Jessica Alba's Enchilladas

Now that I'm back in Jersey I'm starting to really appreciate the unique grit and edge fellow Jersey-ians have which most bloomingtonians lack. It adds so much to the culture of Jersey.

I'm sitting in my car waiting to get my gas pumped today and some teenager said something offensive which provoked the guy pumping my gas which resulted in him yelling and calling him a mother f*cker. That would never happen in Bloomington because: A. In Bloomington you pump your own gas and B. In general people are more polite. And what's not to love about the bizarre half Philadelphia half Long Island/New York accent. Where else can you find such a rare blend? And there is always the grade A Jersey trash which can often be found sulking around the AMC 24.

Ok time to brush my teeth and get ready to complete my jersey experience by going to a bar or two to celebrate my friend's birthday. Typical Jersey-ians' obnoxious/tacky factor increases exponentially with the amount of alcohol consumed. God I missed New Jersey.

I hope my post doesn't come off as offensive. Who am I kidding- I don't care, I'm from Jersey, I share whatever opinions I have off the top of my head without hesitation.

The truth is there are offensive, edgy, obnoxious tacky people like that found in Jersey everywhere across America, but there are more in New Jersey because the state is so densely populated and they would really rather be in New York or Philadelphia rather then stuck somewhere in gray area between.

Any time's a good time for a Bloody Mary as far as I'm concered

Now that I'm 21 and therefore a lot more fun I've found myself drinking in the middle of the day much more often. But what's a glass of wine with dinner, and you know a Bloody Mary after and then a couple Jello Shots after that? I mean some one bought that liquor (still not sure who) so someone else could drink it and enjoy it with lets say some turkey tacos for dinner.

It's not like now that I'm 21 I suddenly feel I have to accept the offer to drink at every possible moment, I just don't want to be rude. Also it doesn't help that Aly and I just cleaned out the pantry and were suddenly inspired to write a book of all the alcoholic concoctions we could come up with from the random junk in our pantry.

It's summer, no school or stressful work loads, and furthermore it's Memorial day weekend! So I'm going to party it up thank you very much and I don't appreciate people questioning whether or not it's a good idea for me to finish a bottle of wine in one sitting...by myself.

I'll drink to that.

Lets see if that batch of Jello shots are ready.

On the Tellie-v whoa oh oh oh on the Tellie-v

Did not want to roll out of bed this morning so I made myself waffels to ease the pain. Actually I make myself waffels everyday to ease the pain so really this is no different. Here's to hoping that today at work I can spend the entire time watching episodes of the greatest show ever created for television and will with any luck go on forever and ever and into syndication with out losing its edge: 30 Rock.

Tina Fey is one funny lady. Prior bug problem has seemed to subside and the land man (lord) is supposedly gonna spray the outside of the house this weekend.

I am worried that now I have realized the number of things available to me that I can watch on my computer via my netflix account I will never stop constantly watching TV shows.

Maybe I'm ok with that, Grey's Anatomy and The Hills (don't judge me) are over so why not. Actually the next season of the Hills is starting in August (again get off your high horse and stop judging me haven't you ever heard of a guilty pleasure) but what am I suppose to do during June and July? Seriously.

P.S. sprikets are running rampant in Bloomington

Midnight showings attended by moi of the latest Indiana Jones movie: 1
Bugs found in Aly's bed during her minor breakdown after realization that house is possibly infested with bugs: 1
Likeliness of going to bed before 4 am for the second night in a row: slim to none
Possibility of finishing the first season of 30 Rock today (this morning) and sleeping till 1 p.m.: High

The funny thing is Aly is the one who freaks out in the presence of a bug, and she is also the first to find something hard and successfully pulverize it.

Luckily my showdown with the enormous spider (which in a stroke of pure genius I named Bob in hopes of actually falling asleep that night) on my closet door was the finale in Bonnie's creepy crawly escapades. Although he did seem interested in a sequel when he made a surprise appearance on my kitchen table.

Single and looking to mingle as I am not interested in execution

Brilliant, even looking at CNN.com can give single women the world over even more reason to fear for their lives. As if perpetually single women don't feel some kind of guilt already for being with out a man.
Slaughtered for being single
What a horribly sad and frighting article.

At least in America single women are passively shunned and cornered about their love life by their friends in annoyingly happy relationships.
Cue opening credits of Bridget Jones Diary

Coffee coffee run run run

Off to edit silly article I was up until four writing. For really no good reason. It's not like I was doing something important before four in the morning. 2:30 a.m. just seemed like a good time to start something. It didn't help that I can watch 30 Rock on my computer thanks to netflix.com. One of the small pleasures of still having a p.c. I think it's a reward. Like "Thank you for stickin with us p.c.s even though you know Macs are awesome and look really cute and clean and do really fun stuff."

Ok time to down this coffee- bike- edit- come home to watch sweet episodes of 30 Rock- drag my feet as I go back to the IDS to design (ehhhh.) BREAK!

Exercising might also be a good idea. Maybe after a couple hours of brainless TV. Yes that sounds like a good idea. Can't type more... coma like symptoms beginning to ensue...

Lathargic Pizza Lady

Pizza- eaten (spinocoli, ver ver good choice)
Stomach- bloated as ever

Now in food induced coma. Who knows when I'll wake up. Until them I'll have to stare mindlessly at the Television.

Coffee might quite possibly ease me to my senses. Only one way to find out.

Listen to this

Regina Spector - The Call (from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian)

Cheese Pizza

I wish I had a cheese pizza to eat right now. It would taste delicious in my belly. Correction: it would taste delicious in my mouth and it would make me feel unimaginably large and bloated once it reaches my belly. Still it would be worth it.

Movies I have seen in the past 4 days: 4
Movies I have cried in: 1

That gives me a crying ratio of 1 in every 4 movies. Sad. I use to never cry in movies.

Books I meant for myself to read this summer: infinite
Books actually read so far: 1/2

Cups of Coffee made in the past couple of days: +10
Germans I have met in the past week:2
Bar crawls attended which did not end with my head in a dumpster throwing up till kingdom come: 1

Well done. And somehow I'm still able to fall asleep at night. However I can't get myself to roll out of bed in the morning and live a meaningful life.

Sounds about right.
