Baby's Daddy

So the other day Chris and I were watching some old season 3 entourage episodes. This show is known for its cameos as you all know, but I spotted one that wasnt even credited.

So we were watching Three's company (season 3, disk 2, part 1) and they show a meeting in Ari's office. The other agents are scurrying around and they flash to the agents....and there it is, clear as day...Larry Birkhead---yes thats right, Anna Nicole Smith's ex lover and baby's daddy. I jumped up and said "LOOK its larry birkhead" but his airtime was already over. A few seconds later he flashed on the screen again, but chris, who evidently doesnt read whatwouldtylerdurdendo.com every day wasnt sure what larry looked like and couldnt give me an answer.

I turned to my trusty friend google to see if I was right. Sure enough, I was! Pretty funny huh?

well...its halfway to the weekend

My spree of being friendly to the people in my apt building (esp on my floor) is now over. Emily and Aaron you two are the exceptions to the rule of course! Seriously though...I dont want to use names or anything, but if you have a good memory and have read my blog from way back you know who i'm talking about. I'm not an unfriendly girl, its just getting involved with someone who lives on your floor is always a bad idea --- now imagine one of them isnt interested. ;) I think i'm gonna start using the other elevator... (also it turns out cell phones dont allow you to block just one number, thier solution is to change your number which is too drastic)

I had a second attempt at an "egg salad sandwich" last night...but this time I replaced the egg with tofu...believe it or not it almost tasted EXACTLY the same! And coming from me that says a lot because I usually hate when tofu tries to imitate other things. I guess my cholesterol thanks you tofu...except for the fact I almost used an entire jar of mayo....no joke.

I'm also pretty excited because the new Avril cd comes with a dvd! I havent gotten to watch that yet, but i'll let you all know how it is after I see it. I'm sure it wont be as good as my foo fighters, jack johnson, greenday, RHCP, or alkaline trio dvd's but i still like music dvd's to just put on in the background while I'm doing stuff. I like to pretend I'm cleaning...but we all know the truth.

thumbsucker

I recently watched the thumbsucker after leslie highly recomended it. Thumbsucker, not to be confused with the weirdest movie i've ever seen Chumbscrubber, turned out to be really good.

I was intrigued by its title, because I too was a thumbsucker. When I was younger I guess I always walked around with a thumb in my mouth and my security blanket, till maybe the age of 8....at least the thumb sucking stopped, blankie continued to be a major part of my life that waited on my bed for me to come home (its still there, but at my parents house so that people dont ruin it). I'd get teased by my mom's side of the family with comments like "I bet you are going to walk down the aisle sucking your thumb"--real nice.

In the movie Justin's addiction to sucking his thumb was replaced by prescribed Ritalin. A phase that I also went through. When he was taking it all the time he focused on debating. When I was taking it all the time I quilted an entire queen sized quilt. (oh yeah and did well in all my classes). It turns out ritalin is only 3 molecules different from cocaine, I kinda wish someone had told me that before I started taking 54mg a day. now i'm down to 5-18mg, but i took it all last week and if you saw me you could prob see that my hands were shaking all week and i was reminded how poorly it mixes with any alcohol, so i'm on another break from it now. Justin just replaced ritalin with with one thing and from that another....its a slippery slope you know, all stemming from a little thumbsucking ;)

good movie, you should rent it.

Patriot's Day Edition

Happy Patriot's Day everyone! I guess all my Boston (maybe all of new england i'm not sure) readers wont be reading this since you all get the day off--I'm not even gonna pretend I'm not jealous.

I cant really elaborate but friday night's fun included meeting and hanging out with the star of "naughty gym class III", then we all went over to Will and Ted's Excellent Apartment. surprisingly fun night!

Worst attempt of the week needs some explanation first. If there is anything that annoys me, its when guys guess that I'm Jewish before even talking to me, then they base their conversation on that. So sat night I'm at the U street Bar Crawl (Solly's, Axis, and Stetsons), and I decide to sit at the end of the table where I dont know anyone at an attempt of making things less awkward. I introduced myself, and the first guy to respond goes "are you jewish" and I said "ummm yeah..." this is normal, but whats about to happen is totally weird...he proceeded with conversation ENTIRELY IN HEBREW! what??? yeah, i'm actually born with a gene that allows me to understand hebrew...ok so I can read it, but I understand maybe three words of it. This kid threw in a little more hebrew throughout the evening. totally weird.

Also some guy professed his love for me solely based on the fact that I had already been to Ben's Chili bowl that day. lol dont worry that was just katie's co worker.

velvet lounge and radio stations

Last night I went to Velvet Lounge with Margaret....and for all you winsor girls, yes Margaret from middle school! She and her UConn friends came out to see their friend's band Social hero who turned out to be really good. I like the main guy's voice a lot and will definitely see them again. There was one guy in the band that was in Foreigner. picture this: stone washed jeans, white t shirt, long gray aging rocker hair, bandana, neck scarf, sun glasses. He played a variety of accent instruments including what looked like the spoons. He added backup vocals including cat calls, and when need be he acted out parts of the song. I'm also pretty sure he was on something b/c there were periods of time he just stood there spacing out.

word on the street is that foreigner and styx are touring together this summer...if you are a regular blog reader of mine you'd know that i'm a big styx fan and will most certainly be at that show!

I'm exhausted today b/c I intended to go to bed at a decent hour after the show...but someone didnt let that happen! its alright though.

Lastly...Alright so it took me a few days to notice, but after scanning through the station for almost 5 days in a row I finally started to wonder why it NEVER has music I want to listen to. I finally stayed on the station for a full song, not once, but twice. Well it turns out 104.1 which you might recall turned from z104.1 to something else to george 104.1 a few months ago HAS CHANGED FORMAT AGAIN. This time it is now "inspirational music" my first tip off was that all the songs were about Jesus, the second was the radio announcer who said the name of the station. Awesome, so now I have to reset that radio button again.

top 10 songs i enjoy listening to...notice i didnt say "favorite songs" or "best songs ever" because those lists are just too hard to make...so this is the tangable begining of what either of those would look like



1. U2- With or without you. its my favorite song..you all know that
2. New Radicals- You get what you give. bet you didnt see THAT one coming! I love this song, it has such a positive message. its an all around happy song and great to listen to any time.
3. Green Day- Brain Stew. Just listen to the first few chords and you'll know why I love that song.
4. Beatles- Octopus Garden. What? yeah...thats the reaction most people have
5.Alkaline Trio- This could be love...i only sing this all the time :)

ALRIGHT I CANT DO IT!! too much pressure! I have to think about the next 5, I cant commit to anything right now. I'll come back to you on that one :)

On another note I realized that I can wear my sox jersey again! I have damon...number 18...well guess who is 18 now? daisuke! so maybe i'll just tape over "damon" and wear it to the game in two weeks! i might get a little made fun of, but i garuntee you that plenty of people will be doing it at fenway...i might be the only one at camden though. its ok i was the only one at camden with "damon is my homeboy" shirt too and people loved it.

The Downside to Email and IM

Usually I am a pretty easy going person and face to face I am fairly non confrontational and will just deal with things. This is not so true over the computer. MANY times in the past few weeks leslie has had to deal with gmail ims from me saying "uh oh, I think i just pissed so and so off".

I guess its just the faceless communication that makes me feel like its ok to speak my mind and not sugar coat things, but I am very harsh on email and IM. Maybe I should cut back on both of those, but that will probably never happen. I'll just type out exactly what I'm thinking and why I am annoyed with you or why I didnt like something else and before I know it I've hit send and its too late to take that back. I dont regret saying it because its probably how I really felt at that moment, but I regret how it makes people react/feel. Clearly the last thing I want to do is pick fights or hurt someone. Email really is an awful thing sometimes.
