instead of typing up a list of new year’s resolutions this year (which i never do in the first place), i am going to compile a list of things i hope everyone else considers accomplishing this year. here goes nothing: adopt a pet or a kid (if you can swing it). i know this may sound crazy but i sincerely think that adoption is the most beautiful gift one can give another being. there are so...
took a fucking naproxen by accident yesterday. thought it was my emergency acne medication. i was trying to take a preventive measure towards having rad skin for the new year and lowered my immunity to antibiotics instead. not a good way to start the year folks.
i just made my friend the best. mixtape. ever.
just added the tumblrbot to my aim. this could be dangerous.

say what you will...
indie rock music geeks will argue this statement till the end, but i firmly believe that ‘summer sun’ by yo la tengo is their greatest album ever. so great, that i paid to download it on iTunes because the p2p and torrent community have blacklisted me from sourcing it. that means a lot. highlights: “nothing but you and me”- the saddest song ever written about a break-up and...
Yo La Tengo - "Nothing but Me and You"
….is the such a bittersweet and beautiful song. it pairs well with a nice chilled glass of rioja. trust.
Simply Shabby Chic Smocked Duvet Set - Full/Queen... →
i haven’t found a single duvet cover that tickles my fancy for the last couple of weeks now. then i came across this frilly, girly number from target and fell in love. let’s have a sleep over.

real talk
I think the term ‘Real Talk’ is the most brilliant concoction ever.

having a hard time reading the japanese text? i’ll translate: it’s a link to a full version of jessica simpson’s smash hit ‘blonde ambition’. indulge.
marriage
my father is more concerned with me getting married than my mother is. i find this incredibly odd but brush off the suggestions with ease. i have never had much interest in getting married but i am slowly realizing that it’s not that he’s worried about me ever getting married. he’s more concerned with being there, which is sad but true.
Real Talk
Me: I'm so bored, Dad. I'm going out of my mind... I'm even thinking of going to a museum today.
Dad: Oooh, that's a good idea. You might meet your future husband there. Manny Museum! Mr. Museum!
Me: Manny Museum? OK, Dad. Umm... you're crazy.
Dad: You never know. People meet in museums. It's a nice place to meet someone.
Me: That's great, Dad.
battles guy
i have had the distinct pleasure of bumping into the guy with the big afro from the band battles twice in the span of two weeks. something tells me he lives in my neighborhood, because i see him at all of the local stops. this is slowly developing into a groupie crush.

i would lose a pinky toe to be javier bardem’s love slave. maybe even a finger.
dvd's
i tend to purchase dvd’s of movies i have seen a hundred times. for the most part, i rarely watch any of them. which basically means that i purchase them to have on display for house guests. look how cool i am.
blah
i have daily moments where i think of brilliant things to write about and never write any of them down. a good majority of them hit me when i’m at the gym, so it would be physically impossible to write them down. by the time i log on to tumblr and try to jog my memory, all that comes out is the bullshit below this post. maybe i should buy one of those voice recorders you can attach to your...
drabdrobe
for some reason, i happen to own a few select articles of clothing that are very ‘jenny from da block’. when i wear the right items together, i transform into ‘carmen from tha bronx’. the only person that has truly seen this in it’s full glory is armando and he was quick to point it out to me. i went to trader joe’s this morning in one of my ghetto get-ups and...

age
you know you’re getting older when you start receiving holiday cards with pictures of people’s kids on them. i am currently in possession of four. weird.
gym stuff
at the end of my workouts, i usually hit the stationary bikes to watch television while burning a small amount of calories. it’s a nice way to get a solid hour of cardio in at the nysc without killing myself. this routine ensures i’ll return the next day and is the perfect way to catch up on my favorite shows (gossip girl, yum). on wednesday night, while biking to some tunes, i had...
the new digs
week one down and an indefinite number of weeks to go. baby girl is all grown up and heads into an office every morning with a cup of coffee and story or two to tell of the previous day’s adventures. it’s a strange new routine but an oddly pleasant one. i knew i would one day have to transition back over to working in an office and i couldn’t think of a better place to do it. the...
End of an Era
Jakob Lodwick and Julia Allison broke up recently but I didn’t notice this until this evening. I haven’t been on the internet much outside of work (shocking) because I’ve been visiting friends and family across the country, so imagine my shock when I logged on to jakobandjulia.com! My friend and I predicted this day would come. No relationship can exist happily, with such a...
Flight Delays
My flight is now delayed by 30 minutes at O’Hare. It’s a good thing I invested in a $7 internet connection to Tumbl through this time wasting extravaganza. This is how I will make up for a week of missing posts. First stop on the topic train? Chicago! I have been here since Friday night and enjoyed my time, seemingly spent mostly on the Northside. Despire poor weather conditions and...

Kaze Sushi →
More Chicago-isms: Kaze Sushi has officially joined the ranks of my top ten U.S. sushi restaurants. The duo of chef brothers dole out incredible sushi innovations, with an amazing variety of hot and cold dishes. My sis and I did the $50 tasting menu and enjoyed a crab bisque, blue fin tuna sashimi (heavenly), amazing nigiri samplers and an outrageous lightly seared bison dish. Don’t miss out...
Best. Massage. Ever →
If you are ever in Chicago, stop in and get a massage from Camille at the Egea spa in Evanston. She gave me the most incredible hour long massage. To. Die. For.
I am officially living alone as of yesterday. When I came home last night, I realized that I have a million more personal possessions than Adam did because the only things missing were his clothing in the closet and kitchen stuff. Weird.
My horoscope said to get back in touch with people later. It claims my emotional sensitivity is running a bit high today (which may very well be true). How will I ever know if I haven’t left my apartment since the moment I walked in here last night?
The woman selling me cigarettes better be careful.
Climbing
Starting December 18th, I am moving to a cubicle in Whitestone, Queens. I just recently accepted a position in the Business Development department of the company I work for to work as an ‘Ignition Marketing Manager’. This essentially means that I am going to travel across the U.S. training new field marketing employees, serving as a liason between the field and the office, and acting...
