troublingtemptations asked: LOL I didn't follow you randomly, I stumbled onto your blog and liked what I found. I'm Beth though lovely to make your virtual acquaintance. I too have an issue with flakes its positively infuriating when ou plan something and other people can't even be bothered to stay in touch. Anywho, might I remark on the hilarity of your choice of pictures to make an introductory post on?
My father and I have plans tomorrow
He says he’ll call to confirm place/time.
No calls this wknd.
I call him just now, no answer. Heh.
And people wonder why I can’t date flakes.
Yup. →
“What will suck: awesome trade deadline; possible no-hitter, but if Brett Favre...”
– Fuck the NFL
Sweet
Going to help a friend move in a bit (but only for a second). Currently sitting on my balcony eating lunch, drinking a cocktail, listening to funk floating up from the school down the block (having a party I guess), made a sporcle quiz, no work tomorrow, Breaking Bad tonight. Sweet.
And, lo, for here is the new JPBG Sporcle quiz,... →
“The Astros were on pace for 109 losses, and then just traded their 2 best...”
Definitely not in chinatown..
…But quite possibly at Odessa.
Conspicuous consumption
Considering there’s no reason to whip out an ipad on the subway aside from showing off and/or an staggering lack of self-awareness, I was glad when this young lady spilled dr. Pepper all over hers on the 4 train. (Would have been glad if it was a man, too, so hush.)
It makes me laugh..
…in a very sad way that banks charge you for not having enough money.
Talking to BofA rep named Dexter
Worried he might kill me.
But yeah..
…That movie was goofy and ridiculous but even I am not immune to that sweetness. And if loving Steve Carell is wrong, I don’t wanna be right! :)
I knew it!
That was indeed Josh Groban as Emma Stone’s boring original boyfriend.
Okay Contagion looks awesome
And gwynnie dies early.
Now it's footloose remake
STOP. I want my Steve Carell being vulnerable.
New year's eve trailer on...
…I have my ipod cranked to avoid it. Ew, ew, ew. And people will pay to see it. Stop.
“G. Lucas is working on a moving picture about the “Tuskegee Airmen.”...”
“Debt ceiling debate has been like a soccer match in which the only way to score...”
There have been some seriously evil folks on...
…but I’m finding this season particularly sad so far.
“Anyway, AMC once again avowed that viewers would definitely find out the answer...”
Informed Instigation: "Sex Ed" →
Rather self-explanatory.
There was a time...
…I’d say the summer of 07. I was hanging out with a close friend of mine who is now married (I don’t see him much these days, but… who wants to ride the G train? Heh. Hope all’s well, Mike). At the time, he was simply in a relationship with said future wife.
His sister was also in a rather serious relationship.
(No, Mike, seriously, this will not insult either of...
Well then
I’m good at rejection, really.
But sometimes it’s… just not fun in the least.
(And I’m not necessarily talking about dating, though that’s some of it. I’m going to be purposefully vague so as not to be petty.)

“This could also be “The Guy.” It works either way. I suspect it’s harder being the lone girl in a shop full of dudes than being the lone guy in a female-dominated office, but mainly I say that because I want to see the Men’s Rights dipshits show up in the comments section.”
Amny's laziness
I like this crossword bc it’s free and I can always do it in like 15 mins, which gets my day off to a positive start. But damn, using Rob Lowe and Item and Iota as clues on two consecutive days is laazy.
The best thing about staten island..
..is the ferry. And even that is pretty well irritating a lot of the time.
“So I guess the airports will be profiling blonde, white Christians now, right?”
Basically what a lot of us have been saying. →
No, wait!
There’s revolutionary history! There’s the site where the war ended! Oh, not where it ended? Oh, the site where they tried to make a treaty to end it but nothing actually happened? Sounds as inconsequential as everything else in SI.
More on SI
I’m at a ferry terminal. In Manhattan. The little video advertises the ‘esplanade,’ from which you can…see Manhattan (but not very well). Clearly this makes the sad little island less sad. Clearly.
Sad little SI
Among the items on the tourism reel at the ferry terminal : “SI borough hall! 3 minute walk to se 13 life size murals!” WELL I HAVE TO GO NOW! (I’d stop making fun of SI if it would stop being the only part of the city that is particularly anti-equality. So until they stop being pathetic, tease them I shall.)

I can’t top Russell Brand but I did want to offer some thoughts on addiction (hint: it’s not good!).
Happy pics on paper covers
Both amny and metro celebrating gay marriage, and rightfully so. A letter said it well, about people protesting, that it’s a pretty good thing when bigots are upset, since tolerance is what bothers them so much. But, heh, check out amny if you haven’t yet. Dude in the top right corner looks really unhappy to be getting married. Maybe they’ll be ny’s first gay divorce. Heh....
And this week's winner of the "Breaking Bad"...
…Mike the Cleaner.
The eyebrow guy at the car wash came in second.
“Learn to take yes for an answer.”
– God I love this show.

“Keep your thoughts with Norway, tell everyone about it all the time if you want...”
– This is directed at a few facebook friends, for sure.
Okay..
Seriously, they find these people at every game who are holding a giant American flag. But what if you don’t get on TV? Then you had to carry a giant flag just so you can hold it up why Kate Smith warbles from the dead.
By the way..
..It’s past midnight. It’s July 24th. Today, in my wonderful, fantastic, amazing home state, gay is fucking okay.
Okay..
..No more shots.
I have respect for Ray Gerald
I can’t hang with the bourbon like he can.
Worst thing ever
Subway musicians who actually suck. Most of them don’t. But when they do…
Bad sign
Even the breezy, cool ferry ride is.. not breezy and cool. Or, more accurately, it’s a warm-ass breeze. I am glad I’m going absolutely nowhere after 230 pm.
“Q: Can the Twins win a game against the Yankees in the postseason? Also, why did...”
“Why did you do this to me? I love this country.”
“Really? I’m...”
– Oh, Damages, you’ve hooked me in for the season, yes you have.
