Hey adoring fans (aka my new neighbor that I made read my blog today)!

Sooooo, tonight I am going to do something that I’ve done before, but wanted to make sure to do again before the EOW and tonight seems like a perfect night!

Ready for it?

Best thing to do on a rainy night in Manhattan?

Are you on the edge of your seat?

Drum roll please…

I’m going to go to the movies….AND smuggle in boxed wine!

Come on!  We’ve all done it.  It’s fun.  I hope to do it again before the EOW but I have so many things to get done, I’m not sure if I’ll have time (the lottery is not going to win itself).  The movie: Frankenweenie.  Yes, I know it’s a kids movie, but it’s Tim Burton and it’s almost Halloween, and it got good reviews, and my dog is my best friend, and shut the Hell up I don’t care what you think.  I hope everyone gets a chance to do it before the end of you know what!

Now the only question is…. cabernet or pinot noir?

1 carton of wine, 2 friends, and 3 or so hours later….

Frankenweenie was awesome!  My neighbors (Bridgette and Justin…very cool cats) joined me to the Lincoln Center Lowes to see the movie.   Then we all came home and hugged our dogs 🙂

Hey adoring fans (Craig and my Dad)!

Just getting off work and wanted to make sure I logged in.  Today, what I wanted to try before the EOW was to get a pedicure for no particular reason.  People do it all of the time.  Rich ladies, not so rich ladies, rich dudes, not so rich dudes get pedicures all the time.  I, myself have only been pedicured in the past for big “totally worth it” reasons like weddings, vacations, or Grecian Sandal modeling (I’ve never Grecian Sandal modeled ).  Stay tuned to how I feel about it.

The next day….

Alright.

Here’s how I feel about pedicures for no reason.

They’re dumb.

My toes are now callus free (I’m gonna miss those guys), cuticle free (I could take or leave those guys) 8 toes are painted purple and $38 are missing from my wallet. 8 toes you ask?   I say 8 because both my pinky toes have that weird thing where there’s not really a toenail there and in the past I just painted the patch of skin where the toenail should be so that no one would notice.  I don’t know who would really care.  I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as the toenail police, but if there were I’m sure they’d have bigger fish to fry than going after my lack of pinky toenails.  I’ve seen some pretty gnarly toe nails out there that the toenail authorities would be more interested in policing.  Like that hobo that lives in the  subway station downtown who wears a full snow suit year round that covers everything except his thick, yellowing toenails which are on display because he converted his snow boots into peeptoes…which you and I know are SO last season.  I digress.  Back to the pedicure.  What I did love about the experience was opting for the extra 10 minute foot massage.  I just closed my eyes and imagined that my sweet little asian lady was and oiled up UFC fighter name Lars.  Totally worth $10.  So from now until the apocalypse I shall only get pedicures when necessary, but go into nail salons for lubed up foot massages whenever I damn well please.

Hello adoring fans (nobody)!

My first order of business is to finally see the last Harry Potter movie.

Like most 20 somethings that call themselves Americans, I have read every single Harry Potter book the moment they came out, and seen every Harry Potter Movie in theaters immediately on or after opening night.  Unfortunately, when the last movie came out, I was in Beverly Massachusetts performing as a dancing Gorilla in a production of Tarzan, one of my best portrayals of a dancing animal since the prior year when I played the front end of a dancing cow.  Trust me, you always want to be the front end.   Everyone in the cast went to see the midnight screening of the Deathly Hallows Part II.  Everyone but me (sad face).  You see, I was stuck back at the hotel with the flue (hangover) and couldn’t make it to the showing.   I intended to see the movie after that with some other friends, but everyone had already seen it (sad face), and as much as I love to go to the movies by myself (lonely face), time just got away from me.  So here I am a year and a half later still so curious as to how it all goes down.  Not to mention that it is conveniently showing on HBO on demand, which will help keep me in my budget (currently twenty seven dollars) for other EOW endeavors.  Will I say, “I mean, it was ok but the book was so much better”?  Probably.  But the planet can not vanish without me seeing the truth for myself!  Who knows, maybe this will be the time when I can finally say, “No way, this movie was way better than that stupid book.  J.K Rowling really should take some pointers from these screenwriters!”.  We shall see.  We shall see indeed.

Hello adoring fans….

So, as some of you may know, the world is scheduled to end on December 21st 2012.  As some of you also may know, I AM 50% TERRIFIED!  I am 50% certain that we are either going to go down in flames or be taken prisoner by martians, and 50% certain that nothing is going to happen and we are all going to be fine and go on with our humdrum lives. Obviously one of the 50% has a more terrifying outcome, which is why I’ve chosen to use this festive Holiday background.  So I came up with this idea today, 66 days before the presumed END OF THE WORLD, to take some time to get some fun things done between now and December 21st.

Some are things that are super easy and I just never take the time to do them because I’m the biggest procrastinator this side of the Mississippi (not sure if that’s accurate but wanted to get that saying out before the EOW*).  Things like painting my room, ordering a whiskey neat at a bar (and looking cool doing so), or finally going to see Wicked.

Some things are going to be a little more difficult like meeting Tina Fey, falling in love with a handsome stranger on a rainy day, or turning 30 (my 30th birthday is January 3rd).

Some of the things are things I’ve already done but just want to make sure I squeeze them in again before we are toast, martian prisoners, or completely unharmed.  Things like: renting a car to go see my family instead of smuggling my dog onto an bacteria-laden chinatown bus or, decorating my apartment for Christmas with my roommates.

I haven’t set all of my goals yet.  I’ll probably come up with most of them along the way, but one of them was to write a blog.

So here it is.

I apologize now for my spelling, grammar, and overuse of commas, (and parenthesises).   It may be boring, dirty (depending on my love affair with the rainy stranger), or may not make any sense  due to red wine consumption.  Either way I’m going to have a blast and strike while the iron is hot (again, just another fun saying to get in before EOW).  I hope anyone out there enjoys.  I welcome suggestions although I have no desire to jump out of an airplane or Adopt a Highway before, on, or after December 21st.

Here we go!  Carpe Diem?

*EOW= End Of World
