Extended weekends
Today is the last Friday I will work until September.
New schedule around here rolls as so: 8-5, Monday-Thursday.
Lucky ducky.
WatchOn Saturday night I found a mini scooter in a dumpster outside of Pacifico. We spent the night scooting around. This video is taken outside of 4th Avenue Pub, staring Nora (who mastered the art of scootering fast and turning) and Clark (who is extremely awkward and didn’t master much).
CHERRY GOT A BLOG! →
And the winner is...
ME! Remember this?
Well, yesterday I noticed a flyer downstairs warning everyone in the building that there would be a fire drill sometime between 9-12pm today. Like, aren’t fire drills supposed to be at random? Anyways, this morning two men came up to also verbally warn us that there would be a fire drill between 9-12pm.
Then one goes: MARY CLARE, WHERE IS MARY CLARE?
Obviously I knew...

Kristine: i hope treston hides a ring in my chicken fingers or miller lite or something like that.
XO XO Gossip Girl
Last night Cheryl and I went to a party at The Whitney to celebrate the opening of the Buckminster Fuller exhibit. We really enjoyed it because we felt like we were in an episode of Gossip Girl. There were a lot of the following: diamond rings, boat shoes, lesbians dancing in circles. There was also a man with an eye patch that was 80 years old. Cheryl went up to him and said: You really wear that...

Clogged
On Tuesday, Kayla and I awoke to a completely clogged bathtub. No movements whatsoever. We bought Draino and it didn’t un-drain, so we were forced to turn to the landlords who confirmed that a plumber would be over Friday morning.
I haven’t showered since Tuesday. I did give myself a sponge bath which I will never do again. I didn’t get all the soap off me, so I itched all day...

This hurts my heart and makes me want to quit my job to be a life coach.

Email from Cheryl this morning:
Subject: Britney’s New Song Have you heard it? Piece of Me…
Well maybe it’s not that new, but it’s new for me.
And I heart it. Listened to it ON REPEAT this morning on the way to work. I think it was over and over about 10 times in total.
Britney will do that to you, Cher.
NOTE: This album was released on October 30, 2007.

Afternoon delight
I just took a stroll to Barnes & Noble to purchase this book for some research I’m doing at work. Of course, I couldn’t help but wander around the Greenmarket for a bit. I bought a vegan coconut chocolate chip cookie the size of my head. Delicious. Then, while rounding the corner back to work, I thought I had spotted a celebrity/someone I knew at the corner pizza joint chowing on a...
Stuffed
Sometimes they set up tables filled with mini foods downstairs. Things like crab cake balls, deep dish pizzas, coconut chicken, stuffed shrooms, canoli’s, etc.
I just sat downstairs next to the table and ate plastic plate(s) stacked with goodies with my coworker. Afterwards, while climbing up the stairs, we had a conversation that went something like this:
Me: I don’t think I can...
I'm LOLing
Last night I went to Carolines with Roshelle. She’s taking stand up classes there and performs in July, so we went to observe and also brainstorm for material. The show was comprised of a bunch of new comedians. Some were funny, some were not. All in all, I laughed a lot. Especially at the man who talked about how his wife farts in her sleep and one night he thought it was a gunshot.

In between drinking the rainy day away at the village pourhouse and waiting for nora to take us to an us weekly party, mc and I decided to make a pit stop at my apartment so I could change. After picking up some Italian pastries we decided we needed a couple 40s to wash it all down. But on our way to my local bodega, we passed a karaoke bar. Of course we had to go in. We started off...
I'M GOING TO...
mollymoker:
July 23 to 28. Be there or be square. and whats more, m-siz and i got on the same flight and will be celebrating her birthday there. Looks like i would fly cross country for this girl :)
YES, it’s true. I’m heading back to the homeland conveniently over my 24th birthday. Not only are Molly and I flying together, but Lil is coming from San Fran, too. I CAN’T WAIT.
“Dad says to tell you this water is from MUFASA.”
– On the phone with baby sister Evelyn just now discussing a hilarious video of her posted on Facebook. She was shopping with my dad at Byerly’s. I asked her what dad’s comment meant, and she had no idea.
“Happiness is every human being’s birthright.”
– My Yogi Tea bag this morning.
Brilliant.
Kristine: i think we should get webcams and put them next to our beds so when i wake up i can roll over and say good morning to you
“You know Joe, right? The fat dude. He’s fat, he’s chubby and he sits...”
– Overheard from my desk. Not sure who Joe is. I hope “Joe” isn’t code for “Mary Clare”.
“I ate meat on a stick. It was wonderful.”
– Big sister while telling me about the Haight Street fair today.
And I'm off...
…to run through the streets and rejoice. It’s finally the weekend! Thank you, weekend, I’ve needed you so badly!
Today, besides rejoicing:
Stopping at Urban for a mini fix, returning an ugly shirt/dress at H&M that I thought would be cute but looks too much like my shameful walk-of-shame Halloween costume, grabbing a bottle bottles of wine at Trader Joes, walking to...
XO
28 years ago today, my parents were married.
My mom is in Italy right now, so I was only able to chat with my dad this morning. I asked how they were celebrating. He said that at 12pm his time and 6pm her time, they were going to both sit down and enjoy a brie sandwich and think of one another.
My parents are unbelievable. The best out there, and that’s no lie. I’m truly one lucky...
I speak only the truth
I usually stare at people on the train (but I look away when they notice). Today I stared at a tiny, old Asian man’s pants. Why? Because tucked into the front pocket of his dirty, faded black jeans, were a pair of shiny pink panties.
Highlights of my day: June 4, 2008
It’s gloomy outside. This morning I wore flip flops and forgot an umbrella so I got slimy feet and misty-rained on during the walking outside part of my commute.
It’s been pretty gloomy inside, too. Thought I would share the three highlights of my day:
1) Discovering that a photo of me and Molly from an event we attended last night for bobi & Keep a Child Alive is live on the...
“I was pouring out shots last night. You know, when you pretend to take the shot...”
– Phone call from Lilly this morning.
Dried fruit dreams
I recently discovered that my cell phone has a much calmer alarm clock ring than my alarm clock radio, so I’ve been using that to wake me for the past few weeks. No longer do I awake in a panic, nervous state, quick to slam my tired hand on the off button. But, of course, due to the heat wave in good ol’ 25-06 Apt #2, I haven’t been able to fall asleep the moment my head hits the...
