On the TV right now: Jerry Springer - My Girlfriend Is A Pimp. [sigh] it's either this trash, or Star Trek, or infomercials. I've had a long, stressful day. why not watch these people make fools of themselves and beat each other up, to feel better about my life.

I'm not sure why I'm up. I woke up around 8am, had class at 11am, worked on a project, went to work from 4pm-1030pm, then went to SUPERDOPE! until 1230am. i should be knocked OUT. and the chicken i just had from Crown, isn't sitting too well with my stomach. oh by the way, i'm eating chicken again. i know Crown isn't the best place to go for quality food, but nothing else is open at this time of night.

ill post the pics soon. im too tired right now

Launch Party

Last night was the first Friday night in a longggggg time that I didn't work. I requested off because The Liberator Magazine had a launch party for its Philly Style Issue. I did the fashion shots, including the cover photo, for this issue. I was ecstatic. This is the first time my work has been published in print outside of a school publication. And the first time my work has been blown up and displayed. Afterwards we went to MINT in Old City for a friend's friend's birthday party. It wasn't anything amazing, but it felt good to just be out and relaxing for once instead of working.

I hope the restaurant isn't too crazy tonight. A lot of people are coming out for Valentine's Day tonight even though it's actually tomorrow. I'll be working a double shift tomorrow, but I'm excited to see what C got me. I'm not big on the whole capitalist, over-hyped, made-up, holiday, but I do like it when he's romantic.




current obsession: Adele

Sade

I'm unfortunately watching 106th & Park. C has it on because Sade is performing and he is obsessed with her. The last time I watched this show, I must've been about 14. I'm surprised they even have Sade on the show. The songs that these kids listen to today are so sad. I know I'm only 23, and I sound like an old lady saying that. I guess I just developed an appreciation for real music at a young age.

Scranton WHAT?!!

Why I LOVE The Office

Baby I Got Your Money

For some reason, the guy who lives below me LOVES to blast his music really loud. i love music, and im all about crankin up the tunes and rockin out every now and then. But he takes it to the extreme. I mean, i can feel the vibrations through the floor. Today he decided to play "I Got Your Money" by ODB, and I couldn't help but laugh. So i googled it, cuz i couldn't think of the title, and came upon some covers of it on YouTube. This was too funny not to share:

Listen to the entire thing. it gets funnier as it goes along, especially the talking at the end.


Then i watched the original, and it's so ridiculous, i had to post it too:

back

it's been 3 months. let's see, let's see, what's happened. i started a new job, and so far, so good. basically, i've just been working a lot. and trying to cherish what little time i have left before classes start. i spent Christmas in Boston of course and wish that i could've stayed longer. but it's ok i was there for the past few days, and i'm on my way back to Philly right now :/

i had to work new years eve and new years day, which sucked, but that's the industry.

my new years resolutions: take better care of myself (less junk food, more exercising), be more focused on my career goals (manage my time, seek more opportunities for growth), love and support C in every way possible.

right now im reading Lost in the City by Edward P. Jones, my favorite author! C got it for me for Christmas and i'm excited because i've read his other 2 books and i've been dying to read this one for a longggg time. im almost done with it.
