three conversations

Bachelor #1 : 28 yr. old lead singer/guitarist for local band;recently returned home to Buffalo from "life on the road"

(4 a.m. phone conversation)

Me: How was the show?
B#1: (overly exhausted tone) Good, except for everyone wanting a piece of me.
Me: (uninterested) Really... that sucks.
B#1: Yeah, but I'm home now. (long sigh) Decompressing. Shows take a lot out of
me.
Me: Gee, I can only imagine.
B#1: Yeah, so I just come home and put whatever I have left of me into my art.
Me: (want to laugh) Oh...
B#1: What are you doing now? I could really use some inspiration?
Me: Well good luck with that. I'm in bed already. Did I tell you I have a paper due
Monday so I won't be able to make plans tomorrow?


Bachelor #2 : 27 yr old ex-marine, now engineer; former acquaintance

(conversation at Quote nite club while outside smoking)

B#2: God when was the last time I saw you? Do I look a lot different to you?
Me: No.. I mean I had no trouble recognizing you.
B#2: Yeah but I used to be a lot bigger.
Me: (confused)
B#2: You don't remember how big my arms were?! I have stretch marks bigger
than your head!
Me: um, well, I'm sorry. It has been a while.
B#2: Yeah, so I own my own house now... just bought a new truck... You really
don't remember how big my arms were?
Me: (apologetic smile) Don't feel bad. I pay very little attention to anyone but
myself.
B#2: (looking around) God... did you happen to notice all the ugly people here
tonight?
Me: Oh shit! I forgot I promised my friend I'd meet her... somewhere else!
Thanks for the drink!


Sophia: 4 yr. old niece who was bugging me when I was trying to take a nap this afternoon

Me: So, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Soph: um, I wanna be a piano player, a cheerleader, and a ballerina dancer.....
and a Queen!
Me: Ok sounds good. Here's the remote.

this video is sooo hot!

I just can't figure out how they made Shakira look almost as tall as Beyonce.

Never said I wasn't...

My Ebay package arrived today. I now own the same exact turtleneck sweater that Jessica Simpson has. Am I a loser if I feel 10% cooler than normal? If I ever run into her I can say, "Oh my God! I have that sweater tooooo!"

just my $.02

Today I blew off an afternoon of homework and housecleaning and finally watched The Prestige. (If you haven't seen it yet please stop reading...I hate spoilers.) Considering that Greys Anatomy recently did a two part "shocker" where Meredith was under water for a good 15 minutes, subsequently remained "dead" for over an hour, and survived unscathed with mental faculties intact... I was a little skeptical of the drowning of the wife/assistant. CPR wasn't officially practiced until the 1950's but it was recommended as early 1740. One would think that these guys would know something about it,being that drowning was one of the major risks of that trick. I realize that she needed to die to facilitate the rivalry, but whatever, it annoyed me anyway. I have way too many questions left unanswered- Where was Angier disposing of his dead doubles? Why didn't Borden just tell his wife the truth? What was she going to tell Olivia? If she knew already, why did she hang herself? Who knew Edison was gangsta? And ladies, I still have no idea what you see in Christian Bale. I thought this movie would be the clincher. Nope. The only trick successfully pulled off by him was that of The Disappearing Upper Lip. Hugh Jackman however was delicious. And let us not ignore the too brief appearance of the coolest man on the planet-Mr. Bowie. The movie sufficed for a gloomy afternoon of slacking but I doubt I'll be watching it again.

A New Warhol?

I love this guy.

Waoh!
