Back in the World

What? Where did you go weekend? I wasn't done with you yet! *sigh* Why must you leave me so soon? Friday night was my first big outing sense my illness (of which I am all better). I joined Laurel, Jeff, Asa, and Frank in the party car over to the other side of town to celebrate Alan's birthday. It was a lovely time in a bar which the name of is escapes me. Someone shared their french fries with the group and I ended up spending the rest of the night craving more french fries. Alan seemed to be having a great time, though I'm not sure how much of the night he remembers :) Stayed in Saturday morning watching Eagle vs. Shark which I have to say is not a very good movie. Bummer because I had been looking forward to seeing it for awhile. I went to the Beverly Center and had a joyess time at Forever 21. I decided to eat lunch on the roof top by myself. It is always a little strange to eat by yourself but I have to say sometimes it is very enjoyable. Saturday night I headed over to Amanda's and we carpooled over to Tom's house warming party. After that we went over to a come dressed as your favorite crayon color party. I chose a fuchsia like purple dress, top, and hat. Amanda wore yellow. Sunday I went over to Aimee's for ladies crafting party. I think I might have eaten my weight in cheese, I regret nothing! After that I hung out with Doug on Hollywood BLVD for awhile. Now back to work and sleepy. This week is back to the gym for me.

Downward Dog

Yesterday I was on an escalator going up and I look at the escalator going down and this woman has her tiny white dog on the stairs going down. They get to the bottom of the escalator and the woman steps off. The dog looks confused and then as the last stair drops his long white hair gets sucked under. He falls to the ground with his hair being pulled down and starts yipping in pain. It is horrible and everyone around is gasping. The woman bends down and scoops up the dog like nothing happened. The whole thing made my stomach turn.

Wet & Wild

Oh geez, one of the suits I worked on from a few seasons ago is on the front of the National Enquirer. I don't even know who that is.

Bloody

Okay, so I went home and checked the label on the pack of oranges I bought and sure enough it said "Blood Oranges." That is what happens when I go grocery shopping sick, I end up with strange things. So I ate one today. I didn't care for it. Maybe I got a bad one but it was very bitter. Why did I not know about blood oranges? Oh, I am a sleepy sleepy face today. I did not get enough sleep last night and I am about ready to go sleepy on my desk.

Seeing Red

I bought oranges at Trader Joes. I just peeled one at my desk. It looked like a regular small orange but when I opened it the fruit is red inside. This is either a type of fruit I have never had before or I got an orange that went really wrong. I don't know if I should eat it or not.

CliffsNotes

Side Note: I was telling the below story to some people today and they said "Well, sometimes it is hard for people not born here to really understand our political structure." To which I have to make clear this person was American born and raised, in case I didn't make that clear. I still feel like maybe there was hidden camera in the room because I mean...Oh My God really!?!? REALLY?

Maybe it is Best Some People Don't Vote

So I went to the doctor today to get my check-up and I always like for them to test me for everything so while I was giving lots of blood I had this conversation with the nurse.

Nurse: (looking at my I voted sticker) So who did you vote for?
Me: Well, I voted mostly yes on the propositions and I voted for Obama.
N: Who's that?
M: He is one of the Democratic nominees.
N: Oh, is that for like the president?
M: Well, it is a Primary election.
N: Oh is that like government and Schwarzenegger?
I go on to tell her about how voting and primaries work and the separate branches of the government.

N: Oh, well I don't vote. I just get mad at taxes and stuff.
M: okay
N: Do you get a fine or something if you don't vote?
M: I...um...no (I can't believe this woman has a needle in my arm).
