IT IS TOO COLD OUTSIDE FOR SITTING!!

I have the lovely job of working at the farmers' market. This is an awesome job in the summer. Knowing that is what gets me through doing it in the winter. Yes, we are out there in below freezing temperatures, crazy winds, snow, rain, hail, all that.

Luckily today I found just the perfect combination of layered clothing to keep me warm at about 18 degrees! Whiskey the Apple Guy told me I looked part fisherman, part farmer, part trendy in my mish-mash of apparel, but at least I'm freakin' warm, damn it!

Next weekend is going to be AMAZING, because on Sunday, it is 3 Things in 1! Tibetan New Year, Chinese New Year, and Valentines Day.

Lost and Found

So ET was going through my computer a while back, and using trusty Search Companion Dog to go through my stuff, came across EVERY PICTURE EVER UPLOADED ON MY COMPUTER. I'm talkin' like stuff from waaaaayyyyy back in the day. Like when I used scandalous Anime pics as my RPing characters. And all the pictures I took and uploaded ever, including the ones I thought I'd deleted on purpose after putting them safely on Photobucket.

Wrong-o-rama. But it's good to know that my photos from India and Japan, from Beer Club, and N&E Gay Pride's vodka sno-cone truck, and the first year of 10K (RIP) are still in existence and in original format.

However, also found some strange goodies... including about 150 pictures, each in triple, of every single member of the Kennedy family.

Except this one looks a little too much like a photo of a crazy murderer while they're still only on the "watch for this guy" list.

And check out Jackie O's dress up top. Wow.

But I also found a few hundred photos of screenshots and demo pics from the Sims 2 Preview disc.


Please tell me this does not make you want to play the Sims again?????




Reminds me of the days my cuz and I used to buy each other without fail the newest Sims expansion pack for birthdays and Christmas.

Also good to know that I have lots of copies of Sandman somewhere on my laptop :)

Avatar

I saw Avatar last night. In 3D! I didn't blink for 3 hours. Those glasses are intense. Especially the Piranha 3D preview. Who doesn't want 3D boobs? Oh wait... Totally going to see that.

But Avatar.
Oh my god.
I was skeptical at first. I thought the acting in the first 20 minutes was terrible. I didn't even like Signorney Weaver at first. All the character's were too over-the-top type-cast. But then. BUT THEN.

DOES THIS NOT LOOK LIKE A GUY WEARING A VERY SENSITIVE BLUE MASK????
Unbelievable. There were moments on facial closeups I thought I was looking at Yoda. And they did a good job on Yoda. The puppet.

I left the movie thinking "This is the Star Wars of our generation." James Cameron could easily have stretched this out into a series. As it is, of course, it is amazing, but conveniently left open for sequels/prequels.

George Lucas was at the top of the game in his day. He did stuff for movies and special effects that allowed Avatar to even be a dream. All I'm saying. Lucas-Cameron. Way to go.

I wish I could find some good screenshots of the landscape. MOSS THAT LIGHTS UP UNDER YOUR FEET. I want to go to there.

I also want to go to here.

In 2010 I Made a Video!

First shot, not bad considering I didn't even know I had a movie maker that came with my webcam :)

Terrible, Awful, and Poopy

Don't you hate it when your hipster-Hasidic upstairs neighbors take a 20 minute shower at 2am causing your toilet to overflow as expected as you told them 5 hours ago that your drains flood over with poop and band-aids if water is run anywhere in the building for more than a minute and that you would be calling a plumber first thing in the morning but until then to please please please only take 2 minute showers?

I hate that.

In Manhattan

Imprompt-to Baroque Opera under a bridge in Central Park.


Sunset on a lake by a castle.


Halloween shopping on Broadway.


Staring at gigantic advertisements at night.

Mondays = Fridays!

So this summer I bought some green bean plants. 4 to be exact. I wasn't sure at the time when to pick my beans, and I got a bunch, but I let them whither on the vines, unfortunately.
However, I had a survivor! I recently planted some indoor herbs, and also transplanted my one remaining bean plant with the one surviving bean still clinging on.

My bean baby. The last survivor.


Turned into a delicious creamy bacon pasta! One bean. He did a good job.

Last night we got all dressed up and went to this restaurant (originally for drinks and dessert since we already made dinner) called Chez Oscar that I bike by all the time. It turned out to be really great. And I tried 2 new things: steak tartare and escargots! Both so good.


Also, I only paid $3.95 for my boyfriend. How much did you pay?
