Ariel

Isn't it ironic that I am scared of water but I want to come back in my next life as a mermaid?? I have always been so fascinated with them, I think they are absolutely gorgeous in their movements. Effortless and flawless.

There was a Brooklyn mermaid parade recently which if I was living in or around Brooklyn at the time, I would have participated...




This mermaid said it pefectly: the parade was “a rite of passage for all women, no matter what your size or shape or age. You need to get out and shake your shells.”

Next year, I'm there. And maybe I'll even get in the water.

Feeling girly

I understand how there are two sides to every story but I've always been of the mindset that if they don't do it to you, you don't have a real reason to be unkind, rude, disrespectful, mean or nonchalant to the other person slash people who side with the other person. I have just always believed that no one knows the truth you live in so they can't judge based on what one person describes. It's not fair to the whole situation, regardless of what it is. I sent an email to some friends, some who are my girlfriends and some who are Joe's friends before they were ever mine although I consider them mine as well. I just have this feeling in my gut that they won't respond to me because they are his friends first. Which I get but at the same time, treat me separately than his other half and it will still be ok. Yes, we have some problems to work out which we are doing but that doesn't mean you have to ignore me. I think I'm being too sensitive which is a first. Kind of good, kind of bad. Good because it means I have real emotions, bad because I don't like feeling them

killer bugz

I called my roommate last night to find out where she was only to discover she was still at least half an hour away while I was in full discovery mode of some crazy prehistoric million legged creature that reminded me of a more pliable cockroach (my worst enemy). I had to kill it but of course I screamed and cried because although I am a fairly strong and independent woman who has no trouble with blood or vomit, killing bugs is a different realm. This was even after my post-Sex and the City II martini too! So I killed it but may have thrown the newspaper I killed it with on the front porch and left the corpse for my lovely and wonderful roommate to dispose of. She was most gracious only because she knew how much distress I was in. Let's just say I might have been crying on the phone to her when she explained she was nowhere near home.

Sex II

I finally saw Sex and the City II last night and I was SO hesitant about seeing it because I hated the first one. But, Kate owed me a movie so I didn't have to pay which was nice so I figured it wouldn't hurt to go. Since I don't have tv I haven't really seen any previews for it, all I knew was that they went to the Middle East. That part bugged me considering NYC is such a main character throughout the six seasons. I basically went in without hope, expecting the movie to be bad.

That being said, I really enjoyed it. Even though it did take place for the most part in Abu Dhabi (??) I actually thought it seemed more true to the show than the first movie. It went back to being about the girls and their friendships rather than their individual relationships like the first movie.

I loved Liza in the beginning of the movie, I thought she was so fabulous and fun. I loved Carrie's orange dress in the desert with her butler holding the umbrella, it was so gorgeous. I haven't found a photo yet but that may have to wait until I'm on my own computer. I loved Miranda's hair when it was straight and so sleek and fiery red.

Didn't like how old they all look, how disrespectful Samantha was to the culture, I thought Carrie looked the best in terms of age. I didn't like the stupid puns: "Lawrence of my labia"; "Abu Dhabi do"; "Inter-friend-shion"; and something Carrie said to Charlotte when she was upset about the kiss although I forget what it was.

But overall I really enjoyed the movie and was glad I went! Of course after the movie Kate and I had to go get martinis which was lovely. I could go on and on about this movie but I'll stop there for a bit... and hopefully find some photos!!

Gaga ooo la la

How do you walk in these?! I love it. I want to try walking in those. I always have wondered whether the people who dress "differently" feel uncomfortale with the attention. I like the attention but I don't know if I can pull off anything crazy. I love when Diana dresses me up but sometimes I feel uncomfortable wearing stuff I don't usually wear. Too tired to finish. Long day. See shoes, I love the, just not for me.

I'll get the halibut...for the halibut

Honestly, I don't think that joke was ever funny but you wouldn't believe the number or men who think they are the first ones to invent the joke and think it's funny.

Buying homey/apartment-y things makes me feel very settled and happy. I've always been like that. I just bought something from Urban which I'm super excited for!! Meh, I can't copy the image from the webpage to be recognizable but once I get it delivered and have it set up, I'll upload a photo. But! I do have other photos to share...

My rubber plant Henry!! The very first plant I ever bought for myself, so yeah, I named it.

The new roommate



Rug the new roommate has claimed as his own



Got home the other night to discover that Lauren is really a 19 year old college student trapped in a 26 year old waitresses' body. Of course I have been taking advantage of it big time...

Foursquare

I want to work for Dennis Crowley, check out this article about his company Foursquare:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/06/04/foursquare.dennis.crowley/index.html?hpt=C1

Makes me excited about NYC in a totally different way. Honestly I feel like that app alone would make me switch to an Iphone...and I've been pretty against them. Although not so much anymore. It was more that I just cannot hear when I'm on the phone with Iphone people. But doesn't his company sound like so much fun?? It would be so cool. I also want that book they mention in the article, The Guide to Living Cheaply in NYC or something like that...

Dixie

Last night when I went to bed there was a SPIDER on top of the sheets. It was black and kind of looked like a crab. I freaked out a little, ran to the bathroom to grab toilet paper and tried to kill the thing. Of course I missed so I SCREAMED. I finally managed to get it and flushed it down the toilet but I know who my true friend is because she came running up the stairs to see if I was ok. Dixie!! What a sweetheart. Thumbelina was nowhere to be found. I only wish these dogs would eat the gross insects in this house. I had to kill a huge black moth last night too. Of course Dixie was rooting me on again. I need a dog. And to never ever live alone.

hello.

Nothing like starting off your day hearing 3 separate children - the youngest being 4 - yelling the f bomb as well as bitch and goddamn and asshole. Makes me so sad. BUT my day just picked up because Joe sent me a hello email! Totally changed my mood. It's been a rough day up until that point. Right after I watched the amazing Beyonce video yesterday, a Ludacris video came on. I am not a fan of his regardless, I don't think he's very talented and comes off as a poser (who uses that word anymore?!) but he had the dumbest song and video on MTV yesterday. It was called Sex Room. I cannot even believe he is considered talented and famous or hot. God I hope no one finds him attractive, he's just not. He seems like he's trying too hard. Youtube the video and tell me I'm not right.

Why Don't You Love Me

I love this video. Saw it a few days ago and forgot about it until I just found it again on MTV Jams. I love all the outfits, so feminine and sexy...maybe a bit too much for me personally but it works on Beyonce. The clip when she's in the blonde hair, short bangs, purple heels, stockings and two piece is the exact same style as Diana's bathing suit. I think her long turquoise nails when she's on the phone brings the video up to date rather than making it look completely 1950's-esque. I also like the fast moving pace of this video, and how she seems so sad and angry and happy all at once. I guess I connect to that right now. I wonder why all the songs on her Sasha Fierce album are about her being single and lonely etc when she was married when she recorded this?

After drinking a martini on Friday night and seeing Beyonce looking so fabulous drinking hers, I might try to drink those a little more often. My only problem is the spillage factor. I'm always so proud of myself and tell my tables so when I get their martinis to them without spilling a drop. It's a semi-rare occurrence. I'll probably watch this about ten more times in the next few days.
