Wednesday

Yesterday, I played tennis out at noon time. Then I ran 5 miles in the afternoon. Today, I'm hurting. I can only guess it's from all the sun and the summer snow produced by the cotton wood tree. I've never really had allergy problems until now. I guess when you have big chunk of white cotton plants seeds in your nostrils, you have no choice but to sneeze and feel like shit!ww

vince chase

Grrr!n Why is Entourage only 24 minutes long?!

Castaways - pants optional

This man sans pants caused a ruckus at Castaways...that's the ship looking thing on North Avenue Beach. Manho reckons that this dude was out for a run along the lake, stopped for a drink and never looked back.

P.S. I'm replused by the nipple ring. Some people get too into the whole ship theme.

banig...bitch

The Banig...a very useful thing to own in the summer time. Very
useful yesterday by Lake Michigan. Learn more about this at:

APD

You've got to love APD. When they're not busting Matthew David McConaughey or arresting Leslie, they're helping a fellow Texan up a driveway. I surreptitiously took this from my sister's living room. Please don't throw me in the slammer!

Memorial Day

Woohoo. I have an unexpected day off today. Too many nurses and too few kids. There is a chance that I wil have to go in at 3 but it's pretty slim. I've been busy the last few days with work. Haven't unpacked my bags from my Austin trip. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe I should just move back and not miss another chance to run around Town Lake. Joking.

Homey and I played tennis on Friday. We didn't play-play tennis. We hit balls. Had pretty lots of good rallys. No balls flew out of the court. A majority of balls ended up at the net...meaning they were low and in. Is my forearm supposed to be sore after 2 days? I can't pluck my eyebrows yet.

Texas

The Rage virus will have to actually put up a fight in America and in
Texas. We have guns. We have LOTS of guns.

scared

Watched 28 Weeks Later in my adopted home town of Austin, Texas. I
couldn't eat my fucking Alamo Drafthouse food because I was scared
within the first 5 minutes. Do I share the twin bed with my sister?
Or do you think I'll make it to the next morning without getting
infected with the Rage?

OZ Park

Had a wicked fun time on the tennis courts at OZ Park yesterday...Homey, Kimchi, Me and PL.  We've invented a game that doesn't have any lines to that "limit" the playing field, the ball can bounce any number of times as long as we have a rally going.  See us back next Friday.

Genious at Work

Thank you JAB Realty for the new mailbox key.  I'm sure I will get plenty of use out of it AFTER YOU FUCKING FIX MY MAILBOX.

The Abbey

If you ever go to the Abbey on Elston and Grace, be sure you have pre-arranged transportation back OR be sure you are hooking up with at member of the band. There are no cabs! We stood by White Castle waiting for a cab I called for...which NEVER came. Speaking of going home with someone....I have a new found respect for the mullet. It CAN be hot...if you're thrashing your head around while you rock out on your guitar. The lead singer and bass player of Tapes N Tapes are H-O-T. The show was great and they really have a good sound. I would definitely see them again and download some music from iTunes.

Ball bustin

The slight chill in the air didn't stop me and Homey from hitting the Diverey Driving Range today. I think we could have spent more time out swinging (and lots of missing) if it weren't so windy. 30 minutes, 50 balls each is pretty good for the first time in a long, long time. I hate golf but I love swinging and hitting.

On top of that, I'm a proud owner of a Prince Thriple Threat (TT) Scream. We're the next Williams' sisters. ...Ha! What can we endorse? Swatch and Timex Ironman watches.

Forever 29

I wonder what the sweat shops for Forever 21 looks like. Making knock offs for dozens of stores is busy work. So please excuse them for loose threads and the reality that the item won't make it past 2 trips to the washing machine.

Yous the Hoe

Ludacris!

It's ludacris that I like this song...Hoe's on the crack pop...There's
hoes in the room, hoes in the car...

$29?

Are they REALLY asking for $29? What a rip off. You might as well get the Bose In-ear Headphones for $99. I'm shocked the earphones that originally came with my iPod worked as long as they have thus far. The left ear is not producing sound. For a few seconds, I thought I was deaf in that ear. During the winter, it was so cold out that the flexy material of the headphones wouldn't bend while outside. Took as much time to defrost when back in doors as me.

The picture of the pickle looks disgusting. ...but it sounds good.
The starlette on classic Iron Chef would call it, "sweet and salty, at
the same time," and breakdown into "tee heee hee hee's".

Smart move to go to nursing school instead of culinary school! My sister totally gave me shit for only making adobo once and eating frozen vegetables.

Can we PLEASE just fire Wolfowitz?

That is a LONG flight!

Actually, I would love to be on a flight to see something like this. I'm sick. I know.

I'm sure the people in Kings Cross are pissed, costs are skyrocketing.

What to read, what to read

Read these:

If you like Grey's Anatomy, you'll probably care about this. It's bad for the image of women. It being the spin-off.

To my apt management company

Since you never got around to fixing my mailbox after my dozen of phone calls, I decided to fix it myself.
Please note, a deduction in my rent payment for the month of May. That is for my time fixing my own mailbox fuckers. The guy who is in charge managing my building looks like a date rapist.

Rodan

To the guy who walked out of the men's restroom last night with a rolled up news paper under his arm, Bravo I say to you. You've got big balls or irritable bowel syndrome. We laughed at you. Shitting is human; reading in the shitter is common. But come on, reading in the shitter when you're out trying to get with chicks? Um, it's not hot.

Shiver in May

I have to say that today was cold. Nothing unusual. It's Chicago. That's the way it is. I know in Houston and Austin, the folks have been wearing flip flops, etc for weeks now. Out pasty assess are just starting to shed the clothes. Anyway, we earned the sunshine and good weather.

I think this is what you do when you live with extreme temps...one talks about the weather.

I have heart burn. I had it before eating at Peace on North Ave tonight. I eat at Peace even if they are Rachael Ray fans. I hate her. EVOO? Fuck You. Shut up. It's a S-A-N-D-W-I-C-H.

(Actually, I am not pasty...1) I'm Filipino - we're not light 2) I experienced 2 out of the 3 lifetime total of sunburns in Sydney in January 3) My tan got touched up in Hawaii in March)...

Sounds painful.

"There's now a technique, for example, known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, in which sperm is injected directly into waiting eggs."

"Villiers, who was considered one of the most beautiful Royalist women of the era, became mistress to Charles in 1660 aged 20 even though she was married, and rose to wield immense power in the royal court. Villiers died in 1709 after suffering from dropsy, an intestinal disease now known as oedema."
Oedema is the same thing as edema.
