Speaking of Yankee games I am watching an old one on ESPN Classic from May 1st 1996 and it's the Yanks/orioles and right now it's in the 15th inning. I don't remember what happened.
Jeter just got nailed with a pitch right on his left kneecap. OW.
I don't remember this game because I was in Oswego and I was probably drunk. Heh.
Wait why am I saying probably? I WAS drunk.
HAHAHAHAHAHA They intentionally walked to get to Tino Martinez with the bases loaded in the 15th and he hits a grand slam. That's funny.
Wow.
It's so funny to see them all look so young.
Aw.
It's about to pour here. Maybe that will get the people off the street.
Hopefully.
HAHAHAHAHA some guy just screamed out at the game, "I have to work tomorrow!" It was 12:50am at this point in the game. Heh.
Gerald Williams had 6 hits in this game?! Wow.
Wow the mom who got in the middle of the riot earlier is still outside making sure nothing happens...even in the rain.
Julia Roberts is pregnant with twins!? Julia I'm feellin ya on that girl. Twins run on both sides of my family and none of my older cousins have had them. Oy. Maybe I am better off being single...
Okay time to watch the Yankees!
Stace
P.S. I am looking in the outer boroughs for apartments. I'm thinking Queens. Oy. No one visits me now...no one will visit me there either.
May 31st 2004 8:15p
My babies could have been killed!!!! You should see the chunks of ceiling that fell down. No wonder Henry was/is hiding. My poor baby. He's still really skittish right now. Aw.
You can't imagine the mess in my bedroom. I have to sleep on the guest bed tonight. Yeah that should be fun. Bleh.
I took pictures of the hole and the chunks of plaster and sheet rock that littered my bedroom floor and my bed.
UGH!
If I recall correctly someone did tell me that they thought my ceiling was going to come down. I don't remember who it was. But they were right.
Woo hoo for them.
I am so pissed off.
My mother bless her heart cleaned the mess up as best she could with her Electrolux vacuum.
Today feels like Sunday.
I HATE that the only phone calls I ever get are from telemarketers.
My mom brought my long camel coat to the cleaners for me, finally. I only had an entire beer spilled on it in JANUARY. Anyway she said the Korean woman said, "Wow your daughter is long!" Meaning tall because of how long the coat is. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Conan O'Brien is so hilarious. I was dying watching him on Friday night.
What's with this happy, sappy Alanis Morissette?!?!?! I liked her when she was angry and pissy. Damn it.
I can't be the only angry chick on earth! Now she's in a relationship and she's all mushy and sappy. PUUUUUKE. Then again if I had her boyfriend I'd be happy too. Damn. He's in a new movie and his body is INSANE.
I am so superficial.
My coworker calls me Alanis when he knows I'm in a pissy mood. Heh.
I don't wanna go to work tomorrow. Oh wait one of my account managers will be out...never mind I do want to be back at work!
Okay my lump keeps getting bigger. I will go to the doctor at some point because now it's really scaring me and the area around is always sore.
A normal person would go to the doctor.
I found a new magazine I want to subscribe to. "Budget Living" magazine. It's really cool!
Poor Henry is still jumpy. Aw.
I just noticed that my dad left his empty coffee cup on the little table next to my lazyboy. Hey I may be a slob but throw your garbage out when you're in my apartment!
Good lord.
You know...the ceiling in here looks like it's gonna fall down too. Shit where the hell am I gonna sleep?
That's all I need.
HAHAHAHAHAHA "Calling Dr. Love" by Kiss is on the 70s channel. This will always remind me of my housemate Tim. He loved Kiss and he nicknamed himself "Dr. Love". He was an Asshead.
Yes I liked him.
Heh.
It's that blue eyed Irish thing what can I say?
I found out my JM from 20 years ago moved to Florida! What the hell? And he didn't inform me!?
Kidding.
"Love TKO" by Teddy Pendergrass !!!! This song will always remind me of my mom. The year was 1980 and this tape was all Diane listened to. Heh.
I love it.
Oh by the way my new favorite song is "Absolutely Zero" by Jason Mraz which tackles the heavy subject of friends with benefits.
And "There's No Stopping Us" by Mr. Mraz and "Who Needs Shelter" by the aforementioned Mr. Mraz.
I have such a crush on him. It's hilarious.
Hey at least I have a crush on someone.
Shit I just noticed another big crack in my bedroom ceiling. WHY?!?!???? Why do these things happen to me!?!?
Okay I'm going to watch the end of Game 3 of the 1999 World Series.

May 31 st 2004
Happy 30th birthday to my friend Wendy. Also Happy birthday to my coworkers Joe and Tom who also have birthdays today.
Okay I am already looking for apartments in newspapers, on the Internet and my dad is also looking for me.
I still think I should suck it up and move back here for a couple of months so I can save money.
I just checked my cell phone and Chrispy called me back last night. I forgot he was going camping with his girlfriend for his birthday. Aw. Puke. Sorry I am still anti couple. They ALL make me sick.
He asked me if I read Derek Jeter’s interview in Playboy. Um no. I wanted to but I am not going into a newsstand and buying Playboy. Chris said it was interesting. Hmmmm I wonder what that means?
My mom and dad went out for lunch. They wanted me to go with them but I explained to my mom that I am anti people right now. She just gave me a sympathetic look. I told her it happens every weekend. What can I do? Hmmm maybe medication, dumb ass!?
I do hate feeling like this but I refuse to take medication that’s going to make me happy and fake and scary like a stepford person. Bleh.
I’m not saying medication is a bad thing. Some people need it but I can’t take it. I tried and the stuff they gave me made me feel too jittery.
It works for my grandma.
It is soooo cold in this house! Jesus.
Ooh according to certain sources Stave Karsay is coming back to pitch next month. Aw yeah the Yankees are gonna be even better looking! Grrrrr. Plus his fast ball is up to the low to mid 90s. Nice!
My brother used to scream out “GAS!” when Karsay pitched. Heh.
I love going to games with my brother. He’s more obnoxious than I am.
I think if/when I do get a new apartment and it’s more expensive I will probably get a second job. God help me. It will have to be in retail. UUUGGGGHHH. But I will need money. Unless I somehow get a 10% raise. Yeah ok. There’s a better chance of my meeting a guy, falling in love with him and getting married BEFORE my 30th birthday.
I spoke to Racquel again this morning and now she wants to set me up with one of boyfriend’s friends. He’s a different guy than the one Eddie wants to set me up with. Oy. But as soon as I heard piercing blue eyes and Irish I perked up a bit. Heh.
Grrrrr.
I LOVE THAT!
And he has the same first name as another Irish guy I know with blue eyes so I can’t screw the name up! Score one for me!
HAHAHAHAHA!
And he’s tall! Yay!
I love tall guys.
Wait am I admitting I still like guys? What just happened?
Bleh... I HATE THEM ALL!
There, now I feel better.
Okay why is the airfare to Vegas so fookin expensive? Crap. I need to go to Vegas.
NEED TO.
I also need to go to my apartment and inspect the damage.
Aw my boo boos.
HAHAHAHAHA Wendy has her AOL away message on and it says, “OMG MY 20’S ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!”
I shouldn’t be laughing. I’ll be curled up in a ball crying the morning of my 30th birthday.
Or maybe I’ll be extremely hungover.

May 30th 2004
Happy 30th Birthday to my friend Chrispy out in LA. I called and left him a retarded message on his cell phone this afternoon.
Well, it seems while I was up here in Rockland my bedroom ceiling collapsed. Yeah, great right?
My mom went to my apartment to feed the boys for me and only Jack greeted her so she went looking for Henry and when she went into my room she saw the ceiling or lack of ceiling she thought Henry was underneath the rubble but he emerged from the TV room, shaken but not crushed.
So yeah I think I’m going to move out. I can’t take that apartment anymore. And I may have to move back in with the parents…OH GOD. I can’t be living at home with my parents at 30! There has to be another option.
A roommate? Oy. I can’t live with people who don’t know my moods. That’s why my roommate Alex was great. She knew when to leave me alone.
I have to think about this and weight the pros and cons.
Pro (because I can only think of one):
Living with the ‘rents will help me save up and help me to pay my credit card debt off.
Cons (because I can think of many):
Living at home with the ‘rents will drive me crazy.
My commute will be an hour longer and I’ll have to wake up early again.
I’ll have to keep my cats in my room with me.
CRAP!!!! This SUCKS!
I can’t move back here. I just can’t.
Maybe I’ll move to Queens or Brooklyn where it’s a teensy bit cheaper than Manhattan.
I need this like I need a hole in the head.
Now I need to win the lottery…or find a really rich man.
Speaking of men, this is a funny story. I was talking to Racquel on the phone today and she was telling me about a BBQ she and her boyfriend had for her boyfriend’s father yesterday. One of her boyfriend’s friends who I met in December was there. So she was telling me about something he said the night I met him. He was a very strange person and I knew it the second I saw him. We were going to meet up with my friend Chris who was visiting from LA that night in December and while we waited for Chris to show up at the bar I had to endure this assclown Jay. So later in the night I was talking to another guy and Jay said to Racquel, “She’s really pretty but I don’t see anything happening between us. I’m really picky and I’m just not feeling it.” So Racquel looks at him and then looks over at me and points at the guy I’m talking to and says, “She likes that guy. They have a thing.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And that asswipe still tried to make it seem like he was rejecting me. Meanwhile I was purposely avoiding him the whole night. Idiot.
Some guys are stupid.
Most guys are stupid.
On that note I am going to bed because I have been tired all weekend. I have no idea what is wrong with me.

Excuse me.
May 27th 2004
Now I am even more freaked out by the Julliard student's murder. Her killer allegedly went back to the body and dropped flower petals around it. That sick fuck.
So there is a psychosexual freak roaming around my neighborhood?! Great now I am going to be paranoid.
No going into any parks for me.
When I exercise I will be walking the streets.
So now I have two things to worry about 1) Al Quaida terrorists blowing me up on my way to work and 2) a psychosexual predator roaming my neighborhood.
Wonderful.
Now I’ll really never leave my apartment.
How is it that I went downstairs to the drug store to buy toothpaste and body wash and I ended up spending $53 on stuff??
Truthfully it is stuff I need but what is that all about? We (women) do it all the time. At least this time I remembered to get what I intended to buy in the first place. One time I went to get pads and bought everything BUT pads. Asshead.
So Gus watched the Sopranos last night, finally. He said, “It was alright. It was better that dream episode. That was so stupid.” Hee.
Oy I am really freaked out.

May 26th 2004 4:15pm
Okay so now I am little freaked out by the girl being killed in my neighborhood. I’ll be looking over my shoulder all the time.
Why can’t my neighborhood make in the news for something good?
Yikes.
I have had a headache for three days.
I think I am going to move away from New York now. We have too many things going on and Al Quaida likes to pick us as a target for the big ass attacks. Assholes.
President Bush: See the red button?…use it.
Thanks.
How’s this for an interesting headline? Stray Dog Adopts Baby Monkey.
Yeah.
Dogs and Monkeys living together, mass hysteria!
Yes I know he says cats.
It would be a miracle if I escaped one workweek without a paper cut.
Every time I think of my friend’s daughter Ophelia I sing her name to the tune of “Oh Sheila”. Yes, I know. LOSER.
“Oh Ophelia…”
BWAH!
It’s the little things that amuse me lately.
By the way I think Jack and Henry are having parties while I’m work because the amount of crap I clean out of that litter box every morning and every night cannot be from two cats. Last night when I got home from work at 10:45 I was cleaning the litter box and scolding them. They were both on the bathroom floor as I was scooping everything out and I was asking them how they could possibly shit that much and Jack just meowed. Okay I am having conversations with my cats. Shouldn’t this be happening in 30 years not now?
OH GOD HELP ME!!!!!!!

May 26th 2004
It was lovely coming home from a nearly 13-hour workday to see the Yankees winning a ballgame 10-2. That made me happy.
There’s a chick who keeps sending me emails on my yahoo account and I’ve sent emails back to her explaining that I am NOT the Stacey Rose she thinks I am but she doesn’t listen. Last week she sent me baby pictures. WTF? Are people really that dumb?
Apparently Stacey Rose is a very popular name.
Who knew?!
So a chick was killed in my neighborhood and now people are emailing me and saying, “Don’t jog alone!” Ok first of all I don’t jog, second of all I would never go to the park the girl went to and lastly, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.
It’s sad but common sense could have helped her a bit.
On Monday night at the concert Jason Mraz was talking about writing love songs and then was talking about how all of the guys in the audience have probably made a mix tape or two for their girlfriends. Heh. I’ve had one made for me and he wasn’t my boyfriend. He was just a friend trying to educate me on classic rock.
I’ve never made a mix tape for anyone. Oh wait. Well it was a CD and it was a bunch of remixes of music I had heard on Queer As Folk and I made it for Racquel.
I’ve always wanted to get a mix tape or CD from someone just to see what songs someone would deem appropriate for me.
Hmmmmmmm.
Is it just me or did Memorial Day weekend sneak up on us?
OH MY GOD!!!!! Bryan Adams first song is on WKTU here in New York. It’s called “Let Me Take You Dancin” and it is soooooo bad. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I didn’t think it would ever be played again. I think it came out in 1979.
3 months and counting.
Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Las Vegas….
Woo hoo.
I cannot WAIT!
So I got home from work last night around 10:30 and I fed the babies and sat down to watch the end of the Yankee game. So I logged onto my computer and as I was sitting at the table on the computer, Jack jumped up and rested his head against my arm. AW. BOO.
The boys must have known I was tired because they didn’t try to break into my room at 4:15…at least I don’t think they did. Who knows? I was so tired. But I had a weird dream about work and how I was telling people how I deserved 80K a year. HA! Okay that’s a little crazy.
Okay lunchtime is over. Back to work I go. I don’t want to stay late again tonight.

May 25th 2004
I have something to look forward to again!!!!
A trip to Vegas baby, aw yeah!
I saw Jason Mraz last night. And I’ve used this twice already but I don’t care. Mr. Mraz kickz azz. He was really good. I had a great time. He has a really strong voice and he’s better in concert then on his CD.
I felt a little awkward for two reasons: 1) I was alone, like a loser. 2) I was older than 75% of the crowd by at least 8-10 years. God I felt old.
But it was worth every penny and I had 8th row seats! I didn’t even really need my glasses to see him!
Okay so the Sopranos surprised me on Sunday. I knew Adrianna would get whacked I just didn’t think it was going to happen this week! That was awesome. I literally yelled out, “No fucking way!”
Oh I found my new favorite T Shirt. It was in a storefront on Broadway. It was black with white letters and it said, “Fuck you you fuckin fuck”. That has Stacey written all over it!
I hate this fucking place. It’s always when I need to get something done that everyone else fucking needs fucking something. Well fuck them. I’m only doing what I can.
Assholes. I hate when my good mood is ruined.

If you're a creature with a penis and have HBO On Demand I implore you to order Sex and the City episode # 81, "The Post It Always Rings Twice", go about 14 minutes in and watch what Carrie has to say. Listen, learn and practice. Thank you.
That's my only public service announcement of the day.
SON OF A BITCH I MISSED BANANAS AGAIN!!!!!
I always catch it 45 minutes in.
I love this movie.
I must have been tired because I woke up at 11:45 this morning. I haven't slept that late in a while.
I feel like crap tired. I have a headache and I am really exhausted.
I wanted to go into work today and get some stuff done.
Oh well.
Woody Allen is really unattractive. I can understand being attracted to someone for their sense of humor but...ick.
Oh God this movie is so funny.
I checked the schedule and it's on again at 5:15am. Damn it.
I need to have sex.
Oops where did that come from?
Racquel's boyfriend wants me to meet one of his friends. Great. A set up. Whatever. 'You guys would be great together." No we won't. I am never great with anyone.
I am very anti male lately and I might be really bitchy. I think maybe we should hold off on that set up.
I am anti male and anti couple. I have been scowling and hissing at couples. That's not a good thing.
But they all make me sick. I was outside in front of the building the other day during my lunch hour and there was a couple being all mushy in front of me and I rolled my eyes so much I thought they were going to get stuck.
Some people make me sick.
Like my coworkers girlfriend. Who calls their boyfriend 9 times in 2 hours?! 9 times in 2 days I can understand, well not really. Maybe 9 times in a week? But 9 times in 2 hours? There are some major trust issues in that relationship.
Every time I type 9 times I am hearing Ferris Bueller's mom saying, "9 times?" And Mr. Rooney replying with, "9 times."
Heh.
I was really pissed off watching the Yankee game last night. I turned it off in the 8th. But least they made it close in the 9th. Assclowns. And I saw on the ESPN ticker this morning that Giambi left the game In 9th because of his ankle. Well that's just great. Another injury, Jesus Christ.
And they're definitely losing today because Jose Contreras is pitching. And he sucks. Oh well there goes the 7 series streak. Ugh.
It's bad when your dad calls and when you answer the phone he says, "Oh you're not on the computer?" I told him my computer is a piece of shit and I can't get online. Then he told me if I did something that I can't mention on here he'd buy me a new computer for my birthday. Weeeeee!
I deserve a good one for my 30th birthday.
Plus I'll hook him up with the discount we have at work with Dell.
I keep having these bad dreams where my lump is cancerous and I have to do a round of chemo. It's freaking me out and making me not want to go to the doctor.
UNFUCKINGBELIEVEABLE!!!! Are you fucking kidding me?! The Yankees lost and it wasn't Contreras fault. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
I hate when they fucking lose games that they can easily FUCKING WIN.
Okay I'll calm down.
Oh wait how can I forget? Jason Giambi is on the Disabled List for the first time in his ten year career. Yip to the ee.
So let's see that's 2 weeks. So I think he should be back by the time I have another game. He better be back. He didn't play the last time I was at the stadium. Damn it.
I'm really pissy.
I am also pissy that people assume they can just say someone is staying with me instead of asking me. I don't want anyone here. I am very anti people this weekend. And I can barely tolerate my cats.
I tried to get some of the stress out by working out on the cross trainer. I worked out 20 minutes which is impressive since a few weeks ago I couldn't even last a minute and a half.
I was sweating my ass off. I worked out while listening to Duran Duran and I was trying to sing along. It was pretty funny.
I just changed my appointment with my therapist from early Monday morning to tomorrow at 5pm. Yay! Now I don't have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn.
Jason Mraz on Monday! Weeeeee!
Okay it's now 10:36pm on a Saturday and I am home. Are we shocked? Nah. I'd be shocked if I were out somewhere.
Plus why would I want to leave the house when SNL is having a Christopher Walken clip show. "It needs more cowbell." HAHAHAHAHAHA!
That is one of the best skits ever. Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon are hilarious in that skit. Fallon is funny because he can't stop laughing. And Will Ferrell is wearing the tightest jeans and a shirt that exposes his belly. Oh my god. I can't wait to see that. Heh.
Yay! Something to put me in a good mood.
It's sad when I have to rely on a TV show to make me happy.
Maybe I should go to Atlanta next week.
A year ago I was in Puerto Rico on a hammock with Julie and Racquel listening to the Coqui and singing songs from Moulin Rouge. Racquel and I were talking on the phone today about wanting to be back there.
If you've never been there you must go. It's awesome.
I have to go back there next year.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It's the first skit!!!
Will Ferrell is sooooo fucking funny.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHHAAAAAAH!
"I could have used a little more cowbell."
Oh my God I think I'm going to pee.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
"I gotta have more cowbell."
"I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!"
I love that they can have a best of Christopher Walken. That rules.
Will Ferrell's new movie looks funny.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Colonel Angus!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Oh my God.
Colonel Angus is an acquired taste. HAHAHAHAHA!
'If I over stay my welcome, tap me on the head."
OH DEAR GOD.
I have never seen this skit.
YAY! The Continental!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
This is my mom's favorite skit. Molly Shannon's "I'm 50! 50 years old!" Is # 2.
HAHAHAHA!
Champagna. HAHAHA
Okay where is my wowee wow wow?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Throw champagna in my face once, shame on you. Throw champagna in my face twice, shame on me.
BWAH!
He has a collection of gloves.
Hmmmm I'm missing a pair of gloves. Maybe the Continental has them.
He's singing to Mango! I forgot about this skit. HA!

I just ordered my Dell jukebox. Weeeeeeee!
It should be arriving next Wednesday or Thursday.
It will get a lot of use. Now I’ll have something I can listen to my cool mixes on while I am walking aimlessly around Manhattan! Yippee.
If it’s not totally disgusting out tomorrow I may just take the train downtown and walk around by the South Street Seaport.
Then again maybe not. I may just sit in my apartment on my close to being fat ass and do nothing all day. We’ll see what I feel like doing.
Okay walking sixty blocks last night wasn’t that smart. Now my right knee is bothering me. Ugh. I am breaking down at the ripe old age of 29.
Wow my friend Chris is turning 30 in 9 days. And then my friend Wendy is turning 30 the day after Chris. They dated once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away.
They dated for a while. More than three weeks.
I was on the phone with my dad earlier and he spent the entire time bitching about my mom’s side of the family, talking about how crazy everyone is. Again I had to explain that he and his family aren’t much better. In fact they may be worse than my mom’s family.
Talk about a dysfunctional family. I haven’t seen my dad’s brother George in, hmmmmm, 8 years? I think I was still going to Oswego the last time I saw him. He never goes to any family functions. Not that I am brokenhearted about that. I think my Uncle George was in love with my mom, was jealous of my dad getting her (not that anything ever happened between my Uncle and my mom) and for years he treated my mom like shit because he couldn’t have her and he treated me like shit because I am just like my mom. Oh boy he’d really hate me now because I am EXACTLY like my mom more than ever before. I hear it when I yell at the cats.
He has a restaurant in Queens and every time my mom brings up going there my dad makes up an excuse. Shocking a Greek guy with a restaurant, right? Well at least it’s not a diner. Heh.
I want to go to Astoria and eat Greek food. Especially since the last time I went to Astoria to eat I was in a REALLY BAD MOOD. It’s so enjoyable crying at a table in a restaurant with your parents and having a couple who is sitting across from you staring at you because they’re out celebrating Valentine’s Day and they know you’re upset because you’re a loser whose out with your parents on Valentine’s day because the world would probably come to an end if you ever actually had plans with a member of the opposite sex on Valentine’s Day…Wow where did that come from?
Yikes.
God that was so embarrassing. Luckily for me the place my parents picked was actually full of families because if I was in a restaurant full of couples that night I would have tried to slit my wrists with the butter knife.
But hey that day wasn’t a total loss. The Yankees were in the process of getting A Rod.
The funniest thing about that night was having my dad being nice to me because I was crying like an idiot, really for no reason. Looking back now I realize I really had no reason to be upset that night, but at the time I was so upset. I felt like such an asshole.
Oh great because of leap day Valentine’s Day is on Monday in 2005. Bleh. Now I have to see everyone else getting flowers from their boyfriends, fiancées, husbands, etc. while I sit at my desk all pissed off, dressed in black because it’s Valentine’s Day and once again I am alone.
I was joking to a friend that on the morning of my 30th birthday I’ll probably curl up into a ball and start muttering, “I’m 30 and alone! I’m 30 and alone!”
Heh.
It’s not funny. It’s true.
I am destined to be alone. Forever.
Oh well. I guess I can’t have it all…but I’d like to have SOMETHING for the love of God.
I’m not really in a bad mood today and this entry has been mostly negative.
Sorry about that.
I am going to create a 30th birthday registry so my friends can buy me nice things. I will probably never get engaged or married so this will be my only chance to get some cool stuff.
Yay! Something to look forward to!
Maybe I’ll put a pair Manolo Blahniks on there and see if anyone gets them. HA!
And a Louis Vuitton speedy.
And another pair of Uggs.
Hee.
I think now that the weather is nice I may venture to the Laundromat and do laundry this weekend.
Okay its 6:05. I have to go home.

P.S. My coworker’s girlfriend called him NINE times in 2 hours when we were all out after the Upfront the other night. Could you imagine?! I would kill her if I were him. So I guess she’s lucky I’m not him. Heh.
May 21st 2003
I decided I wanted to walk a little after work last night. So I walked up 6th Avenue to Central Park South and then headed to Central Park West. As I was walking I was like, “Let’s see how far I can go.” 60 blocks later...I got on the C train at 110th street and Cathedral Parkway. And the only reason I had to stop was because my littlest toenail was rubbing into my second to last toe and sliced it open. If it weren’t for that little toenail I probably would have walked until it got dark. Someone told me that it was a 3-mile walk. Not bad. Maybe I’ll do that 3 times a week.
It was a nice evening. Not hot and it was breezy and very comfortable. I don’t envision myself walking 3 miles when its 95 with 95% humidity. But who knows, I do love sweating from exercise…so we’ll see. I love walking. I could walk aimlessly for hours. I used to go for walks up at school for exercise and I walked to work at the pizza place. That was about a mile. It was probably why I was so skinny. Sniff sniff.
I felt so good after my sojourn but I also felt like I was going to pass out the second I got home. I ended up fighting it and stayed up to watch the entire Yankee game again. And they won, again. Yay!
My man had an ofer. My boy hit a HR. Go Derek.
I was waiting for an elevator earlier and I waited for the person who was in it to exit and he blatantly looked at my chest. Assclown. They’re boobs. Get over it. I know they’re nice and the girls will be happy to know that you like them but do I go around staring at guys’ crotches? Well, ok so there was that hot guy at the Golden Gloves Fight thing last month but Racquel made me do it!!!
Heh.
Damn that guy was hot though.
I have a friend who is insisting on playing matchmaker with two of our friends. I don’t know if I want to get involved. I don’t have a love life of my own and I am bitter and I want everyone else to be bitter (kidding).
I can see why she’d want them to get together. I mean if two people like each other they should be together, right?
I wouldn’t know about that. I like people they don’t like me. People like me I don’t like them.
Bleh.
I am planning on staying here late tonight. I want to get some stuff done so I don’t have to come in tomorrow to do it.
It’s hard to work with two different systems. I can’t work in both at the same time and it’s hard for me (and everyone else around here) to manage my time so I don’t have to spend one day in one system and the next day in the other. Thank God I know how to use the new system. But some people I deal with aren’t good at it and it makes work frustrating. I just want things done, and done correctly.
And unfortunately for me that is too much to ask.
Did I mention how I came home the other night and my sheets were new? My mom changed my sheets, threw out my garbage and got Jack and Henry food. She’s funny.
Then she called me insane because of something I did and I said to her, “I am your daughter…insanity is genetic in this family.”
The little girl who lives in the apartment above me was really loud this morning. She moans and grunts. I think she may be autistic and can’t speak. Sometimes when she does it late at night it freaks me out. Even the cats were looking towards the ceiling this morning.
So the Yankees are in Texas tonight. Good. At least the friggin game won’t be starting at 10:05 tonight. I hate West Coast games.
I am very itchy today and I don’t know why. I showered and cleaned everything so I don’t know what is wrong with me. My arms are extremely itchy. I feel like something is biting me.
Okay a woman was stalking Beverly Sills? Yikes.
Oh so I decided I am getting the Dell Jukebox. And I get a discount at the Dell site for being a GE employee. Aw yeah.
“I kinda always knew I’d end up your ex girlfriend. I hope hold a special place with the rest of them…Got another ex girlfriend on your lips but I should have thought of that before we kissed.”
Gwen Stefani…you go girl.
I love this CD. It reminds me of three years ago. It was all I listened to that spring. So Sunday will mark the 3-year anniversary of my eye surgery. Wow.
Sometimes it seems longer and other times it seems like yesterday. All I know is I don’t remember what my lazy eye looked like. (Thank God)
“This guy was meant for me and I was meant for him. This guy was dreamt for me and I was dreamt for him. “
“Music” by Madge. Another CD I love.
“Do you believe what you see. A motionless wheel. Nothing is real. Wasting my time, in the waiting line. Do you believe in what you see.”
Another great CD, bought because of this song. It was played at the end of the episode of Sex and the City where you thought Big was admitting his feelings for Carrie when he was sick and then turned into an asswipe in the morning when he felt better.
Heh.
Hmm I should go through how many CDs I bought because I heard songs on TV? Off the top of my head I have counted 8. Wow.
Oops 9.
I forgot about Sarah Slean whose CD I bought because a song of hers was played during a pivotal Joey/Pacey moment on Dawson’s Creek 4 years ago. Aw.
People are always trying to get me to watch the O.C. because they think I’d love it. Nah. I’ll pass.
Okay I have to get back to work

So I stayed up until 1:15 to watch the entire Yankee game last night and I am so glad I did. My man, who was back in the lineup after a couple of games off, all scruffy and sweaty hit a Home Run AND a double to the left side AGAINST the shift! That’s the reason why it was a double. No one was playing on the left side.
Grrrrrr.
Excuse me. It’s amazing that the sight of Jason Giambi hitting a home run makes me all hot and bothered. It’s the little things.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Sorry.
Thanks to my fellow Yankee fan tz for the caps. She’s so good to me and always gets me good pictures of Mr. Giambi.
What should I get for lunch? Hmmmmmm. I didn’t eat dinner last night or breakfast this morning so I am just a little hungry. But I think I am in the mood for Chinese food.
By the way I wrote the pissiest rant last night. It was very anti men. I won’t post it now that I am feeling a little better.
I have a really bad sinus headache right now.
Ugh.
I hate sinus headaches because my eyes throb from them. Both of my eyes throb not just the surgically repaired one.
Oh and I am suddenly getting a zit on my nose! What is that all about? I haven’t had a zit on my nose since high school. That was the first place that cleared up. And it hurts like a MOFO!!! At least it’s not at the end of my nose. Those zits suck!
I am sitting here singing along to Alicia Keys’ song “If I Ain’t Got You!!!!” Sorry but that’s how she sings it. Heh.
But everything means nothing if I ain’t got you!!! Whatever girlfriend. Don’t be so dependant on men.
Why are men so afraid of independent women? So what if I have my own place and a job and don’t have to depend on you for things, you can still love me, idiot.
I was having a discussion with my friend about that this weekend.
I don’t want to have to depend on a man for anything BUT I also hate that I feel like I have to make it seem like I should make them think I need them for things in order to keep them. Phew.
Wow I am dizzy now.

May 19th 2004
The NBC boys, er, men lost last night. But they did pretty well considering that they hadn’t played a game in 4 years and their opposing team’s average age was 25 (NBC’s youngest player was 29). The thing I didn’t like is that the opposing team’s pitcher dropped his glove to the ground and pointed up to the sky when he got our last batter out. Um it’s a softball game and you gave up 5 runs Assclown. You didn’t pitch a perfect game like Mr. Randy Johnson did last night against the Braves. My brother got on the phone when I was talking to my mom and told me it was happening. At that point it was the 6th inning so I watched the last 3 innings. Man that was scary. The thing that drives me crazy is that the announcers mention the perfect game so many times that you think they do it to jinx the pitcher.
Wow has Atlanta sunk or what? They were struck out 18 times by Ben Sheets the other day and now have a perfect game pitched against them. Unbelievable. I felt bad for Mike Hampton. He pitched a very good game; unfortunately for him Randy Johnson was literally perfect.
I think I finally recovered from the party Monday night.
Being old sucks!
I wanted to go to the Telemundo party last night because they are supposed to be really fun but I was too damn tired to party two nights in a row.
I have so much to do today. I think I am staying late tonight so I can get some stuff done that I normally can’t ever do without help from other people and collect some OT baby.
How the fuck did the Yankees lose 1-0 in 11 innings? How come no one was hitting? Jesus Mary and Joseph. Poor Giambi had to stand for the majority of the flight out to California because of his back. Mmmmm his big, strong, muscular back. Excuse me. Wow I am feeling a lot better today. I’m glad they’re sitting him out. He should have gone on the DL last year instead playing through all of his injuries.
I had tortellini w/Pesto sauce today for lunch. Mmmmm.
Speaking of Mmmmm my friend Jana sent me an email with Brad Pitt in his Troy outfit looking all fine and muscular. Damn. I sent it out to all the ladies on the 26th floor. They all appreciated it. Heh.
My mommy called me yesterday to tell me that my federal check came. AW HELL YEAH. I am no longer broke. WEEEEEEEEE!
But I am going to be a good girl and use it to pay some stuff off. I know other people who blew their returns on new clothes. That’s crazy.
So I found out my neighbor who had something wrong with her lungs actually has cancer in her chest wall…and the doctor said she could have stopped smoking ten years ago and it wouldn’t have mattered because she smoked so much it was going to happen. Yikes. So she doesn’t want to do Chemo but even with the radiation treatment the prognosis is not good. It’s sad.
And who is still lighting em up? Dada.
I was wearing high-heeled pumps today. I look so womanly in them and it’s amusing how high heels like that make you walk like a supermodel. It’s like you can’t help but swing your hips.
I heard a rumor about summer hours. We never had that before the merger. It’s something like if you work a certain number of hours between Monday and Thursday you can leave at 3 on Fridays. That’s great for people who have summerhouses at the shore or out in Long Island. And it could be great for a loser like me who will have nothing to do all summer but just wants to relax. Heh.
Oh! So I spoke with the head of the NBC gym. He was at the game last night. He said he’s going to help me with my back. Yay! He said I have to strength my core. Yeah no shit, the spare tire is getting a little too big for my taste.
Bleh.
Okay I am going to get to work while I can. Both boys are at lunch.
Yay!
Stace
P.S. I think I have a fever…I am voluntarily listening to Mariah Carey. Hey wait a second...this song RULES and it's all about me! You go Mariah.
May 18th 2004
One word: OW
Remind me to never drink Cosmos like water again. Oy.
My coworkers are calling me Cosmo today because of last night.
Smartasses.
We’re all hurting today. It’s pretty funny.
All of us are like, “Don’t hold it against us if we make any mistakes today.”
Heh.
Okay so let me recap yesterday’s events.
The presentation was scheduled to start at 2pm so we all left the office at 1:15 even though it was across the street at Radio City. The line is usually crazy long and we wanted to get good seats.
The presentation was nearly 3 hours long. It’s never that long. They decided to show the entire “Joey” pilot and it wasn’t bad. Usually when a network says that a sitcom is going to be the next big thing it sucks royally but “Joey” was pretty funny. And Drea De Matteo is pretty good as his sister.
They showed clips from Sylvester Stallone’s reality show “The Contender”. It actually looks like it’s going to be good.
There were a couple of shows that were “eh” and I don’t think they’re going to last.
Like “LAX” which stars Heather Locklear as the runway supervisor at Los Angeles International Airport. As if. And Blair Underwood is her competition for the head job at the airport. I think it would work better as a two-hour movie but what the hell do I know?
And another show called “Medical Investigation” which I think could use a better title (Again, what do I know?) also looks like it would be better as a movie of the week.
There aren’t many comedies this year. Just “Scrubs”, “Will and Grace”, “Joey” and the sure fire hit (said with total sarcasm) “Father of the Pride” which is an animated show that revolves around Sigfried and Roy’s white tigers. Yes. I did just say that.
I wish I could have snuck into the network party because I would have been able to see everyone. Oh well. I still had a good time drinking my ass off last night.
I am paying for it today though. Yikes. I am about to leave and get a greasy cheeseburger and fries for lunch.
Hee.
The boys have their softball game tonight (weather permitting) and then I will be able to go home and pass out.
Drinking on Monday night SUCKS when you have the whole rest of the week to go to work.
I went to the Yankee game on Sunday afternoon and DIDN’T get sunburned!! You gotta love SPF 30.
And they won for me! Woo hoo.
I yelled at a guy who was booing Derek Jeter. Assclown. I don’t care if Derek Jeter goes hitless the rest of career he does not deserve to be booed EVER.
What an asshole. And of course it was a fat, hairy guy who could never be a baseball player who was booing him.
Speaking of fat hairy guys…if I never see James Gandolfini shirtless again it will be too soon. It’s gotten to the point where I am liking the violence on the show because at least I don’t have to see his fat, sweaty, hairy torso on screen. BLEH.
Sunday night’s episode was strange. I think they picked the wrong time of the season to be artsy.
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, there is not enough sex on Queer as Folk this year. My man needs to be naked more. MFWTF.
Oh so Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin named their daughter Apple because someone they know has a daughter named Apple and they liked the name. Um ok. My dad would have a shit fit if I named any of my children after a piece of fruit. Gus usually likes traditional names like Mary and Elizabeth.
He’s going to hate when I name my first kid Mattingly. Actually maybe not. He told me he wants a grandchild named “Oh” after the Japanese ballplayer Sadaharu Oh. Yes Gus is insane.
If Gus had it his way, Melissa’s son Daniel would have been Pedro McDonald. Heh.
Man I am hurting right now. I want to go home and go to bed.
So I got official confirmation that as of July 12th I will have 5 extra vacation days added. YEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, back to work I go.
Cosmo
May 15th 2004
Okay the Yankees pissed me off this afternoon. I would have been fine with them losing 7-4, but no. They had to come back and tie it at 7 and then blow about 18 chances to win the goddamned game and end up losing 13-7 in 13 innings. Idiots. I wasted a whole afternoon watching that stupid game.
Oh and on top of that Jason Giambi is hobbling like an old man and has a bad hip. That's fucking great. Now he probably won't be playing tomorrow and I'm gonna be there! DAMN IT! Why on earth did Torre play him today? He could hardly walk and was in noticeable pain every time he swung at the ball. Jesus Mary and Joseph.
And could I be sweating a little more right now?!?
GOD!!!
Oh thanks to God, a nice breeze just blew into the room.
At least I got good news today. Now that the NBC Universal merger is complete they changed the vacation day policy. I will be celebrating 5 years of service on July 12th of this year (Go me) and I was supposed to be getting an extra 2 and ½ days of vacation. Well, the new policy is that I get an extra FIVE days. Yes folks I get an extra work week, so I will have 3 weeks vacation a year. Can I get a hell yeah!? Too bad I have no money to go anywhere. And no one to go with but hey I have more days! WOO!!!
Universal KICKS ASS!
Heh.
And here's a shocker there's now rain in the forecast for Tuesday because our softball game is that day. The good news is that if it does rain we'll all just go out drinking. But if the game goes on as scheduled we will be in Central Park somewhere near Tavern on the Green.
I am really looking forward to Monday. Weeeeee! More drinking!
I just turned on "Yankees Magazine" and DAMN just seeing Giambi swinging a bat is hot.
I would kill a small child to be able to sit and watch Yankees BP.
Is that lightning?
Yep it is.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh yeah there's the thunder. I'm not laughing about that though. I am laughing at the song on the 80s channel. "Could've Been" by Tiffany.
"Could've been so beautiful, could've been so right, I'll never hold what could've been on a cold and lonely night."
I think it's funny when 15 year olds sing about "lovers". Please. As if. Pffffft.
"Could have been my lover, everyday of my life!!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry.
I haven't heard any shocking songs today. Usually one of the music channels will play something I haven't heard in ages.
So the Jason Mraz concert is in just over a week! Weeeee! My mom dropped off my ticket today. YAY! And I got my state tax return check which means the federal can't be far behind. YAY AGAIN!
$1450 baby. Aw yeah.
I got my song. My song that I haven't heard in ages. "The Rain" by Oran "Juice" Jones. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! "I saw you (and him) walking in the rain, you were holding hands and I will never be the same."
God this song is so bad. One night Julie, Racquel and I went to Melissa's house when she was still living at home and we were listening to albums and 45s and this was one of the 45s. HAHAHA.
That was a fun night.
Aw Jackie is here with me.
So did I mention how my friend Chris was upset that one of my cats is named Henry? Chris's first name is actually Henry and his middle name is Christopher. So he was like, "Why is your cat Henry!?" Oh please. Should I be upset that I named one of my cats Jack because someone I briefly dated used to be called Jack in high school? Give me a farkin break.
You stone cold busted!
I chilled and went to the bank and took out every dime and canceled all your credit cards! HAHAHAHAHAHA Everythang!
I gave you things you couldn't pronounce!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
You dismissed
You without me is like corn flake without the milk! This is my world! You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
Forget what I said this is the best song ever. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You go Oran Juice!
My theme song!!!! "Never (Past Tense)" The Roc Project (Featuring Tina Arena)
I can so relate to this song. It's scary.
And ironic.
"You'll never hear my crying, you'll see me trying, to love you once again, you're love is so past tense."
I have to get all the lyrics to this song. It rules.
Jack just freaked out from the thunder and lighting. Aw boo boo.
Wow it's pouring right now.
"I loved you, you didn't feel the same. Though we're apart, you're in my heart, give me one more chance to make it real." Hello 8th grade graduation. How ironic that was when I actually liked a Henry. Jesus what was I thinking when I named my cats? Heh.
It's amazing what a thunderstorm does to the neighborhood. Ten minutes ago there 5000 people outside, now, none. Heh.
They'll all be back though.
Aw now Henry is in here all freaked out. My babies. Okay Henry isn't as freaked out. He's sitting by the window watching the rain.
My little brave Henry.
Wait I take that back he just scared by some really wicked lightning. It was so cute. He was cowering from the lighting and then looked over at me like, "whoa what the hell was that!?"
Heh.
HOLY SHIT that last flash of lightning scared the shit out of me. I just yelled out loud. Wow.
It looked like it was coming into my window.
Okay my heart started beating again.
Yikes.
"18 and Life" by Skid Row just came on the 80s channel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Jesus this song is 15 years old! YIKES!
'18 and life you got it, 18 and life you know, your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go!"
I need this album on CD. Yes I just I wanted Skid Row on CD. Some of the songs on this album kicked ass. "Piece of Me" "I Remember You" ... Hey wait a minute I think I have this on CD. I have so many CDs I don't remember what the hell I have.
Der.
Here's a funny story. The neighbor across the hall wanted to show someone my back bathroom so he could see the tiles or whatever. So when the guy left my neighbors said that the guy asked them if I was from Europe because I looked Romanian. WHAT??? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay that's funny. Me? Romanian? I don't think I look like anything. I am plain. Not exotic. That cracked me up.
Oh BLEH Clay Aiken! I know my friend Wendy loves him but ICK. And I know I listen to a lot of cheesy shit but come on now.
"More More More" is on the Disco Showcase.
Oooooooooooooooooooo how do you like your love?
Andrea True sounds like a dirty whore in this song...and she was one! How appropriate!
KICK ASS! "Invincible" Pat Benatar. 1985.
I am so out of shape. I just went on my cross trainer and didn't last five minutes. I have to build my endurance, damn it.
Wow this is one hell of a storm. It's not stopping. But it does feel nice and cool outside.
Doug made two gay guys VERY UPSET on Trading Spaces tonight. Heh.
Jesus!!! My coworkers are not only working on a Saturday BUT it's 11:29PM and they're BOTH still there! WTF?!
Oh good news!! I had a sex dream! Of course it was someone I'm not interested in anymore. I am LOOOOONG over him even though we are good friends. It was a weird ass dream. But I woke up happy. Because it's been so long since I've had one. Heh.
"You're so vain. You probably think this song is about you."
This song reminds me of going to this restaurant on the outskirts of Oswego called "The Little While" with my 5 suite mates. The song came on the radio on the way back and we all were singing along. It was funny.
"Tonight I'll be your naughty girl...I see you look me up and down. I know you came to party."
Hee.
My coworkers FINALLY left the office. It's 12:11am. I shoudn't talk. I've stayed there later than that but it was a workday nor a weekend day!
HAHAHAHAHA!
How funny is that?!
Okay I gotta go to bed. I haveto wake up at a reasonable hour so I can shower and get ready to watch the Yankees tomorrow, I mean later at the stadium.
Stace
Here's baby Daniel, laughing at his mommy. Hee.
May 13th 2004
I just went to the ATM to get some cash so I could buy dinner. My balance was $12.10!!!! JESUS!
Thankfully tomorrow is payday.
Damn. My bank account has never been that low. My previous low was $18.63 in 1996.
Then people at work are saying, "Oh yeah my account is always really low." Yikes. I am hoping to get my balance back up and keep it as far away from the red as possible.
And thankfully my bills are due at the end of the month. I hope my tax refund gets here soon.
So we had a meeting to discuss and go over the NBC Universal merger and what it means for us. None of us are getting laid off. Thank you Lord.
AND we'll have lots more job opportunities under the NBC Universal umbrella. California here I come! Yeehaw.
Okay the men who read the site need to scroll down because I am about to talk about something you guys HATE.
If I didn't have my period, the amount of blood I lose in an hour from it would kill me if it weren't coming out of my uterus. Jesus Christ. The only thing I can be happy about is that my period doesn't last 8 days like it used to in high school. That was a nightmare. I used to get it every 2 weeks also. Can you imagine? And I never went to a doctor. I have a thing with doctors. But I have to go now. To get that lump checked out. It seems to be getting bigger (Yikes) and I have to get back on birth control. All the sex I'm having would be less traumatic if I were on the pill. That was a joke. I'm not having sex. Any kind of sex. It's pathetic actually. I can't even dream about it. I am so stressed out that my sex drive has plummeted. Wow I am getting really personal. Ah fuck it.
It's gotten to the point that I am not even getting turned as much as I used to while watching Yankee games.
Now it's only like once a game instead of every time Jason Giambi is onscreen. Hee.
Speaking of Yankee games I have tickets for this Sunday against Seattle. I hope the weather stays nice. It's supposed to be sunny and 75 degrees. I will apply SPF 30 liberally. And wear a hat.
Ever since my facial in LA I have been a good girl. I wear moisturizer AND I wash my face before bed AND put anti-wrinkle cream on my face. I may be turning 30 in 106 days but I don't want to look it.
"It's My Life" the original version by Talk Talk is on the New Wave channel and it sounds so strange to me because I am so used to hearing No Doubt's version 5 times a day.
Wow I just found my friend Wendy's visitor's pass from when she visited me at the office in January.
Ah I remember that day vividly. I was in a SUCH a good mood. I should have known that good mood wouldn't last long.
It lasted, er, 2 weeks?
No maybe it was 3 weeks.
My dad went to the Yankee game this afternoon and they won. They always win when he goes. It's funny.
So there is a singer from England who is playing downtown tomorrow night and her name is Stacie Rose. I am so curious to hear what she sounds like.
Brian Williams who does the Nightly News for Tom Brokaw sometimes and who will be taking over when Mr. Brokaw leaves in November is one funny mofo. I watched the web cast of the NBC Universal Town Hall Meeting where the six big cheeses (including the one I was tongue tied in front of in the elevator) answered questions about everything from e-mail to the Olympics. Brian Williams was the emcee. He is really funny. We were all cracking up in our cubicles.
Our CFO left our division and will be now working with Universal. She got a FAT promotion. Her replacement, another woman (hell yeah girl power) will be starting Monday.
The six big cheeses who were on stage were all white middle aged men BUT a lot of the head people are actually women. They showed them all during the presentation. It was very cool.
In fact the head of CNBC is an African American female. And I heard that she's cool.
My elevator buddy Dick Ebersol the head of NBC Sport (as we like to call them now) was there also. There was a two week span where I was in the elevator with Dick Ebersol about 7 times. After a while he would grin at me. As if I were following him. Heh. Yeah ok.
OH! I was in the elevator with Rachel Dratch from SNL. I wanted to break into my Wake Up Wakefield, "Awesome" for her so she would start talking like Sheldon but I didn't. Okay no joke, she was up to my boobs. SHE IS TINY! Everyone on that show is so small. Seriously. And I wasn't even really wearing heels. I was shocked at how short she was.
Aaaawesooome.
I would so do it if I were in the elevator with Mya Rudolph.
I figured out a way to keep the kitties out of my room at night. If I put the hamper at the door but at an angle it gets wedged against the closet door hinge and then Jack and his big ass can't push it in!
YAY!
I love how they play "Disco Inferno" when Bernie Williams hits a home run. HAHAHAHA "Burn baby burn!"
Good for him.
I turned to the Yankee replay right as he hit it.
I like Beyonce's "Naughty Girl" song. I need to go out dancing. Speaking of going out, I have plans for Monday and Tuesday next week! Go me.
It's about fucking time. I need a social life again. And now that the weather is summer like it will be better when we go out.
And I have a new favorite drink. A Mojito. I had one at the Rainbow Room and it was bad but the one I had the RegBevWill kicked ass. It was so good.
I am going to start drinking girlie drinks. Like Cosmos, Martinis, Mojitos...drinking beer isn't getting me any attention from the creatures with penises. Girls look better holding drinks in cute little glasses as opposed to gripping a beer bottle.
Oh and as I much as I hate sweating when it's hot and humid I love it because the humidity is making my hair crazy curly! I was like Carrie from Sex and the City circa Season 3 today. Wild and curly hair. Plus I sat in the sun for a few minutes during lunch which helped to lighten my highlights.
And the funny thing is that I did nothing to it. I didn't put anything in it. Anytime I put something in my hair to make it curly, it never works.
What is up with that?!
YAY! "A View to a Kill" is on the Party Favorites channel. Yippee. God I love Simon Le Bon's voice in this song. I've always loved Simon. Ah a twenty one year love affair.
Jesus.
I ate the biggest salad for lunch today. It was really good. Oh yeah and now that the back is feeling better, Monday May 17th is the day the workouts start. I want to rest my back this weekend and make sure it's 99%. And then Stacey's back to the gym. I think I may even try working out BEFORE work instead of rushing at lunch time. The gym opens at 6:30a. If I get there by 7:15-7:30 I can work out for an hour and then shower and get ready.
There's a plan. And then I can use my cross trainer when I get home at night.
Yes that's it. I don't like how I am looking right now. I really only need to lose 8-10 lbs which isn't a lot. And I can do it pretty easily if I can STOP EATING. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I can't stop eating.
Although I like that the girls have gotten bigger with this last weight fluctuation, they shouldn't shrink much when I start working out. I can't wait for my arms to get cut again. Wee!
The best thing about working out is being all sweaty and going into the shower to rinse it off afterwards. I love that.
I gotta get myself psyched up for this.
So I RSVPed to my cousin's Thursday afternoon wedding out in Suffolk County Long Island. Well I am going to the reception. I can't go to a wedding out in Nassau at 3pm, then hang out on Long Island until the reception starts at 8pm. Um no thanks.
Now my brother doesn't want to go so I'll be hanging with mom. Yay. Almost 30, hanging with the parents in Suffolk County Long Island. To whomever is upstairs running the show, please, please, please let there be cute, straight, available, not boring men at this wedding. Oh yeah and it would help if they thought I was attractive as well. Thanks so much.
I have to buy a dress.
A hot dress.
Ooo a breeze just blew in here. It's nice out right now.
I was looking up cruise prices for the week of my birthday. I was thinking maybe I'd forget the party and just go away by myself on my 30th birthday but it's too damn expensive.
Okay it's 9:23pm and I am tired. Pathetic.

May 12th 2004
Assclown of the week: Barry Bonds. You may be asking, “Stacey, why is he the assclown of the week?” Well, I’ll tell you.
This is an excerpt from an article: Chatting at length with reporters by his locker for the second time in three days, Bonds addressed several topics before last night's game, including whether he'd like to have the kind of arrangement afforded this year to Roger Clemens, who doesn't have to attend Astros road games in which he's not scheduled to pitch.
"I ain't white," Bonds said. "What world are you living in? I live in reality. They'd never let a black man get away with that."
What? Is he kidding?
Another Bonds gem in reference to all of the intentional walks against him this season.
"They just wear me down. That's all they're trying to do, wear me down," he said. "(A) walk is harder because you're on your feet all day. I don't ever sit down. I go on the base, stand up, go get my glove and stand out there, sit for a few minutes, go and hit, go to first, grab my glove, run a base, do whatever, score, grab my glove, go to the outfield. That's the hardest thing."
Is he fucking kidding me? I would kill to be in his position. He gets paid over $100,000 to walk 90 feet 4 times a day! That’s not per year that’s per game folks. So as Justin Timberlake likes to say, “Cry me a River” Mr. Bonds. He will probably be known as the best player ever in baseball yet people won’t respect what he has done because he is SUCH an assclown. I do not understand him sometimes.
I felt really bad for him when he lost his dad. I cannot imagine the pain he went through but did his father bring him up this way? What is his problem?
Switching topics…so when is Bush pulling the troops out of Iraq and dropping the bomb? When? Because I can’t take it anymore.
I am so glad I didn’t see the American’s beheading. I know someone who did and she said that she almost threw up from it and that she will never get the image out of her head as long as she lives.
Okay I can’t get into a political thing right now because I will go off.
Melissa sent me pictures of Daniel. Oh. My. God. So. Cute.
BABY!
I love how I am just about to get to sleep and three assholes decide to hang out on the street underneath my bedroom window and yell at each other like it’s 12:40pm as opposed to the 12:40am that it actually was. Motherfuckers. I was thisclose to telling them to shut the fuck up in Spanish and call them a bad name. But I decided not to.
Some people work. Why do the unemployed lowlifes think it’s perfectly acceptable to be loud and obnoxious at nearly 1am on a Tuesday night? Assholes.
Ugh.
So now I work for NBC Universal. There are signs all over 30 Rock now. Imagine the possibilities.
Two things that I am shocked by on 5/12/04:
1) I am going to the Prime Presentation for the first time since I started working here nearly 5 years ago.
2) I am being nice to people I normally am not nice to.
What is up with that? I am straight trippin boo.
On that note I must be going…

I hate my back.
I missed another day of work because I couldn't move, which was partly my dad's fault. I stayed there this weekend and I did my laundry. Now, I love my dad and I appreciate that he drives me from Rockland to my apartment when I stay over BUT he knew my back was killing me all weekend, did he offer to carry my big ass bag of laundry? No. So I had to. And then aggravated my back which was actually starting to feel better. The only way I felt comfortable was in my lazy boy, reclined, with my feet up. When I sit up my back hurts...like right now. But I have been dying all day to write this.
Oh and I am broke. I have $84.25 in my bank account. Yeah not $842.50 but $84.25. My account hasn't been that low since 1997! Good lord.
Thank God I get paid on Friday. The reason why I am so broke is because I paid a bunch of bills last week, like a good girl.
How about my boys coming back from a 6-0 deficit to win 7-6 yesterday? Aw yeah. And who hit a 3 run HR to make it 6-4? My man. And who hit a 2 run HR to tie it? My boy.
I am so hungry but I cannot afford to waste money on food for myself. I have to buy food for the babies tomorrow.
And so much for me working out with a bad back. My fucking back ALWAYS does this when I want to start working out.
FUCK!
Thanks I feel a lot better.
And is it possible that I hate every man on earth? EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM?
Wow this is a new PMS side effect. I am going to be a whole bunch of laughs tomorrow at work considering I work for two men. Oh boy. I should send out an email right now warning them.
"Dear Kevin and Joe, I hate every single male on the planet, including my cats, stay the fuck away and don't piss me off. Thanks, Stace"
Yeah that will go over well.
MEN SUCK!!!!!
They're all assholes!!!!
Jeez, I'm sorry I am having an extremely delayed reaction to something I should have reacted to months ago.
MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE!
Pardon me, my terretts syndrome is kicking in.
I'm gonna stop typing now because it's going to get worse. Now it's time for me to start writing angry letters and poems that people will never see, but make me feel better.

I think I am finally over my jetlag.
I am watching one of those celebrity fitness shows and they said that Kate Hudson gained over 70 lbs when she was pregnant! Jesus! That’s a lot of weight.
I have to go out and get mommy something for Mother’s Day.
Someone wished me a Happy Mother’s Day. Um I have two cats, does that count?
Watching this show is making me want to diet and workout again. Damn it I can do it. I am sick of being heavier than I should be. When I throw my 30th birthday party I am going to be able to wear a miniskirt, damn it. Even if it kills me!
That’s it. It’s back to working out 3-4 times a week and cutting the crap out of my diet.
I’ve been drinking a lot of water lately. I’ll cut soda out. Salads, veggies, oooo baby carrots in fat free ranch dip mmmmmm.
Hello cross trainer, good-bye fat ass.
It’s nice out and I want to be able to wear whatever I want.
Time to get started. I’m going to do some crunches.

I am back from LA and NOT HAPPY.
I want to be back there, being chauffeured around town, getting my facial at the Beverly Hills Hotel, eating lunch at the Polo Lounge, eating dinner at Ago, drinking mojitos at the Regent Beverly Wilshire, walking up and down Rodeo Drive, sitting by the pool at the Beverly Hilton, drinking a beer and shooting the breeze with my friend Chris; eating lunch at the Ivy, going to an Anaheim Angels game in a tour bus complete with a full bathroom and queen sized bed, sitting in a dugout suite at Edison Field next to Scott Boras, hanging out at Skybar and making fun of girl friends who dress a like.
AND NOT PAYING FOR A THING!!!!!
Sigh.
Although at first it seemed the trip was destined to be bad when it was announced on our plane ride out there that the movie was “Paycheck” starring the one and only Ben Assfleck. Going to Puerto Rico last year I was stuck with “Maid in Manhattan”. And I said to Julie, as long as it’s not a J Lo movie I’ll be happy. Yeah…great…Assfleck. Bleh. I didn't really watch it. The sight of him annoys me so much now.
New Pet Peeve: Okay here’s the situation my parents went away on a week’s vacation and they left the keys to the brand new Porsche did I mind mmmm well of course not. Er, sorry. Where was I? Ah yes, I was having a conversation with someone and he was telling me how two of his friends are getting a house this summer out in the Hamptons and that he was coming to NY sometime in August. Then he said, “Hey maybe you can tag along when I go out there…” (And here comes the pet peeve) “…But don’t worry, so and so won’t be there.” You know what? I don’t give a shit if so and so were going to be there. In fact I want so and so there so I can punch so and so in the balls. How about that?
Wow I feel better.
Nah I would never punch him in the balls. He doesn’t even deserve to get that kind of a response from me.
How about those Yankees? You have to love a 7 game winning streak. Of course now that I mentioned it, they’ll lose tonight. (crossing myself)
So I didn’t see any celebrities out in LA…saw one at the baggage claim at Newark Airport though. Jimmy Smits was on our flight back home. So yay me. Finally.
Well, I guess you call Scott Boras a celebrity since he is the biggest agent in sports.
That was really cool.
Aw man it is great to be back here…yeah ok.

I love coming back to work after being out sick and seeing a pile left on my desk.
Thanks a lot.
I was out two days with some sort of viral thing. I had a fever that wouldn’t go away and I still don’t feel great but I am glad I got sick now instead of while I was in LA.
I am staying at the Beverly Hilton!
We are being picked up by limo at LAX. WEEEEE!!! I cannot wait. I need this little sojourn so badly.
Please God let there be cute boys!
Excuse me, cute men. I am done with boys. I have no use for them.
So in my delirium the past two days I watched Sex and the City Seasons 3 and 4. And I may not have as much sex as the girls but I can relate to a lot of the stuff they go through. It’s a bit frightening how much I can relate to.
Yikes.
Some of the things Samantha talks about are so funny. One of my favorite scenes is in the diner and she says, “The guy I’m dating has the funkiest tasting spunk.” And Charlotte gets up and storms out. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
A lot of the stuff Carrie goes through with Big is pretty relatable. I think anyone can relate to that. We all have had people lead us on when it’s convenient for them.
Assholes.
Hehe.
To the Yankee fans who continue to cheer for Derek Jeter even though he is in the midst of the worst hitting slump of anyone’s career: Thank you. You made me cry last night during the game.
I will never boo Derek Jeter. NEVER.
I don’t care if he goes hitless the rest of his career. We should find out if he’s banging anyone. That’s when his average usually goes down. Heh.
I need to go shopping with money I don’t have for stuff to wear in LA. I have no warm weather clothes. Let me restate that, I have no clean warm weather clothes.
And a lot of the warm weather clothes that don’t fit me anymore. Heh.
Wait I shouldn’t be laughing about that.
I actually have to go to my parents’ house on Friday night because there are a couple of things I have there that I can wear in LA.
Now I am getting excited.
WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So I found out it's a group trip out to LA. YAY! Hey maybe there will be a nice looking single guy for Julie. Cause Lord knows I won't care. Heh.
Boys are stupid.
Or at least the ones I know are.
I hope I get to meet up with my friend Chris while I am out there. I haven't seen him since December. And I didn't even really see him that much that night.
He was really drunk. Heh.
Oh I am listening to a really cool remix of "She Wants to Move" by N.E.R.D.
I have to download this. I need a new workout CD. I have been using the same one for almost two years.
Not that it's a bad mix because I love all of those songs but they remind me of a relationship that I don't need to be reminded of.
Okay weird. One of the songs just came on one of the music channels...FREAKY.
This morning I literally almost peed in my pants because Howard Stern was singing along to Prince's new CD and it was one of his high note songs. For some reason that struck me funny and I was dying. My Venti White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks almost gave my nose an enema (nice plug).
Ooooo the Restaurant is on tonight. Mmmmmm Rocco. Grrrrrr.
When I get back from LA I am definitely going to the doctor to get my lump checked out.
"Shiny Happy People" by REM is on the Party Favorites channel. This is one of the first CDs I owed. I played this CD all summer in 1991.
I am almost finished reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. Next is "The DaVinci Code". I'll probably read it on the way out to LA. Oh God. Two of the three times I've flown out West I have taken Jet Blue. I was able to watch TV. I still don't know what airline I am taking. I am going to bring my CD player also.
I should decide what CDs I want to listen to. Definitely Zero 7, Ivy, Justin Timberlake (shut up it's good), Matchbox Twenty's most recent one...Hmmmmm.
I also have to get some warm weather clothing. Weeeeee! LA!
I found one of my bikinis, not that I will wear it out in daylight, I will go night swimming.
I hope Julie brings her camera. I want pictures. Obviously not of me in my bikini.
I made sure I wasn't in most of the pictures two years ago because I was so heavy. Bleh.
My hair was also a lot shorter then, above my shoulders.
What a difference 2 years makes.
And then again it doesn't.
Ahem excuse me.
So I overslept this morning and completely forgot about my appointment with my therapist. Duh. When my phone rang at 7:22am I was like, "Who the hell is calling me?" No one calls me that early in the morning. Well, not usually.
I felt like such an idiot but we did a phone session.
It's been nearly two years since I started seeing her. She rocks.
I told her I need closure in regards to a certain situation in my life and since the other party would probably want no part in it I have to do it on my own. Bleh.
How annoying.
Holy shit "Add It Up" by the Violent Femmes. This reminds me of my cooler older next door neighbor Adria. She was so cool.
She brought me to my first concert when I was 12. She was 16. She dressed me up like a little hootchie. And I clearly remember these two guys thinking I was 16. Okay first of all at age 12 I didn't even have an A cup. So I don't know what the hell made them think I was 16...oh yeah my height. But hello when I say nothing I mean NOTHING.
12 year boys were built better than I was.
My boobs seriously appeared out of nowhere. I still can't believe guys at my high school reunion thought I got a boob job. HAHAHAHA! I used to want to get one. I figure once I start squeezing out the babies they'll get bigger like my mom's did. (crossing my fingers) I don't want the opposite to happen. I know so many people whose boobs disappeared with every kid they had.
I hate when I get sucked into crapass shows. Right now I turned on the Swan and I am tempted to watch.
This chick's husband cheated on her!!! That FUCK! KILL HIM!
Excuse me.
This one isn't that bad. Well okay her nose isn't that great but she's really not that bad. Aw. These people are so sad.
But THEY HAVE BOYFRIENDS AND HUSBANDS!!!!! Maybe I should go on the Swan since I can't get a boyfriend....hmmmm.
Hey wait a minute...just kidding.
I hope the chick whose husband cheated on her looks so good after her surgery and program that she leaves his ass.
HA!
God I hate when they show parts of the surgery. That grosses me out. I like the "before" and "after". I can do without the "during".
Wow that one chick looks BAAAAD.
I am trying to think of what I'd want done. Let's see.
Rhinoplasty. My nose bothers me. Other people think I am nuts but I don't like the end of my nose. It's too mushy.
Microdermabrasion on my face because I haven't had soft clear skin since I was 11.
Gum surgery because I HATE my smile. It's too gummy and it makes me self concious. My teeth are way too small. Bleh.
I like my lips so I don't need them changed and I don't think I need lipo anywhere because once I work out I am okay.
Oooo maybe lipo on my chin to get rid of my double chin.
And laser hair removal. Heh.
That's it.
Not that bad.
Whoa the chick whose husband cheated on her looks unbelievable! Damn!
The second chick probably doesn't look as good. Heh.
Okay normal cats don't like going into cat carriers...but then again my boys are not normal. They have me as their mommy. Hee.
There's a story on FOX news (Channel 5 here in NY) about how people are taking pictures of themselves naked for their spouses or significant others. I'll just say this...it's fun. Heh.
And liberating.
Oh boy I opened a can of worms there huh?
I'll shut up now. Rocco is coming on. Grrrrrrr.
