That's All, Benny!

I was born and raised in New York's capital region.  Not gonna lie, one of the best ways to pass the time on a miserable winter night is to spend time with friends at a local watering hole shooting some pool, shooting the breeze and knocking back some shots.   

The Elbo Room is one of the divey-est of dives and where some great times were had. 

We Live In A Spaceship, Dear.

How does one celebrate no longer having the plague?  By working 6 days straight and clocking in a crapton of OT. That's what!

So today, after running all over hell's half acre to get much needed errand running taken care of, I stripped off the makeup, put on my comfiest sweatpants and chose to wear a shirt that I haven't worn in an eternity.   

Since I'm burnt out I can think if no real connection to myself or my life with this one today other than I am a fan of retro art and the show Firefly. Sorry! I'll try harder next time. 

The Streets of Harajuku Are Your Catwalk

A few years back I saw a T with a little cartoon girl who looks just like me when I wear my glasses.  Soooooooo how could I not buy it? I mean really!

OMG!!! HE TOUCHED MY HAND!!!

Not gonna lie...I mean why should I?  This is my blog all about me, me, me so why be anyone else?  Yeah...so...I've had a crush on a certain celebrity since the first time I saw him laugh at his own jokes on SNL.  I thought he was tall, funny and slightly awkward PLUS he attended university in my home town which was a bit of a turn on. I had been to the same haunts as this man.  Albeit in a different time. Le sigh.   

So, long story short I was lucky enough to have one of the BEST DAYS EVER with my sister from another mr., brother from another mother & future tattoo artist in good ol' NYC a few years back.  We checked out the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA, mocked NYU art students, had my bladder control called into question, got sauced at a pub close to 30 Rock, saw Tina Fey and the crew of 30 Rock filming a scene right before our eyes, watched Questlove buy a sandwich and sat in the audience of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  

Fun Fact: "Encino Man" is a boring tool bag. 

Throwback Thursday!

Guess who started wearing nerd shirts at the ripe old age of 2 1/2?  ME!!!!!!

Welcome to the Exciting World of 3D Chess!

I feel like good health and good juju are returning and it feels amazing!  Eventhough I'm not 100% it seems like forever since I've felt this damn good. I'm trying to hang back and relax as much as possible, but I cannot help to celebrate. Even just a little. So on this dreary Tuesday night I am kicking back with an ice cold lager, wearing one of my favorite and cozier long-sleeved Ts while watching some episodes of my favorite nerdy comedies ever...Big Bang Theory.   

I will admit that the rules to Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock still confound me a little, the concept makes me giggle. Just like the show.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, some of the conversations and situations on the show strike a chord with me.  I'm constantly reminded of friends and good times.  I've also been reminded of the times I let things go a little as I spent days (& nights) playing Sims 3, believe that a warm beverage is comforting & have had the Star Wars vs Star Trek debate (or the even more heated new trilogy vs. original Star Wars trilogy discussion).  But besides making me laugh and having a few comfy Ts based on the show, my most favorite thing about BBT is that it's a common thread within my family and with many of my friends.  We can talk and laugh and quote and joke about it.  It's nice to be able to bond over something as little as a 30 minute sitcom. 

I Made The Yankees Hat More Famous Than A Yankee Can

Sooooooooooooooooo it's officially day 23 of feeling like complete garbage and how did I celebrate this day?  Well by going into work and doing more than I could for much longer than I should.  Of course.  Because that is how I freakin' roll!

Anyhooooooo, I'm now at mi casa about to kick back with a relaxing beverage and wearing the first things that I grabbed out of my closet...a Yankees T!  It's not baseball season yet and this shocks me. I mean doesn't the season last like 11 months or something. DAMN!  It goes on forever!  Anyway, I don't believe you guys have seen this one before so here it is.  A shirt that I bought in an airport on my way back from an Albany trip I do believe.  Oh crap!  Or was it Long Island?  I don't remember other than it was an airport on my way back to BWI sometime last year. I've been sick, people!  Please cut me some slack.   ;)

Happy FRIGGIN' New Year!

Besides a fabulous new orange Keurig coffee maker I managed to get a heaping helping of the flu for Christmas.  

As for my New Year...well...let's just say that it was spent in an ER of an animal hospital in DC. So, yeah, this year has not been the greatest so far.  

Tonight I'd like to slay some ghouls, but instead I'm once again in the probe position, snuggling with an ailing Chihuahua and wearing a favorite new T.
