A Trick or Treater No More

Yes, I know that I'm 24 and should have gotten that out of my system already, but I have to admit that I miss trick or treating. Not that eating candy crap, but the actual dressing up and walking with my parents around the neighborhood ringing doorbells and getting to see the insides of all these people's houses that you normally never knew existed or didn't care to give their house another look. It's very intimate, if you think about it, you are essentially opening up a part of your life to someone dressed up in a weird costume and giving them candy. It's the holiday were it's still OK to do that, be intimate and cordial to your neighbors without asking anything in return.

However, I am kind of glad that I live in an apartment building though and I don't have to worry about feeding the neighborhood children this year since I'm painfully broke until tomorrow. So screw you neighborhood kids! Eris is scrooging out this year!

Insanely Busy Halloween Weekend

Mia-fication was a success!

Oh my God, if I do that again I'm wearing WAY more comfortable shoes, or at least cheat and sneak in some squishy insoles or something like that. Holy Christ on a cracker.

Well, the first party this Friday was awesome, it was at the Taj Lounge on the west side of Manhattan, hence so were the prices but that's another story all together. It's an India fusion restaurant/bar and it was so nicely decorated and had some really great drink mixes, with incredibly horrible prices ($12 for a martini, screw you!!!). Met some really interesting people with some amazing costumes and we were able to sneak into the VIP loft area so we could sneak a couple scenes of The Exocist that they had playing in the background and get a great view of the party below. It's amazing and also sad in a way how far you can get by just batting some eyelashes and having gallons of makeup on.

Then we went off to have drinks somewhere and ended up at a "gentleman's club" which was interesting and took some convincing to get me inside, but I will say that the place was very very classy so I wasn't completely revolted and didn't want to run away and take a 2 day shower. So I think I was only mentally scarred for about 2 years worth of therapy, not like 5 or something crazy like that.

Saturday was another set of Halloween parties, first stop was pre-gaming over at a friends or as the executive alcoholic says it was "preparation." It also makes me feel tremendously better to see so many people traveling with their flasks, I don't feel like that lone alcoholic. We're just all cheap, yet classy together.

Then we went off to a local Yalies hangout/bar called Gypsy (and yeah, no link because it's Yale and they just love their secret societies) where there were some outstanding costumes by the alumni, I love when intelligent people just go all out and crazy with their costumes. Let's so down the list of costumes: The Ambiguously Gay Duo, Fidel Castro, the iPod commercial, an iPod, Papa Smurf, Mia before and after (I was before), a salt and pepper set, the Three Musketeers....the list goes on.

Then we were off to the Architectural school's Halloween party which was so insanely packed WAY beyond firecode that we only stayed for about an hour before we gave up and left.

So now I'm waiting for pictures and the feeling to come back to my feet since both days I was in either bitch boots or my Bandolino pumps. But all and all, great weekend.

Mia-fication

Oh yeah, that's right kiddies, Eris bought her wig and we are good to go. Now I just need to alter it a bit since no one actually sells a "Mia Wallace Wig" (the bastards!) so I have to cut and shape mine a bit to get the full affect. So I'm staying in tonight and getting everything ready for the Halloween party on Friday night. I'll have to see how far I'm willing to go for the full effect, hmmmm...I may end up rewatching Pulp Fiction yet again just to see if I have the general costume down.

Yay, another listing!

My engineering brotha from anotha motha has listed me in his bloggie list! w00t

Eris + Being Social = No Webbing

I've noticed that the more social I get, the less I update anything web related. So yeah, you guys will just have to wait until I'm bored and lonely again for any major update. :-P

I had way too much fun Friday night to be OCDing over the color of my web links and the hue of my background, so suck it!

But I still do love you all, I can't lie. You helped me through my hermitage during the winter and spring, so I'm always happy for that. However, that does mean at the slightest chance of a date, I will have to drop you guys, just to let you know. I don't want to be seen as being "mean" or anything like that.

;-)

$$$

I think I spent too much last weekend on clothing for myself and birthday presents for my sister because now I'm starting to feel the tightening of my wallet. You'd think by now that I'd be able to budget since I actually have a somewhat predictable salary, but oh no, not with my spending habits. I think I really need to sit down tonight and figure out how much I can comfortably spend in a month. It's accounting night kiddies! WOOO!! I bet you can't wait to be an adult too so you can spend your nights going over bills!

But it's all in preparation for how much frolicking I can do on the weekend and for the coming weekend since I may be hopping the train into New York for a Halloween party. So yeah, I'm going to be a penny-pincher for a while until the weekends which I know I should be anyway, but I'm REALLY REALLY going to try to stick to it this time. I promise...

Tired Social Butterfly

You really know when something is essential to you or at least really important to you when you start to take it for granted. This is just human nature and we all do it unfortunately, and I'm definitely doing it right now with my current social situation. This does mean that I'm having a great time because of the fact that I'm taking it for granted, if you follow what I mean.

Since I'm out and about WAY more than the winter time, I've noticed that I miss just spending time in my apartment reading or doing nothing, even though when I had all the alone time in the world I wished I was out barring and partying. This makes no sense, but the grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it??

And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my current social situation for anything in the world right now, I'm having a great time and doing it with people who are somewhat on the same page as me in the sense of staying out late, but not too late and partying hard, but not too hard. So it's a wonderful party balance I must say, but I do miss reading a magazine in my apartment or curling up with a book in bed.

God, I sound so spoiled right now! WAH WAH WAH! Oh well, I'll be fine when I finally do get home tonight.

Bowie...on Spongebob??

Oh you heard me right (or saw me, since you're reading this), David Bowie will be doing a voice for a character in the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants sometime next year. Isn't he the greatest? I love him! He's doing it for his little 6 year old daughter who's a huge fan of the show which makes me question why I'm such a huge fan of the show since I'm 24 years old...I know there's something wrong with that but screw it, I can't stop watching it.

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!!
Absorbant and yellow and porous is he!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!!"

Oh yeah, that's typed from memory, I'll have you know.

Boys are weird...

...and they have cooties too!!

And yeah, in my years on this earth that about sums it up. I still love 'em though, but damn they are difficult to understand sometimes. Or maybe it's just us women folk overanalyzing them...

Like you ever have problems reading really simple instructions and you screw up because you're over thinking them, yeah I think that's how it is with guys.

Itsa me...MARIO!!

Oh rejoice! Thinkgeek, one of my favorite places to shop online, has just got a whole new batch of Mario and old school Nintendo toys from Japan. The Japanese are much more cultured then us heathen American's, I mean they still have and sell Mario paraphenalia.

I'm moving to Japan immediately, that's it! I need my Mario fix and it looks like they are the only country that actually cares! Bah!


Oooooo, look at the plush dolls you can get!! Aren't they so cuuuuute!!

Favorite Blog?!

Whoa, I'm on someone's favorite blog list! You rock Chuck! \m/

Thanks for listing me!

Bowling is a Stupid Sport...

...because I'm not good at it!


See, that picture clearly shows what pins are supposed to do when you bowl, mine do not do that at all. Apparently, from what my friends tell me, I "put a mean curve on the ball" so I have potential, it's just that whole "aiming thing" that I don't have down yet. Also my nails were entirely too long and kept getting in the way of my throwing ability. So no more girlie nails next time I go out.

The Departed

Go see this film immediately! I'm actually going to go see it again, so yeah, that's how good it is. Well, I did miss like 10 minutes of it since I needed to fetch food for someone, so that's why I'm going to go see it again.

Essentially it's an angry, Southie Boston, police/badguy movie and it's phenomenal. It's done in the classic Scorcese style of directing and editing: great soundtrack, fast and harsh editing, realistic plot line.

Just go see it. I'll say no more, I don't want to ruin it and disappoint The Man:


(He really hates it when people give away his endings, so I'll be good.)

Cellphone Posting

Seeing if I can post from my cellphone.

EDIT: Oooo, and I can, that's so cool.

Stronger, faster, BETTER!

Yeah I got sick of my previous blog on MSN Spaces, since it would take forever to load. Damn you Microsoft!!

So I'll be playing around with this one for the time being, expect many changes to come.
