Stuffy Stuff

I finally got my Chipotle cherry popped. For some reason I thought it would be more of a sit down type place, like the abysmal Chili's. Chipolte is, for all intents and purposes, a cafeteria. Anyways, I had the carnitas salad sans dressing. Now normally, I am not a fan of shredded meats. However, the chicken was moist and flavourful. Thumbs up! Sexybeast got 3 steak tacos, I couldn't get a discernible comment out of him as he was slobbering and munching everywhere. I'm assuming he liked it.

As some of you may or may not know, I started a new job at the beginning of the year. I've been increasingly busy w/ client work and I will be spending more and more time out of the office. As such, it behooved me to get a grown up phone to check my work e-mails and calender whilst being free from the confines of my desk. After talking to IT, I was prepared to get a Blackberry Smart Phone. However, it turns out the iPhone is a better deal. (MOTHERFUCKER!!!! BOLD AND ITALICS!!! I HATE YOU BLOGGER!!!!) So, yes my loyal readers, I am now a happy owner of the best cell phone in the whole wide world. Check out the above photo I took w/ my new baby.

The Tools of my Future

To refresh the memories of my loyal readers (29 of you!), I went to a small Catholic school from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. To escape the pain and awkwardness of youth, I escaped into YA fiction. I dreamed of how awesome high school would be, friends, acceptance, hot make out sessions w/ a groovy New Wave guy. Alas, it was not to be and here's the reasons why.

1. Though to be fair, this doesn't really count, as I didn't like this book when I read it in 1987. So, there was a series of books about a set of twins, I can't remember the title or the author. But one of twins was named Susan, which really tickled me because I rarely read anything where the main character had the same name as me. Anyways, the twins did all kinds of fun little twin tricks and it was all so saccharine and twee. I would read the stupid book just to piss myself off!


2. Now heres where the blame really lies, "The Girls of Canby Hall". A series of books about 3 chicks at a posh boarding school learning, living and loving. They all had bouncy hair and liked their parents. Plus, there was lots of talk about Doc Martens. No cuss words but there was a fair amount of plots devoted to loneliness and trying to fit in. And Doc Martens!


3. The woman, the myth, the legend: NORMA KLEIN. I still read Norma Klein. Norma Klein was part voyeur, part journalist, part awesome aunt that you just got you. Norma introduced me to the word "fuckingly". FUCKINGLY! Does it get any better? Oh wait! It does. Masturbation, drug use, the real realities of sex. All the characters seemed put together and multi-faceted. As an adult,I find her characters were primarily privileged white chicks living on the upper east side of Manhattan. I mean, who else wears Dior underpants? I don't and I'm 34. But still so awesome!

All this culminates in me being strikingly unprepared for public high school. I had to wait until college for friends, acceptance and hot make out sessions.
