Garbage Car

My intelligent alley neighbor jammed their trash can past the brim, and did not secure the lid. Apparently they don't think coons and vermin live in the city. So of course a few bags were strewn about the alleyway, and, as it is an alley, there was nothing to do but drive over it. About, say, 1/2 block later, I'm starting to curse VW (not unusual) because I am hearing a rattling and I JUST spend $700 getting my car fixed. I then realize that it's not my car...I'm dragging the trash. I'm thinking I've maybe got a pop can lodged in there somewhere. No biggie. Friends, I was mistaken. Shortly after I get on the freeway, I hit a pothole. GARBAGE EXPLOSION behind my car. Syrup bottles, dirty lettuce, plastic bags, packaging...it could've killed someone! Luckily it's winter and there wasn't a convertible behind me! Can you imagine driving along and getting blasted w/ someone's nasty, critter-pawed sickness? Right in your front seat? Note: If you live in the city, watch your trash can! Animals eat trash!

Lipstick Jungle—It Ain't no Pretty in Pink

Well, this show is clearly the poor man's Sex and the City. But cute Lindsey Price is in it who stole Steve Sanders's heart. And Scott Speedman who I LOVED in Felicity (except that he always whispered his lines, which was absurd). But the best: Andrew McCarthy. GENIUS casting. Aaaaaaandrew McCaaaaaaaarthy! Remember when he made out w/ Andie in the stable in Pretty in Pink? OMG. I need to netflix that again. HOTHOTHOT.

UPDATE: I have been informed that Scott Speedman is not Scott Speedman in Lipstick Jungle! Dead ringer! That explains why he doesn't do the whisper thing...

My New Sinful Indulgence

Since I have lately had to visit the doctor 2-3 times a week, I have been treating myself to McDonald's breakfast after my appointments. Now, I hadn't had McD's brek in years, but semi-recently my (now) exbf used to occasionally surprise me with meatless Egg McMuffin meal deals (romantic, I know). However, I began to picture little beaks and wispy feathers in the egg part (it looks weird), so I had to retire them. I moved on to Cinnamon Melts. Now, I need to tell you that I don't even like cinnamon rolls. Never have. But something about them looked exceptionally delicious...and I was right. Aaaaand even better, the price is right. Under $2! Smugal.

New Product to Pimp

Ok, i am in loooooove w/ the Marc Anthony Curly shampoo and conditioner. Now, before you get all worked up, it's not the Marc Anthony of J.Lo. I don't know who this guy is but this stuff smells sooooooo good! http://www.marcanthony.com/. I first discovered this at Rainbow, but it has since disappeared. I then found it at Walgreens, so I'll have to make the trip. Normally I hate Walgreens, but have you ever noticed they have the uncanny ability to play the BEST MUSIC EVER there? It's like the "All the best from the late '80s and '90s. I mean, I stay for way too long because I'm busy singing along to all the songs--despite the fact that it makes me feel kind of dirty and always jaundiced. I don't know what's up w/ their lighting. Let me know if you try any of his other products. I think I will try his "Straight" and "Gloss" line when I am off the shampoo embargo.

Long Time...

Soooo long time, no post! I have been busy having the World's Most Boring Job, and have since put in my notice. In 2 weeks I start my Potential Dream Job, which will have me working at home a few days a week (with luck). I'm starting to come around and think that maybe if I don't work for The Man and can be the boss of my own time, I won't miss that I'm not lounging at the pool with a cabana boy...
