jicyc : tennessee basketball

just in case you care, the vols managed to blow the SEC championship game today. i would say this is typical, but i watched the end of the game, and they got screwed 4 realz.

consequently, they've secured a no. 9 seed in the ncaa tournament. and don't get me wrong, i will pick tennessee to win every single game if anyone asks me to fill out any brackets.

in other news, the penn state nittany kitties did NOT make the tournament. just saying.

it's payday!

just a reminder to all you unemployeds out there, sunday also means payday. so remember to make your claims!

what is JAZZY doing?

you know, joel's mom isn't the only one with a dog. my mom has a dog, too. her name is JaZzY, and sometimes she does funny things...

for example (Jan is my mom) :
Jan: i got the doggie brush out of the drawer about an hour ago...Jazzy took one look and bolted. Haven't seen her since.

sunday funday : tunnel tour

ever since i learned of it's existence, i've been obsessed with the atlantic avenue tunnel. its the world's oldest subway tunnel, it is literally right below our apartment, and its open to tour about once a month. today, gabe, rob, john, and i (in the absence of one very important tunnel-fanatic) finally realized our dream of seeing the inside of the infamous tunnel.



here's a direct link to web album.

What is kismet doing?

answer: kismet just got in trouble for eating mommy's slipper. does he look repentant?

whats for lunch?????

near the end of atlantic avenue, there's a pretty weird restaurant. i don't know if you can even call it a restaurant. n-e-wayz, gabe, rob, and i had lunch there today before our highly anticipated tunnel tour. it's called the moxie spot, and apparently it's for children...

you can tell by the child-sized door within the adult door. there's also a puppy-and-kitty door.

you can also tell by the ridiculous decor.

but it's cheap and has unlimited fountain diet coke, a rarity in NYC.

lunch:
two bacon egg and cheese sandwiches
one cheeseburger
pigs-in-a-blanket
french fries
onion rings
homemade potato chips
all the DC and regular C we could drink!

avocado abuse.

goodness gracious.

speaking of unemployment...

this is by far the best way to spend your unemployment moneyz from the government.

tiny little ipod shuffle

just got around to reading about the new ipod shuffle...ridic.

"If you hold down the center clicker for one second, you hear, in your earbuds, a crystal-clear male voice identifying the song and the performer; it knows 14 languages, so it can handle Italian aria names, for example. If you hold down the clicker longer, until you hear a beep, the voice starts rattling off the names of your playlists (“Jogging Tunes…Purchased…Makeout Music.”) You click the clicker when he gets to the one you want, or use the + and – buttons to go forward or back through them."

next unemployment venture?

SAN FRANCISCO — Alex Andon, 24, a graduate of Duke University in biology, was laid off from a biotech company last May. For months he sought new work. Then, frustrated with the hunt, he turned to jellyfish.

What is kismet doing?

this is what it looked like for kismet's first bath. can you believe it?

what is kismet doing?

ZOMG. i have been waiting for this post all week. its the bAtH dAy PoSt!!!!!

mom says kismet gets a bath at least once a week, but i missed the last one, so i made sure to get up early to document what kismet was doing during bathtime, so here goes.

note: no kismets were harmed during this bath

ANTICIPATION

i asked mom if she thought he knew what was about to happen. she said, "oh he knows... as soon as the bathroom door closes, he knows."

RINSE

just getting started

LATHER

he doesnt like to be on all fours in the water for some reason so he jumps up and holds hands with my mom

COMFORT

he doesnt exactly try to escape, but he does reach a point where he decides, "ok ive had enough of this embarassment"

DRY UP

he has this look in his eyes like, "what did i do to deserve this"

BLOW DRY

he wandered around doing the shakes while my mom chased him with a hair dryer

RELAX

so he is pretty dry at this point, just enjoying the breeze from the hair dryer

STYLE

mom is brushing him, kismet is pulling on this ribbon. i think he is resistant to the styling

POSE

the ribbon was my moms idea. she said, "lets take him somewhere pretty"

so there you have it. now he smells like lavendar until the next time he goes outside and rolls around in the dirt again.

i woke up with this song in my head.

i thought i told you to shut uh-uh-uuuup.

even more pop princess news!

this video is from britney's show in tampa this week. when the lights go down, she thinks her mic is off, and you can clearly hear her say "my p**** is hanging out!"
