words of wisdom.

watch through til the end to catch all the great cameos. my favorite is danny devito and rhea perlman.

dreams do come true.

one set of take shelves at my office. it's so tall i can't even begin to get to all the shelves, and books are stacked at least two rows deep. i don't ever want to leave.

few things from the week.

where i want to be for the weekend.

who i saw on wednesday night @ 9th & 46th.

where i work now. (!!!)

P.S. If you still care about Lost (which I hope you do, despite the complete out-of-control-ness thus far of in the season), read this. Hopefully it helps. Have a great weekend, all!

professor hilarity, take 2.

hopefully you caught my post a few weeks ago, where i began my "professor quotes" section. here we go again, with more gems from the master of organizational behavior.

but before i even get into what he said last night, let's discuss his clothes. i've seen him twice now, and both times he has worn really fancy looking suits with this stand-up type collar. his shirts have the same short little, standy-uppy type collar. what the heck?! where does one even purchase a suit like this?? also, he never wears a tie, but always has a little hankie, poofie thing hanging out of his pocket. he lives in italy usually, so maybe i can blame it on that?
anyhow:

• [again, about the overhead projector] "Can this light be turned off? Damn. I already used my near-death experience joke last time."
• "Let's talk about tooting your own horn."
• "In that type of role you have consultants working for you, if you're willing to tap them."
  

clear out, i'm workin' with pills up here!

cvs is on my shitlist. i decided to fill my new prescription there, since the duane reade across the street is officially run by morons. i dropped of my prescription yesterday afternoon, everything went smoothly. super. but, when i went to pick it up this morning - crisis. allegedly, there was a "problem" with my insurance. i was (rudely) asked to wait while they figured it out. i proceeded to wait close to an hour for them to "sort this out". i stood around with my best "i am extremely pissed off" face on, but that didn't seem to incite them to move faster. i was told repeatedly that "she is on the phone with your insurance" but i could not find a single pharmacist who was on the phone. the only time they did pick up the phone was when someone called to ask about a prescription. they were very quick to answer those calls. so quick that i thought about going home and calling them to bitch about the issue instead of just standing there. anyhow, after waiting around for a million years while every other tom, dick and harry was helped before me, i was graciously handed my prescription. but - problem #1: it was much more expensive than it normally is. problem #2: my Rx is written to get 3 months at a time, but i was only handed a 1 month supply. blerg. i wanted to book it and figure it out later. as i turn to leave, the pharmacist says to me "Thank you," in that tone that really means "Please thank me for my brilliant work with pills." I did not. As I'm walking away, she continues to shout "Thank you" at my back.

Through all of that, here's the best thing I heard while waiting around the pharmacy counter -
Pharmacist Lady #1 to Pharmacist Lady #2: "What's half of a half?"

Do not, I repeat, do NOT go to the CVS pharmacy at 86th and Broadway.

solution.

instead of going the old boring route to bookshelves, i (well, z) found a cooler solution. if you recall, i have had a slight book overload as of late (which is due to a disease called "Must Buy More Books Than I Have Time To Ever Read"), and this is due to only get worse in the very near future. hoorah for floating shelves! can you figure out the secret?

4 Gregs!

if you caught my valumtime's day special here, then you are familiar with teen girl squad. (if not, catch up here, and here.)

but NOW, there is 4 Gregs! the teen girl squad counterpart cartoon - complete with d n' d greg, sci-fi greg, open source greg, and japanese culture greg. just as clueless and socially awkward as the tgs, but now in boy form! watch the first ep, as they cautiously dare to spend a night in mainstream social territory at the high school football game.
