Irresponsible choices lead to shiny new toys

Today was a beautiful sunny day and I feel like I am slowly emerging from my winter funk, and that is all in large part of the shiny, highly impractical device I just got, the iPad.

I spent a lot of money on something I absolutely don't need, but I love it. I think doing something I know I may regret later is just what I needed. I can't believe it's only been two days since I got one and have not been able to put it down. My nights have been filled with apps, crazy birds and words with friends.

Here's a picture I drew with one of the apps I downloaded.





This is a sketch of one of my favorite celebs, James Franco. I know, you already knew that just by looking at the sketch.

two a.m. tetris on the mind

It's past two in the morning and I am wide awake. This is a photo of this really old digital clock my dad gave me years ago he got from a hotel. My dad used to work at a hotel and when the hotel got rid of their old appliances employees could take them. My t.v. in my room is also a free hotel t.v. That thing is so old it doesn't even use a remote, but it doesn't have knobs, instead you push buttons to change the channels. I dont ever turn it on anymore because it makes me sad when I see that it is finally starting to die.

My mind is wrestless and I have no idea why. Earlier I fell asleep on the couch watching t.v., woke up not sleepy at all. So, I then facebook stalk whoever I can or want to, even facebook chat whoever would talk to me... taking whatever action I can get. Now, here I am in bed dropping colored blocks into the right place in my mind because I have played so much tetris today.

If I could tell you what it's like in my head right now, it would go something like this:

"Body is tired. Need sleep. What do i do for my thesis? Did i blow out that candle downstairs? I think I ate too much today. Ugh. I feel and look gross. When was my last mammogram again? I should do a self examination. What if i have cancer. What should i wear tomorrow? Do i really want to wear what i already picked out? I hope all my friends and family are well, safe and happy. I need a massage. Tetris."

I need a vacation.

BORED.

I've heard about cases of  "winter depression" and lately, I think I may have some light form of it. I'm not sure if winter is causing it or if the season is just coincidental. Do you ever feel like you are bored with your life even if you do not have any good reason to be bored or unhappy with it? Well, I am bored. Bored at work and bored with my life. I should probably be excited about the new year and all of it's possibilities, but really I am tired of the "sameness." You know the routine. Wake up in the morning, drive the same route to work every morning, sit in front of a computer, then go home, think about what to have for dinner and what's on t.v., then spend more time in front of the computer, go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow.

I really have nothing to complain about. My life is great. I have wonderful people in my life and I'm grateful to have a job. Anyway, the weather will get warmer, summer music concerts will start again and all will be well. 

Wouldn't it be awesome if life were like a James Taylor/Carole King song, you know the one about going up on the roof when you get home from work tired and beat... and up on the roof your cares and troubles float out into space -- or something like that. Well, if I were to go up onto my roof, I'd be sitting in Pigeon sh*t and I'd be freezing. So, in the meantime, I guess there's shopping, chocolate, wine, beer and drowning myself in countless hours of t.v. and movies. So, by the end of winter, my ass will be much larger and I will be broke.. hmm.. on second thought, maybe I need to find other things to hold me over until summer. Any ideas?

New Year, New Foods to Try #1: Beer Float

That's right. That my friends is a beer float. Allagash Black with a scoop of Gunther's Vanilla Ice Cream to be exact. It was delish, especially when you mix it all together and it turns into a type of beer shake.

The "facebook" photo

I was going to blog about 2011, resolutions, how great 2011 was and all that crap but tonight, I am going to talk about one of my favorites topics, Facebook.

We all like to share the occassional photo here and there. If you're like me, you love taking photos and writing captions for them. Every now and then, you'll come accross the "myspace style" photo that you take of yourself by extending your arms. We've all done it. Yes, I'm sure evn YOU have done it. However, I apparently have been doing them wrong. I guess the perfect "myspace-style" photo is one taken as if a person were standing on a step over you so you are looking up. Yes, that is what I have been told and that it's "hot." So, of course with my desire of wanting to be the "hot girl," I tried this new method of self-photography when I got home (after I slipped into my pjs and hoodie of course).

Here is the result:

Sadly, I took this photo about ten times until I got the one where I don't looke like I'm having a seizure.

So, what's your favorite pose for when you do self-photography?
