I forgot people outside of the east coast don’t know how to use escalators.
In my home town, which, until recently, was the home of the only escalator between Denver and Salt Lake City (now there are some in the ski resorts), people would go to the airport just to ride the escalator. Because, you know, escalators are almost as fun as roller coasters.

Dear Tumblr:
Matt and I want to go on vacation. The last weekend in Feb/first weekend in March. Somewhere warm. Somewhere easy to get to from NY. Somewhere out of the country, so his work can’t contact him.
We were thinking Grand Cayman. What place do you suggest? Please provide photographic or anecdotal (preferably 1st person accounts) evidence of your suggestion’s...
Second morning in a row where I've been consumed...

Last night I begged Matt in multiple text messages (AND emails to his blackberry) to bring me McNuggets when he came home.
At 3AM he called and woke me up and asked if I still wanted them - I said no.
I instantly regretted it, but five minutes later, he refused to go back outside and get them.
(Question: Am I too spoiled or not spoiled enough?)

To Do, Saturday Jan 31:
Gym
Go to Faicco’s to get soppressatta and coppa for the sandwich Matt wants me to make for the Apathetic Super Bowl Party I’m having tomorrow.
Finish White Tiger, book # 9 for the year.
Try to get a party of six in to Mary’s Fish Camp (we’re showing up around 7, we hope to sit by 9) to eat lobster rolls tonight.

The arsonist has oddly shaped feet.
Coworker’s 30th birthday party was fun. Lots of pictures (not shitty cell phone pictures like you usually get) to upload. I’m home, falling asleep, and texting “McNuggets PLEASE!” to Matt. I hope he gets it and brings them to me.
I just said ‘I now know how Naomi Campbell feels. Sometimes you just get so angry and you just want to throw a cell phone at someone.’
Overheard in my office
The new girl who has the cube 15 feet away from me has been talking to her boss for 20 minutes, loudly. About restaurants. She particularly liked one place and said, “the food didn’t taste like it often does, you know, all restaurant-y.”
…
What?
And what restaurants are you going to?
(Note: I do not consider Olive Garden, Chili’s, Outback, or places of that...
Matt is dying for me to make the bottom one of... →
For our “well, we feel like we should watch the Super Bowl but we really don’t care” party.
Maybe the top one, too, but “with less artichokes.”
(I just want to make the bottom one and fall into an Italian cured meat coma.)
BED. I’m trying to plan a super bowl party (Matt has this idea about “that huge sandwich that was in either Time Out or New York Mag this week or last week”), I have to go to my coworker’s 30th “get shitcanned” birthday party tomorrow, and oh yeah, my boss wants me to put three books into production in the morning, but when I show them to her, she’ll want...
Oh good god, I think my mom just got on twitter. (Either that, or my sister just told her about my last 20+ tweets. Blatant twitter plug, even though I put more on here than there.)
The internet is officially dead, I’m turning it off and never coming back.
This is better...
I have:
cleaned up the broken glass
gone to the grocery store
done the rest of the dishes (sans 3 wine glasses, as there is NO PLACE to put them as they dry, damn you, 9x7 kitchen that if it weren’t for the recession would be in the middle of a remodel)
talked to Joe Muto and Matt and confirmed that they are on board for a Jambalaya feast and Guitar Hero World Tour extravaganza. ...
Oy, happy day?

So, my firm just cut 10% of our staff and I’m still here. I consider it a minor miracle given the environment around here lately.
But, I’m not complaining.
10% for your office, or for the whole firm? (I had it in my head your firm was multiurban, sorry if I got that wrong). Still, sheesh. Hate to be dodging those bullets.
Nope, 10% domestically (cuts in...
I just received the BEST EMAIL EVER:
Girls,
Don’t forget there is a big box of chocolate on my desk that I need help eating so feel free anytime to come and take some off of my hands.

She is my favorite and I’d never heard this before. It makes me love her even more.

1) I made the rainbow cake. With some modifications (ie, one of the layers did not turn out). Pictures of the feasts to come tomorrow.
2) Dinner was had and enjoyed by all. I even did most of the dishes.
3) I’m currently wearing new shoes that don’t match my outfit. But I don’t care, because they are so pretty.
4) Now am going to finish book # 8 for the year and go to...
Children of Men is one of the most amazing movies...
joemuto:
Why is this film not more famous or recognized?
I have been meaning to watch this. Can I borrow?
To Do Tonight:
Make cake for Jen (the rainbow cake that looks so friggin’ awesome)
Make dinner (huge ass shrimp for shrimp cocktail that I found at the store, chicken tacos)
Finish What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
Open and try on awesome shoes I bought last week that just arrived.
Document all of the above for Tumblr. Except #3. That’s not really picture worthy.
