I am soooo over you...

But unlike its predecessors, drunk dialing usually limits itself to times long after the close of business and beyond the daily commute. It is in those dark hours of late night and wee hours of early morn, when most people have retired their cellphones for overnight charging, that intoxicated revelers flip open their cellphones and dial into regret.

the blue footed boobie is a bird

hey kids. so yeah, i've been busy. so here's a thought- housing. i got a lovely email today from reslife being all yo, what are you doing?

what am i doing?

all of my plans rely on RA shiz. what do i do in the meantime? oh bah.

& ps, email me if you're confused about housing/don't have anywhere. then we can bum off our RA friends together, or live in absolute bliss apart. i know i talked to a select few of you about it (ooooooh yeah, i said that)

hooray!

American Awful -NY Times

oh paula, your niceness just isn't enough

it's aliiive

okay friends, my apologies for not updating. i'll refrain from the funny & bring on the facts.

so yes, i am now in dc, where i have officially been dwelling for the past week. ppl here are not accustomed to snow, and this simple fact has been both amusing and inconvenient at the same time. i've been having fun dropping mad money for food and transport, oh yes. stingy dana (the only dana i really seem to know) is not pleased.

so far, i like the city. it's much less intimidating than nyc. no massive sky scrapers, no constant attitude from strangers... while yes, there is some hustle and bustle, i do not feel the same pressure of anonymity i have often felt when in nyc. anyone who wants to visit should do so. there are places to see, and assorted cultural foods to taste.

work has been amusing as well. i'm pretty much left on my own, which i fancy. i'll post links when i actually do something of note, as i will be working on the FMF website(s).

i suppose one can say that i am now adjusting. the roomie & i did some decorating today, which make our apartment feel more like our own. it's still an experience though, being constantly surrounded by people. and then there's the fact that after i cleared up my not having a thing for mike, it has now been decided that ben & i will be married. oh hooray, no? i'll be sure to send out an email soon, for those of you who i know personally, that is. i attended the inauguration, and have a little bit of a diddy to share.

feel free to send me mail & assorted acts of endearment. ask for my address if needed.

much love, my dears-

first up close encounter: enter anderson cooper

so guess who i saw today? uhm, how about a sexy newsman who made me gasp-



but wait, you may say, he works for cnn, how can he ever be sexy?


he finds a way my dears, he finds a way

The pledge allegiance guy strikes again.

dancin' with doughnuts

it's a weird feeling knowing that tomorrow will begin a 'new chapter.' for those of you who do not know my life plans, i will be moving to DC... well, for the next 4 months at least. aiesh. but don't worry kiddies, check THIS:
BenNRoxie: plus when we go on adventures we'll have me there, and i'm very good with maps and trains and the like
BenNRoxie: i was cub scout orienteering champion for maryland

HOT STUFF!! ha, oh benjamin. that douche is gonna be my best friend.

and if that isn't funny enough for ya, here's some 'hype shit':
"I mean think about… how often does a kid really hit his father in the balls without some dire consequence. And Bob didn’t simply stop there, he showed his love by giving every poor father $10,000. For all you non-believers, when was the last time YOUR GOD gave you $10,000? Yeah, that’s what I thought."
bob saget, god?


don't knock it till ya try it, kids

NY Times:
"Mr. Bush's so-called pre-emptive war, which has already cost so many lives, is being enveloped by the foul and unmistakable odor of failure. That's why the Pentagon is dispatching a retired four-star general, Gary Luck, to Iraq to assess the entire wretched operation. The hope in Washington is that he will pull a rabbit out of a hat. His mission is to review the military's entire Iraq policy, and do it quickly."

oh bushy boy, what have you done...

vh1 does it again

the lyrics to this song truly *are* awesomely bad. thank you vh1. i never would have realized.

Roxette - She's Got The Look Lyrics

1-2-3-4
walking like a man
hitting like a hammer
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter
tasty like a raindrop
she's got the look.

Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog
she's got the look.

chorus:
She's got the look.
(He's got the look.)
She's got the look.
(He's got the look.)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la she's got the look.

Fire in the ice naked to the t-bone is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum
shaking like a mad bull
she's got the look.

Swaying to the band
moving like a hammer she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean
kissing is the wet sand
she's got the look.

Chorus

walking like a man
hitting like a hammer
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter
tasty like a raindrop
she's got the look.

And she goes: na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Chorus

What in the world can make you so blue,
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go:
la la la la la...... na na na na na na na na na na na shes got
the look

na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look

na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look

na na na na na na na na na na na na na shes got the look

man, i want that one played at my wedding.

QOD

so katharina & uncle j got me a lovely wild words from wild women calendar for my bday. i have decided that hey, trees did not give their lives for my enjoyment alone, and thus i shall share today's (kinda still saturday's) quote with you:

just when you've decided that guy you can't have is one in a million, remember, that means there are 13 just like him in los angeles county alone.
-angela jones, actor

an interesting thought. optimistic? perhaps. yet really taking away from the preaching of, "you're unique, and you will always be special," from parents everywhere.

this is an interesting op ed article from the NY Times about the use of DDT to combat malaria... if you find interest in that sort of thing, i suppose...

sooo i'm slowly going stir crazy and i feel like i wanna vomit. nice!

it's been snowing the past 2 days, and i've been, ooh la la, in the house. not cool, joe.

oh, and let us not forget that once again, my fine academic institution has found a way to unnecessarily complicate my life once more. politics minors- be advised -internship credits now count. list of ppl who would have liked to have known this info A MONTH AGO. so yeah, less than 2 wks before my internship begins, i'm finding out that i could be getting legitimate credit for it. mother fuckerrr. seriously kids, check and recheck, be on everyone's back. not everyone is good at, or even doing, their job.

and sure, comedic relief.
this is one that only guys and some ill humored gals will enjoy:
