I get that if this had been real and train service had kept going, it would totally be all wtf this is a total tragedy omg. But I am inconvenienced and SERIOUSLY. CAN’T YOU JUST TIP THAT SHIT OVER AND FIGURE OUT IT’S EMPTY? WHAT PART OF THAT TAKES TWO HOURS. AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE TRACKS FOR TWO MILES?????? UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH rage.
Follow-up
To this. My house smells like metal + hamburger helper. And I think I have to throw my microwave away.

Oh. My. God.
I’ve been making an effort to bring my lunch to work so that I might reap the benefits of saving money and eating healthier (more healthy?). So tonight, after 12 hours of work, I decided to throw some quinoa in the microwave to take with me tomorrow.
Since I live like a bachelor, I cook pretty much everything in those gladware disposable containers. And I’ve never had a problem. Until...

List of things I would rather watch besides ice...
1. Anything
THAT’S IT. THANKS AGAIN, NBC.

For some reason, when I asked the waitress last night for a gin and tonic and a Jack on the rocks she brought me a gin and tonic and a gin on the rocks.
As a result, I have been on the couch all day and the most activity I’ve seen is 1- answering the door for Jimmy Johns delivery and 2- changing from pajamas to sweatpants. Another year older, and none the classier.

Saying something will be “on after the Olympics” is very misleading.
That is all.

Fact:
There is nothing wrong with foie gras macaroni and cheese. With cremini mushrooms, caramelized pearl onions, and gruyere. Washed down with a nice pinot noir.
So begins a weekend’s celebration of love and one of the funniest, smartest, most beautiful people to ever roam the earth (that would be me).
This makes me incredibly sad... →

I found another con.
Turns out the ultimate con is being selected for a jury and having to go back to court on your birthday (insert sad trombone noise here).
If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go drown my sorrows in cupcakes.*
And then go drown my cupcake sorrows at the gym.
*This was my first experience with Sugarbliss… all I can say is meh.

EVERY SINGLE TIME
I register to vote I get called for jury duty. So clearly I would picked again after registering for The Vote (YOU’RE WELCOME BARACK) and I have to go to jury duty today. I’ve been able to get out of it every other time, but this time it’s unavoidable. So I’ve been thinking about how horrible this will be, and here’s what I have so far:
Pros:
Get out of a day at...
I'm in a funk
and I think the only solution (I mean, viable solution… no healthy eating and exercise, duhsies) is eating my weight in carbs and looking at pictures of kittens.
Next up: listening to Jimmy Buffet on repeat until I go insane and think I’m in Margaritaville.

I’m trying real hard to keep it together right now.
My boyfriend came to get me around 7. We were going to dinner to one of our favorite Italian places. We had gone to this restaurant on our second date, and four years later, it’s become pretty special to us.
On my way outside, I noticed a rabbit. Not a huge shock as there are probably thousands of city rabbits around town. This one...
Super Bowl Sunday
ladybendover:
Since I’ve never been one to discourage copious amounts of eating, drinking, and manically rooting on football teams (nurture over nature, mon frère, I was brought up in a hardcore college football town), it wasn’t very hard for our friends to convince my boyfriend and I to host a Super Bowl shindig this weekend at our new ”can actually hold 15 people comfortably” apartment.

newsweek:
Bill Watterson is pretty great and thoughtful in this interview. Best part:
Since my “rock star” days, the public attention has faded a lot. In Pop Culture Time, the 1990s were eons ago. There are occasional flare-ups of weirdness, but mostly I just go about my quiet life and do my best to ignore the rest. I’m proud of the strip, enormously grateful for its success, and truly flattered...

Sweatpants, leftover Christmas ales and remembering I have Anchorman on DVD have won out.

Sooooo weather dot com says it’s going to be 12 degrees— but will feel like 8 degrees— at 4 AM (when the bars close and I’ll be pouring myself into a cab.
Decisions.
Things that have made my life in 2010 infinitely...
Marimekko bedding from Crate and Barrel
My new pho place
Pretty much every VV Brown song, ever
New towels
Finding a somewhat more complicated, yet somehow waaaay quicker route to the gym after work
Season 2 of Parks and Rec (partially helped 2009, but shut up)
Winter, Boo.
After today I can officially add something to the List of Things I Hate About Winter*:
Shocking myself on every single metal surface ever, including things that have very minute amounts of metal (like my purse, paperclips, other people, etc). If anyone knows of a portable humidifier I can throw in bag please remember that I have a birthday coming up. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks.
