i was just mistakenly delivered mail for the lead singer of My Morning Jacket. it reminded me to spotify their album Evil Urges. nice.

I agree with the Yankee-loving flashmob in Union Square, but I keep my celebration on the inside.

Grossed out by this carpeted grocery store. Doesn’t feel right under foot. And spilled milk stays there forever. http://pic.gd/ae80d6

Wish this World Series would end already so I could stop doing two things I hate- going to bars whilst not drinking, and watching sports.

I thought that watching Helvetica, the documentary about a font, would help me fall asleep. Instead, I’m staying up to watch it…

Recapping my day: Didn’t go running, do crunches, or any other exercise. Did eat a burger. And fries. And a shake. Today was a good day.

Did someone actually make a Mani/Pedi iPhone game? I think a girl on my train was just playing it. Bonus points for bedazzling!

In addition to always having a full roll of Certs mints in my pocket, I like to keep one individually wrapped Cert.  That way, if I want to have a mint while other people are around me, I can pull out the single one and pop it in my mouth without feeling like I need to offer any to my friends.  They’ll think it was my last one.

Can’t believe I just wasted two good nipple band-aids for that pathetic three mile jog.

I find it annoying when people don’t know how to shop Trader Joes properly.

My trader joes list is organized exactly by order of occurence. I get in line with cart and get items as I pass them while in line.

I’m looking at the worst murse on some dude’s shoulder. I don’t hate the idea of the man purse, although I don’t know what I would carry.

a good streetfight (not involving myself) is my favorite thing about nyc! http://bit.ly/gna10

While I was working at the door last night, a cute-ish girl punched me. That was a first.

Every government employee I’ve interacted with in this Social Security office today has been mean and useless. Time to privatize everything!

And, the guy in line ahead of me wants to change his full name to “Banks”. That’s dumb. Now he’s just wasting my time.
