Sweat & (Outside of) the City

The ultimate car driver has RETURNED from the big city to a delightful land where she can tool around in Flanders, the 2004 Civic. That's right, I'm on Long Island.

How Many Vacation Days Does George W. Get?

woke up this morning to the disturbed news
about foiled terror plots for planes leaving the UK
there's really not much i can say about this
other than, hmm, where do you supposed our 43rd president was?
perhaps preparing for a cabinet meeting?
maybe speaking in the oval office to his pals in the religious right?
reading a policy paper about more oil drilling in alaska?
(wait, he has people to do that for him)
nope, he was on his ranch in crawford texas
i read somewhere that george takes FIVE weeks
of vacation in the summer
you are the freakin' president of the united states
get your ass back to washington!

Ah, the 90s

after i correctly answered a question last night
on the world series of pop culture about "pulp fiction"
(they should have picked us for that show
bastards...)
anyway, i realized i hadn't seen that movie in a long time
and lo and behold
it's on bravo right now
granted, it's scrubbed fairly clean
with every usage of "fuck" replaced with "suck"
or else they just silence the scene
there was 12 seconds of silence
this must have been a particularly salty scene

and now even more 90s goodness
please enjoy this clip of canadian "rockers" nickelback
covering soul coughing's "super bon bon"
it's good for a laugh
and yes, there's fire in it
it makes me really enjoy mike doughty all the more
now that i see what people will do to his songs

Decisions Decisions

ok, first off, the title doesn't refer to any
decisions i need to make to make
life is very decision free right now

anyway, i'm engaging in my saturday morning ritual
of back-to-back felicity episodes
our plucky gal pal just graduated
and is leaving the big apple
who knows what her future holds?
and when she said good bye to ben
i'll admit, i got a little choked up
even though i've always been a noel girl

and now it's time to point out the inaccuracies
in a television show about college
so graduation was yesterday
but felicity is packing up her ridiculously spacious res hall apt!
(you know, the one with the freaking FOYER)
in real life, she'd need to get the hell out of that apt
no lollygogging!!!
and now she's writing in her closet!!
damage billing!!

but now i'm going to go enjoy this lovely day
go saturday!

You Know It's Hot Outside Because I'm Wearing a Skirt

yep, it's 4 pm in the big apple
and according to weather.com
it is 100 degrees
but it feels like 108
which is why i shall not be leaving my apartment tonight
instead, i will be inside watching project runway
and eating pickles
assuming i don't run out of pickles
pickles are one of my foods of choice during ridiculously hot periods
the others are firecracker pops (which i have treated many of you to)
and a new addition to my roster
sushi
however, sushi is expensive
and i only like 2 kinds of sushi from 1 restaurant
so sushi doesn't happen all to often
(but it did last night)

today is neil's birthday
happy birthday BFF!
must send you a pwecious hallmark e-card

getting overwhelmed by work
but what else is new?
it is august after all
res life folks far and wide are all
experiencing similar feeligs of panic

and on that note
i'm going to go play around with my roster
i'm a gal that loves excel
