last man standing

C'EST MOI. i can, without a doubt, now outdrink my father. weird? he did the funniest thing at the restaurant tonight, which sent me and the mom into a fit of giggles. i commandeered both our way to the restuarant and back to the hotel. we have a badass outdoor patio in our suite, on which i plan on spending much time tomorrow evening. forgive me, i'm running on very little sleep and am slightly tipsy.

cheap mondays

are unfortunately just that, cheap. i got a hole in a seam of one pair after the first week. and the fly unzips itself. often. cue embarrassment. i am unluckily inbetween sizes. i can kind of fit into the smaller size, but then have trouble breathing. the larger size stretches out so much i get bags around the butt. not attractive. they make a nice skinny jean, but god help us all if styles like the eiffel tower and pamper become commonplace. in the luxury jean market, yes $50-60 for a pair is cheap. but what excuse do they have for the poor quality, when a 440 pair of levis will last for years and years?

this morning on the subway, i sat across from a guy sitting smack in the middle of the seat (it was one of the new trains). a skinny girl managed to squeeze her way in between him and the rail. did he even look up? no. did he move an inch, to give her more space? no. yesterday, i was maneuvering my way through an insufferably crowded station when a guy bumped into me as i was veering towards an exit to the right. actually, it was his massive stomach that bumped into me several times. and then he stepped on the backs of my feet. what. the. fuck. wouldn't normal people slow down a tiny bit, maybe alter their path a bit to the left? guys in this fucking city do not move out of their way for women. it's the woman's job to move on the sidewalk. if she doesn't she will sure as day be body checked. it all goes back to guys' false fucking sense of entitlement. i call bullshit.

i just. don't. get it

what is with people not flushing the toilet? is it THAT hard to push the damn lever down? it also seems to be a guy thing. just like you never see a female digging for gold in public. guys are fucking gross.

LOLOL!

my worst nightmare was seen over the weekend. from the hair, to the ill-fitting clothes, to the inherent smarminess. seriously, if you looked in the encyclopedia for my worst nightmare, there'd be a picture of this guy's mug. i dubbed him chickenhead, and here is the chickenhead dance.



smoove moves man!
anyone know how to rotate the movie image? that would help. thanks. techtard=me.

shout out time

lisa levine is my favorite jewelry designer. her creations are badass, edgy, but pretty at the same time. in addition, she is supercool and nice. highly recommended. buy buy buy!

uh

last night i received this picture message from a 203 number i didn't know, simply saying, "Hi."

seen in my apartment

i'm speechless, and quite scared.

don't you hate it when people use you as a friend factory? yeah, me too.

god

is she late in the game or what? yawn.

light goggles

so last night i was eyeing a mildly cute boy, let's call him. we were outside, it was dark. then it so happened that we were both inside, where it was still dark. the lights got turned on and it was like augghghggh! he had the worst skin i've seen on someone over the age of 18 (and hey, he had to be at least 23?). holy crap. crush over, and mortified at what might have been if the lights hadn't gone on. i'd never experienced first-hand what dim lighting can do for a person. but lordy, accutane that shit or something, guy.

ash

it was a treat last night to see ash in a tiny venue - i was really taken back to my high school days when i was a hardcore fan. i've been out of the loop with them for a long time, plus they hardly get any press in the us. they played mostly songs off of 1977, and only 'burn baby burn' from their time with charlotte. maybe they haven't yet figured out how to incorporate two guitar parts into one? they were super tight, and played 2 brand new songs. 1977 is by far my favorite of their albums, and unfortunately they really lost me with their latest album. i have to say, i didn't like the new songs at all. i don't care for the direction they've been going in. i liked them best when they played the simple pop gems. i've always thought tim wheeler one of the finest love song composers. hello, goldfinger? btw, adding to his hotness is some new arm ink! oh my.

fun!

fashion victims

nb asks:

OMG what's up with girls that have fat jiggly asses wearing leggings and skinny jeans?!?!

well, i just don't know the answer to that one. i wish i could say hey, more power to them. great for them to feel confident and blahblahblah. but that's not how i feel at all. i'm not into body dysmorphic disorder, but neither do i understand how girls who maybe aren't that fit, squeeze themselves into tiny clothes that put the spotlight on their cottage cheese or make them look like overstuffed sausages. do they really look in the mirror and think they look hot when muffintop doesn't even begin to describe what is going on? i know i've already blogged about this, but whatever. is it really so hard to cover yourself up in a reasonable manner and to buy clothes that are your true size?? it's not necessary to wear a potato sack or a muumuu, but... cottage cheese is never going to be desirable and it is foul seeing a size 16 squeeze herself into a size 12, or an 8 into a 4. shorty shorts and skinny jeans really have not been kind to my eye rape.

going broke like it's out of fashion

serious. it's just gross. really, really bad. moopey face.

this is a pisser

our new intern started today - that is a good thing. however, bossman decided to jack his salary up so that he is almost making as much as i am! WTF?!?!

so bummed!

i'm going to miss 2 of my friends in london later this month, and stella there by a week! one will be here in the us, and angelface just started her 18 month world tour. she's in southeast asia at the moment. utmost respect for her ballsiness... i am SO jealous. so is my trip doomed or what?

what!

i'm going to pay almost $400 for 3 frames. if this is what being grown-up means, i don't want any part of it!
