If you could be anyone else at Spent, who would you be? And, why?
Anon is on if you really feel like it.

Ahaha, okay, so. Living in my building is like walking into a soap opera. Even though my neighbors aren't Latino like Dave's, they're still awfully amusing.
At the start of the year, someone called the police in the middle of the night to interrupt this couple who constantly has really loud sex. And, it was amusing, because the police knocked on the wrong door and no one knew what was going on.
ANYWAY, the fact is, ever since that day, this couple has really loud sex with the windows open, just to piss off the guy who called the police. And, it's getting so bad that I have to cover Mew's ears, because he's so impressionable, poor kitty.
This is all amusing to me, but it was SUCH a bad fight yesterday in the tenants meeting. I never attend those things, but Mikhail is with his family- I had some free time and wanted to go see if they were still discussing how important it was to keep 8-year-olds out of the 5-year-old playground... thingies.
I'm glad I went. I definitely have new material for my column now. Lots of great possibilities for angry sex.

I want my mother.
Okay. Um. I know it's late, and I know this is sudden, and okay, it might be inappropriate, but I really don't have any family to fall back on, and I would normally ask this of them. I need to stop rambling.But is there anyone willing to let me crash on their couch for the night? Just a night, I swear, and then I'll find something, or maybe I'll get a hotel for a few days where I'll find the money, I have no idea. God, I'm so freaking out. I don't even-... Anyway, if anyone would be willing, it would really be helping me out a lot.
Thank you.
I'm sorry if I sound like a nutcase or something.

| ATTENTION - SPENTIE POST! - PLEASE READ |

Time for another post about the upcoming Spenties. I've pulled the awards from last year and listed them in this post. I've also added Lena's additions, since she's the ONLY ONE that has given a opinion on the categories.
( Awards from Last Year's Spenties )
( Possible New Additions )
So, the question is. Is everyone okay with this awards list? Nothing you want to take out/add? If I get the go ahead, I'll start setting things up. Lena (if she wants!) will help me do the tallying, and will automatically get the 'most helpful' award. No offense, guys.
OH. And don't suggest something like "Ugliest", because we want to keep the actual voting part positive. Plus, we all know that Tagg would automatically win and I don't want to force anyone to make a graphic award of his face.

Freedom.
And not just because I've been harassing my mother to go stay at a damn hotel for weeks now, but because the renovations to her new place are finally complete--after her changing her mind about every last detail half a dozen times and sending me on errands every time she did, of course--and she's gone. Well, not gone. She's still in Manhattan, unfortunately. But at least I have my apartment back. I spent most of last night trying to trash it back to it's natural state and then bought a case of beer and ordered in incredibly unhealthy food to celebrate, with no berating in the background. Nice.
Not that I really think any of you are all too interested in that. It's probably the reason why updating this thing is such a chore to me--I just assume that you all are about as interested in what I do outside of the office as I am in what most of you do in your free time. I could drivel on about what I had for breakfast this morning or how I was a little late for work because the taxi drivers in this city are idiots but, honestly, who the fuck cares? The only thing that's even remotely interesting, I'm not allowed to talk about, anyways.
Here, have another useless tidbit of information: My cubicle is still as empty as the day I started here, except for stuff I'm actually working on. Someone wandered into the Web Department the other day and pointed this out to me and it's been bothering me ever since. I'm supposed to stick up cutesy jokes and pictures of an ugly niece or nephew or both, right? Who wants to get on this? I have no motivation.
Classes start next week. I almost forgot.

Yesterday we had little Tony Jr.'s first birthday party, and I spent most of the evening either wiping cake off the little bugger's face, comforting my sister because her little boy is growing up so fast, or assuring my mother that I will get married and have kids before it's too late. It was a little kid birthday party, so you know it's more about the mom than it is about the kid, but my family's parties are always a pretty fun affair. But it is true - little Tony is growing up so fast. I almost can't even believe that it's been a whole year since he was born. Time really does fly.
I still feel full, though, from yesterday. I always eat too much when my mom's in charge of the cooking. I've got a ton of leftovers too, so I'm probably good for the rest of the week. I'll try and bring some stuff in for lunch tomorrow, if anybody's interested.

I spent the weekend in Washington D.C. at the annual family reunion. I'm originally from Georgia but my sister lives in DC which is a nice halfway point for those of us who have migrated north. It was entertaining as always, especially since my two-and-a-half-year-old niece has decided that a pirate's life is for her. It's always "me" instead of "my" and she'll randomly tack and "arg!" onto the end of sentences. She's also got this obsession with going to the doctor ever since one of her peers at daycare was diagnosed with pink eye. I don't know that there were ever any hypochondriac pirates but I do know that it was very amusing to walk into my sister's kitchen last night and see Sonali rolling around on the floor holding her stomach while groaning: "Me tummy, me tummy! I need me doctor!"
But as much as I enjoyed hanging out with my cousins and eating my mother's cooking, I'm glad to be back in my apartment again. It almost feels like when I returned from that company retreat a couple of months ago and I suppose it's a good thing because it's proof that New York is feeling more and more like home to me. It's kind of a nice feeling. Anyway I haven't done a single productive thing all weekend and as much as I love lounging around being a couch potato, I think a nice long walk with my newly-restored iPod will do me and my ass some good.

You know how you can hear a song and be in love with it from the first word and listen to it constantly and then one day you get to the point where you don't care if you never hear it again as long as you live? Yeah, that's how I feel about that Paper Planes song right now. Don't get me wrong, I've always loved MIA but I can't go five seconds without hearing that song on the radio or TV and if I hear it one more time I think I'm going to kill someone or something. Not really but you know.
Anyway in happier news, AMC has been kicking every other channel's ass this weekend. Case in point: when I left my apartment to take Oreo for a walk yesterday they were showing the original Planet of The Apes with everyone's favorite gun-lover, Charlton Heston. When I woke up this morning at 4am because I have insomnia like a mother lately they were showing The Day The Earth Stood Still and now they're showing Escape from the Planet of the Apes. It's like the best morning ever despite the fact that I should be doing laundry and preparing for the job interview I have tomorrow afternoon cleaning up around here. I considered starting one of those tasks during the commercial break but I think it's just too much effort. So if I stink at work tomorrow, I apologize in advance.

For the record, gay weddings are the best thing since oral sex and Project Runway. Though, I'm a little concerned with the fact that SanFran is nurturing my inner gay man. Anyway, I just wanted to let the ones who were concerned know that I survived O'Hare and made it safe and sound. I should wrap this up since Jack is giving me the evil eye. Or maybe that's his 'come save me' look. I can't really tell.
PS: Mike, you were awesome last night. Just, don't quit your day job. I'd miss you.
