stuff i wish i thought of part 2

http://www.thirdanddelaware.com/

Anyone who knows me can attest to my love (ok fine, obsession) with anything related to fashion.  Second only to fashion is anything related to 80s and 90s pop culture.

Imagine my happiness then, when I stumbled across a website dedicated to the fashion of the tv show Roseanne.    It is like the cross section of all things fabulous.   Brilliant.

my flops abandoned me

And I can completely understand why. I didn't want to leave Rincon either.

a symphony in meat

Take two beautiful steaks from DeBragga.

Add two crazy men who love meat marginally more than their wives.

Add some delicious sides made by one of the wives who can actually cook (i.e., not me).

Voila, Meatfest with the McGowans 2010. This evening ended in a sleepover in Monclair (i.e. Seth passed out) where I was ceremonially kicked off of the couch and ended up sleeping on a recliner.

But it was worth it.

why puerto rico, you ask?

1. Time slows to almost a stop on the beach in 85 degree sunny weather

2. Empty beaches with no beach passes

3. Cerveza?

4. Banana DANG (google it)

5. Julius the sand crab

6. The use of horses as transportation on major roads

7. No mosquitoes

8. The seemingly endless breeze that is just cool enough

9. Bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for $2.50

And last but not least:

farewell new york

It is with great happiness I announce that I am never leaving this
square of Rincon beach. I will welcome visitors and gifts. I only
ask that my lovely friends watch over my shoes and bags (with the
understanding that any and all bags can be borrowed).

stuff i wish i thought of first

http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/

if i only i had thought of it first! seth talks in his sleep like its his job. just add it to the list of great ideas staring me in the face that i completely ignored. this blog is not to be missed.

new neighbors

this morning, i am coming out of my apartment (reality check - rushing out of my apartment so i don't miss the train) to head out to work. my new neighbor is leaving his place at the same time. in an exciting turn of friendliness, he introduces himself, starts chatting with me and i find out he is from a town outside of pennsylvania where a really good friend of ours grew up.

small world.

so i say, "that's funny, seth and i have a very good friend from yardley, do you know him?"

so he goes, "yes, i know the whole family."

wait for it.

he then says "my older brother played in a band with your friend's brother."

translation: our neighbor has an OLDER brother who played in a band with our friend's YOUNGER brother.

way to make me feel my age through and through on a friday morning. on the flip side, i now have two friendly neighbors who i actually know! that's a first.

Note To Self

Never listen to Lady Gaga's The Fame in its entirety while half asleep on the commute to work. It will stay in your brain for days and days. I have an irrational fear that I will accidentally type out the lyrics to Paparazzi in the opinion that I am drafting.

On a delightful and completely unrelated note, I find this website utterly hilarious and I really don't know why.
