Wednesday is Humpus Day

[Marley Magaziner]

I can't believe I waited until now to make the Wednesday/Humpus Day joke.  Well, there you have it.

so i was kinda manic today and this Humpus is kind of manic and scattered but whatevsies.  I played around on the internet this morning even though I dont remember what I was doing... probs looking at food blogs b/c that's what I do.  I need to redesign my blog...which has mostly turned into food blog with some pop culture+crafty shit thrown in there.  I need to fix up my blog to be all purty n shit.  Who do you know who'll work for dinners and snacks and cocktails? I dont have a lot of cash but I have food skillz to trade... or other skillz.

We're apt hunting. I looked at an apt tonight. Eeeee. It's nice but at the very top of our price range and it's not perfect...if we're going to pay that much it has to be perfect. And preferably in Greenpoint because my neighborhood is the JAM.  This place is in Carroll Gardens.  If you or someone you know is looking for a 1 bedroom+ office space, lemmie know I'll hook you up.  Or like, I guess we could try to move to Manhattan but that's just crazytalk, right?  If any of you all hear of an affordable 1 bedroom that might have room for an office...hit me up.

I talked to an ex after viewing the apt and he was saying moving in thing was a little soon.  I disagree.  This ex and I had a fling, that was it.  Our level of intimacy was a 4.  I'm operating at a 9 now. And I'm not going back.  I think the ex is just jealous because he moved to LA and I moved on. 

I'm also job hunting b/c my job is seriously boring.  Academic publishing=lame.  I'm trying to pick up some freelance thingers and make my own projects that are fun and new and challenging... like designing the word brooklyn window display using planters made from books.  An experiment.  If you have thoughts on how to make books into planters, or if you have hard cover books to donate to this experiment, or suggestions on what kinds of plants to use... hit me up.

Ummmm last night I set up 2 friends on a date that went well.  My friend was so smooth getting the guy to come back to her house...she lured him into her neighborhood with the promise of fried pickles, then when it when they'd had their fill, he asked how to get home from there.  She said, I'll call a car service but my phone is dead so why dont you come back to my place so I can charge it... and then...and then... muahahaha.  As far as I know it was just making out+cuddling but whatever that is SMOOTH!  Ladies, take note, that is how you get a boy back to your place without him thinking you're bein all slutty or whatevers.

I was way hung over this morning but had juice and then had a manic day which led me to conclude that my boyfriend put drugs in the OJ.  He admitted it.  But he's lying. I think. 

Crapples I have so much I need to do/write and I keep drinking too much to do it after work.  Maybe tomorrow.  Today's small victory at work was that I didn't need to cancel an ebook.  Phew.

I told you I was scattered today!  Manic=wheeee.

stuff on the internet

salem! comments on the band without the mythos: http://ow.ly/1qvV5 I kinda agree that the band needs a back story to make them interesting.  But as Soldout writer Kristin (@baronetess) pointed out, who puts those kids on stage at 3 pm? Srsly.

march madness we can all care about: Cake Versus Pie.  http://jezebel.com/5496714/march-madness-the-cake-vs-pie-tournament

At first glace, I'm saying Red Velvet Cake versus Apple Pie...and I think Apple will win, that is, it will TAKE THE CAKE! PUNS!

I have to take a solid look at the bracket... But really, what beats apple pie? WHAT? NOTHING! Apple pie is america and america wins at everything.  Unless there' a drug/middle East/vientam/accessible healthcare cake because we haven't so much won in those areas...

Other places where food competes on the internet, FOOD BLOG AWARDS: http://www.saveur.com/contest_bow.jsp?ID=1000011135&main=yes

And where man competes with food in a show that could only happen in America (or maybe Japan): http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Man_V_Food  That shit is good. How is that guy not 400 pounds?  I yell at the tv during this show like some people yell during "the game"..."you can't eat that!" or, "come on, put it in your mouth!"  As the boyfriend and I watch this we have both realized that there are many things that one can say in a food program that can also be said during a porno.  "I dont know how I'm going to fit all of that juicy goodness in my mouth," for example.

And with that, I leave you.
