I got busted

Yesterday I was out to eat at this good deli place. Anyway, I got up to use the bathroom. It had a been a long day and I was hungry and tired and apparently zipping my pants wasn't something I felt necessary to do as I exited that bathroom w/my capri's unzipped (but buttoned). I got a couple of steps out and realize oopsy my pants are unzipped! So no one is around and I figure I'll just keep walking and zip. However, I turn the corner and there is this man who totally sees me do it. So I stop mid-zip look down then think "F*ck it" and zip them up the rest of the way. Of course I have to walk right past him and he totally busts me and gives me this knowing grin. I was totally embarrassed! The guy looked like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite but with a mullet! That made me feel a little less embarrassed that I was busted by a man w/a mullet in 2006.

Peaches!

I'm going to Costa Rica in January! My sister, dad, and myself have always talked about how someday in life we'd like to go. Turns out though I'm not going w/either of them though...but my mommy will be there! I've never traveled outside of the country before : / Not even to canada and I used to live like 45 minutes from Canada. Thus, I need a passport. So I got all my stuff together and went down to the post office today for them to tell me that I had to go to the post office down town. So downtown I went. The passport office is this small tiny room.

I walked in and took a seat. The two passport employees were talking w/a woman who purchased something from Lativia and apparently she never recieved it. It was some gold brouche and they told her they bet she was scammed...yikes! (not quite sure she was in the passport office for this)

Anyway, once they figured all that out they called me over. I lay out my two pictures, driver's license, Birth Certificate and application. My birth certificate looks like you printed it up in microsoft works...so not very official looking. Of course the woman stares at it and asks where it's from and I tell her I printed it up off my computer right before I got here. Actually no, I tell her it is from California and that's just how it is so deal! As I'm writing my checks to pay the phone rings and she answers w/her post office greeting and says her name is Peaches! I chuckled a little in my head. The only person by the name of Peaches I've ever heard of is the singer.

Anyway, that was my trip to apply for my passport...Costa Rica here I come!

Happy Birthday!

Both myself and my blog have turned a year older since I've last posted! My blog is now a year plus a couple months old and I am 24 years old...holla! Everyone has been asking me, "so how does it feel being 24?" My response is something like this. Well hmmm, When I turned 21 it was like a rite of passage... I am legal in ALL ways now! When I turned 22 I felt like I kind of took on this slight arrogance. When I was 21 I went to the campus bars and ordered some froo froo mixed drink or a lite beer. When I turned 22 I went to martini night and sat at a table and had conversations about "real" things. But I still could party with the best of them at the college bars(for example when my sister turned 21). When I turend 23 I felt really separated from the college scene, but I still had friends in college and was up for college stuff every so often...I was still in my young 20's!

NOW, however i'm 24. I'm in my MID -TWENTIES! I have a full time job and feel pretty accomplished. So 24 definitely feels different. it just feels like I've moved into a completely new place in life.

When I would have this convo. with people who are significantly older than me they'd just get this grin on their face that said "oh please!"

Anyway next year is 25! I think 25 should call for a big celebration...so to anyone who reads this...be prepared for a big birthday bash!

Peace

Old ladies are cool

I love old people...they say some of the funniest things!

The other day I'm walking out of the grocery store and I get behind this old lady as I'm walking out of the store. It's one of those akward situations where the person in front of you is walking super slow and you want to pass them but there's not really enough room to get around them without making it very clear you think they are too damn slow. So anyway, I decide to just slow it down and wait the extra 30 seconds it'll take me to get to my car. The lady starts moving slower and slower and all of a sudden stops. The whole time she was looking through one of her grocery bags for something apparently b/c when she stops she kind of pushes the bag away and says, "Shit! MotherF*cker!" my jaw dropped! Did she just say what I think she said? This little old lady needs her mouth washed out with soap!

Last night I was flipping through t.v. and stop on this show called "rollergirls". I find the show interesting b/c I've always liked skating and have always thought of myself as pretty tough, so rollerderby seems like a pretty cool thing to me. Maybe I'll start a rollerderby league here in a city that will remain anonimous, indiana. The rollerderby girls are meeting some old lady who participated in rollerderby for SEVEN generations! Holy Cow! She is their idol and they are all giving her hugs and she tells the girls to be gentle because they might make her false eye ball fall out. It was funny. This lady was also wearing the most gaudy pair of sunglasses I've ever seen. They were huge black glasses with all this gold I don't even know on top of them. She seemed like a cool old lady.

My final old lady story is about my grandma. My grandma is the coolest old lady ever. She is in her early 90's now and is still kicking ass. My grandma is so awesome, she still mows her own lawn...even in the middle of the summer! My grandma also loves playing mario brothers. I remember her playing it a little with us when we were younger. But my ma revealed to me fairly recently that when we were kids and we'd head off to school her and my g-ma would play mario bros. and dr. mario for hours! Here's the coolest thing though about my grandma... she has a Shit List! She is a hardcore democrat (loves JFK and Bill) and as she gets older she talks politics more and more, so whenever we chat I know that i'll hear knock on George W. I don't mind listening. One time I'm chatting w/her and I say "so how's it going grandma" and she says "well honey, I'm mad at president bush" and then goes on to tell me exactly why she's mad...finally she says "you know what, he's at the top of my shit list right now!" I was like "Grandma! You have a shit list!?" She just responded with her cute grandma laugh. I love my grandma!

Pizza! Pizza!

The other day I decided I wanted some pizza. Since I only had ten bucks I had only a couple options. I could get a frozen pizza or I could get Little Caesar's which sells pizzas for 5 bucks! I went with the five dollar Little Caesars pizza.

Now as kids we used to ride our bikes to 7-11 for slurpees and Little Caesars for pizza and Crazy Bread. Then they closed down all the Little Caesars where I lived...boo! So when they opened up one a few months ago it made me smile. I hadn't had their pizza in probably like 8 years or so.

I think little Caesars has changed who they market to. They have this new thing where they always have pizza's available for only five dollars. Cheap pizzas= cheap customers. I'll admit at times I am a cheap customer...really who isn't?

Anyway, the other day as I'm standing in line getting my pizza there is this guy in front of me in dirty clothes and a general disheveled appearance. In front of him is a woman. He is trying to make small talk with this woman who seems quite disinterested. He continues to talk to her and finally realizes that the woman just wants to get her pizza and leave. Anyway, I guess he wasn't in line and was just up there talking to her b/c as he realizes she doesn't want to talk, he says to her "Alright I'm just gonna sit back down and stare at your ass some more" I. WAS. SHOCKED! Did I really just hear this sleaze tell a complete stranger he was gonna sit down and think about her ass and who knows what else!? The woman was caught off guard by his comment and did one of those nervous laughs. If it was me he said that to, my reaction would have NOT been that.

Arrested Development

I am probably one of the 37 people in America who watch Arrested Development. That's sad because the other 294,000,000 people in America are really, really missing out! This is the best show on television, period! However, it's not going to be around much longer. Fox has cut the # of episodes in half and basically has cancelled the show. There are lots of rumors floating aroudn that maybe abc or some cable network would pick it up. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. So why's this show so good? Here's some reasons why i LOVE it:
1. Jason Bateman -- HE IS A BABE! (and very funny)
2. Ron Howard -- he's the executive producer. How can anything that invovles him not be good?!
3 this show is not like all those other "comedies" on tv. e.g. Yes, Dear; hope and faith etc. with stupid laugh tracks.
4. the rest of the cast- Jessica Walter, Jeffery Tambor, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, David Cross, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat...they are all awesome!
5. All the great guest stars they've had -- Henry Winkler, Liza Minnelli, Clint
Howard, Ben Stiller, Carl Weathers, Jane Lynch, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Amy
Poehler, Judy Greer, Zach Braff, Charlize Theron, Scott Baio...any many more!

I could go on forever, but I won't. This show is too good for it to disappear. So lets hope we get someone to wisen up and save this show!!

Watch the few remaining episodes! Go buy season 1 and 2 on DVD!

Save the Bluths!
