On Kanye...

So we all saw or heard about the Kanye thing with Taylor swift on the VMAs, where He came up on stage and stole the microphone from her and told everyone that Beyonce should have won because she had "one of the best videos ever". Then at the end of the show Beyonce won video of the year and had Taylor come out so she could have her moment. Very classy of Beyonce. Meanwhile Kanye is a toolbag. But the best comment i heard came yesterday from my Friend Beth Lunan. As you may know Patrick Swayze passed away yesterday (very sad) but anyway, Beth had as her facebook status "I bet you five bucks that Kanye steals the microphone at Patrick Swayze's funeral and says that Michael Jackson had the best death of the year "

So horrible, but so wicked funny. Love it What an ass.

Culinaria!

SO i went to the new downtown grocery store today, Culinaria. LOVE IT! it is like mini whole foods but at better prices. It has wine tastings and fresh made sandwiches and a big salad bar!. It has a parking garage above it so you can park for free if you show your receipt when you exit. Its great! its not nearly as snobby as Straub's in the West End and I don't feel like I am risking my like like at Shoot'em up schnucks in Midtown. Its 5 minutes from my house so i think I am gonna start going there regularly. That is unless I'm feeling risky, then i might still go to Shoot em up. Try it out if you haven't been!

More like WORST BUY

SO I can't find my battery charger for my Digital SLR, and I figured that I would go shopping on this tax free weekend business, and get one. I make the trek to Brizzentwood and circumnavigate the cluster fuck that is Highway 40, and finally make it to Best Buy. I go to their camera section, which for once is not manned by nerdy McNerderson who wants to show me how great he is my using words that start with Giga or Mega. Guess what buddy, you work at fucking best buy. how are those health benefits? OH WAIT! Not so much. But i digress. I looked through the shelves that are apparently organized to help no one find anything ever. I find the batteries, and they have one charger that fits mine, and its 69 bucks! its a double charger, meaning it can charge two batteries at once. That is dumb.

A. Who needs two batteries? and upon further thought, that would mean you have 3 batteries! two need the ability to charge two at once means that you are using a third one while they charge. Excuse me, yes I'm gonna need the double because I'm gonna take a SHIT TON of pictures right now and cannot afford to stop for more than 10 seconds. NO

B. when did best buy become the refuge of compulsive camera operators? I go there because i am an amateur. what amateur needs a double charger? that's dumb. I asked if they had regular single chargers and he was all "ugh no" and then he scampered back to his post near the Guitar Hero paraphernalia. Best Buy is the Worst. Worst Buy.

In the Mix

SO Shelly has created new catch phrase (yet again) and so i am trying to add it to my regular arsenal of stolen catch phrases. The Phrase is "In the Mix". it can be used pretty much anywhere but usually means something like "in the world", or around. so you could say:

Hey Eileen? I havent heard from you in a while! where are you in the mix?

or

Sorry I could'nt make it to your party Dikembe, I had too much going on in the mix.

Its tough to pull off, but I am trying. I will never give up...

Thought of the day

I did not hit you, I simply high-fived your face

Do I know you?

Ok so I was on the loop having dinner at Pi (great organic pizza if you are interested) and we were going to get our car from the valet (because we are f-ing badass) and I saw BWaite walking down the street. I said whaddup and my mom said hi to him (yes i was with my mom, not so badass) and then not 5 -10 second later, this 85+ year old woman and her cane toting man friend came up to my mom and the lady threw her arms around my mom. She was uber-excited to see my mom and called her honey and darling. As my mom continued to make awkward small talk about the pizza, the hotel we were in front of, and a couple mentions from the old lady about her super senior man slave, Brian leans in and ask, "Who is this lady?" I had no idea, and assumed it was someone my mom knew, or perhaps a friend of the grandparents. So Brian takes off, and i see that the car is coming around, so i tell mom to cut the chit chat and get to gettin'. As we get in the car, she looks at me and says "Who the EFF was that?" (Sorry to use harsh letters)

Apparently she had no idea who the old lady was. The lady gave my mom a big kiss on the cheek with her wrinkles, lipstick smeared face and had no idea who my mom was. WTF? I of course called Brain and told him the news. He gave my mom two enthusiastic thumbs up for her acting skills. Seriously?

I Die...

OMJesus, I jsut got back from a site visit to the City Garden. (Awesome, you should go) but we were out there for an hour and I am officially drenched in sweatiness. HATE. Nothing better than strolling back into the office like the loser of a really bad wet tshirt contest. Check me out HR. I'm Kickass.

Lock it Up, Lock it in

Let me begin by saying welcome. (See what i did there?)

So I am told that i have a lot of crazy/interesting/awkward turtle shennanigans that go down in my vicinity .i have decided to start paying attention in life and write about them. We will see how long this lasts. I have an inkling that my lack of motivation for unnecessary responsibilties will get tehe best of me yet again, but until that day comes (which may be tomorrow) I will do my best!
