The Power of YouTube

I asked…
… and less than a week later, I got.
This is the power of YouTube. This is why I believe. And you only WISH you’d thought of it first. Admit it.

Saying good bye is hard.
Also have like 10 DVDs to get rid of but they’re not quite eBay-safe. If only it were acceptable to regift gay porn, throwing it all away just seems so wrong.

I’m curious: if you sleep in till 2pm and don’t go out to eat till 5pm, and you only order breakfast food… is it still considered brunch? Maybe a fashionably late brunch? High fashion brunch, then.
The restaurant was actually kind of empty tonight, really warm and lots of candles. Had steak & eggs with iced tea. Went to MondoKims afterward, bought a region-free DVD player, came home and took a nap, had PB&J for dinner. It was a lovely day of slacking and affection. Tomorrow we do the movies.
This is what days off are like sometimes, and I absolutely love them.
Purple
January 20th, 2008 / 1 comment »Went to see 27 Dresses tonight after work. The movie was cute and I love Katherine Heigl but come on, was her bad hair supposed to make me believe she was really a wallflower? I basically just went to look at James Marsden. Sweet Lord, that man is pretty. Those eyes, those cheekbones, those lips… Sometimes God gives with both hands.
And then of course there’s that whole thing. James, if you’re reading this: the safety word is “Purple”. You bring the cuffs, I’ll bring the paddle. CALL ME.
Bastian Save Us
January 18th, 2008 / 1 comment »So it’s been a nice week.
I spent most of Wednesday running around the city shopping and pampering myself. Got that facial @ Prive and then went to that outdoor market @ Spring & Wooster where I bought 3 Beebop & Wally fleece pullovers. They’re really warm and I can’t wait to start wearing them. I hate wearing winter coats, so bulky and annoying; you can never get comfortable in them on the train. Bought my mom a couple of cute asian jackets from Pearl River Mart, kind of a belated birthday/Christmas gift. Stopped in @ The Powder Room and had Ash gimme the same cut he gave Nick last week (it really looks good). Went back to Circuit City and returned that 500GB external drive I bought (I’m gonna wait for Time Capsule to come out), got a cheap printer instead.
Thursday was pretty lowkey, just went to Target and then had dinner with my old roommate BJ (who is hot as ever). We went to Garden Cafe on 207th and got all caught up on things, been so out of touch the last couple years. He’s got a totally different job now, lives in the Westchester surburbs, and is getting married this summer. I’m really happy for him and all these changes in his life: it’s INSANE to think about, especially when so much of our friendship was us in this apartment, fighting over dirty dishes and just being brokeass struggling actors.
Today has been mellow and lazy. Nick and I grabbed breakfast this morning before he went to work, and I spent most of the day running errands and window shopping. It’s been a lovely 3 days off. I work tomorrow morning, all day Sunday, and then I have 3 more days off. I plan to sleep in, have lots of sex with Nick, and do what I dream, dammit. Just like Bastian. The Childlike Empress would be proud.
Yes, this is what I do when I’m left to my own devices. You’d think if I was going to have so much free time on my hands, Life would balance things out and at least deposit some shame in my game. Yet I have none. Seriously.
Steve Jobs Sucks
January 15th, 2008 / 2 comments »I just bought a $179 wireless router for my iMac, then dropped another $129 on a 500GB external hard drive so that I can back up my iMac using the bullshit Time Machine feature that doesn’t work right on Leopard (the new Mac OS). Today Apple just introduced their new $299 wireless router that is ALSO a 500GB external drive specifically designed to work with Leopard. It’s exactly what I needed… last week and $300 ago.
I hate Steve Jobs.
That said, I’m totally buying it when it comes out next month.
