avoiding it.

By it I mean work. I am avoiding going back to my desk, to my cube, to staring. at. the. computer.
I am just going to sit here, blog and drink my coffee while I soak up some sun. I am sitting on a patio located in an alley. Strange right? It's actually kind of nice.

A guy just sat next to me. He's a good looking guy. Dark hair pretty eyes. He's reading a book.

I just asked him what he was reading and I think he said James Wallace and he added that he has been reading a lot of Hunter S. Thompson. If this were a movie, we'd chat a bit longer, talk about our love for HST and gourmet, fair trade coffee.

Unfortunately, I live in the real world. I can't stay long and he's probably got a girlfriend or he's gay.

Sigh, back to work.

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?

testing out a new app.

I just downloaded blogger droid for my phone. I have not been able to find a good app for mobile blogging. This one seems to be good because I am able post photos.

I'm excited. I think I have only scratched the surface of my phone's potential.

Never volunteer to do something yourself, when you can get someone else to do it for you

Call it karma, the one time I decide to be responsible for myself and take my car in to get serviced, turns out to be one of those "big services." Here I am, two hours have passed and one more to go. I usually manipulate my dad or brother into taking my car in for me, but today, I thought I'd feel like an independent woman by taking care of my own business. Well, it turns out independence has a price.

I have a checklist of things to do and when I think about it, I am overwhelmed, especially when I think about all the stuff I have to do for school.  Three semesters of putting things off is all catching up with me this semester. For a majority of my time in graduate school I have made it so I don't have to sacrifice any of my fun time, and now I think I may have to compromise, however the great about me is that I am stubborn and determined to keep things the way they are.

Anyway, some of the important things on my list (besides homework) are, catching up on dexter, sending out invitations for my sis-in-law's baby shower (lesson here is never volunteer even if you think it is an easy task. it never is that simple), clean bathrooms and work on my bike, and... probably catch up more on movies and shows.

The most likely outcome for this weekend will be that I end up watching a marathon of ridiculously awesome movies on SyFy as I attempt to clean unsuccessfully.
