washington, d.c.

Richard's mom brought this back from Washington, D.C. recently. It's weird to think about it, but I used to live in Washington, D.C. when I was a child. Well, a newborn. We left for Texas when I was about 8 months. Aside from that, I've only been once. And it was for about a day and a half. We ventured past the hot spots (White House, Capitol Building, The Mall, etc.) but we didn't stop. I still don't know the exact reason for this. I guess it was a hassle... but it was... interesting. Not educational, but interesting.

you good for sex?

Today, as I was driving (fluctuating between about 10-30 mph) in traffic, on the 405, an older man in the car next to me asks me to roll down my window. After some hesitation, I do so, assuming something is wrong with my car, and he is a good samaritan. Boy was I wrong. Upon rolling down my window, we engage in a conversation, as follows:

Man: (imagine 40-50 year old Russian man, and accent) "Give me your number."
Me: (unsure of what I just heard) "What?"
Man: "Give me your number."
Me: (disgusted look on my face, realizing he probably isn't a good samaritan, but instead some weird old man) "Why do you need my number?"
Man: "You good for sex."

I immediately rolled up my window and cut in front of his car, in an attempt to end all conversation. I look in my rear view mirror and see him throw his hands up as if to say "Did I say something wrong?" This response posed a few questions in my mind:

1. Does he do this often?
2. What about my car made him think I would be down for sex with a stranger on the freeway?
3. Does he even realize what he is saying? (Like when people tell foreigners to say embarrassing things because they don't understand the language.)
and,
4. Does this work often enough that me speeding in front of him merits a confused reaction from him? Do women just jump out of their cars and onto him when he asks this question?


Needless to say, it was quite an interesting experience. I told my sister not to tell my mom, as it would evoke some sort of concern for me that is unnecessary. (But of course, I posted it on Facebook.) The above picture is her response. She's funny. My sister, not my mom. Although, they are both funny.

I hope this is the last time this happens, but we'll see. Maybe it'll be a new fad...

doobie doobie doo...

This is on the cups for Ruby's Diner. I like it. It distracted me in the middle of my sentence. Ruby's is kind of cute. It has these cute old Coca-Cola ads. And I like it.

We're going to see Date Night tonight. I'm excited. I love Tina Fey and Steve Carell.

and in other news...

I'm kind of cheating today, as this is an old photo, but I don't know if that was a rule... so here goes.

I found this in a book of postcards called "Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals." It's a book of postcards with cute baby animals on them, and each one reads some sort of terrible message. Things like "Grandma's dead" to "Those pants make your ass look fat."

If you do a google images search for "grandma's dead" a bunch of the postcards pop up. They make me giggle.

Enjoy!

blend it up!

I'm making smoothies now. Yesterday's was good. Today's... Not as good. I substituted the milk for the fruit punch. I prefer a sour/sweet smoothie instead of a creamy one.

Probably not a good move on my part, but not bad. Although it does kind of make my mouth feel numb... odd.

The people behind us at Denny's are making out. A lot. Cute. Except not really. At all.

yummy yummy in my tummy!

Today I went to the store to buy healthy food. It's freaking expensive! I spent $107 (only after my Ralph's card brought it down from $139.) I believe this to be partly to blame for America's obesity issues. Granted, I did buy a bunch of food, but it was mainly fruit and things of that nature.

I made a yummy strawberry banana smoothie tonight. It was pretty good. I'll probably start making more or those. Experiment with different foods and such. I wish there were a thing online where you could choose what ingredients you have and it will show you what kind of smoothies you can make. I've seen something like this with alcoholic drinks, so maybe there's one out there... I can only hope.

the wheels on the cart go... away.

Outside of our apartments there are always shopping carts. Carts from Ralph's, CVS, VONS, 99 Cent Store, and so on. I don't understand why they get as far as they do, but they serve their purpose.

But the shopping carts in front of our building always have missing wheels. This baffles me. It's not like it's a car, and the tires sell for money on the street. These are shopping carts. Is there some sort of grocer's black market where you can get discount wheels for your carts from thieves? It doesn't seem to make sense. Are they in such high demand that they must be stripped from these perfectly functional, albeit far from home, shopping carts? Moral of this story, if you want to keep your shopping carts in one piece, don't bring it to my neighborhood. There is a cart gang. Watch yourself.
