i'm happy. and somehow being happy makes it harder for me to blog and appreciate what i am writing. re-reading older posts makes me realize that when i am sad, its so much easier for me to convey my emotions through writing. when i am happy, i don't have time or the need to explain my emotions to a gagillion online viewers. i would much rather be happy but sometimes i miss my old bloggin style. one day i'll work it out. best of both worlds, right miley cyrus?

new england baby burp chowder.

a long time ago, diego bought some soup for me because i was sick. i think he basically just grabbed every different kind of soup he could find. i ate all of them except for the new england clam chowder. mostly because i've never had clams and it sounds disgusting. unfortunately, the only food in my cabinets today was that new england clam chowder. i thought that since i was starving i would try it. i got about two spoonfuls in when i dripped some on my pants and realized what the smell and texture reminded me of: baby burp. i threw the rest away.

a little bit for jen and a lotta bit for me.

i am so tired of all my facebook news feed being dedicated to people bashing obama and his nobel peace prize. i may not agree with all of his policies but i think he has done a lot to change the attitude of the american people as well as instill hope in people all over the world. sure he hasn't necessarily done anything tangible yet, like end the war or get rid of my debt BUT i'm sure he would if he knew that my uterus is currently trying to detach itself from my body. anyways, obama is a great man and a great leader and if you don't agree with the award being given to him, why don't YOU try to join the Norwegian Nobel Committee and next time maybe your opinion will actually matter.

in other news, i have been watching bravo a lot recently (mostly just for project runway reruns, rachel zoe, and top chef) and i have stumbled across this horrible (yet addicting) show, million dollar listing. first, these realtors are like 20 years old and they are making thousands of dollars a day! it sickens me. i work my butt off hoping to get a 20% tip on a $50 tab and these boys are rolling in nice cars and designer clothing. i can't tell which sickens me more, these boys and their luxurious lifestyles or my debilitating cramps.

clearly its that time of the month.

hey look!

i got a ring!

two actually.
you know what that means....

(and yes i just woke up)

should be any minute now

i have a few random friends on facebook. like people i've met once or twice but never really knew. and i'm always confused/surprised when they put on their status that they "cleaned out their friends" yet i can still see it. GO AHEAD, DELETE ME. WE DON'T EVEN TALK. maybe i should just delete them. yep done and done.

11:16

chilly bones

everyone keeps promising me global warming but it is 46 degrees outside right now. FARENHEIT! 46 DEGREES FARENHEIT. the next person to talk about global warming will be sued for false advertisement. by me.

i hate jets

a jet just flew by my apartment and it was so close and so loud that someone's car alarm went off.

its been going off for ten minutes now.

i cant help it

valentine's day and birthdays are always disappointments.
because no matter how much i don't want to have expectations for a really romantic day, i still do because society forces it upon me!
diego asked me what i wanted to do for valentine's day and i said: work.

i'm trying to memorize all these wines for work so that i can sell a lot and make a lot of money. but i just can't understand how something could taste like mixed berries, SMOKE, EARTH, violets, and MINERALS and still be appealing.

yesterday was my first day of real non-training work at my new job.
it was pretty slow and i only had three tables the whole night.
BUT i got $90 in tips.

rut-a-tut-tut

sometimes when i write a blog, i write it just for a certain person. i will think, oh right "carlos" reads my blog. i think "carlos" would really like my blog if i wrote something like "this." i do it a lot. and then i want to go and delete those blogs because do i really care what "carlos" thinks? but then i don't delete them because of course i really care what "carlos" thinks.

i used the name of my car as a general name referring to everyone whom i have tried to impress with my blog.

i also just tried to impress everyone with my usage of "whom." but re-reading it, i think its incorrect. impressed?

dietribe

i only eat under two conditions:
1. diego calls me and tells me what i want to eat or,
2. i go out to eat with diego and he tells me what i want to eat.

being indecisive is turning out to be a pretty good diet plan.

ooh look. DIEgo, DIEt.

borders upon borders

today, i ordered five books. i didn't mean to order five. i meant to order three. the first three i picked out, cost $35.69 and i meant to pay $25 with the gift card that danny got me for christmas and put the other $10.69 on my card. but i'm retarded and somehow didn't understand how to use a gift card. SO, then i still had a $25 gift card and even though i was devastated at having bought $35 worth of books when i had 25 FREE dollars, i decided the FREE 25 dollars should not go to waste. so then i bought $25 dollars worth of other books.
overall, a good day.
here's what i got:


the virgin suicides by jeffrey euginides






everything is illuminated by jonathon safran foer







diary by chuck palahniuk







the mysteries of pittsburgh by michael chabon







such a pretty girl by laura wiess

obrigada

in brazil they have a dish similar to egg salad but they call it mayo or mayonnaise.
so today when daniel was making it, i said, "are you going to put mayonnaise in that?" and he said "what is mayonnaise?" so then i explained it to him by saying, "its the same as mayo." and he said, "what is mayo?" so then i did the only thing i could think to do to explain it and pulled it out of the fridge to show him. and then he said, "i know that's mayonnaise or mayo. but this is mayonnaise AND mayo." and pointed to the unfinished dish.
i have a hard time communicating with these brazilians sometimes.
but mayo/mayonnaise is delicious.

wii queremos jugar

turns out that the wii is actually a very valid form of exercise.
ever since diego got it, i have been playing all day every day.
and now i am so sore i can barely walk.
now i don't have to pay for a gym membership which is convenient because i still don't have a job.

don't judge me if i end up working at wendy's.
