mjade821: last I checked I am not a bunny or a brontasaurus
mjade821: wouldn't it be great if I checked again and I was
neurosurgeonbowl: haha
neurosurgeonbowl: that would be awesome
mjade821: sweet! I'm a dinosaur
mjade821: now I can enjoy my tabouleh!
neurosurgeonbowl: and smashing things
neurosurgeonbowl: but you'd have to lay eggs

mjade821: and if I decided I didn't want babies
mjade821: I could just eat them
neurosurgeonbowl: true
neurosurgeonbowl: a delicious omlette made from a lack of responsibility

I appreciate that you have very few commercials, but really, do you need to play The Freshman EVERY morning? It's cool that you call what you play "My Playlist" but really, when I listen to the radio I want to hear a playlist that changes more often than my own.

Thanks.

Rose: I think I am naturally annoyed by things people have a fervor for
Cosmo: it wouldn't surprise me
Cosmo: many other things annoy you
Rose: probably some kind of mental scarring from my star wars obsession that was ultimately let down by george lucas
Cosmo: let down?
Cosmo: dude, obliterated
Cosmo: harshly

Got this from stepliana

1. Take a picture of your bag
2. Now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture (no matter how embarrassing)
3. Talk about the items inside. Detail.
4. Tag 6 people. (don't tag the person that was already tagged) I tag whoever wants to do this. I love looking at other people's stuff.

So, I ride a bike to work everyday. I don't "carry a bag" so much as "wear a backpack." I also went to the gym this morning so my bag contains two smaller bags. Excuse the picture quality, but I only had my iPhone.



( Step into my bag )

Also, normally my Camelbak waterbottle and my keys are in my bag, but they're next to my computer at the moment. As is my Comverse ID.

Phew.

This weekend I got a bunch of wedding stuff done. We decided on and I put down a deposit on Friday. Saturday was dress buying day. stepliana, elfuego, cescalynne, my mom, my Nana and I went to Burton's Bridals and I tried on the sample they had of the dress in gold (as opposed to rum pink, which was the only color I had seen it in). The sample just so happened to be exactly my size. I decided to go with the rum pink anyways and ordered it (3 inches shorter, ha!). Burton's was interesting. Kind of tiny and chaotic. There was a girl trying on a dress with a bird tattoo on her boob and a black girl trying on one of the dresses I was considering before I fell in love with the one I'm getting.

I'll post pics if people are interested. Or send an email if you let me know you want to see it.

Ack! Time to leave work. More later! Tonight, white trash brituation on HIMYM.

I don't feel like sorting through pictures, but the last couple of weeks have been interesting. We had a DIY Beer Tasting, Warren introduced us to 5/6 Hour Energy, got Ben and Alyssa Speights at the only bar in America that sells it, revisited the Patriot Saloon (and the 24 hr Taco Bell in Penn Station), Had a shockingly calm, nice and thankfully long weekend with my family, we sent ouf the Save the Dates for the big day, met with the probable photographer for said day, Ben and I went to visit his family in Pennsylvania, chose the first dress that I tried on with Step and Francesca (in the only store in Massachusetts that had one) and rewarded their valiance at the Running of the Brides with delicious Japanese Steakhouse, Indie came down for a visit which included the largest group and tab at the Avenue that I've ever encountered and we bought Lego Star Wars which is currently eating our lives.

This week went from awful to awesome in a matter of hours on Wednesday. Monday I stayed home sick sleeping, making snot wontons and playing Star Wars. I got an email that morning that my gym hadn't been charging me for the last oooh year and a half and they wanted to reconcile the debt. I spent Monday and Tuesday avoiding them and on Wednesday they agreed to eat half the balance. I also called Burton's Bridals on Katie's suggestion and they have the dress I love for significantly less than the place up here quoted me. I managed to save myself something like $500 in one day, sweet. Then when we got home there were letters from the Nielsen people on the front door, Step called them and yesterday we had an appt with one of their reps. Our viewing choices are going to start mattering on the 27th! Even more reason to watch tv with us.

We're finally getting going with all this Wedding planning stuff. Our guest list has been parred down significantly since we're trying to stay at about 100 people, and our families make up about 50% of that. We decided not to invite guests (unless married or engaged) which is a little bit awkward, but we'd rather have more friends there. Ah well. If you did get the save the date, I hope you realize it's a magnet and that you should go to the url on it.

Phew, I'll post pictures and all that good stuff later.

So, I think I've started out 2008 alright.

( A brief picture timeline. )

Oh, and I passed my road test today!


Oh, and we've been obsessed with How I Met Your Mother. I should be in Babylon sometime mid Feb-tober, January seems to have flown by me. But at least it wasn't without merit.

Dammit.

This post was sent using my iphone.

elfuego gave me "P"

1. Pour House - How can you resist the cheapness?
2. Poopay - My favorite nickname for Lupe.
3. Pin Up Girls/Art - Occasionally makes me want to dye my hair.
4. Punk - I really should actively display my love more often.
5. Paint - Especially if I can make a mess.
6. Procrastination - Good explanation for why I'm still at this job.
7. Pork - Really, any meat.
8. Pie! Every kind except pumpkin. Ha ha ha.
9. PassiveAggressiveNotes.com - and passive aggressiveness in general
10.Pictures - Photos/Photograpy, pictures mel draws in paint... anything really

Anyone else want a letter?

So, I lamed out after going on vacation on that whole doing something every day thing. I do have some stuff that I can post, just haven't gotten around to it.

My birthday is in less than a month and that's when my NY permit expires. I need to get a drivers license mostly out of not wanting to carry around my passport for ID. I'm getting a bit pressed for time. This weekend I'll be in Babylon, the weekend of August 11 is Becca's Wedding in Rochester and the weekend of August 17 is Katie's Wedding.

I'm also looking into registering for some Continuing Ed classes in the fall at RISD, MassArt or anywhere else in the Boston area. I'm still toying with the idea of Advertising since I'm much better at art with some structure. RISD's program sounds a lot more interesting than MassArt's and a lot cheaper. I'm so undecided.

I'm using my stupid cow icon because I'm not good at goals.

	Pin-Up for Left on Base I was doing this at work and had such a hard time with the right leg (my right) and then I remembered I had the mini-charlie Lupe gave me for my birthday propped up against my cabinets in a jumping pose. Made it so much easier! Thanks Lupe!
	Pin-Up for Left on Base She's so sad her team let her down.

Some Girl laying in the Public Gardens Forgot to post this yesterday, so I've backdated.
