February 6

 

Jesus. Okay, no excuses, I just balls out suck. I've been busy and happy and having fun so this entry will likely be very twee and very brief. Here's what I've been up to since last we spoke:

 

1.) Having some makey outey time.

2.) IMing with Nicole about the perfect hairdresser (for her: "He has to be gay, but NOT TOO FAGGY". Note: If that hurts your feelings, I'm sorry. She said it, not me, but it cracked me up. I imagined a Bobby Trendy flouncing up to her, bedecked in caribou feathers and her being all "hells no!" and bolting for the door)

3.) Putting together furniture.

4.) Driving back and forth to and from Brooklyn.

5.) Being given silver wear that Angelo stole all on the sly. ("Dane, hide this in your pocket! THEY'RE SOLID SILVER!!")

6.) Going to a wake.

7.) Singing some kareoke. Karaoke? Kareyokey?

8.) Playing with my new hair, which is not so new at this point. If you don't check my flickr site, you wouldn't know. If you DO check my flickr site, you KNOW.

9.) Loving Grey's Anatomy, except for Grey who is both too skinny and too pouty and too whiney to deserve love.

10.) Eating at a restaurant that use to be Mom's indian, which is now La Something De Something Cuba. I rate it a 4 on the Scale of Dana (0=Rockabilly Music. 10=The idea of Jay Z showing up at my house in his limo to take me for a night out on the town)

11.) Friday night wine chat with my Ladies. Holla!

12.) Getting tickets to go see the baby panda bear at the National Zoo in DC.

13.) Online crossword puzzles!

14.) Being impressed about how little word that rhymes with BLOW there has been this season, but I am not fooled, not even for a minute because it's only the beginning of February and this is New England and March is a bitter, angry douchebag when it comes to weather.

15.) Why my dogs are so effing cute? I mean, seriously! WHY????

16.) NOT going to the movies. Because I told you about my bomb chucking fear, didn't I? No? Well, let it suffice to say that I can't go to the movies and not have it in my head somewhere that someone's going to chuck a bomb. I know. I KNOW.

17.) Keeping myself from kicking people as they leave the elevator. This is awful, but ANY TIME someone leaves an elevator before me, particularly if they're taking it up or down one flight, I have an almost uncontrollable urge to just boot the person in the ass. The idea cracks me up. They'd look back at me all "WTF?" and I'd grin as the doors closed.

18.) This season of 24. Jack Bauer, you can torture me ANY DAY. Also, Keifer gets drunk and attacks trees. Right ON!

19.) Not knitting!

20.) Buying perfume, of course.

21.) Thinking about plane crashes. Seriously, at least a half hour of my EVERY DAY is spent, maybe not all 30 minutes in a row, but 30 minutes are dedicated to thinking about plane crashes. I'm gross.

22.) Pondering the question I'm supposed to present to the lab. If I stump them (THE WHOLE LAB), they take me out to lunch. If I don't, I don't actually know what happens. Maybe they beat me to death with a pipette.

23.) Reading all the books of The Chronicles of Narnia. If you haven't read them all, look away, because I'm going to tell you how it ends. THEY ALL DIE IN A TRAIN CRASH IN REAL LIFE AND GET TO STAY IN NARNIA FOREVER. How wack is that?

24.) Not writing journal entries and then being so disorganized of thought that I have to write a list entry, which are the lamest of the lame.

25.) Seeing Kathy Griffin at Mohegan Sun. One word: Awesome.

26.) Dirty Store.

27.) Eating Chinese food.

28.) NOT GIVING THE REMOTEST OF SHITS ABOUT THE SUPERBOWL. However, if pressed, I would have said I was rooting for the Steelers.

29.) Did I say makey outey time?

30.) Loving Fresca just as much as always.

31.) Not cleaning out my car. At this point, it might actually be classified as a biohazardous zone.

32.) Driving back and forth to West Hartford more than I have ever. For any reason.

33.) Hating the new commercials they're playing on the ambient radiostation I listen to constantly. Why commercials on internet radio? WHY? For that, I will never purchase anything from Radio Shack, EVER. Even though I can't actually recall the last time I did.

34.) Contemplated shopping for clothes.

35.) Wanting one of these, bad.

36.) Watching Beauty and the Geek. Some of those guys are FINE (Go here. Scroll down to Karl. Helloo!!!) . And I just found out that one of them is NOT REALLY A GEEK! Scandal! Also wondering why there shouldn't be that show, but the opposite. Like, why not hot smart guys and kinda ugly chicks? I mean, wouldn't that be fun to watch, FOR A CHANGE? Is it ALWAYS to be the case that women are the ones who see the potential in every guy, no matter how puerile? Why can't the opposite be true?

37.) Loving Saturday Night Live, still.

38.) Enjoying the fight on the New Haven craigslist Rants and Raves section. Here's how it works: a bunch of people (probably Yale students) say shitty things about New Haven, how everyone is POOR, how DANGEROUS it is, how the people who live here full time have no idea what a real CITY is like, wah wah wah, on and on. Then SOMEONE comes on all high and mighty telling everyone s/he is from FAIRFIELD and basically reiterating everything everyone from New Haven has been bitching about, poor people, crappy cars, welfare, whatever. Suddenly, IT IS ON. Apparently, only people who LIVE in New Haven (even temporarily) can talk shit about it. Awesome! Apparently, since I'm here full time, I'm poor, I drive a Geo, and I pop out children who grow up to mug people.

39.) Discovering Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats. Man do I love Strawberry flavored things. Although, I don't really love strawberries. Go figure.

40.) Worrying about my grandparents.

 

So, there you go. You're pretty much caught up with my goings on since the last entry. Hopefully, I'll be less of a dick and update more regularly.
