well... here it is, middle of may and in a month and a half i will say bye bye to nyc for the first time in years. i'm pretty scared about leaving new york. i will be back though and LA will be a good experience. law school will not be fun. i hope i don't drop out. just kidding dad! like my dad would read this.

i got the new death cab for cutie today, it's ok, i guess it took me a little while to become totally sold on plans so i'll give it a few more weeks before i actually form an opinion.

pinkberry opened up 2 weeks from my office and the rest of my salary will be spent on green tea frozen yogurt, yikes!

i am working on the new frontiers vinyl... i'm really excited about this band.

my color fred and 1969 vinyls will be out in a few weeks - check out how cool the art is!

(the front cover is on the right side, genius)

a few other things before the end of the summer, stay tuned. i'm excited, warm weather rules, i hope good things keep happening. smile :)

2008-04-14T14:05:00.001-07:00

i saw the weakerthans on friday, seriously it was UH-MAZ-ING. if you ever get the chance to this band, DO IT.

in other news, i gave up my 15+ yrs of being a vegetarian and started with chicken and fish. we'll see how long this lasts or how far i go with this.

i am going to LA with my dad in a week and a half and i caaan't wait.

hola - this post is dedicated to my friend & mysteriously loyal reader alvin kangaroo.

me: alvin can you make sushi?
alvin: jesse can you make gingerbread houses?

we joke.

so this is the new year. new yrs resolutions are still being thought about. by this time next year i hope to have released more records than i did last year (easier said than done and a resolution i put in place almost every year - however i accomplished it in 07!). i think i'l be able to make it happen...
i hope to be in law school as well - on my way to a life of pushing paper around in circles and 1/2 a year closer to being done with school for good.

the rest is the same. i love brooklyn, nothing could make me happier than just walking around my neighborhood on a 65 degree day in january (WTF!?)

and until next time i leave you with this quote from my adorable mother:

mom: etc etc etc. jk
me: i didn't know you knew what jk meant!
mom: i'm learning, lol

2007-12-17T09:13:00.000-08:00

PS. about juliette & the licks, i just wanna say how fucking excited i am that dave grohl FUCKING PLAYED DRUMS ON THIS RECORD. obviously putting out a record that he's on is a dream come true of mine. just sayin.

"reach for the stars and if you fall you'll land on a cloud"

i know it's been a while. it is ridiculous how much i think this new kanye west record applies to my life. not in the literal sense, but every time i listen again and again i find lines that just make me shudder with clarity. no joke.

other updates

i'm putting this record out on vinyl.

you should buy it: www.thevinylsummer.com

i for real love brooklyn.

my birthday is tomorrow (when did i grow up?)
here's a flyer, you should come:

i promise to post some pictures of my life in the coming weeks, holy shit 2007 is almost over!

2007-06-28T12:49:00.000-07:00

in case you were wondering: brooklyn rules, i'm super happy about living here, i started a new job in an entertainment law office, i'm probably gonna go to law school and i have way too much fun with my friends. pictures soon!

2007-05-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

how come nobody told me how good this hold steady record is? i'm sitting outside at my coffee shop in bk right now, sunny and 70, be jealous!

As you may or may not know, I recently packed up my Lower East Side shoebox and moved to the part of Brooklyn we know as Williamsburg. As you also may or may not know Williamsburg is home to plenty of hipsters who pay just a tad less rent than those in the lower east side, which means they have a little more money with which to purchase more and more extravagant things. In effect, Williamsburg is home to an arms race of ironic shit. In my travels each morning on the L train to Manhattan I bear witness to this parade of retards and now you will too.

Maybe one day I'll even grow the balls to take pictures of these people instead of just immortalizing them in words.

The winner of today's parade of retards was a young girl, who must have been about 25, wearing parachute pants (that were literally fluorescent) and a polar bear. Also on her feet were a pair of white, worn down vintage asics. I say she was wearing a polar bear because her coat may very well have been the hide of one. It hung over her shoulders like a halloween costume fashioned out of a cardboard box and went all the way down to her knees.

congratulations to this woman for wearing the most unflattering and hideously entertaining outfit that I saw all day.

JESSE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
me: I'm writing something in my blog!
JESSE GO TO SCHOOL

did you get that? i was talking to myself. the point is, the new weatherbox cd is SO good it hurts. the lyrics are completely retarded but at the same time brilliant (i put brilliant second in that sentence rather than first because i think it has more emphasis on the latter). singer, whose name i do not know, breaks out into rap in the second to last song "like why am i rapping do we have no ideas left?" GENIUS!

buy this cd when it comes out.

in other news i think i am moving (from madison square) to marcy

read this: http://web.archive.org/web/20031002042645/http://www.punkplanet.com/archives/00000004.html

one of my former bosses as well as someone that i look up to a great deal wrote it, a while back, but it is still relevant.

2007-02-08T20:45:00.000-08:00

yesterday- quite possibly one of the weirdest days ever.
like every day i wake up, make some coffee, bring it back to my room and sit in my bed reading bbc news. before i could even start reading i noticed some screaming coming from outside. as i listen a little closer it becomes totally clear that it is a woman screaming for help. she was screaming about calling 911, telling someone to stop and then just yelling get off me about as loud as she could. so i realize this is a little weird, but she carried on for about 20 minutes. finally i called 911. maybe a little bit paranoid but something crazy was going on nonetheless.
only 20 minutes later, i'm walking down houston and i decide to pop into a deli to get a diet coke. as i'm walking out an older man leaves and is about five yards ahead of me crossing the street. after we cross the first half he falls. he doesn't trip, doesn't try to break his fall, just smacks his face against the ground and stays there for a few quick moments. I help him up and pick up his keys that he had dropped. he takes a few steps forward and then falls again. this time even more violently and when he gets up his face is covered in blood. he seems to have no idea what is going on, he is clutching his right arm and cannot walk. i call 911 again, walk him to his apartment a few houses down and an ambulance comes.
what the fuck?

2007-02-06T15:53:00.000-08:00

i try pretty hard to only talk about clothing and shopping sparingly, but make it to the bottom of this blog entry and it gets more interesting.

this evening i went on a necklace hunt online. while searching for a DNA necklace that i wanted, I found this one...

but then i decided i should just attempt to make some of my own with shrinky dinks. i wasn't sure if they still made them so i found the website and found that you can order black and brown plastic shrinky dinks. this is the packaging:

isn't that a little racist? i feel weird ordering it and having that in my room.

2007-01-28T09:09:00.000-08:00

last night, my friend sam imed me- "i think i like rudy giuliani." she would. today the ny times says he is starting to sound like he will be a presidential contender in 2008. and then he said this: “When I say to you that we should reduce taxes to stimulate the economy, I’ll say it to you because I did it and I saw it work,” he said. “When I say we have to bring peace and security as sort of the beginning of anything, whether it’s in Baghdad or in other parts of the world or here at home, I’ll say that to you because I saw that happen in New York, and I made it happen. I did it.” does he really think nyc was as bad as baghdad? even comparable? he changed nyc employing the broken windows theory, a theory that while has been shown to work in many cities in the united states, is highly social. it requires an entire community to be united in the quest to better their communities. clearly social structure is VERY different in baghdad. is iraq united at all? will this work? hmm, kind of like democracy. not to mention how facist the system really is, putting people in jail for simply violating their communities social norms and imposing high penalties on small crimes. do we really want to extend our overcrowded prison population problem overseas? rudy giuliani would just be giving iraqi people the some problems we have.

2007-01-26T10:54:00.000-08:00

well currently emily and i are living large a la casa del pg while our apartment walls are being cracked open and (hopefully) replaced in a timely manner. someone who i know is reading this is coming to visit me next week, im stoked! i am going home for the superbowl, so bring over the veggie buffalo wings and lets sit in front of my 7 ft mitsubishi tv. i want to go to chain rxn super bad- emily write the email and lets make some signs.

2007-01-22T17:37:00.000-08:00

BEARS BEARS BEARS! dear robbie gould- i have a HUGE fucking crush on you.

ps. i saw nas last week from about 10ft away.

2006-12-18T20:39:00.000-08:00

yay i grew up another year

2006-11-28T17:26:00.000-08:00

bad:
-apartment flooded while i was in chicago last week. lots of my things are ruined.
good:
-getting a new bed, a bigger bed!

others:
i'm sick, but i better get well soon because i am seeing this is me smiling for five days this weekend! i couldnt be more excited to see a band play a total of several hours within a couple days. i started running in the mornings, because i'm too busy for the rest of the day, but it makes me exhausted. who knows how long that will last. i was in chicago last weekend and i saw a lot of friends whom i missed a great deal. danielle steals my jewish lines. i wish some more chicagoans would relocate like me.

2006-11-18T13:26:00.000-08:00

i am putting out the vinyl version of this record! you should buy it. you should also listen to this band now because they are all that. www.myspace.com/astallaslions.

30 is the new 20 nigga - i'm on fire

update: cmj was insane, i started the trend of hopping on handcarts and pretending that they were segway scooters like gob bluth's. highlight shows: weatherbox, secret machines, the cardigans, the format, monsters are waiting, meg & dia. i ended the week by drinking screwdrivers at 3pm on sunday...until 12pm. all in all the week was a blast/a blur. now i'm buckling down- i have so much work to do in the next two weeks before i bounce off to chicago for thanksgiving! lets just say i have a few things up my sleeve.

2006-10-07T13:22:00.000-07:00

i love this too...

2006-09-29T21:51:00.000-07:00

2006-09-28T18:29:00.000-07:00

this is one of the cutest things i've seen in a long time

In other news, i'm busy again, lots of work. if you want to see me ever, i take breaks for grey's anatomy, coffee, various alcoholic beverages and vegan scones. you can get my attention with those.

2006-09-01T12:06:00.000-07:00

on grills

for (just) a minute grills were sweet (for lack of a better word), a testament to earlier rapper's dental apparati and a sign of wealth and success while still "keeping it real"

lets talk about why grills are not cool now:
1.) everyone has one. brooke hogan wears a fucking grill. she is definitely not keeping anything real.
2.) pretty much everyone who wears one looks like a fucking homeless man who lost all his teeth...exhibit a

3.) i know that not everyone who puts on a grill is brushing before and after, and just think about all the gunk you're holding in there. ughhh
4.) they aren't really a fashion statement if everyone has one
5.) seriously, why would you put diamonds and gold in your mouth? remember the sensation you get on your teeth when you chew on tin foil? i used to gag when the orthodontist took molds of my teeth and put them in my mouth... i cant imagine having heavy shit on your teeth is comfortable.

and on top of all this, grills can cause gum disease and are banned in several texan school districts! thats it.

2006-08-23T22:29:00.000-07:00

necklace, little boots, little dress
i like i like

2006-08-19T15:29:00.000-07:00

in the last week i saw the format twice. did i mention yet how much i love them? you should too. in other news i am looking forward to the next two weeks, but i've got to admit, i'm getting quite bored of this no purpose shit. school's gotta start so i can get out of this late nights 30 dollar bar tabs groove, although it isn't so bad in the first place. tonight is saturday and i'll spend it watching date movie (alone) and probably john tucker must die even later on. i'm ok with that. but what i'm definitely not ok with is the following:
1. crocs. put on some real shoes and ditch the garden apparel.

2. deep v-necks on men. come on, nobody wants to see your chest hair, why do you think they waxed off most of it in 40 yr old virgin? i advise all women who are spoken to by men in v-necks to walk away.

2006-08-13T18:27:00.000-07:00

one day me and emily watched sonic youth on stage. just sayin.

2006-07-30T23:18:00.000-07:00

yikes! hard drive crashed today. got a new compy. im pretty happy with it. either way this week is going to suck! big time! cross yr fingeries for me and i'll update with the real deal later.

2006-07-26T16:43:00.000-07:00

this morning on my way to class i walked past a little park between forsyth and christie, and just as i was putting in my earphones i heard something that sounded familiar... "i see you runnin through that open dooooor" what's that? i look over and see a homeless lady in sweatpants and a tank top singing r kelly to me. "i believe i can fly! i believe i can touch the sky!" all the weird shit happens at 8am in the park.

weeeeoooohweeeeeooooh
thats the sound of a siren. i went to siren festival yesterday in coney island. coney island is kind of awesome. if you like all of your encased meats and doughs fried. anywhoozil, i managed to see scissor sisters (who were awesome) and some of she wants revenge. homeboy reminds me of kramer with large biceps. emily and i rescued our friend paul from the boardwalk. we found him wearing sunglasses at 9pm. his ship was two sails towards the wind. we stumbled back into manhattan to visit our friend the falafal man and then went to the annex to see spacehog?! yesterday was bizarre.

2006-07-05T20:42:00.000-07:00

these past few weeks have made me proud to be a soccer player for so long.
today i watched france beat portugal in the world cup semi finals. i may have been on the eliptical but my mind was clear and i thought about exactly why it is that soccer's popularity exceeds any other sport. lets just talk about how after the game was over figo and zidane take off their jerseys and exchange them. they fucking exchange jerseys. two rival captains. does this happen in american football? no. does this happen in the olympics? nope. christiano ronaldo's tears almost broke my heart, but who was there to hug him instead of me after their loss? thierry henry. why the fuck is it that every other sport has a "world champion" every year, and soccer takes four? because it really fucking matters. some people's entire sports careers can begin and be done in four years, but not these players, because they are real ATHLETES. while skaters and surfers and hockey players are caught up in being anti-corporation, they spend hundreds of dollars on gear and what do soccer players do? they pick up a ball and kick it (can someone find me a study on how much $ is spent on soccer merchandise compared to other sports?). relative to its international popularity its no wonder america doesn't love soccer - we can't seem to make much money off of it, probably because most of its biggest fans don't have any. what other international sport schedules a world championship semi-final game on the USA's independence day? none. why? because soccer doesn't care about the united states. soccer is bigger than the united states, and for that i love it.

2006-07-04T16:40:00.000-07:00

i'm pretty much over the summer in the city....i want it to be cold and snowy and i want to drink hot coffee and wake up early before biology exams and go to starbucks and listen to death cab for cutie and study and get nervous. why do i want that?
i went to my grandparents beach house in maryland this weekend, check out the jellyfish!!
i also went sailing a bunch

and this is the beach i laid on

and here's tim

yesterday i took a trip to asbury park nj where i hung out on a boardwalk with tim mark mark aj emily jessica and vinny the magician

check out this bike!

i had today "off" but that really just means i had papers and lab reports to write up... 4 more weeks of this BS and then i'm home for a full week... i really can't wait!

2006-06-30T18:38:00.000-07:00

wednesday night at the "adults only" p!atd afterparty, i found out the hard way that sangria is gross. july starts tomorrow and ill kick it off on a boat in the middle of the chesapeake bay, in a much needed escape from the new york city. i think thats about all for now.

2006-06-20T19:51:00.000-07:00

yeah i love this

2006-06-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

holy fuck it's june 18? where has the time gone? obviously its been devoted to physics and criminology and making dollar bills to pay the bills. life is ridiculous lately, but im ok with it. sooner or later ill actually find a minute or two to devote to the shit i REALLY want to do. maybe in 7 wks when summer school is over. i'm almost done with semester 1- my finals are on thursday. i'm pretty excited, but i'll be even more excited if i PASS both classes. i think i just heard some gunshots from les #1. craig teeedz came to visit and do some interviews last week and the lovely emily had her birthday soirée. i was forced to make an asshole of myself on the dance floor in front of some pretty cute dudes. thanks guys. overall though of course a raging success. enough for now. allée les bleus!

2006-06-03T00:57:00.001-07:00

seriously i get chills everytime arthur agee touches a basketball. there's a "10 years later" sequel to hoop dreams coming out sometime this year called hoop realities. how excited am i? you have no idea. fuck.

2006-05-25T20:29:00.000-07:00

ET PHONE HOME
i'm going home in 2 weeks. i neeeeeed it so bad. i have more in my mouth than i can chew (not literally, in fact i stopped eating, or tried to, or something) but figuratively. besides waking up early, walking (my back is fucked), maybe a little tingling in my throat that makes me think i'm getting sick, and being too tired to go out almost all the time, i think im ok. hopes that ill get myself to this museum of the moving image this weekend, i want to see the seinfeld set. i won't be able to make it to hfstival and see the crows as i would have wished, but what can i say, im a young little girl stuck in an old man's body. or woman's. which ever one has more back problems. little seth cohen goin on right here. dead like me season 2 is on the way and hoop dreams is here! im going to go get some shut eye before i wake up and champion my way through a physics exam at 9am. yes, champion is a verb if i want it to be.

2006-05-02T21:42:00.000-07:00

as i opened up blogger to write this blog, i saw the title of my blog "i love my life" and i do, i do love my life, but sometimes i freak out.
i freak out and think that no matter how hard i try everything i do is inevitably mediocre, like nothing i do will ever be able to carry me anywhere. i don't think i'll ever be able to make any money or live my own life but i don't ever want to be that one little girl who hides behind another's income, whether its my dad or my husband or my babys daddy. you know.
AHHHHHHHHHH

2006-04-30T22:28:00.000-07:00

nobody dances anymore, nobody takes chances anymore
too bad I love this song. and this video. and a certain dance called the sharpener. soon the protractor will make its film debut.

so i was thinking about morality in our society and in a world saturated with media images and conglomerations we are all forced to make the decision of whether to support and acknowledge the dependence we have on these companies, boycott and ignore our obvious difficulty in pushing them aside, or blissfully ignore the problems that we are continuing to create ourselves. i look at a company like starbucks. i think fondly, "oh starbucks" i think "howard schultz is THE MAN" and i think that their company is run in an innovative socially responsible fashion that is yet to be replicated. but then i look at them partnering up with william morris agency to continue making more films and books. starbucks is becoming a conglomeration. by creating an industry of mass consumption that was not present before (coffee!) starbucks has opened up for themselves the opportunity to take over ... everything! i am shocked but i cannot say i am appalled, because i truly believe that starbucks is doing something that will not threaten our world with hegemony. i love starbucks but i do think that there are probably thousands of people out there who could tell me i am wrong.

however. i am still confused of a moral stance i am supposed to take. i hate the idea that i am so susceptible to be completely engulfed by these ten or so companies that run everything in the world. i cannot escape it these influences, and i cannot make a conscious decision to omit them from my life, because it is just simply too hard. i guess i will have to feel guilty every time i consume. i really just hope that the six species of monkeys that are in danger of being extinct because of deforestation in southeast asia get scooped up by a helicopter and loved.

2006-04-24T22:09:00.000-07:00

every element on earth was once created in the inside of a star which was at first just coalescing cosmic dust that eventually exploded and created our solar system. essentially we are all tiny bits and pieces of stars. isn't that the coolest thing you've ever heard? i like to think that we are all stars.

2006-04-23T12:25:00.000-07:00

I had to write an essay about electrochemical cells for chemistry, this is part of it:

To better explain this idea of an electrochemical cell, I have chosen an electron named Jeffery whom we will follow throughout this circuit. Jeffery originates as part of the solid Zinc strip that is in solution. He is soon ripped apart from his Zn2+ buddy, to which he is usually attached at the hip. Jeffery flies up the electrode that is attached to the strip of zinc at the anode. He flies through the wires all the way onto the solid copper strip to which he quickly finds a new BFF, Cu2+! Here he and a Cu2+ ion combine and make a Cu(s) molecule, thus increasing the mass of the Copper strip at the cathode. The reduction is taking place at the cathode, so therefore the Zn2+ ion that Jeff left is the reducing agent, and the Cu2+ ion that Jeff made friends with is the oxidizing agent.

no really, if you gave me the option to live inside my brain for the rest of my life, i'd do it

2006-04-17T00:13:00.000-07:00

right now i just want to shrink to the size of an ant and crawl all the way into the middle of my brain, that way i can see the synapses jumping along myelin sheiths on each neuron and the little ion channels opening and closing and understand the way my ideas are created. then i could really know how i think and where all the ideas i lose go and where the ones that make it into the world go. i really just want to be inside a brain for the rest of my life.

the real fb got a little manic at the disco last night, i bought her a superfood.

2006-04-04T20:52:00.000-07:00

IM BACK! HOLLA!

"fuck shit fuck fuck ass cunt - wow. that cd was so good it gave me tourrette's."
that was going to be my band of the day for peter who is currently still at his office (its almost 12pm on a school night!). i was brutally rebuffed. i'm currently sitting on my brand new couch (delivered promptly as i moved into my apartment 2 weeks ago by a couple cute boys from queens who call themselves "man with a van") im kidding. they weren't really cute, but they hearted me. i heart my new couch instead.
since i last posted, i went to sxsw and had a little too much fun. see atlantic city post below.
i also moved into a brand new apartment on the lower east side, right next to all my main nigs in LES #1!
you should probably call me and check out the new joint ... bring a joint too. HOLLA!

2006-03-03T11:28:00.001-08:00

sometimes when i'm listening to death cab for cutie's plans, and the last song winds down to the end, i just start the record over. its really that good.
wednesday i went to see say anything with my lady grace. i couldn't call myself a huge say anything fan but i agreed to go, because i was curious what this "crazy max" would do. he was pretty sane the entire time, but that didn't let me down. besides standing next to rob hitt who was screaming louder than any of the prepubescent girls in cb's, i enjoyed the show a great deal. (just kidding rob)
it was the kind of show where as soon as the band walked out, the crowd went wild almost instantaneously. the first couple songs caught me off guard, but i eventually started tapping my foot, singing a long a little, and eventually shaking my hips a bit.
the last two nights ive spent iwht my mother, eating sushi and profiteroles. we went to go see C.S.A. last night at the independent film theater- hilarious. it's about what the united states would be like if the south has won the war. go see it if you have the means.
tonight i will dance dance fb style. can't wait.

2006-02-28T21:14:00.000-08:00

because i so eagerly wanted to find just one more place to post a picture of me and flavor flav on the internet, i gave in to dickplan's website and signed up for friends or enemies. my username is, appropriately, jessefuckingrules. you can add me as a FRIEND OR ENEMY if you so please.
speaking of flavor flav, i watched flavor of love last night and saw some intense catfighting! flav's a moron for kicking goldie off, and pumkin rules for spitting on that dipshit new york. i also think hoopz is waaay too good for flav, but it was pretty hilarious to see her mom hit on him in front of her. just shows how contrived and retarded the entire show is. i hope flav picks hoopz anyways, i would!

so this weekend continued to trend of a not-so-awesome week. friday i went with emily to meet up with lots of friends at lucy's. we had a few drinks and headed over to beauty bar to see rob hitt dj, dance, and drink more drinks. we ended the night by travelling over to orchard bar and being extremely disappointed. on my way home i was seduced by a magician. he did a few tricks on me, and in my drunken frozen state i walked a little faster and screamed "I TAKE SCIENCE CLASSES, I DONT BELIEVE IN THIS!!! AHHHH" he liked me anyways and gave me his card and asked me out on a date. guys are so strange.
despite the incredible weather on saturday i hung out in hotel rooms all day watching project runway and the flavor of love.
later that night i saw the starting line at nokia theater and i would be lying if i didn't say that it made me feel a bit nostalgic and i enjoyed the show. afterwards we headed downtown for a late dinner at an awesome little restaurant on 7th ave. travis told us about his moms. we went to misshapes afterwards, but i ducked out early and i hope i never have to go to misshapes again.
i promised myself that this blog wouldnt be so much about the things i do but more about other things that actually matter.
so lets discuss these "body-snatchers"
(link is here: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11568879/site/newsweek/ )
the fact that these people actually replaced femurs with pvc pipes... possibly one of the sickest things ever. my whole body goes to science when i die, none of that burial crap please.
more importantly: google image search "gold teeth" and tell me whats in the first ROW of results?

so far the best thing that has happened to me this week is the "dance off" i witnessed between d-neu and gabe on monday night. pretty incredible. you can read about it in everyone's "foe vip" journals, as per the usual. anyhow, it was downhill from there, besides the fact that peter brought me back some amazing chocolate from london.

tomorrow will be exponentially better... i can FEEL it!

now i must go back to studying diatoms, anelids, nematodes and all the other slightly chewy invertebrates that i have a test on tomorrow!

two letters from the heart:

dear new jersey,
howcome every time i go to a show in you, i see prepubescent girls making out? oh, and the smoking ban needs to begin. please advise,
sincerely,
jesse.

dear young girls,
just because she doesn't have boobs yet does not make her any less of a woman.
all the best,
jesse.

so last weekend after my atlantic city adventures, i decided it was completely necessary that i go home for a few days. i needed to relax a little and be the chicagoan that i am at heart. i got on a plane at 7pm new york time and walked into the front door of my house at 10:30 chicago time. aaahhh did it feel good. empty house for the night as well, seeing as my family were all out of town. i had a little cocktail party following my arrival, most of my favorite dudes and girl (danielle, thats pretty much it) came over. oh wait there were some other girls, one of whom was definitely "uncomfortably drunk" as we like to call it. overall a good night.
the next few days happened to be some of chicago's coldest all year, so i stayed safe in my movie room for the most part and i tried not to venture outdoors for prolonged periods of time. the main reasons i go home on a regular basis are: massage chair, my mom, amazing shower, amazing workout room, amazing tv room. i made good use of all of these ammenities while i was home this weekend.
my computer is being quite slow so i'm going to finish this entry later...

i went to atlantic city last night. whether on not that was a good idea is yet to be determined. somehow i ended up with a wad of 20s and a purse full of condoms that alex threw in over the span of an hour at the trojan afterparty. maybe he is trying to stay disease free, and i fully endorse that. i got blackjack three times, until carlos, my so non-favorite dealer came and took over. some mexican men were sitting next to me and winking at me. i thought it was funny so i made some temporary new friends. i unsucessfully tried to figure out a mathmatical equation in my head based off of the probabilities of what face cards were already shown and how many were left in the deck relative to the cards that i had already been dealt, after i lost all of my money (i think?) i was dragged to eat at the hotel restaurant. i threw a fit and didnt order any food, but somehow got an omelette anyways. i threw some butter packages and slammed my fork on the table and demanded to go gamble more, which i did. i made all my money back and then was promptly escorted to my room at 7am by somebody... i fell asleep immediately and woke up the next morning to brave the 26 inches of snow in manhattan and return home.

i also need to thank all of the boys who watched out for me this weekend- even when i was completely out of control.

Alright. Now I know I am not the perfection of grammar embodied in a human being and placed delicately on earth, but there are a few problems that I happen to have with people who misspell some words.

Examples...
Definitely is not spelled: definately, definantly or any other variation of the two. DEFINITE is the base word, now add an LY.
Ridiculous. With the exception of inserting a various swear word in between the ri- and the rest of the word, ridiculous should be spelled like so. Not REDICULOUS or REDICULUS.

More to come later.

Another gripe for rainy days....
Umbrella etiquette on the street is essential. For all the short people who think it is acceptable to prance down the crowded sidewalks of New York City, poking faces and bodies with the pointy ends of their umbrellas, you're wrong!
Lets do the math on this equation. Several pedestrians walk down a sidewalk that is maybe five feet in width. Each is holding an umbrella. One pedestrian has an umbrella that is three and a half feet in diameter, and another pedestrian who is walking down the sidewalk with his sister, has an umbrella that measures four feet in diameter. As the two parties pass one another on the sidewalk, either two feet of one umbrella is going onto the street, or two feet of another umbrella is jabbing the opposite pedestrian in the jaw. One must go up, and one must go down! Eye contact is essential in this situation, and someone needs to make the move well in advance. I urge you, be that pedestrian. If you are under five foot four, it is probably a good idea to duck a bit and make sure your umbrella does not crash with your neighbors. If you are a taller person, or you have a little ambition, lift yours into the air! Make sure it can be higher than theirs though, or trouble will ensue.
Overall, the problems that can face ignorant umbrella carriers must be recognized and avoided at all convinient costs.
