this week i found myself actually venturing out during the week. i know, completely out of character but i'm trying to change things up a bit. on wednesday, i met up with my old pal rachel for some drinks. we went to ginger's [something] downtown. it was a quaint little hole in the wall. it was quite dark inside and the drinks were strong. while trying to find the light to the bathroom, i ended up burning my hand on the heater. good times.
on friday, i went out with some co-workers to the bamboo hut in north beach. we were taking sharon, my boss, out for drinks. friday was her last day. i started the evening with tropical drinks and ended it with some vodka tonics. probably not the wisest move on my part. i definitely felt the effects of the cocktails on saturday.
i managed to rally a bit on saturday morning to go to misty's for breakfast. afterwards, we took a stroll in golden gate park. we saw some not so great art. before heading home, i walked around stow lake. i had never been to the top of the hill so i decided to check it out. the view is amazing from up there. by the time i got home, i felt completely wiped out. the rest of my day was spent watching tv.
today, misty, kate, jojo, & i went to the movies to see sunshine cleaners. i was pleasantly surprised by the movie and enjoyed it quite a bit. tomorrow, i start my new position at work. i'm taking over for my former boss as the academic coordinator. i'm a little nervous about bit but i think it'll be a good experience for me. hopefully, i won't miss teaching too much. just where will i end up next is anyone's guess.

is it just me or does it seem that oatmeal is every where these days. about a month ago, i noticed that jamba juice had introduced "jamba oatmeal" available in 3 flavors. then, i saw that the starbucks next to my office had oatmeal as well. prior to that, there was a quaker oats quick fire challenge on top chef. and now, every where i look i'm haunted by the new quaker oats ad: go humans go. it's on practically every muni and there's also a giant billboard on the building near my apartment. why is oatmeal suddenly all the rage? did i miss the memo? has oatmeal become the "recession food" of 2009. i leave you with this:
it's the same ad that's on the building near my apartment. i see it daily. just where will i end up next is anyone's guess.

i've been watching el gatos while misty & ted have been off enjoying music at sxsw. i must admit it's nice to be around animals. sometimes i miss having a pet. at least, there is always someone at home who will listen to your woes. i tried to spend as much quality time as i could with the girls. we watched tv, ate snacks, and chased a feather. what more could you want.
on saturday, i met up with my pal, shane, to have cake at sweet sensations. having cake is a wonderful thing. people should do it more often. i went for the orange cake which never lets me down. the princess cake tried to tempt me once again but i can't be fooled. it's not as delicious as it looks. i also got to speak with kate t. it's been ages since we last spoke and it was great to hear her voice. i miss my baltimore peeps. the rest of my weekend shall be spent doing chores. oh, the joy. just where will i end up next is anyone's guess.

hurting each other
deery-lou.
previously on the e-list…
i'm so tired. tired of all life's little dramas. tired of any small actions that cause reactions. tired of the ugliness & nastiness that exudes from people. didn't we have enough of that in high school. there comes a point in time when enough is enough. life is too short for pettiness. there's far too much going on in my life to have to worry about such trivial things. so what prompted this rant? well my friends, sit back and let me tell you my tale.
last year, i went on a few dates with someone. the relationship never really took off. that was mostly due to bad timing. i wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to try to begin any relationship. i had a lot going on in my personal life. so basically it just kind of fizzled. over the course of the year, we still chatted every once in awhile but never got together again. i pretty much figured that it was a dead end so i stopped all communication.
last night i received a message from that person. i was quite surprised by it and a bit glad to have gotten it. it had been over 3 months since we last chatted. here's what they had to say:
shall remain nameless: boy have we created distance or what? :(
my response: i guess you could say that.
shall remain nameless: guess we could. later
me: not sure what else to say. perhaps we should work on the distance thing.
this last response from me prompted him to say the following. [caution, strong language alert]
shall remain nameless: I tried.....you are WAY too much work....you have so much to offer but you're always such a somber bitch..... I sadly say goodbye. I'm done trying. by kid
shall remain nameless: you suck dude...... i was trying to be nice, but you want to be a cunt.... so now you have it..... you suck dude..... why are you such a bitter queen? fuck off
my immediate reaction was to retaliate, but instead, i sent the following response.
me: wow. wasn't expecting that. i guess, if that's how you fell. thanks for the kind words.
[this message was never read by shall remain nameless. instead, another message was sent]
shall remain nameless: no no, we're done.... you have been nothing but a bitch to me. WAY CUNTY..... now you're getting it back.....you bring nothing to the table and act like a woman with PMDD.... I was trying to be nice.... get lost C**T. you make me ill
at this time i didn't realize that my previous message was never read so i sent another one in response to this last one.
me: dude, i haven't even spoken to you in months. not sure why after all this time you decide to send me a message and bitch me out. hopefully, you feel better about it. again, thanks for the kind words. [like the previous message i sent, this one was never read either; however, shall remain nameless sent another message]
shall remain nameless: please stop emailing me.... go work on your bitterness then get back to me.... ta ta dahling..... what a disappointment
by now i realized that the previous messages i sent had not been read so i decided not to respond. however, shall remain nameless felt that 2 more messages were in order.
shall remain nameless: have I created enough distance? I can create more.... ASS****ugly bitch
shall remain nameless: you made me sad today..... and your wit is not sarcastic, it's bitter and well.......sad. good luck to you. your loss
i'm not really sure why after all this time shall remain nameless felt the need to rip me a new one and say such things. my initial comment was not meant to be negative. i honestly just wasn't sure how to respond or what was expected of me. what bothers me the most is how i let it get to me. i guess that's normal though. no one really likes to hear such things said about them. the only thing i do know for sure is that i dodged a bullet with that one and got to see shall remain nameless's true colors. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.

union of the snake

well, the weekend is officially over and what do i have to show for it—a pancake coma. yes, you heard me right, pancake coma. misty had us over for a pancake brunch on saturday. i'm not sure what she put in that batter but by the time i got home all i could do was lay in bed watching tv. not a total waste because i do love my tv time but i felt like i accomplished nothing i wanted to do. there's always next weekend, i guess. i will say this, the pancakes were damn tasty. plus there was bacon. perhaps i was actually suffering from a bacon coma instead of a pancake one.
i got a present from one of my students on friday. it was her last day. i was quite surprised by the gift. she bought me a tie. how sweet is that. she told me that she had been studying my fashion sense over the past month so that she could pick out the right one. she did an awesome job. i'll definitely miss her positive energy that she brought to class. i wish her all the best.
after school on friday, i met up with misty for a lunch date. this is our new thing for fridays. we did some shopping afterwards and i bought myself a new pair of boots. now comes the hard part of breaking them in. why is fashion so hard. just where will i end up next is anyone's guess.

i thought i'd indulge you some more with my trips down memory lane. recently, i've been haunted by this jingle from my childhood. anyone growing up in the new jersey/philadelphia area and who's around my age might be familiar with this precious gem as well. i can remember the commercial vividly. it reminds me of the time i spent at mom mom's house in laurel springs. we used to sit on aunt jewel's bed watching tv. on occasions, we'd also go through her jewelry collection. she had the best stuff ever! the jingle went like this:
intro:
it's not a fancy salon, it's nothing but a quanson hut…but
cue music:
if you've got a passion for fashion
and you've got a craving for saving
take the wheel of your automobile
and swing on down to ideal
to hear the actual jingle go here. gotta love youtube!
