FEB '11 ARCHIVES 9:45 PM 2/10/2011hello, kids. happy february and happy belated chinese new year! i'm going to keep this post rather brief because i have the flu and boy, does it suck donkey balls. the fever and chills kicked in this afternoon and i was not a happy camper. hopefully i'll be in bed tonight before 11 and sleep it all off. wishful thinking.... anyways, i went out this weekend to some bars/clubs on H street. that neighborhood was straight up ghetto. it felt like i was back in LA again. haha. like a dumbass, i left my credit card at the bar while buying a round of kamikaze shots, so i had to go back tonight and pick it up. my coworkers came with me and they were like, "umm, yeah. we're gonna stay in the car and lock the doors while you go out and attempt to recover your credit card. call us if you get shot." fortunately, nobody busted a cap in my ass, AND i was able to get my precious amex blue back. reunited and it feels sooooooooooooo good. so, the moral of a story is don't be an idiot like me and get dragged out to the ghetto to party and then be even more idiotic and leave your credit card at the packed bar. let's see, what else. valentine's day is in a few days. you know what that means. SEND ME CHOCOLATE. okay i'm totally tapped out. this is quite possibility one of the lamest posts ever. but i'm SICK. waaaaaah. update more later when my tonsils aren't the size of golfballs.  OF HAVING COOTIES. all right, i have recovered enough from my tuberculosis to update again. REJOICE, PEOPLE! i had a few rough nights at work trying to get ready for an appeals conference while attempting not to die from my horrible disease. i gotta say, it really sucks to be sick and living alone, mostly because you have nobody to whine to (in person) and nobody to buy you medicine while you're lying face down on the couch, still dressed in work clothes, hacking up a lung and drowning in a deep, deep pool of self pity. not that i was that pathetic or anything.... anyways, happy belated vday to all you lovey dovey couples and bitter singles out there. and bitter couples too, i guess. jack sent me a dozen long-stemmed roses as well as the bose ipod dock that i've been salivating over for a very long time. i sent him a super duper deluxe outrageously expensive.... hallmark card. AND THE GIRLFRIEND OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO........ not me. needless to say, i've been blasting my ipod at ungodly volumes these past couple of days - it sounds so ridiculously good. i'm pretty sure somebody is gonna call the cops on me. speaking of cops, i finally got my windows tinted a few weekends ago. i found an awesome one-man shop in alexandria, VA who spent almost four hours putting on the 35% charcool tints on all of the windows for $200. 35% on all windows is kinda/sorta illegal in VA and totally illegal in DC so i'm just counting down the days before i get pulled over and slapped with an expensive ticket. it looks so good though...  in a new dumbass move on my part, i dropped one of my pearl stud earrings down the shower last monday. i frantically shut off the water and grabbed a flashlight to peer down the pipe but had no luck retrieving the earring. deifnitely not a good way to kick off the week. so, i am now $400 poorer and the owner of a new pair of 7.5mm AAA akoya pearl studs.  all right, gotta get back to work. have a great end of february. i am pensacola, FL for work on tues/wed. this past week i learned that there is really no good/cheap way to get to pensacola from DC. or from anywhere else in the country, for that matter - my plane ticket cost $1200 and i get to connect through atlanta. i'm also staying at a local hampton inn. from four seasons in vegas and the princess scottsdale resort in phoenix and the hilton hawaiian village in honolulu to hampton inn in pensacola. sigh. and in a few more weeks i will be in zanesville, OH. do not ask me where that is, because i really don't know. maybe if i get lucky i'll be able to stay at a motel 6. damn this glamorous life! | |||||||
