The delivery gods hate me tonight. All afternoon I was thinking about the delicious burrito I was going to eat for dinner. Called to order it, except their delivery guy is MIA and they can't bring it to me. Grrrrr. Settle on another place.. in my town. However, I live on the the edge of town and apparantly, I live near the intersection of Manhattan and 16th, and they only go as far as Manhattan and 17th. You've.got.to.be.kidding. The guy on the phone was like - well do you have a friend that lives on 17th? We can delivery it to them and you can come pick it up? Or.... you could just drive an extra block and I'll tip you? Hmm?? Denied.
On to the next place... let's hope I have more luck this time.

Interweb
I'm an idiot.
I met this guy last night and we talked forever and exchanged cards. And then he says "I'll call you?" And my immediate reaction in my head was eekphonecallthatsoundslikealotofpressure, and out of my mouth came, "Or you could e-mail me?" He laughed at my decision and questioned it --- I meet a boy in real life, who wants to continue talking in real life and I say no, no silly, let's head to the Internet, where I feel safe. Where I can carefully plan out smart, clever things to say to you. Lame.
At any rate, he said sure I'll e-mail you, and I replied, or you could call, I mean whichever...
I'd settle for whichever.

CBS and Miss USA
I'm not a huge fan of Katie Couric, but this is ridiculous.

Miss USA says she'd like to be in journalism someday. "I always wanted to be a reporter — maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news — but some modeling, too," she said. "I just don't want to end up like Katie Couric. I want people to take me seriously."
Yes, I'm sure your Miss USA crown and modeling on the side will help people take you seriously. Well, maybe that's low of me. But I'm just not sure she's 'serious reporter' material. After she won the crown: "I was wearing, like, a hot pink Rocawear sweatsuit and paraded around my room at the Waldorf, just dancing with my crown!" she said. Like, she may totally be able to do it.

The Devil in Every Fan
I still think Belicheck is a dirty, dirty cheater and that their numerous superbowls are now less-than special ---- but this article makes a very good point, that I can't quite disagree with.
Fans don't really care how their teams win. ... That's the dirty little secret about sports fans. We're basically amoral.

An LJ pal had this posted, and I thought hmmmmmmm, yep that's about right.
ARIES- The Irresistible One (3/21-4/19) Nice Love is one of a kind. Great listeners. Very Good in bed... Lover not a fighter, but will still knock you out. Trustworthy. Always happy. Loud. Talkative. Outgoing VERY FORGIVING. Loves to make out. Has a beautiful smile. Generous. Strong. THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE. 9 years of bad luck if you do not repost.
Believe in this stuff? I'm just not sure.

Signs
So I had kind of a late night tonight. Went out to dinner, took the PATH and then a cab home. And in Hoboken we share cabs, we're all friends - you know.
So I get in this cab, and I zone out. I'm wiped out. The guy I'm riding with gets out.
Andddddd the cabby looks and me and says 'what the hell? i thought you guys knew each other?'
me: ex-squeeze me?
cabby: that guy was like yeah, drive her home, so i picked you up.
me: i ... don't think i knew him?
now, i didn't really look at him too close. which is odd, i'm usually a friendly pal. But this cabby was pissed b/c we lived no where near each other. And I was confused as to why this person would make this gesture.
So now, I should mention that I have a few signs on my head. The most obvious one is 'ask me directions' ... hint, hint america - I don't know where I'm going. The other one is 'tell me awkward things about your life.' and the last one is 'give me relationship advice. '
well you should've talked to him. girl like you - he was probably scared. you should've made a move.
lkjsdfkjslkdf. i'm sorry dear cabbie, i thought i was just getting a ride home. i didn't realize i had to have my game on.
it's just amusing because an hour earlier I was at Perilla and some guy said "why are you single?" why does everyone want to weigh in on my personal life? is it that awful to be a single person? why do so many people want to 'fix' and 'advise' me?
Well, no, it's fine. maybe I do need assitance. I just wish it wasn't so obvious to everyone I meet. And what I'd really like to know is whooo was the mystery boy in the cab? Why am I oblivious at all the wrong moments!

Baseball
There's a headline on ESPN right now: "Will Boston be able to complete their collapse?"
Not.. Can they hold onto the lead? Will New York make a comeback? But the truly optimistic "Can they live up to our expectations of a true Red Sox team and throw away a whole season of work? Are they up to the task?
Love it.
And yes, they will definitely be able to do it.

AH! Even better.
Two of my favorite things. How I Met Your Mother + Les Miserables.

This is almost painful to watch. I'm not sure what part is worse, Corey Feldman's dancing, or his singing. It's a good thing he's turned his career toward reality TV, oh wait -- that's pretty much impossible to watch too.

On a much more serious note
My grandfather passed away yesterday. I got the call from my dad around 10. It really hit me pretty hard, as in I was standing when I got the call, but was on the floor when I hung up. My legs just quit.
He was older, and ill. But it wasn't exactly, expected, ya know? I had just visited them last weekend and we had lunch. And my grandmother and him and had just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
My mother told me to 'go to work.' So I did. And I'm going to tomorrow. 'Luckily' or something, one of our tech guys cleared out the email server for our handicap service server and my email box got filled with. -no joke- 4,000 + emails. Deleting them all day really took my mind of things.
I know it will hit me when I go down to Trenton and see my family and realize he's not going to be there anymore, but for now I'm just trying to push those thoughts away.

Gimme, Gimme, More, More
I've been very neglectful, but in short, here are some feelings I've been having lately.
- Britney. I felt really perturbed that everyone was calling her fat, but she def chose the wrong outfit. MTV pretty much set her up for failure, though. All her previous performances were so large, and they touted it so much - when her present state of life has been a complete mess. How could they not expect a let down? I had a long discussion today about the parallels between Madonna and Brit. This person felt they were the same, but I just don't think Madonna ever hit these levels of patheticness and trash-tasticness.
- Tim Gunn's Guide to Style = Awesome
- My DVR = Still Broken
- Bill Belichick. Wow. First he has a girlfriend on the side in Jersey and now he's a cheater. He gave off such an illusion of this cuddley, good-natured teddy bear with his gray hoodie wearing, family man ways. This is definitely going to be a stain on their 'dynasty.' Wonder how C. Levine is dealing w/ the drama? 'head of classless' v. clever SI
- I think CJ is going to be kicked off Top Chef tonight and I'm pretty sad about it. Does anyone watch this show but me?
- So long sweet summer. Last weekend was the first weekend I was actually home and not at the shore/somewhere else. Going to miss the beach. Luckily fall weather is awesome.
- CJ just got kicked off Top Chef. I'm really not happy. Why couldn't it be Hung?
Grrrrrrrrr.

So basically the worst thing ever has happened.
I turned on my TV, hit DVR to watch everything I've missed this week and saw this:
UNRECOVEABLE WRITE ERROR
what.does.that.even.mean.

Yankees, Chesney, etc.
I've got to imagine that it's fairly exhausting to not be a Yankees fan. People invest so much energy into hating the team.
I was at a Kenny Chesney concert this weekend, exiting, singing about the keg in my closet, when some Red Sox-cap-wearing concert-goers started a "Yankees Suck!" cheer. What gives!? Granted I was in Hartford, which is considered "the line" for baseball fans, so there was a mix of sox and yanks enthusiasts. But we're at a totally unrelated event, the Yankees and Red Sox aren't even playing each other, nor is there any real contest for the division going on right now. Yet you are so consumed with your distate for the pinstripes you feel the need to proclaim it in every venue you enter?
I've just never felt that much dislike for a team.
Well actually, I should take that back immediately. I do have that much hatred for Maine. But I still would never shout it out at a country music fesitval.
