Some clever phrase about whining

Four days ago I was praising myself for my fiscal diligence! I had managed to get my credit card spending to under a grand a month and I did a little dance in the street.

And then…OY. I’m already at $1500 and THERE’S ONLY BEEN FOUR DAYS IN NOVEMBER!

I am out of control

Someone tell me no. Firmly and in a way that I will listen.

Last night Astin, Em and Chinese Pete took perverse joy in informing me that George Washington, Rosa Parks, Neil Armstong, Bill Gates and Serena Williams were all Canadian.

Yeah.

I KNOW.

What the fuck is the NBA Summer League and why did I just watch 11 minutes of it?

Bumped into a pregnant woman on the platform and I felt so bad…but, dude, why are they just allowed to roam around like that? I mean, maybe it’s cool out West, but in crowded cities it gets dangerous! Can’t they be put on a farm or something upstate…for their own protection, not because they creep me out.

Yes, you should think about the moral aspects of homosexuality. Choosing to divorce and embrace your same sex attraction is something that is definitely between you and God. Cause you know who it really shouldnt be between? You and me. Thanks!

Hippie: You live in Brooklyn?! You really should join the food co-op! It’s a great to support environ -
Me: – Let me stop you right there. I drive to the bodega around the corner to buy candy.

Is it great vine or grape vine?

Babies are great! Baby vomit, less great. Less.

They are called feelings not sayings for a reason.

Dear “Senior litigation legal assistant,”

I realize that ordering meals for us is your one time to really shine. To show the powers that be how wonderfully creative and whimsical you can be. I shrugged when you ordered bagels on Sunday morning and then got an assortment of cream cheeses which included chipotle, guava, sundried tomato and squash. I don’t eat cream cheese, so who cared. I was similarly nonchalant about your bizarre Thai food choices (no pad thai? Really?) because all that stuff was likely lathered in Dawn killing peanut oil; plus, I was face deep in the watermelon I brought from home.

But when it is your job to order *pizza* IN NEW YORK and you get some flatbread crap covered in sauce and WHATEVER the hell that was (brisket? Pork? Sheep guts?) that is when you have crossed the line, missy. Do what you will with pizza, but you best damn make sure you get one pie that is PLAIN and one pie that is PEPPERONI. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???

Sincerely,

Dawn Summers

You know you’re rich when you can afford to pay insurance for a new luxury vehicle AND the car you traded in three weeks ago.

I am not rich.

Can someone please tell Geico? They evidently did not get the memo and now I have -714 dollars in my checking.

Grrr.

Not so random life lesson

You can order shrimp from a sketchy Chinese restaurant. You can eat that shrimp and then proclaim victory five hours later because you didn’t get sick at all.
However.
You cannot return to the cafeteria refrigerator, where you stored the leftover of said shrimp, two days later and eat the remainder of the sketchy Chinese restaurant meal.
Well, you can.
But then you will learn, first hand, a lesson that I am graciously attempting to impart to you without the sweat, vomit and stomach ache.

Stupid pizza lady.

Because New York politics isn’t wacky enough

Dissident Democrats switch sides to hand GOP control of state Senate.

Democratic leaders were caught off guard as the Republicans and the two Democratic dissidents, Pedro Espada Jr. of the Bronx and Hiram Monserrate of Queens, moved to topple them, and at one point became so flustered that they turned out the lights in the Senate chamber to try to prevent Republicans from installing new leaders.

Asked by a reporter what was occurring, Senator Malcolm A. Smith, leader of the Senate Democrats who was huddled in the hall with his staff, responded, â€œIâ€™m trying to find out right now.â€

Really, dudes? Not enough we had our Governor hiring hookers and being forced to resign while trying to avoid indictment? Or that he got replaced by a BLACK GUY THAT NOBODY SAW COMING — (insert he didn’t even see himself BECAUSE HE’S BLIND! Joke)? OR THAT THE STATE IS ONE value meal away from bankruptcy and the Mayor of New York is trying to seize power forever, oh NO, that’s not enough for you turd rockets, you’ve got to switch parties in the middle of a vote, so now we have TWO house majority leaders and will have to revote on every piece of legislation that has gone through in the last month?

Morons. Why do we let Queens and Bronx even have representation in the Senate? Their only claims to fame are that they are better than Staten Island, like that’s even hard to do.

“McCafay” lattes should be called “McCrapay” lattes.
They taste bad, are only 19 cents cheaper than Starbucks, don’t come with the nifty cup sleeve and have this weird spout thingie covering the drink hole making it impossible for you to drink out of the drink hole, and COME ON it’s a DRINK HOLE.
So then you’ve all got to figure out that you need to pop the spout back (not push it in) and then you press it down in a groove on the lid and there’s your drink hole. But it’s 6 a.m. and you’re tired and still skeptical, so you just take the whole lid off and discover THEY ONLY FILL THE CUP 3/4 of the way! Making it MORE EXPENSIVE, per fluid ounce*, than the better tasting, sleeved, regular drink hole Starbucks latte.

Brand new Clareified feature…seriously, got to get the drudge red and blue alarms code, cause this is BIG.

You know what’s not awesome? Going to the gym with Jake and bringing everything you’ll need to shower and change your clothes at the gym, only to get there and realize that you managed to pack everything…except pants.
