my brother and i were watching the Transformers trailer today...to which my brother complained, "unh, Bumblebee!?!" ever a Mace. (perhaps he was more articulate, but you get the idea).
how does Bumblebee go from a VW bug to [what looks like] a Chevy Camaro? (not that i have anything against the new Camaro: see my ode to the 2009 Camaro) i can see the producers over at Dreamworks now; “so, the VW bug is a bit 80’s and, well, German. How about something a little more American, like a Chevy! Chevys have such an American name. Chevys are ‘Like a rock.’ I like the sound of that!”
“But rocks don’t transform, sir. At least not very quickly.”
“We can fix that. What’s our budget?”
i say this a lot it seems: “oh, Michael Bay.”
*sigh*

Progression, I swear (New York round).
what i've learned this week.
moderate binge drinking is the best cure for a head cold. immoderate water and Naked juice drinking does not really cure a hangover however.
it is entirely possible to drink all night for free. you just have to 1) know a bartender, 2) crash a pretentious private party with an open bar, or 3) be female. if all of these things apply to you, you're in trouble.
you can beat box on a flute. to Herbie Hancock no less. which actually sounds pretty sweet.
New York is a small town. don't let that population of eight million thing sway you. if you think you won't run into people you know, you're wrong.
the motion-sensored artistic light installment in Union Square is a close second to being on drugs.
i'm pretty sure a grande carmel macchiato costs more in New York than anywhere else.
it is entirely possible to subsist on pizza and nothing else. it is entirely possible that i did this for the year and a half that i lived in NY.

sure doesn't feel like a vacation...
New York is the worst place to be sick. There's just something about the city that screams "you should not be at home sick in bed." better yet, sick in somebody else's bed. always awesome.
this has, of course, not stopped me from going out, high on sudafed (they should really tell you on the box: this drug may cause tangential thoughts and sentences. normal people may look at you questioningly). i've been drinking a lot more tea than alcohol, though. unfortunately, my partner in tea is on the other side of the country. and when i say tea, i really do mean tea.

Progression, I swear (Round Four).
what i learned this week:
bringing up religion, abortion or the death penalty will at best beget discussion of the topic, and at worst, an all-out argument. or a war or something. unless of course you are with me, and the topic is the death penalty. which i apparently don't care about one way or the other. (in discussing this with Glenn the other night i believe my response was, "in 16th century England, they used to behead people and display the head on a stake on the London Bridge for a month. at least we've progressed.")
who says i'm not an optimist.
saying that you "don't respect people's [religious] beliefs" may come off as callous. but then, people sort of misconstrue the meaning of that statement.
that one person i know who voted for Bush over Gore in 2000 is completely misguided. and, you know, a few million other Americans as well.
the outpouring of a santa claus convention can really back up traffic.
two-year-olds can push a stuffed animal down a flight of stairs for hours and be thoroughly entertained. two-year-olds are also better at pronouncing my name than most adults i encounter.

we fear change
some technical things (announcements, if you will).
i'll be revamping this site in the weeks to come (on account of my finally having some time to fuck around with code and shit) this will likely involve site feed, possibly adsense and i don't know. a different font maybe. i know. try to contain your excitement. i'll try to implement some clever weekly bit. which may or may not last (if you've been paying attention, you know that i've already sort of done this. albeit a bit slapdash).
my blog won't get you drunk or give you an orgasm (well, i kind of fucking hope it doesn't, for that would imply your life is more pathetic than mine) but regardless, something to look forward to. like Lost and that trip to Hawaii you can't afford.
shockingly, i have to go to a party now.

Progression, I swear (Round three).
what i learned this week:
if you write a really good term paper, your professor might accuse you of plagiarism.
high school drama never really ends. in fact, it may actually occur after high school.
i really need an xbox360 (i'll note here that this may not be construed as "work safe". i'll also note that even digital avatars have tan lines. who knew?)
it is entirely possible to purchase every meal at starbucks.
it is entirely possible that i drink too many energy drinks which do not actually provide energy (she types, glancing over at the collection of empty Rockstar cans on her night table. squinting, she notices the words "energy supplement," suddenly realizing her problem)
