Wanna know your real age? I’ve started getting tips from them daily and some of the tips are quite interesting. Today’s tip says that it’s bad to read in bed. If you can’t fall asleep, get up and read in a chair, it says. Save your bed for sleeping.

Thursday might be my favorite week-day. It’s a day when you know the week is almost over, but not yet and you enjoy the anticipation. I seem to get more work done on Thursday than any other day. Wednesday is kinda neat as it’s the middle of the week but there are still two more days to go. Friday, you know it’s over and you’re not really motivated, you just wait for the day to end, so you can go home. Anyhow, I’m enojoying my Thursday this week. A McSweeney’s article for people who love angels. It’s quite funny. Mel C of the Spice Girls says she wants men, not women. I know you wanted to know. Take my poll, won’t you? Here’s the link to the fire I mentioned last night. In case you didn’t already know, coffee is bad and chocolate is good. I’m glad everyone agrees. Have you seen the recent Jetta ads? The one where the guy rushes into the house to pull his girlfriend out. She’s painting her toenails and he grabs her and drags her out, all excited. Once in the yard, he shows her how the windows open at the push of a button. As he’s excited playing with the automated windows, she goes back in the house, with that oh-men look on her face. It’s such a great ad! Mostly cause, I think it represents the genders and their reactions so well. As a huge fan of JD Salinger, I read all of his books. While my favorite was Franny and Zooey, I really enjoyed Nine Stories and Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters and Seymour. While, The Catcher in the Rye is his most famous, I think his other books are just as good, if not better. Anyhow, his daughter has decided to write a book about their life. If you’re a fan, you might know that he is quite a recluse and hasn’t published a thing in 47 years. While I never read Maynard’s book, I think I might take a look at this one. A huge fire is going on in New Jersey right now. Thank God, there are no people living in the area, but this is the largest fire I’ve seen in the New York area since I moved here. I tried to link in an article about it, but there’s nothing, yet. I guess Broadcast news is speedier than the net. Doing anything for the holiday weekend? I think Memorial day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day are the worst days to travel in the summer. Everyone in the US wants to go somewhere for the three-day-weekend and most of us end up stuck in traffic or get cozy at the airport. I can’t remember one holiday weekend when the flights weren’t delayed. So why do this each year? I guess we must like torture. On that note, we are, of course, traveling this weekend. 🙂 Jake’s birthday is coming up in less than a week and I still haven’t found any presents. I’m getting desperate. As of now, the most feasible option is TiVo, but I don’t have enough info on it. It sounds like a neat idea, I’m just not sure whether it actually is or not. Are you a sun-lover? Read this. I think it might make you reconsider. At least, I hope so. There was an article in yesterday’s New York Times about Venice sinking. I can’t find it in their web page or I would link it for you. The article talked about how the government is about to approve a multi-million dollar project to save Venice while some professor from Colgate proved that the proposal will not work. The professor is trying to make his findings public so that the project will get dropped, and so they can start searching for a feasible alternative. If you’ve never been to Venice, I think you should try to go soon cause I’m not sure how much longer this wonderful city will be around. The Candie’s Personality Test says that I’m a dreamer. It also says: “You want meaning out of life. People are important to you. Your relationships can make or break your day. Your friends are amazed at how well your intuition works for you. You demand no less than truth and justice.” Wha’dya think? I got Conan’s Commencement Speech in my email several weeks ago. For those of you who still haven’t seen it, it’s quite hilarious. Now that I’m home four days a week, instead of two, my bird and I seem to have a closer relationship. The small parakeet comes and hangs out next to my keyboard as I type. He’ll chew on my jewelry for a bit and then, not getting the attention he really wants, he’ll jump on the keys and start chirping. He gets louder and louder till I pick him up and put him on my shoulder. Even then, he continues to chirp and climbs all over my face, hanging down from my hair into my eyes. He’s quite cute actually. |
