I had a fun filled weekend hanging out with my former roommates from 632 Dot Ave. in Southie, getting a few good runs in, Dim Sum, and working on my laptop. Saturday was card night at T's in which Katy kicked all of our asses while indulging in wine (red & white), bud light lime, and a yummy dish of risotto/asparagus/corn/shrimp, and cookies. I miss my girls and must make an effort to hop on the T and head over to Southie more often.
It has been awhile since I went to Dim Sum at China Pearl but it was good as usual. I didn't get annoyed this time because they didn't put a fork on my table. Finishing up the weekend with a six mile run through the seaport/southie and watching a little bit of the Oscars. All in all the weekend was filled with laughs, a little drama, the uncertain, listening, a few tears, and honesty. Basically I'm drained...
Group from South East London formed in the summer of 2010. I'm sure they have plenty more melodies to bring to the music scene in the upcoming year. Check out another sick new remix by Dreamtrak Diamond Sound:
Jam of the day "Photojournalist" from Small Black an indie/electro band formed in 2007 based out of Long Island. The group will be playing a gig this week down in Brooklyn at the Knitting Factory on February 25th.
By still having the honor of working in the service industry and exposing myself to all sorts of walks of life I was thoroughly amused by a comment from a patron today. My coworker brought the check over to his guests table and as he was about to walk away the women stated, "My grilled cheese was disgusting!" Coworkers response, "Was there something wrong with your meal?" Insane customer, "My sandwich was just like cheese and bread." Coworker's response, "Ok." In his head thinking...Ok Einstein, because that is the definition of a grilled cheese sandwich.
I tell you people get more and more crazy everyday and find things to complain about but are not even aware of what they are saying. I can understand if the customer asked for something and didn't get it but lady a grilled cheese sandwich is just cheese and bread. To top it off her sick daughter legit blew chunks on her plate at the table and my coworker almost got sick viewing the disgusting sight. Before I found out what he saw I thought something serious had happened because his face was white and looked like he saw a ghost.
I'm entertained everyday by the lack of common sense and obscure comments from customers in the service industry. Oh well, all you can do is smile and walk away because they are still paying for your beers on the weekend and vacations in the summer!
Anthem of the day considering the weather was amazing. I took a picture of the moon peeking out of the clouds on my walk home back to Beacon Hill through the Boston public garden. I love this city and can't wait for spring to get here...
I love this video more than the actual song. The setting, scenario, and fashion are creative and a story line that keeps you in suspense. If shows what guys will do to impress a secret love. Too bad Martin's crush has a different guy meeting her at the match. End result, he gives up. Quitters never win (or get the woman they desire).
One thing I will say, no matter what the situation is whether it's music, art, sports, or just working. Guys who are passionate about what they do exude confidence and sex appeal. Many women will attest to this. Therefore, maybe the more reserved dorky guy can be the night in shining armor if he is up for the challenge :)
This is the only clip I could find so it's not the best quality. The song 'Jolene' by Norah Jones, John Mayer, and Keith Urban in tribute of Dolly Parton. All my favorite genre's of music wrapped into one.
In Tribute to Valentines Day I wanted to share with everyone my favorite holiday cards by Uncooked.
It's Valentines Day and I'm so happy we're together. But if you ever leave me I'll kill you.
Like, literally, I'll stab you.
You're my valentine and I can't wait to get hot and heavy with you. I don't really know
what that means but I think it means we have to neck.
Sometimes I think that instead of being a person, you should be cut up into little pieces of heart
shaped candy. That's how sweet and tasty you are.

Rihanna rocks the red locks while working the sexy circus referee look. I love her playful yet eccentric fashion and dance moves. I want her large rhinestone earrings and colorful shorts! I don't have a car to hear this jam overplayed or listen to radio that often so this song doesn't get old to me...it's hot.
Great jam for my Sunday night run. Also, I love www.vodkasoup.com plug on Karate by Kennedy. The lyrics bring me back to the good old days in Tiffin Ohio sipping Carlo Rossi wine out of a coffee mug and driving through town on a Friday night thinking your gangsta forgetting your cruising in a silver Saturn.
On another note, I had a jam packed fun weekend with friends including a potent scorpian bowl, an impromptu salsa session, and a drag queen named Trampolina. Why does time fly by so fast? The start of another work week is only a few hours away but I'm excited to get it started hoping I can make it down to NYC for a quick visit on Saturday.
Oh yeah, one last thing to all you hopeless romantics and all the special people in my life, Happy early Valentines Day. I passed by my favorite urban cowboy today dressed to the 9's with his cowboy hat, boots, and shiny belt buckle on my way home from work. He wished me a Happy Valentines Day and a Happy Birthday to himself, so random and funny! But of course it put a smile on my face :)
I consider someone over the age of 12 with a basketball jersey on and no under shirt a hazard to the public, especially in an establishment that serves food. First of all an adult not participating in an athletic competition wearing a basketball jersey in general is a terrifying sight. I get the sports fan dedication to their favorite team but leave it to the kiddies or at least put a t-shirt on under your awesome over priced and over sized jersey.
I put a naked jersey wearing patron in the same category as someone shirtless. Open arm pits, exposed pale skin, and if your lucky enough to not smell BO it's been a good encounter. This brings me to my experience tonight bartending and the urge to refuse service to one of my naked jersey wearing patrons. I get it, it was a big game tonight, Celtics vs. LA. But there are many clothing options to show your commitment as a loyal sports fan so choose wisely. Next time, no shirt, no shoes, no service! Here's an example to refresh your memory.
It's the dead of winter in Boston, snow covering the ground, and the wind feels like ice hitting your face. It's time to plan a trip to a destination with a welcoming climate! My options include Dubai to visit my older sister, a Caribbean cruise with friends Natalie and Heather, long weekend to San Fran (with whoever would like to join me), Ireland, or Southern Spain/Portugal.
I'm thinking I definitely want to visit San Francisco sometime this spring if possible and go on an all out adventure in Europe. I need to get away for awhile to recharge my battery. I was browsing through a few of my old pictures from travels over the years and came across one of my favorite I took in Paris. I was visiting Paris for the weekend with my mother and aunt while studying abroad for the semester in London during my undergrad years.
It's a celebration for the Chinese New Year and I happen to find a random fortune in the bottom of one of my handbags. Most people would think that it's a little odd to have a fortune floating around in your handbag but when you go to chinatown on average 3 days a week like me than it makes a little more sense.
Here's what the fortune stated
Get to the point and keep it clear and simple.
Interesting to say the least and a statement I truly think I should take some advice from.
Great song for a snow day - Who are you when I'm not looking - Blake Shelton.
Great video with moderately accurate lyrics. Yes, woman dance around, scrape off the burnt crust on toast, sing in the shower, paint our toes because we bite our nails, and sometimes make cocktails solo when know one is around. But we do not wear fake eye lashes and a pound of makeup on a casual night in while listening to music. I know men want to think we always look vibrant and glowing. Sometimes we have mascara smeared, our hair is a little crazy, and we wear oversized t-shirts but the exception is that we are women so we always smell good.
