Work is really kicking my ass this week. I worked until 10pm last night. So much for it only being two and half days. Bleh.
I’m like a robot today.
I’m going to sleep well this weekend.
Okay why does it bug me people say hi and bye EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY SEE ME?
If we’ve said hi to each other already, no need to do it again, right?
Jesus.
Work is stressing me out so badly that this is the stuff that is bothering me today. Oy.
Back to the grind.

If there is a God up in heaven I really want to know what he is thinking. My coworker had a baby on October 20th. Her first, a daughter she named Madison Hailey. On November 17th that baby is dead. What the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck? She turned blue early this afternoon and they couldn't revive her. How does a person recover from that? I am so upset for her. I am sick to my stomach.

Look at what I wrote on 1/28/05: "IF Jason Giambi is healthy, he’s hitting over 30HRs, take that to the bank, put it in your pipes and smoke it and bite my ass while you’re at it."
And what did he do? He hit 32. Hee. I love when I'm right.

The members of the NY Sports Media, minus my buddy Otis Livingston from WNBC, are idiots.
Way to tarnish A Rod’s MVP victory boys and girls! Good job!
You act as if he’s kicked your dog. Get over yourselves. Don’t you realize he is one of the best baseball players of this age and possibly will end up being one of the greatest of all time? And yet you guys focus on his lack of World Series rings, like it’s his fault that the Yankees haven’t won a World Series since 2000. You fucking dolts.
The back page of the New York Post pissed me off so badly I almost grabbed one out of a strangers’ hands on the train and ripped it apart.
Ugh. It’s such a travesty that David Ortiz didn’t win the MVP? Fuck him and fuck Boston. 2004 is over bitches. You were a one hit wonder. Go away. Go back to your caves you worthless pieces of shit.
Wow I feel better.
Oh and while I was away the Baseball Writers Association of America had the gall to pick Bartolo Colon and Chris Carpenter as the Cy Young winners for the American and National Leagues respectively. Nice job Asshats. Colon won because he had 20 wins. Johan Santana was better than him stats wise. And Chris Carpenter? I guess the votes were in before September because he SUCKED in September. As much as it pains me to say this Roger Clemens could have been a better choice. But you’re just Baseball Writers what do you know? Right?
And onto another recent development that has pissed me off so badly I was hissing at people. I didn’t post about this too much but I interviewed for a show back in February about Yankee fans who would follow the team all season and be filmed. My interview actually went very well but I wasn’t expecting to be picked and when I wasn’t, it was fine with me. But then I found out that the lone chick that they picked for the show to be in the group of four worked for the YES Network I got really pissed off. I work for NBC and I can’t go on Fear Factor or the Apprentice because it’s a conflict of interest. And usually when there is an open casting call for a show that’s going to air on a specific network you don’t usually choose someone from your own network to do it. Anywho so this bitch was picked and apparently she acted like a “ditzy fan girl” which also pissed me off but then also made me realize why I wasn’t picked. The people I interviewed with were dumb and I knew my shit and I kept correcting them because I hate when people talk like they know something and they don’t. God forbid a chick knows baseball better than a guy. They needed to fill the role of “babe” but also make it so she was a bit ditzy for the male audience to be attracted to her. Guys are intimidated by my sports knowledge. That has been a fact since I was born. So I couldn’t be on the show because I would make the male fan base seem like they were inadequate if I was spewing stats and actually knew what I was talking about, right?
Anyway, now there are reports in the papers that this chick may possibly be the new pre and post game reporter on the YES Network. Yeah, good job. Pick someone who 1) has no reporting experience and 2) is a ditz. The players know she’s a fan girl with no experience and so does everyone who watches YES. Are they setting her up for a fall? Or are they so dumb that they think this gimmick will work? Only time will tell but I hope she fails miserably and YES has to scramble for someone to replace her. I wonder if she has a pair of YES kneepads. That’s the ONLY explanation as to why they would do something like this. And don’t think I’m saying I would do a better job because I couldn’t. I know I couldn’t. I have no experience.
Oh and another thing? The dumbass says scores backwards. Like for instance, “The Yankees lost 2-5.” Hopefully she’ll stop that stupid habit if she gets the reporter job.
I sent Mike Lupica of the Daily News an email this morning telling him that he’s a petty and jealous little man. I think I also called him a jackass.
Ahhhhhhh it’s good to be back.

“I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion
I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion
Iron Lion Zion”
This was the theme song of my trip to Jamaica. I heard it like 15 times. Heh.
Jamaica was so great. I didn’t want to come back home. There’s nothing nicer than waking up and being able to walk 100 steps to the beach.
I actually came back with a tan but since I don’t return to work until Monday no one at work will even see it, unless I go to the tanning salon and try and preserve it. And I am VERY tempted to do that. I was very proud of the fact that I came back tan and not totally burned. I did burn my shins on the last day. Duh.
My face isn’t very dark but for someone as pale as I was when I left it looks good. I have a nice and healthy glow and don’t look like a vampire.
I cannot wait to go back. I want to start saving up to go again next year.
Aw man. Does anyone have $1,955 I can borrow by November 30th? I have a chance to get rid of a credit card debt I have if I pay that amount. I owe a lot more but they want to make a deal with me. Actually I wouldn’t need that much.
This would help me so much if I paid it.

“One love, one heart, lets get together and feel alright.” I cannot wait to be in Jamaica.
I want it to be Friday damn it.
Wow I am really in a bad mood today. I just hissed at someone.
So the people here at 30 Rock figured why not make this building more of a tourist attraction and an even bigger terror target and reopened the observation deck after a nearly 20 year hiatus.
It’s actually really nice. I got to go up there on Friday evening and the view is breathtaking. Unlike at the Empire State Building you get a great view of Central Park. You’re up 70 stories at the highest point at the “Top of the Rock”. One of the coolest parts of the whole experience is the elevator ride. When the doors close the elevator becomes dark and the ceiling turns into a glass ceiling so you’re able to look up the entire shaft which is lit with blue and pink lights. It takes about 20 seconds to get up there. That was really cool. There are 3 levels of observation decks. The two lower levels have glass walls because you’re near the edge of the building and they’re great because they block the wind when it’s cold. And then the very top level doesn’t have glass and is wide open.
I recommend it to anyone who visits NY and the good thing is, you can buy tickets in advance online if you want.
I have a headache again. Damn it.
This place is making me sick.

Okay seriously what the fuck? Motherfucker what the fuck? Katie Holmes is pregnant?
People in Hollywood either divorce before they’re married a year or have babies before they’re dating a year. PREGNANT!? Who’s the real father?
I went to Yahoo to see what the score of the Atlanta/Houston game was and I see the headline, “Cruise, Holmes Expecting Child”. I literally said “WHAAAAAAAAAT?” and called Racquel who confirmed it.
Dear Lord. I wonder what Tom will do if Katie has postpartum depression.
Major League Baseball can suck my ass by the way for tonight’s start time. 10pm EST? Um are you fucking kidding me?
I’ll be up until at least 2am. Assholes. Some of us have to work.
I’m in a cursing mood. My back has been bothering me for three weeks and what does the stupid doctor say? My boobs are really big and could be affecting it. Well no shit! I’ve only gone from a D to a DD in three months because of the damn pill. I’m like a 12 year old again. They hurt all the time and they won’t stop growing. Christ. I feel like Dolly Parton.

I may have to go to St Patrick’s Cathedral and pray before the game tonight.

Hello, long time no write.
I’m stepping up onto my soapbox.
Please do everything you can to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Seriously. I have a friend who lost everything. Her entire parish was wiped out. I collected money from my coworkers and I am up to $500. I will be getting her a Target gift card probably for $250 and then the other $250 will be split between gift cards for restaurants, gas, long distance phone cards, etc.
She’s staying in a motel in Tennessee right now but will probably end up staying with her sister in law in Mississippi for a little while.
I’m also collecting clothes from people for her baby. Oh yeah did I mention her baby boy turned a month old on September 4th?
Can you imagine evacuating, thinking everything would be okay and then finding out that your entire town is underwater?
That’s what happened to my friend. I was so scared when everything started happening I started leaving messages on all of the TV station message boards they set up asking for her and her family’s whereabouts.
Thank goodness they’re okay.
Nice job by the government during the hurricane. Way to step up! Asses.
President Bush doesn’t care about poor people. Doesn’t matter what their skin color is. But if someone still thinks that race didn’t play a part in the slow response time, they are naïve. Please. If rich white people were stranded in New Orleans you’d bet your ass they would have had help sooner than 4 days after the hurricane.
Everyone should be blamed for what happened down there the way from the top (President) to the bottom (local government). I can’t believe I was watching footage from a city in my own country. It was surreal.
PS we’re going to be so fucked if nuclear or biological weapons hit us.
Okay back to work.

I am reposting something I wrote two years ago on this day.
August 11th 2003
Two years ago today was probably one of the worst days of my life. It was the day my best friend’s father passed away from cancer. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it feels like it was ten years ago.
I was actually supposed to be away for the weekend and my plane was delayed the night before and ultimately brought back to the terminal after sitting on the runway for 4 hours during severe storms. I decided not to bother trying a later flight. I called my best friend and she picked me up from the commuter ferry that I used to take home (when I still lived with my parents)
I was meant to be home that weekend.
I remember taking a little while before I was able to go into the room to see him. He was the second close family friend within three years to have terminal cancer and I still wasn’t prepared emotionally for seeing him. His condition had deteriorated so badly within the span of two days. That Thursday I was at my best friends house and we told her dad that I was going to North Carolina for the weekend and that I would be home on Monday. He just looked at me and nodded. Something about the look he gave me almost made me cancel my trip right then and there. But I decided that I was going to go because I didn’t think we’d lose him so soon. Thank God for those storms.
My parents weren’t home that weekend. My brother graduated from the University of Florida that same day which was ironic because he was close with my best friend’s dad. To this day my brother says that 8/11/01 was the best and worst day of his life. I told my best friend’s dad while he was on his deathbed that my parents were down in Florida and that my brother had graduated. He couldn’t speak, but he grunted to let me know that he knew what I was saying.
I felt bad for my parents. They were also close to Pete and they had no idea that he would go so soon.
In fact the day after he passed away when my mom finally called their house she was wailing on the other line (I had left 6 messages on her cell phone, which are probably still on it, but she didn’t know how to retrieve them. Duh. I called my grandma and told her to tell my parents what had happened if they got in touch with her)
Actually it was kind of funny. My best friend’s brother picked up the phone and was calmly telling someone about when Pete had died and other stuff and then he says to me, “It’s your mom.” And I could hear her crying through the receiver from 4 feet away. In a truly bizarre role reversal I had to calm her down. By that point I had cried for 18 hours straight so I was all cried out. I felt so bad for her. So I told them when the funeral was and they were able to make it. My brother didn’t come up. He couldn’t. My brother is very sensitive. It’s so cute sometimes.
My best friend was so strong that day. I watched in awe as she calmed her brother down, sat with her dad as he was slowly dying and sang to him. That was tough. We were all blubbering while she was singing to him but not Racquel. She was unbelievable. To this day I am in awe of her ability to be so calm during the worst day of her life.
I put on a Met hat in Pete’s honor and she whispered in his ear and told him and he literally tried to look at me even though he was so out of it. I said, “Pete you’re the only person I would ever do this for.”
That’s the one memory of that day that makes me smile.
During his last days before he took the turn for the worst he started wearing Yankee hats because he was so mad at the Mets and how badly they were playing. Heh. He would sit in bed and bitch about the Mets and how bad they were.
I miss Pete. I miss always seeing him when I went to Racquel’s house. Even two years later I find myself automatically looking into her parent’s room because he was always there. I miss the nights where Racquel and I would be in her living room singing at the top of lungs and he’d be standing there listening to us. I miss hearing him play his bongo drums. I miss the smell of motor oil (he was a mechanic). I miss hearing his laugh. He had a great laugh. I miss trying to figure out what he was saying (he tended to mumble) I miss my second daddy.

I decided to take the bus home last night for a change of pace and when I got on at 50th Street and 6th Avenue there was a boy/teenager who was physically handicapped in a motorized wheelchair towards the back of the bus. I ended up standing next to him for the first 5 minutes of the ride and then got the sideways facing seat right in front of him. I couldn’t help but keep my eye on him the entire time he was on to make sure he was okay because it was apparent he was alone. He was very skinny, his head was tilted back because he couldn’t move it, and he couldn’t close his mouth. But he seemed okay. He was looking around throughout the ride, as best as he could. The few times we made eye contact I smiled at him. The bus gets up to around 140th Street and Broadway and the bus driver makes her way to the back of the bus. It was his time to get off the bus. She said something to him and he responded. He waited for the lift, pressed the lever to direct the chair to the lift and as the lift descended I felt the tears building up behind my eyes and when I saw him make his way down the sidewalk alone the tears literally spilled out of them. I felt like the biggest moron. I mean he was independent obviously if he was riding a city bus but something about the whole situation upset me so badly. When I got home and told my mom the story I started blubbering again like an idiot.
What the hell is that about anyway? It was so embarrassing.
Chrispy is coming home Friday. Yay! Bad news is I may have to go to Long Island to see him. And no not a cool part of Long Island like the Hamptons or Fire Island, no I would be going to Bethpage. Yip to the ee.
Scratch that. He just emailed me; he may be coming into the city on Saturday night. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dodged that bullet. Phew.
Okay I need to go home and sit in fetal position. My period is not as light as I had hoped it would be now that I am on the pill again but it is a lot better than the previous six months. At least I was able to leave the house.

An All Star game without Derek Jeter is like a homemade porn video without Paris Hilton.
Um how much do I love Gary Sheffield? He basically said that if anyone on Boston decides to fuck with A Rod again he’d fuck em up.
Gary Sheffield is so badass.
Oh and remember what I said on 7/1 about people lining up and sucking my ass in regards to Jason Giambi? Yeah. It’s now 7/12 and his average is at .276. It was at .249 on 7/2. SUCK IT FUCKERS.
I went to the Stadium Thursday night, Saturday and Sunday. They won 2 out of the 3 games I attended, Jason homered in 2 out of those 3 games and the Yankees won the games he homered in. His stats were fucking SICK on this last home stand. He had a .556 BA. He was 10 for 18, 5 of them were HRs and he hit the SHIT out the ball on Sunday afternoon. It went two thirds of the way up the right field bleachers.
Goddamn!
It was a blast. That ball had a flight attendant on it.
God he’s so hot. I can’t take it.
Sorry.

And now Sandra Day O’Connor is stepping down? God help everyone with a uterus.

Man my right hip is killing me. I went a little crazy doing leg lifts with weights. Oops.
How is possible that “Jagged Little Pill” by Alanis Morissette was out 10 years ago? Seriously where the hell did the time go?
It’s so alarming how much faster the years go by as you age.
My arms are getting skinnier and I am noticing a difference in my shape yet I still weigh over 160. WHAT THE FUCK?
Yeah yeah muscle weighs more than fat. I don’t give a shit. And everyone always says, “But you’re tall!” Um so are supermodels yet they weigh 50 lbs less than I do.
I am going to my parents’ house this weekend because I don’t think I can handle a whole four day weekend on Thayer Street. We have off on Tuesday. Wooo. How cool is that? I think just about everyone I know has to work on Tuesday. I never have days off that other people don’t have off. It never happens that way.
The Daily News online is dumb. Their headline about Sandra Day O’Connor is O'Connor to retire from Supremes. When did she join the Supremes?
Jackasses.
By they way Jason Giambi for the month of June had a .310 batting average, .474 on base percentage and a .905 OPS. Now all he needs to do is starting hitting more extra base hits and increase his power numbers and then everyone on earth can come to my apartment, line up one by one and SUCK MY ASS.
Douchebags.
I actually cursed out everyone in Yankee Stadium on Sunday night when he hit the game-winning hit against the Mets. Assholes. Of course I was able to do it because my dad left early, otherwise I would have done it quietly. Hee.
Racquel and I had so much fun on Sunday. She was so funny. We were sitting there and she was thinking of sexual scenarios involving Giambi. Heh.
Grrrrr.
He’s so sweaty all the time, which is what she worked into one of them.
It was funny I said to her in the 4th inning that Giambi was going to win the game for the Yankees and when it happened I literally was hopping up and down like a moron. I can’t help myself. I do it in my apartment by myself. Sometimes I forget where I am.
We have an early release today of 3. We can leave at 2 if we want.
I think I am leaving at 2. I have a hair appointment at 3 but I’ll see if I can move it up.

I have no voice.
I found out this morning that I was going to the Yankee/Cub game. Wooo. I sat in the left field bleachers. It wasn't bad. It was strange having that view of the field. I'm so used to being the Upper Deck. Anywho. The game was great. The Yankees won their 5th in a row, their rookie pitcher Chen Mieng Wang pitched brilliantly AND Derek Jeter hit his first career Grand Slam. The best part of it was when I screamed out before he hit the Grand Slam, "Shut Michael Kay up!" Now if you're not a Yankee fan you're probably wondering "What the hell is she talking about?" I'll explain. Derek Jeter before today's game had the longest streak of at bats with the bases loaded without hitting a HR. In other words in his entire 10 year career he had never hit a Grand Slam HR and every fucking time he came up with the bases loaded Michael Kay (The Yankees' most annoying broadcaster) LOVED pointing that fact out. When he hit the ball we all jumped up and followed it's trajectory until it landed in front of us over the left center field wall. It was as if he hit a game winning walk off HR. We were all jumping up and down like idiots. Every Yankee fan in the Stadium today knew we witnessed a bit of history. With everything that Derek Jeter has accomplished in his career so far he never had a Grand Slam until 5:06pm ET this afternoon/evening. It was fucking awesome. Plus it shut the 8 billion Cubs fans up. Before the Grand Slam it was only a 3-1 game. Jeter made it 7-1 and then added a solo HR later in the game to make it 8-1.
It was kinda funny because when they announced the lineup and Giambi was missing I was PISSED. Derek saved the day for me.
Derek Jeter is the man.
Oh and by the way....I wore SPF 50. Yes they make 50 and I didn't burn. Yay!
I'm going tomorrow too. It's a Yankee weekend!
I wish I could be there everyday.

If you live in the greater New York area and you heard really loud screams of “OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!” at about 10:40p last night, it was me. And no I wasn’t having mind-blowing sex…it was the next best thing for me these days, it was Jason Giambi hitting a fucking bomb into the Upper Deck of Yankee Stadium last night to win the game 7-5 in the 10th inning.
He fucking CRUSHED it. I scared poor Henry. And DAMN did he look hot as hell when he flipped his bat. The morons at the Stadium had been booing him all night and when he hit the HR it was like, “Fuck you boo birds.” It happened on Tuesday night too. The assholes at the Stadium were chanting, “Tino, Tino” and Jason missed a HR by 6 inches and got a 2 RBI double.
Fucking idiots. And Yankee fans are shocked when other people hate them.
I hate them and I am one.
I was so happy last night. And to see the team that happy for him made me that much happier. The Yankee players aren’t stupid they know that if Jason Giambi is hitting they are a better team.
Derek Jeter looked like the cat that ate the canary while waiting for Giambi at home plate. Jeter apparently called the HR in the dugout while Jason was either in the on deck circle or at bat.
I watched every highlight of it. On NESN2, NESN2news, Baseball Tonight, I watched the replay of the game and was up until 2:30a. I know, I’m a loser but right now baseball is the only thing that makes me happy (besides the obvious family and friends answer). I don’t have a man I have 25 of them.
I bet his wife got the shit banged out of her after that game last night, lucky bitch.

Racquel’s brother’s ex has breast cancer. She’s my age. I was checked the other day and I’m fine but still. Breast cancer at 30? What the hell is going? And she’s one of those people who eat well, exercise, etc. I couldn’t even imagine getting that news. The good news is they caught it early and she should be fine.
I had a scare earlier. The elevator I was in decided it didn’t want to go to certain floors and went up and then down and then wouldn’t open and then just went straight down to the first floor. I won’t be getting in that elevator again today.
I forgot I have an appointment after work so I can’t go to the gym then. I think I will walk to my appointment and then go to the gym tomorrow morning. I have plans tomorrow night as well. It’s a girl’s night out. Yay!
I already feel and see a difference in my legs. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Congratulations to Alex Rodriguez on home run number 400. I almost turned the game off and decided at the last second to keep it on. Thank goodness I did. I would have been pissed if I had missed it. I’ve never been at a milestone game like that.
Tino Martinez was ejected from the game for basically telling the first base ump that he was an idiot. Brady Clark swung at strike three and the first base ump called it a check swing. Yeah check swing my ass. I felt the breeze from it here in New York. So Tino started barking at the ump and the ump threw him out almost immediately. Jackass. It was probably because he knew he made a mistake but didn’t want Tino to show him up.
Damn Tino looks hot when he’s all pissy.
Oh yeah did I mention they finally won a fucking game last night? I was a little uncomfortable watching it. I was convinced they’d find a way to screw it up. That’s how bad things have been lately.
And was Giambi playing? Of course not, he had back spasms. What a big back he has though. Grrrrr.
They have a day off today. I hate off days. What the hell am I supposed to watch?
Maybe I’ll watch that stupid “Hit me one more time” show my network is showing.

Sometimes I am so ashamed of being a Yankee fan and no, it’s not because the team is sucking ass of late, it’s because of the idiot members of the fan base. Christ some of these people are so dumb.

That’s a good thing.
What happened to spring? I don’t understand how it can go from 55 degrees to 95 degrees in 4 days. Motherfucker what the fuck?
I tricked my dad into getting me an air conditioner. Hee. We were on the phone last night and he says, “Why don’t you get an air conditioner?” I answered, “I’ve never had one before. I wouldn’t even know what to look for.” Which is true. I’ve never owned one. It’s the whole being allergic to cold thing. I really only want one to drown out the noise in my neighborhood.
So he’s picking one up for me this weekend. I am such a brat when I want to be but the man does owe me a 30th birthday present. Shit I’m almost 31 now.
Oh so it seems my toilet caused some damage to my downstairs neighbor’s bathroom ceiling. Part of me felt badly and the other part of me was like, “Good! Now someone else can know what it’s like to have ceilings falling down every fucking 6 months.”
I keep getting “fan mail” from male Red Sox fans. Maybe I should reconsider my policy of not dating Red Sox fans. Expand my horizons a bit. Hmmmmmm.
Well considering I’m not dating anyone I should do it.
I went to the gynecologist on Friday. Yeah that’s always a pleasant experience. Yikes. So far so good though. I had her feel around in there because of my period problems of late, I was afraid of a fibroid problem or something like that. She said everything felt fine. And I’m starting the pill again, which is good because I plan on becoming a whore this summer. So at least pregnancy won’t be a fear of mine. I went to a new doctor. She was cool.
But whoever invented the speculum should be shot. OW.
Oh everyone must go here http://www.nomaas.org Very funny shit.

When I have food in front of me, don’t ask me to do anything because I won’t do it. I don’t get paid for my lunch hour so I don’t work during lunch. It’s that fucking simple. And don’t ever ask me to look for something when I am reading a magazine and PMSing at the same time. Nothing sets me off more. Fuck you this is my time.
Thanks.
OH MY GOD GO AWAY.
I think I’m going to go outside for my last ten minutes because I am ready to scream.
Fucking dillholes.
Ugh.
I’m going to wear a sign that says, “Out to lunch, be back at 1”
Assholes.
Wow I am in a BAD mood. Maybe that’s because I was up until 2:30am and then was woken up at 4:15 by my fucking cats.
Oh and maybe it had something to do with the fact that some sort of construction work was being done on the corner across the street from my building from 1:30am until I was able to fall asleep. Last night I wish I had a gun.

I’m seeing Sting next Friday at Jones Beach. WOOOOOOOO. I’m going to have to take the LIRR to get out there. That should be an adventure. I’ve only taken the LIRR one other time and I was with someone who knew where they were going. Should be interesting. I heard something about the train not stopping at a certain stop, which is the stop, I’d have to go to or something.
The plan is for me to take the train to Lynbrook which is where Racquel’s brother lives and then we’d go to Jones Beach from there.
I am obsessed with “Hold Back the Rain” by Duran Duran. OBSESSED. I love it. I forgot how much I loved the Rio album.
Our stations suck and cause me nothing but aggravation.
So do the Yankees. I was actually physically ill after Sunday’s loss. Thank God I gave those tickets away.
I have tickets for this Sunday but it’s Mother Day’s. I want to go but I need one more person to go with me. Hmmmmmmmm.
STING! YAY! 14th row front and center. Sigh.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I hope I don’t freeze.
My coworker Raquel who won me the passes to meet Duran Duran in October just won passes to see and meet Dave Matthews. She’s freaking out. She had us all calling for tickets at one point. Heh. Hey she won me the Duran Duran thing so I had to at least try. I suck at calling up radio stations. I hardly ever get through.
What the hell is going on with Paula Abdul? Good lord.
I’m very excited my hair is growing again. It’ll probably be as long as it was last year at it’s longest by August instead of October like last year. Does that make any sense? Anyway, I like myself with long hair. I can hide my face.
Heh.
I was a good girl and put make up on this morning and I am wearing a pink, girly tunic. I’ve gotten many compliments.
It’s nice to get compliments every once in a while.

Okay I have to mention this because I nearly fell off my chair when I found out about it last night but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are dating?
Um what? How the hell did that happen?
Wow that came out of leftfield.
I still can’t make sense of it. I’m in shock. Tom Cruise? Katie Holmes? What? Something doesn’t compute.
I mean who knows maybe they’ll date for a while but … I just … oh forget it I can’t even talk about it.
Here’s another newsworthy item, Curt Schilling and Lou Piniella’s war of words. Someone needs to stick Schilling’s bloody sock in his mouth. He has to have an opinion on everything. I am so glad he’s not on the Yankees. Just shut up and pitch. Oh wait you can’t pitch you’re on the DL.
Good lord.
I am laughing at all of the Katie Couric is a diva stories that are coming out lately. That’s what happens when you pay someone 65 million dollars! I’d be a diva too!
I was sort of invited to go out to Lake Havasu in Arizona in June. Should I go? Hmmmmmm.
Decisions, decisions. Of course that means I’d have to lose 20 lbs in a month instead of two. I would have to work out everyday twice a day to do that and I am not disciplined enough.
Oh here’s a big thank you to Dick Ebersol who got so fed up with our elevator situation that he got the two annoying floors eliminated from our elevator bank! The first elevator bank is 1-16 and has 8 cars; our bank was 14-26 with 4 cars. 14, 15 and 16 were crossover floors so you could get to the other side of the building. For some inexplicable reason they added 11 and 12 to our bank like 6-9 months ago. Well it’s been a real pain in the ass for us unlucky people at the top. Especially when the douche bags would take the elevator to get from 11 to 12 (use the stairs assholes) so Mr. Ebersol complained to the right people and in 6 weeks 11 and 12 will be switched over the elevator bank they should have been in, in the first place!
I was so happy last night when we got the memo.
Of course the elevators will still be slow because USA and Sci Fi moved into our building and there’s an extra 700 people using FOUR elevators. I guess that will be the next hurdle to jump.
Then again I may not be here to see it. I am applying for a new job elsewhere.
Shhhhhhhhhhh keep it on the DL. And cross your fingers. It’s a great opportunity for me.
Back to work!

Wow my jaw is killing me today. I did have four wisdom teeth ripped out of my mouth I was bound to have pain at some point. I had been pretty good since Saturday. I think my sinus pain is making my jaw pain worse. I took two Advil. I was going to take my happy painkiller that makes me high as a kite but I am starting to feel better on just the Advil. The painkiller makes me a little too loopy for work.
Then again work is really pissing me off today maybe I should take the pill. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.
Now I know why my friend was hooked on Xanax, everything is a little better when you’re high on drugs.
I had a guy staring at the twins today the entire ride from 145th street to 59th street. He wasn’t shy about blatantly staring at them either. And I didn’t really care. I know they’re nice. I’m not going to get pissy because my girls fascinate a man to the point where he’s falling all over the place when the train pulls out of the station. And he was cute so that also helped. Heh.
If he were a short, ugly troll I would have been pissy. I am so superficial.
Speaking of superficial hot damn Jason Giambi looks good this year. The team is playing like shit but who cares…his ass looks GOOD.
Kidding.
I’m not going to panic 15 games into the season. If they’re still shitty at the end of June, then I’ll panic.
I’ve been a fan of baseball too long and have seen too many weird things happen. It ain’t over til it’s over.
Someone please tell me why I found it necessary to buy a pair of $186 jeans last night?
WHY???!?!?!!
Dumbass.
A friend of mine from college let me know that if he wins the $205 million Mega Millions jackpot that he will give me a $1 million. WOOOOOOOOOO! How cool is that? I told him I’d do the same if I win.
Please God. I want to quit my job and do nothing for the next year. Well not “nothing”, I want to write.
Thanks.
It’s almost time for me to rinse my mouth out with warm salty water. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
My stress ball Account Manager is going on vacation next week so he is being a major pain in the ass today. I may be arrested for assault at some point.
I am wearing a lot of makeup today. Every time I look in the mirror I take a double take. I look so different. I did a pretty good job.
At least I think I did.
My babies were very cute this morning. Jack was lounging on the bathmat while I was applying my makeup this morning. Henry was out in the hallway.

Duran Duran at MSG tonight! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’m so excited. I’d be more excited if I didn’t literally get my period a half hour ago. Fucking uterus. It wasn’t bad enough that I missed two days of work last week because I had the worst migraine of my life and I was nauseous. But now I have to be crampy and bleeding at the Duran Duran concert. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
Britney Spears won’t be crampy and bleeding for a while but she will be getting a pregnant belly. I fear for that child. Her husband will have 3 kids under the age of 4 when the demon spawn is born. Frightening.
What a mooch. Britney is an idiot. So is Kevin Federline and together, they’re Toxic.
I went out after work last night. It was a lot of fun and it was unexpected so that made it better.
I have the concert tonight and I am also going out tomorrow night to watch the Yankee/Sox game at the Park Avenue Country Club. I heard it’s a good place to watch a game.
No going out plans for Friday night because I have oral surgery on Saturday morning, God help me. I’m finally getting the wisdom teeth taken out. All four in one shot. I’m getting anxious about it now. I hope the drugs are good and I have no idea what’s happening. Oy.

Opening day is supposed be an afternoon game not a night game. And Opening Day isn't supposed to be stressful. I usually have a good time at Opening Day because the Yankees usually play a team like the Devil Rays. It's not intense; it's just good to be back at the Stadium. Tonight, right off the bat I will be subjected to asshole Red Sox fans. Yippee, great. Please God make it start raining right now and not stop until about 1:00am just to screw up ESPN plans.
Please please please please.

I'm trying to figure out what to wear. I will have to wear about 80 layers and pray that it's not as windy as they say it's going to be or I will be in trouble.

So I was on Long Island this morning for a Bar Mitzvah. It was very interesting. I tried to follow along with the service but it was hard. Although I did recognize a lot of the words which I found amusing.
My second cousin did a wonderful job reciting the prayers. I was proud of him and it was good seeing that side of the family. I don't see them as often as I would like.
It was a simple luncheon afterwards. They are having the big party in October.
My uncle Chris asked my least favorite question, "Are you dating anyone?" And I said, "No." So he said, "How can you not have a boyfriend? You're beautiful!" Thank you Uncle Chris. I was feeling like shit the past few weeks. Thank you for stroking my ego.
Although I did look nice. I had my hair done last night, I wore makeup and not just lipstick. I wore foundation primer, concealer, powder/blusher, eyeliner and eye shadow. My mom was impressed. Heh. Oh and I got a manicure.
Ever since my trip to Tampa where I bought over $200 worth of makeup from Bobbi Brown I have been on a makeup kick which is good I guess, good for the ego bad for the wallet.

Work was weird. My account manager was stressed out and I was the one trying to get him to calm down. It's usually the other way around. And I did a lot of work today. It was a nice buys. Not a stressful or crazy busy.
I came home to see a sign hanging up in our vestibule saying that someone in our building was robbed. Nice.
My cousin said we don't have to worry with our little lions Jack and Henry. They'll tear intruders apart. Ha.
Yeah right. Henry runs away at every little noise and Jack will just rub up against the robber's legs.
So it seems a group of Boston Red Sox fans want to boycott the new Jimmy Fallon movie because he's playing Red Sox fan but he's not a Red Sox fan....um....people play gay people in movies and they're not gay. Stop fucking complaining you ass clowns. Your team won the World Series for the first time since Jesus was a baby and you're complaining about shit like this?
Someone brought up Ben Affleck playing a Yankee fan in a movie and how I would probably boycott it but that's not true. I would love for Ben Affleck to play a Yankee fan in a movie because I know he would be tortured having to wear a Yankee hat. Jackass that he is.
I am watching Game 4 of the 1996 World Series. Ah memories.
I just want baseball season to start already. I want to be able to come home from work and watch baseball every night.
Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so.
A bunch of us are going out tomorrow night for a coworker's going away party. He's moving to Dallas.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Jack and Henry are fighting.
Have I discussed Barry Bonds's pathetic display yet?
What a douche.
Yeah Barry the media rubbed the cream on you and the media caused you to cheat on your wife. I hope he just goes away and doesn't have a chance to pass Ruth's Home Run total or Aaron's home run record.
I'm glad he's making himself look like such an ass. It takes some of the heat off Giambi. Heh.
I am getting my highlights retouched and lightened in a week. Woooooooo!
It's time for Jimmy Leyritz's game tying Home Run.
"In the air to left field at the track at the wall we are tied"

I recommend going to Tampa for Spring Training if you're a Yankee fan. It's something you need to experience at least once in your life. I now plan on going every year.
I loved it.
God is it possible that I like Mariah Carey's new song? Okay my brain is still on vacation.
I was informed that I might be going to the Hamptons with Chrispy when he returns to New York in July. Okay now I really have a fitness goal. I am NOT going to the Hamptons with my ass at it's current size. I will be 25 lbs thinner if it fucking kills me. I got hot Hamptons men to flirt with damn it.
Back to Spring Training. Jason Giambi looks good and no I don't mean in my usual "OH MY GOD I LUST HIM" kinda way. He looks good at the plate again, he's not swinging at crappy pitches, his bat speed is back and he hit a HR for me on Friday night. That HR was worth the hives that broke out all over my body from the cold that night.
And now for my "OH MY GOD I LUST HIM" review. Jesus Mary and Joseph he looks good again. His big broad back, his tight ass, thick legs....excuse me. Ahem. DAMN. He looks really really really good. And being that close was AWESOME. I took a really good action shot of him with my camera phone and he is now my cell phone wallpaper. Hee.
He was 3 for 4 in the two games I saw with a single, double and HR, and all of them were hit hard. It was great to see.
It was also great to hear the support he was getting from Yankee fans.
Now I was a little disappointed to not get close enough to lick his forearm but next year I will damn it!
Heh.
By the way people in Florida cannot drive to save their lives...
Oh so I was stuck in the DMV for three hours the day before I left for Tampa and I was hanging out with Judah Frielander a comedian who sometimes appears on Best Week Ever on VH1. He was cool. He's the dude who wears the trucker hat and big ass glasses. He dresses like that in real life. I saw him and was like, "Holy shit!" And then he ended up sitting behind me. We started talking while we were waiting for our numbers to come up on the board. He was cool.

I am on a Soundgarden kick these last few days. The Rock channel played "Blow Up the Outside World" the other day and I caught the end of it. I was like, "Oh my God I loved that song!!" So when I went into work on Monday I downloaded the song onto my computer and when I heard it again I thought myself, "Damn Chris Cornell's voice is sexy."
Especially when he sings the chorus of "Blow Up the Outside World"
I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world
Oy.
Damn he also sounds really sexy in "Pretty Noose"
"And I don't like what you got me hanging from..."
On Monday afternoon I got all excited because my "Down Under" by Men At Work ringtone went off which only means one thing, Chrispy was calling! So I pick up and he says, "I'm coming to New York." And in my head I'm saying, "Please don't say St patty's Day." And he says it. I was so bummed! I'm going to Tampa that day to stalk my boys.
But Chrispy is flying back to LA on Monday the 21st and I am flying back from Tampa on Sunday afternoon so hopefully we can meet up Sunday night.
I told him I'll try to make it out to LA for Cinco de Mayo.
Heh.
He didn't sound that good on the phone. I know he's been working a lot and he's probably still bummed about his recent breakup but still, I worry.
This cold weather is killing me. I was breaking out worse than ever. I had hives on my head and scalp. I was like, "MOTHERFUCKER WHAT THE FUCK?"
I may go out to visit Chrispy and not come back.
I was invited to a family Bar Mitzvah which cracks me up because I'm Catholic and have never set foot in a Temple.
It's April 2nd in Freeport which is on Long Island.

Jason Giambi says he's not worried about his results at the plate this early in the spring, which is a good thing because they weren't particularly encouraging yesterday.
Um this is one of the most ridiculous sentences I have ever seen written.

Okay I MUST MUST MUST talk about the Grammys and you know where I am starting. I have to talk about the performance that I was waiting for with baited breath, Mr. and Mrs. Jennifer Lopez's performance.
I have to say it wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be. It was bad but I was really hoping for a bad voice crack by Jenny and it didn't happen so I was a little disappointed. And what was with the whole "novella" theme? Please. Was that to distract us from the fact that Jenny CANNOT SING TO SAVE HER LIFE?
How dare she share the same stage with Alicia Keys!!! Jennifer has some nerve.
Damn did Alicia Keys kick ass or what? And Jaime Foxx? Wow I was actually impressed. That man has some talent.
Um Rob Thomas with a buzz cut? Me likee, me likee a lot.
Oh God I am watching "Extra" and they're interviewing Marc Anthony and he's talking about his wife and how the album they're recording together will truly show how she is as an artist. Um PUKE.

A message to the sportswriters in New York: BITE ME
Why is so hard to understand that Jason Giambi CANNOT comment on the ON GOING BALCO trial you stupid fucks? I already wrote a heated letter to the NY Post who has the audacity to have people writing about how horrible Jason Giambi is. You’re the worst rag in the country this side of the Enquirer and the Star. Assholes.
Oh and could Giambi’s wife look more pissed off? Heh. Sweetie, you may be mad that he’s putting you through this stuff but for crissakes take your hand out of your pocket and hold his hand. Be supportive in public even if you want to strangle him. And what are you so upset about? If you guys divorce you’re getting half of his money. Shit, lighten up!
And wear better clothes. A Velour suit? I have no fashion sense at all but I at least know that a purple velour suit looks hella tacky.
Wear a nice conservative dress or even a regular pants suit.
Okay enough about her, let’s talk about him, DAMN he’s big again.
Spring training is going to be AWESOME!
Woo!
Someone sent an email about an audition to be on a reality show about Ultimate Yankee fans that go to every single game of the 2005 season. I’d have to quit my job to do it. Hmmmmmm. Could you imagine? I don’t know if I’d want to go to Fenway though. Bleh.
And I’ll have to cancel my trip to Cooperstown this summer because that fucking disgusting bloody sock is on display.
Bleh to that too.
My dad is so terrible. He read an article in a local Florida newspaper about a couple who renewed their wedding vows on their 40th anniversary and then the wife passed away 10 days later so he calls out to my mom after reading the article, “Diane you wanna get remarried?” Ass.
Oh how could I forget to mention this? We got this email from our manager on Wednesday saying that we have to get his permission to work OT. I guess that’s fine. But I found out the real scoop why that happened. It seems two of my coworkers doubled their salaries by working tons of OT. So instead of making 40k they made close to 80k. Um what? I almost fainted. And on top of all of that overtime they used car service to get home a lot. And that cost the company a lot of money
Now me, being the dumbass that I am, didn’t put in a lot of the OT I worked because I felt bad. Yeah I know. And my supervisor actually said something about that fact and stood up for me. (Shocker)
I am really pissed off about that. Double their salary!?

Word is Jason Giambi is ten pounds heavier going into Spring Training.
Woo.
I think he’s supposed to “speak” with the media tomorrow. I don’t know what he can say since what came out about him taking steroids was leaked Grand Jury testimony but we’ll see.
I really hate Red Sox fans. I’m serious. They’re all idiots. 2004 is over bitches. You got your one championship.
So our Providence station took us out to dinner last night. We went to a place called Dos Caminos. Best guacamole I have ever had in my life.
They have a $125 shot of Tequila. We were tempted to get it but didn’t.
The Margaritas were so strong, my manager was sitting next to me and he took a sip of his and he said, “This is going to get ugly really quickly.”
HA.
It didn’t though. I did finish my one margarita. And was feeling happy for a while. Thank God I didn’t make any drunk phone calls or send out drunken emails.
Heh.
The dinner kicked ass. We ate a lot. It was very good. The only downside was that our table was right near the kitchen and my clothes smelled like Mexican food when I woke up this morning. My room reeked.
Bleh.
I ended up taking a cab to 34th and 8th Avenue and hopped on the A train to get home. We were on the East side and I didn’t have enough money to take the cab all the way home. It’s so damn expensive. I felt bad for anyone who sat next to me last night. I smelled like Mexican steak. Heh.
One of my coworkers gave me a health supplement to help me get rid of my never ending cold. It’s annoying me now. I’d like to have one morning when I wake up without one nostril being plugged up. Is that too much to ask?
I was thinking of maybe doing something for my parents’ 35th anniversary. Maybe I could arrange a dinner gathering somewhere? I have no idea what to do. I am so bad at things like that.
I hate when people are walking down the hall on a cell phone and they suddenly start talking when they get to your cubicle and you turn around thinking they’re talking to you.
A note to my fellow New Yorkers: It is impossible to walk and read a newspaper at the same time, so why try it?
Another note to my fellow New Yorkers: It is also impossible to look down at your Ipod, press a button and walk at the same time, so why try it?
Asses.
I’m always stuck behind idiots doing both of those things.
I cannot take it anymore.
The heat was back on in the apartment again! Woo! I was able to shower at home. Isn’t that lovely?
The heat is back just in time for another cold spell.
I’m trying to decide if I want to wear all black on Black Monday or if I want to shock everyone and actually wear red. We’ll see how I feel on that morning.
I’m guaranteeing that I will be extremely pissed off and upset that I am alone AGAIN and I will want to shove random people into oncoming traffic because I am like that every Valentine’s day, like clockwork.
I am already feeling the affects of it. Seeing couples holding hands is making me sick. Thinking about how people are going to get flowers on Monday and how I’m not getting anything is making me sick. The fact that I was stupid enough to think I would have had a Valentine last year and this year is making me sick.
Work is pissing me off because the people I work with are idiots (outer office people)
Oh yes, Happy Ash Wednesday to my fellow Catholics out there. I didn’t even bother trying to go to St Patrick’s Cathedral today. It’s like a mob scene there between 12 and 2. I’ll go to my local parish to get ashes.
I am giving up sunflower seeds and I am giving up Cucina (a food place downstairs). We’ll see how long I last.
I was going to give up the Internet but since that is my only source of a social life since I never see my friends anymore I decided against it.
I would go insane if I didn’t get to go onto the Internet.
I am not in the mood to be here at all. Certain people are really making me angry.
And I hate winter because everyone is sick with either a cough that doesn’t go away or a cold that doesn’t go away. All I hear are people clearing their throats, drinking their snot…. it’s making me ill.
Okay time to get back to being annoyed.
Whenever someone asks me what I do for a living that’s what my answer is, “I get annoyed everyday.”
Pathetic.

Okay how come people say to me, “Behave” when I tell them I am going to Tampa for Spring Training? What are people expecting me to do down there? I am always well behaved around the Yankees. Good lord. It’s not like I’m suddenly going to become a baseball groupie and try and sleep with all of them…wait what the hell am I saying? Is that a bad thing? Kidding.
I swear I’m kidding. I’m a good girl.
One of my coworkers was promoted to National Sales Manager of our Philadelphia station. We found out last night.
And his wife just had a baby recently so double whammy!
Word is Tino Martinez and Jorge Posada are already working at the Yankee facility in Tampa. Aw yeah.
I am so excited for this season you have no idea. I want to get the bitter memories of last year’s nightmare out of my head. Fuck 2004.
Thanks to last year I developed a twitch that occurs when someone says the word “choke” and it can be in any context. Say choke and I am twitching like a mad woman. It really sucks. And when I go to Spring Training, if I am lucky enough to talk to any of the Yankees I will tell them what they did to me. Bastards.
I made a new Duran Duran mix on my computer. Hee. Because I can never get enough of Duran Duran.
If the heat and hot water don’t come back soon I am driving out to the management company’s offices in Great Neck and beating the piss out of them. Stupid motherfuckers. It’s supposed to be getting cold again. Assholes.
There is nothing better than being with you and I’m feeling so nice. There is nowhere better than here with you and it’s feeling so nice.
Sorry. Simon Le Bon grabbed my keyboard (I WISH).
I booked my flights to and from Tampa. $163 round trip on Song (Delta). Not bad.
I spoke with mommy yesterday. She is in Florida with my dad and uncle now. My dad’s been down there a month!
This should get him in good with my mom for at least a year.
And their 35th wedding anniversary is coming up.
Wow.
Okay time to work again. Bleh.
