Wow late night commercials are crazy.
Just saw one about ExtenZe - I guess it grows the penis.  How does that work? Weird.

Had one of those classic nights tonight.  Andrea, Hill and I went to the movies to see" The Other Boelyn Girl" and it was absolutely fantastic.  Hillary said the story wasn't 100% accurate but I liked it anyways and so did she.  We were running really late and figured it probably wouldn't be sold out - we get in there and there are NO seats left.  We sat in the front row.  No lie.

Then we went to Rick's Cafe after for some drinks and food and some serious girl talk.  I love the boys but sometimes it's really great to go out with the ladies.  Talked about everything under the sun from sex in funny places to diets while enjoying some dirty martinis.  Totally Sex in the City except it was Randolph and well less cool.

Also realized tonight how much I can't wait till the summer.  Can't wait to roll the windows down, leave the jacket at home and enjoy the fresh air.  Nerddd.

Until next time I leave you with this note:

Today has been the busiest day. In lieu of having a martini tonight this is what has been getting me through the day:

Mark Ronson - Version.

Get it.  Serious.

I can't stop watching that Pam and Jim video. Swoon. I have already watched Season 2 for a second time.
Little bit in love with John Krasinski. Just a little.

So the Oscars blew? Amy Adams was the only redeeming part of the Oscars. She killed it. And ALL by herself. I wasn't as impressed with Kristin Chenoweth as I thought I would be. She was just ok. I saw Juno, Michael Clayton, and There Will Be Blood and of the course the one I haven't seen - No Country for Old Men - wins. But Robyn and Hill did and they said it was stinky and pointless.

I liked Juno but I really didn't think it was Oscar worthy good. Same with Ellen Page. Anyone can be cute and witty and use lots of abbreviations? I do it everyday hello! There Will Be Blood was absolutely fantastic though. I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! Amazing. Best movie line ever?

Speaking of - the skit of "I drink your milkshake" was SO funny on SNL the other night. Which gets me to excited because it was NEW! Say what you want about SNL in the past years but to see writers writing again and NEW tv made me so excited. Oh and Tina Fey was the host = win.

April 10 = New Office Episodes. Counting down starting..... now.

It's offical.  I have become a Jim and Pam Fan Girl.
I am crazy obsessed with the Office as of current.
Like obsessed.  Casino Ep?  Are you kidding me.  Anywho.  Being a nerd I wanted to find a nice Jim and Pam montage from the internetz and I think I found the best one:



Yeah Love it.
Seriously.

Happy New Year to the 3 people maybe that read my blog!

Last time I blogged I was on my way to the cruise!!  It was amazing.  The time of my life.  I can't bare to look at my pictures (ok it's not that bad lol) without getting wicked sad.  The wedding was flawless and it only rained once but it was still better than ANY rain we get back here in Beantown.  

I tryed to copy and paste the pics and such from my livejournal entry but it didn't work quite as well so I linked it here.

Christmas was AWESOME.  Got some great stuff, new Coach bag (which I will talk about in a second), Heroes Season 1!!! (even though I've seen it but I love it) the Office Season 3, One Tree Hill Season 4, Harry Potter, Twilight,  some LLBean stuff and other christmas staples.

Well I guess the Coach bag wasn't a real Christmas present seeing as I bought half of it for myself.  I had $125 worth of gift cards, $50 from mom and $75 from Lyd Phil and Alysse from my birthday.  Also I had one of the hard to get a hold of Preferred Customer Event coupons which gives you 25% off.    So I decided I NEEDED to get a new bag.  The bag I wanted was $448, then 25% off and my cards made it $227!!! Not bad for a Bleecker Collection bag.

Everyone meet Brandy.
And duh me being wicked excited about her.



I stuck with the tradition of naming my bags so I decided to call her Brandy.  She looks like a Brandy color.  I was going to call her "Brit" because the real name of the color is British tan but it would remind me of Britney Spears and that's not happening.

When I bought it in the store I really didn't see it.  They take the name and # of the bag you want, they go back and get it while your paying and boom you're done.  You don't even really get to see it.  So I get home and see that it wicked scratched! I understand it's Brandished Leather and it's supposed to GET scratchy but not out of the box.  So I exchanged it and they sold out of them in the store so I had to wait another week to get it.  She came even more beautiful than before.  I just was out in the rain and got it all wet and freaked out minorly.

PS Why is it thundering in the Winter?!?

Anywho.  While I was on vaca the big boss was coming from Headquarters for big news.  Bummed I wasn't going to be there, I asked my coworkers to send me an email after he leaves and tell me what it was.  I prayed to god I wouldn't be out of a job when I got back ie. Sorry guy's we're closing the Boston office etc.  So I get back that next Monday and I have a HUGE package of stuff on my desk.  We were actually bought out by a larger company in Minneapolis!   I'm psyched because they're benefits are MUCH better, they have a TON of offices around the US and I've never worked for a bigger company.

HR and IT came from Minn. and pimped us out.  I thought my computer was fine but they're IT guy was like "Why do you have a PC?" and I'm like "Well that's what I got when I started here"  so he goes "Ok... we're getting you a Mac".  So now I have a Black MacBook (twinsies with my White MacBook at home).  It's very pretty and amazing that I can bring it home and put all my work stuff on it.  And I can get my use my entourage (Mac's version of Outlook) at home!!! No going to the office on the weekends for ONE email.  So I'm still using two computers because I don't know yet what to do with all my PC stuff (getting to that today - I'm sure it's going to be a huge project.

Also fun things about my "new" job - I get to go to Minneapolis on Monday for seminars and orientation.  While the other two women I work with in my office are kind of bummed about it I'm super stoked.  Never been to the midwest! Excited to meet everyone over there.  I'm excited to learn about how they run their office and such and I hear we're staying in the nicest hotel in Minneapolis.  I'm crossing my fingers for a detour to the Mall of America.

Another new aspect of my job is doing time sheets by 15 minute intervals.  Crazy yes but you don't realize how organized it makes you.  I actually had to do away with my Coach Planner (your welcome Robyn) and I moved down to a At-A-Glance.  Much more room to write and it's less hefty than the coach one.

Ah can't believe I'm leaving in less that 2 weeks for the cruise!
So psyched you don't even know.

Picked up my dress last week. To my surprise and excitement it's WAY too big. Like I have to physically hold it up if I wanted it to stay on. However the people at Manhattan Bridals are super nice and instead of telling me I needed to get the whole thing taken in they are just going to bring the back in so at least it will fit on top and then will just be flowy. It's very cute but I still feel huge in it. Maybe cause I tried it on with Missy who is like 5'1" and way smaller than me. Not sure if I've lost weight or if the lady measured me wrong. I also bought the Spanx but it doesn't really make a difference. I'm going to keep them though. They are so comfy and literally make me look two sizes smaller!

The bridal shower was so fun! Hill and John for lots of cute stuff and we had the perfect amount of food. Missy got the most amazing cake from Konditor Meister and yeah it was a good time. Lots of work but fun! Andrea was the best for letting us have it at her house!

Hillary already gave me my maid of honor present. Two gorgeous Coach bracelets. Yeah bet you didn't know Coach had jewelry either.
This is one and this is the other.
Missy and Robyn both got the second one also.

They're so cute. I was super excited.

Hillary's Bachelorette Party was also amazing. I saw a side of me that I don't want to see again any time soon. I'm the one known for being so laid back but I was running that show like a slavedriver. We had to be at dinner by 7 and then Jake Ivory's by 9:30. JI's threatened me that if we weren't there he would charge my credit card $200 bucks and throw away our reservation. Seriously.

I probably should have a heart attack. Dinner was AMAZING. Seriously everything was super. We went to Teatro in the theatre district. Drinks were awesome. Food was better. Hillary enjoyed herself.

Made it over to Jake Ivory's by 9:32 and the guy at the door assured me we could have been there by 10:30 and still been ok. He was super nice. The guy on the phone was not so much. I have never been there but damn it's officially my favorite place in Boston. It's right behind the Green Monster and def the best piano bar in the world. They brought out 4 bottles of Champagne for the 15 of us. And then brought us out the x-rated cake for Hill.
It said "Hillary the best is yet to CUM".


Equipped with a big rice krispy penis. Wish this picture was from the front lol.

They got her up on stage a few times and she HAD to give the piano guy $20 for Tiny Dancer. It's tradition. At the end of the night Robyn and I ran around getting guys to kiss Hillary. It was hilarious till we found the guy who wanted to kiss all of us. He was hot though lol.

We made our way home around 2am. Drunk and full of energy we ate our leftovers and chatted till about 4:30am. Woke up with John standing above us on his bed asking when we were going to breakfast. He told us about his party and we told us about Hills. Went to breakfast, ordered a ton of food and ate hardly any.

Went home and took a solid 3 hour nap. Like I haven't taken a nap like that since college. Dan had asked me to come to Dane Cook that night at TD Bank North and I was like Ok I'll sleep for 1 hour and watch some Heroes and get ready. Well I wake up and I'm like mmm it's definitely dark out. I jumped out of bed chatted with my mom and before i knew it Dan was there to come get me.

Dane Cook was insane! Great seats (thanks Dan!) and a good time overall. I got nachos and they were kind of wet but I ate them anyways. I took one picture from our seats with my camera phone but it's not so good.


But yeah you get it.

He was hilarious.

Back to the real world. Short week (and my boss told me I could leave early-ish tomorrow if I wanted). WOO!

Thanksgiving at my house then Missy and Nat's place!

Friday doing the after thanksgiving sales! I was going to by a new digi cam but I really can't afford it right now so I'm mostly going for some cheap TV shows on DVD lol.

That is all.

In less than a month Hillary will be getting married and I will begrudgingly go on a cruise ship.
Yikes!

The wedding I am excited about but the cruise still makes me a lil Queezy.

I got everything. My passport is on it's way, got my flight to Miami, and getting my dress next week.

Course between all this is planning her Bridal shower and Bachelorette party have been stressful. I actually LOVE planning stuff but people are NOT rsvp'ing. I mean hello? I just think it's rude. I would have just sent out an email if people were just going to disregard the invitations I spent hours on. Seriously hours and a cramped hand. Bridal shower is saturday and I'm really looking forward to it. We worked really hard on it and made alot of with what we have. It's at Andreas house so that helps alot and about 5 of us are contributing food and drinks so it makes it easy on all of us. She does know about it unfortunately but she needed to know what day it was so she could take off work because she can't afford to just take days off. Whatev. Hopefully the rest will be a surprise.

Bachelorette party is going to be AWESOME. Can't reveal the details (i'm almost sure Hillary doesn't read my blog but just in case) but it's going to be fun.

I'm going to get Spanx
for under my dress just to make sure I look my fly-ist (yeah I did). I've heard great things about them but has anyone had any experience with them? They seem fun and great. Need to get a strapless bra too and possibly some new makeup (I know I know me makeup?) but this is one of my best friends wedding and I'm going to want to look at these pictures forever. Haven't decided on the hair yet.

Stress.

Quick update on my exciting (but not so much) life.

My birthday was awesome. I got new Marc Jacobs perfume Daisy, Nip/Tuck season 4, Ugly Betty season 1, some silly High School Musical stuff and possibly the best gift $75 Coach Gift Card. However I am saving it
because my mom said she'd get me another for Christmas so I could add to it and get a real nice Coach bag. After the last few months I'll fucking deserve it.

Went to Salem two days after my birthday and it was awesome. Possibly what a textbook fall day should be forever. Ate at the Salem beer Works outside and had a grand time.
Did a witch tour (which was lame but essential) and instead of going to a haunted house we took over this kind of fancy-ish bar and screamed for the red sox!

PS Red Sox World Series Champs
again!?!!?!? WTF!! Yeah it's not as exciting as 3 years ago (which is odd cause I wasn't even in Boston) but amazing regardless. Once we were on a roll we were unstoppable. Hope the parade is Thursday and NOT tomorrow.

I ended up being White trash for halloween and not paris Hilton a la jail. I had such a hankering to wear teal eyeshadow, ugly fake nails (that lasted 2 minutes total) and fake tattoos. I think i did look quite trashy and the ironic part was people kept telling me how good I looked with makeup on. Rando. Pat was Garth and Robyn was a scary ish vampire - she wore fangs and everything. She didn't drink anything and I couldn't really hear what she was saying when she talked but i guess it worked anyways.

Speaking of Vampires I saw "30 Days of Night" yesterday. It was actually quite excellent but made my stomach do flips. I can usually handle grossness but this was just yucky. Good movie overall though. I think I might like Josh Hartnett again.

Some pictures for your viewing pleasure before I leave.


Yeah I totally got the High School Musical game for my birthday. I'm sure this was the only time it will be played.


My martini out for my birthday. Caramel apple martini. Had little sliver of a caramel apple on the slide. I had to take a picture of it before I ate it!


Hillary really did get me this. It's not your imagination. She knows I love the Zefron.


Biggest and best Mojito for reals at said Bar we took over.

Phone saga # 810.

The other day I realized some of the buttons on my phone weren't working.
For instance I couldn't erase notes/lists that I made. The Erase button wouldn't connect.

Also (sounds really trival) my Navigaton wouldn't work. The OK button to launch it was just not working,

So when I went to the mall yesterday I went by the Verizon store and they gave me a new one. Now there are total pros and cons to this. Pro is that the phone got totally mangled by the case that ate it (refer to post a few ones down) so getting a new one would make me happy. Con is that I lose every picture from Vegas and other things I took photos of. Last weekend @ Greg's I took a video of Hannah and Autumn singing and dancing with their tooth tunes. Also lost my fun ringtones but I think they gave me a credit because in my phone now I have like 4 credits when I only had one from my exchanged phone.

Anywho. I'm not taking the protective sticker off the front of the phone or off the main screen in the inside.
I thought it would look silly but you can't even tell it's there.

Friday night Pat and I went to see Playin Dead again. It was sooo fucking cold out!!! It wasn't cold in Braintree and when we bot into Boston it was like 38 degrees. WTF! But we got to listen to some tunes and watch the Red Sox own the Indians (for that night we will not talk about Sat night). I got an Octoberfest that smelled like Pee and one of Pat's friends tried to convince me it was the pumpkin spice in it - lies. Later I got wine and Pat was so excited when he realized he was going to two halloween parties that he hit my wine glass therefore flipping it down my shirt. I was jinxed that night. We left around midnight and got detoured through Copley and Pat was making me laugh till I was almost crying.

EDIT: Pats's recount of the evening is WAY better. His blurty is in my links over there <--------

Saturday Robyn and i saw We Own the Night which obvs I saw because of Joaquin Phoenix. Good lord I love him. The movie was actually quite decent but I'm REALLY excited for Reservation Road, another movie with Joaquin Phoenix and I'm also reading the book right now. I go two years without a new Joaquin movie and now two in two weeks! AND one being my birthday week! What a treat!!!

Yes it's true I will be a quarter century aka 25 on Thursday. Yikes.

PS. I want to see Legally Blonde on Broadway! I've been watching it via MTV and it looks so damn good.

Wednesday, October 10, 2007

la laa.

So I'm sitting here stuffing mailers for the new PB product and listening to the new Foo Fighters (good shit btw) and I have decided to update the blogspot.

Not like anyone cares. So emo.

I have finally decided on a Halloween costume. Thanks to Annie for the past two years I've actually had to come up with a costume after avoiding it for so many years.

Hill, Robyn and I went to Halloween Express in Weymouth. They had some really awesome costumes and I was going to dress up as Professor Trewlawny from Harry Potter because Hill is going to be Hermione, John is going to be Harry and Robyn is going to be Bellatrix - and yes we're nerds we like to match.

I really wanted to be Alice and Wonderland but the costume was so skanky. I had hopes it would fit but I felt as though the skirt would be WAY too short. I finally saw a costume for Princess in Prison aka Paris Hilton circa jail time!

The costume was hideous but I can totally make one!!
So that's what I'm going to be. I'm going to make my hair super flat, get some handcuffs, HUGE glasses and a little stuffed puppy to carry around!!

Best idea ever? Y/Y??

I'm going to stencil LA County Jail on the front of the shirt and stencil Hilton on the back.

Fucking sweet.

My office looks like a tornado came and blew through it - I can't wait till this mailing is DONE!!

So stoked!

So in my previous post I posted the picture I took of the editor interviewing one of the Sales guys from PB.
I was so stoked about it and I've checked the Bicycling website since Sunday and nothings come up.

In the world of PR you can get an editor to talk to you - you can send samples and they can give you confirmation that yes they will use it, but things can always fall through - so you can imagine my excitement when I decided to check the site out today for shits and giggles and look what's up there! The interview I set up. I really felt like a mini big shot! David asked me what I thought he should highlight and where they should stand. I cut the Happy Hour line so I could get the beer (with the PowerBar logo pint glasses) in their hands.



So watch it. If for no other reason that I was a rockstar for 10 minutes.

***
Makes me feel like this - without the brain drilling and all that nonsense.



Now I must start working on my report to feature that and another video I scored.

ROCKSTAR.

View of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino from where Carson, Katie and I ate dinner Tuesday night.
I played tourist of course. That light/water show will forever impress me!




What's the West Coast without a trip to The Coffee Bean (my first). PS Lauren that is a Vanilla Latte that I fell in love with.


The entrance to Tao which needed to be documented. Gorgeous marble tubbs filled with candles and rose petals. Hello!
Outside of Tao after we ate there was a little red carpet set up I guess for people going in if they wanted to be silly and pose in front of it.
Andy and I got a photo in front of it and it's on one of their cameras. I neeeddddd it.





This was the ever growing line at our happy hour. Never seen so many people excited for Sierra Nevada beer before. And I still didn't get any. But I had numerous people tell me they went to college where it was brewed.

Side story.

This editor I met with tells me the story about how it's brewed in Chico, California and that's where he attended college.

Me: haha.

Editor: What's funny?

Me: I think that's where one of the characters on the OC was from. Chico.

Editor: Ryan. No he was from Chino.

*pauses*

Editor: Can't believe I know that and just admitted to watching that god awful show.


* We then talked about the demise of the OC and how Chuck (also by Josh Schwartz) is already more awesome than the OC ever was.





One of my favorite moments of the whole show. This editor (the one with the camera) met with me earlier and was doing a montage of Happy Hours and wanted to talk to a sales guy. Sales guys are typically personality free and not very interesting. I sweated it out asking them if they'd do an interview. That guy in the blue was the 4th guy I asked who finally said yes he'd do it. David you were my rockstar!


You can't see in that picture but they're drinking out of PowerBar pint glasses that I really want to get my hands on.

MM I'm knee deep in post Vegas follow up and reports but I thought it appropriate for a quick update.

-someone stole my cell phone. yeah lamepants.
-my company bought me a new one. A very pretty one. I tryed to link to it but Verizon is ghey. It's the enV. Envy.
-Got a nice case for it.
-dropped said phone and said case broke. nice.
-now I can't get the fucking case off and my fingers are purple from trying to do so.
-did the Vegas thing.
-worked my pretty little head off and learned more than I could ever wrap my head around.
-decided West Coast may be the perfect place for me because my hair looked hot everyday.
-Went to celeb hot spots like Tao and Light. Saw no celebs.
-Saw Jason Biggs yesterday outside the movies in Boston. Go fig.
-ate better in vegas than I have in my entire life. Thanks for taking good care of me.
-decided that yes - I can actually get ready, look decent and pack my suitcase in 8 minutes.

Ugh.

I did a great job in Vegas. Trade shows are interesting places. I talked to lots of media even if they didn't want to talk to me. Whatever - you come to our booth for snacks and I can't talk to you. Whatevs.com. I gave my card to anyone who'd listen and give me a minute.

I'm getting better at being more forward and not being so shy about bothering people.
Good/bad? lol

One question I got 100 times in Vegas was "if you're from Boston how come you don't have an accent". Got me thinking - I really don't. Thank god. I love my hometown but I have become completely devoid of having an accent. I guess it's a good thing. I think they are cool but sometimes Boston accents sound completely trashy.

My fucking phones case is driving me up a wall. Biggest waste of $25 EVER!
It made my phone even dirtier and ugly.
Then when I drop it it breaks? And now I can't get it off.
I'm going to go to the Verizon store after work tonight in hopes they can take it off while saving my phone.

Back to work.

Lord I love the new Rilo Kiley album.
I know I know - I am the ONLY one in this world who seems to think it's really good and fun.

Can't wait to see them next Friday woo!

I just scored a pretty rad placement in Men's Health magazine. Mostly because I am awesome and me and the editor go way back (to May but hey who's counting) and he remembers me from my old job. He was the only editor drinking @ the event and asked me if it was weird. I said "No! If I was in there I'd have a glass of wine in my hand." He leaves and comes back with some wine for me. Love at first sip. I then proceeded to knock it over onto his TIMBUK2 bag and all of my remaining nametags. Oops.

I love making connections. I need to start making my own contacts and this is a good start.

I already have a friend @ Bicycling as well. We are going to meet up in Vegas to one talk about the new PB product and have coffee. I suggested we could meet at the booth but he suggested coffee. I like him already. He was super stoked at how many energy gels I sent him and told me I had first pick at him in Vegas.

Can't believe Vegas is offically less than two weeks. I am excited/nervous and everything else. I know I really have to show what I can do because this will pretty much guarantee me a place @ the next trade show. I'm working REAL close with one of our more fashion-y (because I'm clearly the fashion go to gal - yeah I know)clients and they were telling me how excited they were for Magic and if they get in I'll probs be able to go. But apparently the application process is really long and hard. Quiksilver was denied! Like they really need a trade show though. Huump.

VMAs = WHACK.
Not even going to say her name because it sickens me how much press she has gotten from her nosedive to the Z list.

Robyn and I had a bit of a blast from that past the other night where we watched old Nsync videos and we found the 2000 VMAs where that same aforementioned person who's name shall not be named performed and fucking blew the house down. Christina also performed that year along with Nsync and others.

Surprisingly I heard that this years VMA's had the most viewers in like 7 years. Does that mean it's not going anywhere for a long time?? Darn.

Wednesday, September 05, 2007

You know you're in PR when your client tells you that Owen Wilson was in the boutique a few days before he tried offing himself and all you think of is that you're excited that he tried because now the paps are taking LOTS of photos of him and deep inside you're hoping a praying he'll be wearing the shirt he bought.

My labor day weekend was pretty fabulous.
I bought a new Coach bag Saturday. Yep Yep I did.
I decided that I really wanted a nice professional black tote bagish. So I went to the outlets because everything is ALWAYS on sale.
Coach has the BEST outlet because everything really is always on sale and it's mostly always a good deal.

That is the lovely gal I picked up while there!!!
It's HUGE!
It was originally $409, then on clearance to $259 then 20% off that.
I ended up getting it for $218 with tax. Hey I said my limit was $200! What's 18 bucks for style right.
The SA was telling me also that the bag was sent from the Coach boutique and wasn't originally made for the outlet. It also came with a boutique dust bag.
It's the little things I suppose.

Went to a party @ Nikki's that turned out to be quite entertaining.
Lots of body parts shown and lots of drinks were had. But really whats a party without a little boob.

Lounged in the pool all day Sunday.

Monday lounged in the pool again with Hill and then we went on a spree to Target and then we went to Andreas to see the new addition to her family lil Rory. So cute and so little!!
Can't wait to go out for celebratory drinks!

Had a tres stressful day at work and even using my new bag couldn't cure it.
I feel like I am just bogged down at work and on top of EVERYTHING one of my coworkers asked me if I needed any help. It's ok for me to feel like I have too much work but when someone else notices it stresses me out more.
I know she's just trying to help and she's amazing but it just made me feel worse.

So I stayed real late trying to make sure I finished everything.
I felt just sick and I missed my aerobics class so I went to the gym for just cardio and sweat out all my stress.
I actually feel alot better than before the gym so yay!

More later.

Friday was sure a night of debauchery!
It was actually Missy and Nat's housewarming party. (which PS their apartment is amazing. I want to move there. I'm offically looking for a roomate because I believe the one bedrooms there are quite expensive. They have a washer/dryer, a patio, HUGE living room, and their own bathrooms.)

After we were sufficiently marinated someone thought it would be a grand idea to go swimming in the community pool. Apparently it closes @ 9 but they have a key. We got down there and found out that we weren't the only ones with the idea. Hillary and I ( and some random dude) decide we're going to go in the hot tub. Mind you sober Kristen would never take her pants off and just jump into a hot tub - but drunk Kristen would and did. The random guy kept trying to show us his junk. He had a cute butt but a small peen.

After the hot tub we were going to go in the pool but I realized how freezing I was even though it was wicked hot out. Before we went back into the apt I took my sweater off I put my sweatshirt on. The random douchey guy kept telling me the sweater looked nice on me while it was wet. Nice line dude.

Someone decided it would be really fun to play Spin the Bottle. I remember playing it when I was a kid and ONLY wanting to kiss the boy I liked. This time it was a free for all. I got the douchey guy and he damn near choked me and stuck his tongue down my throat. I immediately felt the need to be checked for herpes. Kissed the dude who looked like Harry Potter and my best friends fiance. All in good fun.

I actually thought the spontaneity in me was gone after talking about all the random stuff I did in college last week to a friend - but it's back and it wants to come out an play.

I was really drunk. So we all chillaxed and I left finally around 4, went home, took a shower, tried watching the first ep of Dead Like Me season 2 but fell asleep

You know when you go to bed still drunk how hard it is to stay asleep. I really want to know the science of this. Is it because the alcohol is so active in your stomach and it keeps waking you up? Mom and Roger called me @ 830 am asking me to put the filter on the pool on. Much to my sleepyness I got up and went out and practically gagged because it was so fucking hot out already. Went in back to bed for like an hour before Robyn called me.

Went for breakfast with Hill Robyn and john. Still can't believe what I ate. Totally got a big bacon omelette and I COVERED it with tabasco. WHY? I didn't get sick and I actually enjoyed it quite much but I felt sick for the rest of the day.

Saw Superbad which was really funny but not funnier than Knocked Up. The whole period stain thing was kind of disgusting, but it was mostly hilarious. McLovin was the best dude in that movie, followed by Evan (played by George Michael Bluth aka Michael Cera who I am in love with offically) and Jonah Hill who was kind of my hero who actually wasn't that spectacular in the film. Despite how much he looks like Robby :)

Relaxed mostly all day sunday and went to Cheesecake Fac with Annie. Got pasta and felt really bad about it. But it was fucking amazing.

I really need to buckle down with the diet again. I was doing so good until that pizza last week. Then last night I ate ice cream after my walk and while it was really good I felt such hate towards myself after. I'm going to get a yummy salad for lunch for reals.

My power outlet in my car broke so I have been without ipod connection in my car for like 4 days and I think it's crushing my morale. Do you realize how AWFUL the radio really is??? Like it's not so bad when I leave work because I kind of enjoy listening to Toucher and Rich on WBCN because they are funny. But in the morning it's torture! It took me roughly 25 minutes to get to work today and I heard that fucking Fergie song twice and a Pink song that sucked also twice. The rest was stupid talk. I have to go to Honda to see how much the replacement is but I need to do it soon.

Getting actually really nervous about Vegas. My first trade show and it's for our biggest client! Yesterday my boss was like I hate telling people what do and boss people around but you REALLY have to do your research and know your stuff.. The client will pretty much be over my shoulder the whole time. Like for real this may dictate how and when I go to any other trade shows. Just got butterflies thinking about it.

Rents are going camping this weekend so I'm super stoked to have the place to myself. Hoping to have a get together of some sort to drown my sorrows over the end of the summer.

I beat my first song on hard on Guitar Hero. Watch out now.

Put tonight in the record books.
Not only did I jump into a hot tub with random people half naked but I also played spin the bottle.

Ok so the new celebrity hot-spot in the area is totally the new Cheesecake Factory in Braintree.

About 3 weeks ago Steve Carrell was in by himself and he had a pulled pork sandwich and diet coke (per my good gossip getting BF). Last weekend Mr David Fucking Beckham was in!! YES! David Beckham sans his alien-esque wife. Didn't give a fabulous tip but was also bothered by FOX 25 during after this meal.

Then a few days ago for the second time JoJo and her boyfriend Freddy Adu (soccer player) were in eating dinner. From what I heard she is very sweet and really skinny.

When's Nicole Richie and Joel Madden coming in?! Such an untapped resource.

PS I totally beat Guitar Hero on medium! I'm that much closer to be in the Rock Band.

Told my boss about the whole CC debacle today to see what she thought. She's going to bring it up to Joe the building manager to see what he thinks. She def thinks it's mighty shady.

What's not mighty shady is my love for High School Musical 2! I'm not sure why we enjoyed it so much. Maybe it was Zac's "Bet on it" sequence, or Sharpays fabulousness. Or wait maybe the fact that we rewinded the baseball scene twice. You know I have no shame about it either. How often do you watch something just for the pure cheese of it, something you don't have to analyse (even though we totally did) and just have fun with. Drink of choice was boxed Sangria by Franzia. Yum.

Saturday I lounged, did laundry, washed and cleaned my car top to bottom, made chili, went to Best Buy for my much needed memory card and also bought the new Rooney album which I love. I also watered the flowers cleaned the pool and organized some of my junk. The most exciting part of my day though was finally breaking into medium on Guitar Hero. I finally see how John can sit there all day and just keep playing. I played for four hours! FOURR HOURS. Now that I can save my game I have become that more competitive. Last night I made it till the end and I ONLY have to finish Freebird which I was able to make it 86% the way through before failing. I think I am going to try it on practice mode later. Maybe Friday because I serioulsy can not get in GH time during the week.

Don't know if I mentioned this last week but I totally sprained my right ankle last Wednesday night pre CC freak out. I am proud to say that I was not drunk this time (per last summers LEFT ankle fracture) but I was actually quite the opposite. I was kicking some serious booty in my aerobics class. Five classes in with this lady and I am getting good with all the little sequences. I finally think I got it all down and I go to make my little over the top do hickey and down I go. My right foot - half on the ground half on the step kind of gets mashed over and snap. Same feeling as last summer but less fuzzy. I'm brave and I usually try to ingore pain so I get up and keep truckin. Later that night I have a particular case of cankles on that one ankle - so yeah not fun. I'm skipping gym tonight but I'll try tomorrow night.

PS thanksssss L Brown for the new Rilo Kiley album!
Wooo!
