
when i was a kid, i was obsessed with my little ponies, then barbies, then dolls, then stuffed animals, then softball, then basketball, then swimming. i became so obsessed with pickles, that after a jar of pickles was empty, i would drink some of the juice....this was a bad idea. i will not do that again. later, i became really obsessed with entermann's raspberry danish reduced fat version, i ate it every single morning for breakfast for perhaps two full years. there was a time where i loved pizza and french fries as a meal...i got a bit chubby, and that made me lose that obsession pretty fast. in college my obsession with nachos started, and only began to subside a few months ago. i got nachos everywhere, i got nachos for dinner and would eat a whole plate so that no nacho would go unloved. in college, my designer jean fetish also began and has only slowly started to decrease based on the fact that i have a lot now and spending that kind of money is crazy, my rationale is kicking in. for about six months to a year, i was obsessed with reading the fashion blogs online during the day, but i'm trying to cut down on it, because in reality...what's the point. i'm currently obsessed with The Girls Next Door. i love it so much that i watch it on my ipod while walking, and i want the holly bobblehead, and i'm probably going to be really upset when it's over. it's better when you watch it in marathons. i might even be Holly for halloween, but that might be crossing the boundary into crazy-land. what is wrong with me. i think i either just really love or really dislike things, and anything in between i seem to have no opinion on. hmmm....

finances

i've been concentrating on paying off my credit lately. it seems that i'm always sort of concentrating on it, but i feel like just in the past month or so i've actually started to make some kind of progress and put some kind of dent on it. the really really heart-breaking part about it is that i've been making higher payments and doing better because i haven't bought one thing since i've dedicated myself. well i mean, i've bought things, like groceries, and little things here and there. but i usually will buy a couple things at H&M during lunch on paydays, and it is prime fall shopping season. i did buy a pair of shoes from Target, but i'm going to have to return them due to fugly-ness. and it's my mom's birthday this weekend, and i normally spend a little bit more than i did this year on a gift, but i got her what she wanted instead of something frivulous. i'm starting to think that maybe i had a shopping problem and somehow i've curbed it for awhile. i've bought everything i've needed. there's things i'm dying for: new makeup, a long sweater for work, a white and blue striped shirt to wear under my vests, and a pair of work pants, but i can wait i guess. i can certainly live without them for awhile.

to bang or not to bang

so i wore my bangs back at work today....and Nobody Noticed!
like seriously, i have really noticeable bangs, the kind that dangle in front of my eyes. how could nobody notice that not only were the up and out of my face, but all my hair was up and out of my face. i'm thinking that they either look really insanely bad and everyone is pretending they look Ok just so they don't have to address them, or that literally nobody notices or cares.

gifts from abe...the non sexual kind.

i have a couple new favorite things: the new ipod nano and a new mousepad. the nano is awesome. totally big enough to watch tv shows. i watched 7 episodes of Girls Next Door, and the size of the screen was not an issue. plus, it's color screened, super small and thin, and sleek. i give it an A+. great design, great functionality, and cute color assortment. mine is the light blue one. the mousepad is pretty cool too. it has a built in calculator for the math retarded that spins to the position you need it at. perfect for those daily calculations that come my way. i've already used it several times : )

R-U-D-E

i just called to make a reservation at Abe & Louie's for my mom's birthday. a nice place, a reputable restaurant. the man who answered was really rude to me. why in the F would i still want to go dine there when someone with a bad attitude is taking down my name and number and then is appalled that i expected there to be time slots open. shame on you for being a jerk, because i'm probably going to show up, and if i see a man standing at the hostess table, i'm going to be rude right back to you Mr. - and i bet he secretly wears crocs and thinks that dane cook is funny.

crocs should die

i have come to the conclusion that only ugly people wear crocs. ugly people with a style deficiency gene or average looking people with a severe style deficiency gene and mild blindness.

one-two-go

in thailand there was a plane crash on one-two-go airlines flying from bangkok to phuket. the plane was trying to land in a storm, and it didn't go very smoothly. i remember making fun of this little airline when we were looking for it in the airport. one-two-go...is that the real name of our airline? well it was, and it wasn't half bad either. i think it was like taking the shuttle from boston to nyc, but cuter. i'm pretty sure that i liked it. it's really sad because i'm sure everyone on the plane was a vacationer as we were.

ick

i totally forgot about this. the other day, i had a small can of tuna with my soup for dinner. meaning i ate soup, and then later, i opened up a can of tuna to eat. it wasn't a combined meal. so i throw some hot sauce in, and then take a few large bites until....i bite into a bone. not a little bone, like a little pebble sized piece of a bone. no, we're talking i took a bite out of something long and somewhat thing, but not string thin. it was probably the size of a large paperclip. how the F did they let that slip into a baby sized can of tuna. i like bumblebee tuna because it's slightly less fishy tasting. but i do not like bones in my fish!!

umass review

i had my first true Umass experience this weekend. abe wanted to go and revisit all the restaurants that he used to love. that was pretty much the premise of the whole trip although i'm sure it was a sentimental thing for them too. if anyone knows me, they know i don't like to roll in big groups. i don't like debating things, i don't like waiting, i don't like the amount of energy it takes to move a lot of people around. this weekend was all about being in a massive 15 person party. this did not thrill me, but i guess that's how it's going to be whenever it's abe's friends or family, so i should get used to it. the hotel was right on campus, so it literally was a part of the student center. basically it was a dorm, which was pretty shocking, i give it a C-. we went to some asian food place for lunch on our first day, panda something, it was alright, i give it a B. for dinner, we went to the hanger for wings. i will admit, these wings were awesome. the onion rings were awesome too, in fact A+ onion rings. i really enjoyed this dinner, it was good food, good beer, good service, i'd give it a solid A, but we looked 20 years older than our waitress...that was Not cool. and on sunday, we went to the stables for breakfast. it was good, not amazing, but it was good, maybe a B, they were lacking omlettes. and for lunch abe and i went to the black sheep for an overpriced sandwich. that was really good, i thought it was similar to a panera sandwich or a pemberton sandwich, B, it was good, but i could find something just as good here. it was also just really surprising that you really did need a car to get everywhere. i guess you could take a shuttle bus if you wanted to which is nice, but who wants to take a bus if you can drive. also, the place itself is totally outdated. it's as if i was stepping foot into a 1960s institution. i think i'm a snob in that respect. northeastern had incredible modern architecture, which is something i've come to expect. although, i do remember looking at schools way back and thinking about how certain ones were just too ugly for me. i guess i am just a snot, and snots go to private schools. all in all, my umass experience was a B. not awesome enough want to go back for anything besides the hanger, but not bad enough to really dislike.

short update

my dad took me out for chinese food last night. it was disappointing only because how healthy it was. nothing was greasy and then we got lightly sauted chicken on veggies with spinach rice... it's pretty much the healthiest meal i've ever seen my dad eat. very strange. and then he was telling me about how he was watching justin timberlake's HBO special and how much he enjoyed the show and the music. i couldn't believe it. it was really very shocking but funny at the same time.

i've found myself reading along to meredith viera's blog on ivillage. i don't really know why though, i think she totally does not fit in on the today show, has very little chemistry with matt and al, and makes really awkward comments much too early in the morning. but i do really like to read about her life, and how she is able to cope with having a family, working on two shows, and how sad she is about her oldest son leaving for college. i think this means that i'm becoming an old sap. five years ago, i never would be reading such things. i know that i'm not reading it just because i have spare time like when i find myself reading every single gossip blog around, because one of those would suffice just fine, i really do read it because i like it.

abe got me the new ipod nano in light blue. i'm so excited, i can't wait to try it out. he's also loading Girls Next Door onto it for me so i can watch it on our trip to umass tomorrow. he's the best. there's very few things i would be ok with him spending silly money on right now, but apple products pretty much always get the Ok.

i have a new goal: read less celebrity trash.
reason: i think that i'll feel better about myself if i see less criticism on what people are wearing, eating, etc i shouldn't care. i seem to forget sometimes that their lives aren't real. also, the writing is crappy, so i shouldn't waste my time. filling my head with junk isn't what i should be doing anyhow.

the hills, show me the money

i read somewhere that lauren conrad lost 6 whole pounds! i'm sorry. i'm not impressed. it's not at all impressive when someone hires a trainer, and then loses weight. of course that's what happens, if everyone had a trainer, then nobody would be fat and obesity wouldn't be such a mega-problem in the US. we can't control what we eat, we have no self control, we like to dine out, we like fast food, but if you exercise enough and correctly then yeah you'll still be on the thin side.

i watched the hills again this week. heidi is such a flaming bitch. i don't even know if i can watch it anymore because i hate her so much. her and spencer combined make the ultimate jerk. her cattiness is beyond human proportions. and she wear's burberry with a popped collar?? come on! that really helped her look like a bigger jerk. just remember little girl: you have fake boobs, a fake nose, fake hair, a fake ring, and a fake job. your life kind of sucks.

meeting leftovers: an oasis of gas.

whenever there is a lunch meeting, the leftovers are placed in the kitchen at the very convenient time of around 2pm. which is exactly 2 hours after i've eaten, so i'm starting to feel a little hungry again. if there is every anything in there, i cannot resist it, with the exception of cookies and brownies...i'm just not really a sweets person. but if there are sandwiches, mini pinwheel sandwiches, pasta salad, regular salad, pickles, bags of kettle chips, diet sodas, etc. i will eat all of it. i'm a grazer. i'll eat whatever i have for lunch, usually a salad or a lean cuisine, and then i'll see an array of tastiness leftover. so i go in for the kill and steal some salad and a mini sandwich, and then i go sit in my cube. 10 minutes later, i realize that stupid sandwich was pretty small, so i go back in for some pasta salad and a mini bag of chips, and sit and enjoy it. 10 minutes later, i'm thirsty, so i grab myself a diet pepsi. so after all this grazing, about 1 hour later, you could roll me down the hallway and of course i'm grumbling that i feel bloated. i'll never learn. and 90% of the time, it upsets my stomach, but it could have been the sandwich or the chips or the salad...i'll never know, because i eat all of it at once.

how to poke an eye out

i have a problem. when i go to the gym, no matter what kind of top i'm wearing or what sports bra, i'm beaming. like serious, beamage. it's sort of embarrassing, i mean i know people are looking at it like: whoa what the f. it's more surprising than anything else. after my sports bra plasters my chest down completely flat, there's nothing there expect for the high beams.... why is this happening and how can i stop it? i'm sure it just has something to do with the AC blasting down on me after i've completely soaked through a shirt with sweat. yum.

"its britney bitches"

yeah it was britney. britney as we've never seen her before: atrocious. she should have cancelled if she wasn't up to a 3 minute performance. the least she could have done was cover up her big belly. she looked bloated, and really, she could have just worn a full coverage shirt and she wouldn't be called fat all over the country right now. you know your performance sucked when alicia keys out danced you. i'm disappointed. i wanted to believe brit could pull it together and put on a good show, but i was wrong. she cried after. i would have cried too, hopefully she was on drugs to make the moment less painful.

i did download the song though. it could be her only new material while she drops into rehab, so i should savor it.

southbreast airlines

well...
at the beginning of the interview on the Today show, i thought to myself: that's totally an outfit that i would wear in a hot climate...but probably not on a plane because i'd be too cold. but then she's talking about how appropriate she was dressed flying from san diego to arizona and back in just a day for an appointment and how she brought nothing else with her, and then she stood up and showed the camera....sat down, and flashed the camera with her panties. i wanted to DIE. i was so embarrassed for her, because she then continued to talk about how she wasn't dressed scantily at all....i think matt had to hold back a laugh, there's no way he couldn't have seen her crotch. maybe next time she should just fly a different airline, or wear a different outfit and stop flashing national television....that's my best advice to her. although i'm sure that the camera guy knew exactly what he was doing, and only made this blonde girl look even blonder. i guess he's probably a jerk too.

the tickled pear

i ate a pear that had gone bad yesterday....
so i was like: oh well, it's too late now, lets see what happens.

today, i'm alive. and then i stupidly, repeated the same act. i took a bite out of a pear that had gone too soft and it tasted pretty funky. did i spit out the bite? no i ate it. then i looked at the pear, and thought: son of a stupid bitch. but since i lived through the first spoiled pear incident, i figure that i could live through a second.

and if i don't....make sure someone takes care of cleo.

fashion week in nyc

because i know this small detail in the universe, it irks me. if i had not known that it was fashion week in new york and seen all the model castings and press from the runways, i never would feel like i have nothing nice to wear. in fact, i'd never have noticed that all my work clothing seem to resemble a pile of overworn and understyled shit. but i think that this year, instead of going fall fashion crazy, i will just try to accessorize better with what i have and weed out what really needs to go. new tights and accessories, for example. i'll see how long i can go without going really insane. i know that fall is my favorite fashion season, but it's also one of the most difficult living in new england. i'll try this challenge...i hope to make it to halloween....wish me luck.

the hills....

oh my god.
so it happened. i accidently started watching the hills and now i've watched 3 episodes. what the fuck.

Team LC. i can't even stand how awful of a person heidi is, and how awful a couple heidi and spencer are together. and i'm sorry, but a boob job and a nose job can't fix a terrible personality. it's so funny how heidi's parents totally were giving heidi and spencer a hard time, they did not really seem in the least bit pleased about them together at all. they probably weren't expecting people outside of their imaginary world to see them and call them out. they were wrong. and what is up with they way they speak....do priveledged men that grew up in the OC really speak like that. i wonder if it's really all for the cameras. i think brody jenner is a piece of shit, and he's just dying for some fame even if it's at the expense of LC. why does she always fall for the bad boy: jason wahler, steven whatever his last name is, and now brody. now there's a girl who doesn't know her own value as a person. and what is with audrina? she looks like a cartoon character and she dates a guy who wears cowboy boots with teeny shorts....and she likes him? i don't know, she seems like a nice girl with not much upstairs. i really hope that spencer and heidi break up and then LC can do a little dance in the sun, even if she does have RBC that everyone knows about.

Bar Harbor

i know i love all of my vacations. i love them all in their own ways, but i really love bar harbor. the fresh air, the great food, the small town, the hot tubs, the champagne that flows like water, well i guess that's just because of how we do bar harbor. one thing that i did learn, is that crocs don't look good even in an environment like that, and that the wait for breakfast should be no longer than what it would take you to lay your own eggs. i'm so depressed that i'm home. typical. atleast there's a holiday in october, november, december, and january to keep me going.
