Movie Etiquette

Stupid People

Tweet Yesterday, I took Emily to the movies to see How To Train Your Dragon. I really wanted to see Date Night, but Emily wanted to see this so we went. The theater was surprisingly packed considering how nice it was out. The movie was great. Really great. It would have been more great if…

Girl Code

pissed_off

Tweet There is this thing….it is an unwritten rule of law between women.  If one girl is interested in a guy, no other friends are to approach him, talk to him, make a move on him, etc. Most respectable women abide by this cardinal rule.  Others, just simply don’t seem to care.  It wasn’t until…

Lucky Cat Tattoos: MAJOR #fail. Twice.

Tweet For those of you that have followed my blog for a while might remember in March when I went to get a tattoo on my wrist as a tribute to Harry.  I had “designed” it myself, although it was quite simple:  a big bold “lmL” with the words “Forever in my heart 8.11.76-1.22.09″ underneath…

The First First Date

Tweet I went out  to lunch on Thursday with a guy, my first “date” since Harry passed away. It just made me realize how much I miss him and how we were perfect together.  I was not looking to be dating yet, but was contacted via Facebook by this guy who I had gone to…

Who knows SEO & Google PR?

Tweet This site has been live for 4 months.  I use the All-in-One SEO Pack plugin on WordPress which I believe is working fairly well except for the fact that I still have a Google Page Rank of 0.  Can anyone explain why this may be? Also, it says I need to have a redirect…

An Open Letter to Kanye West

Tweet Dear Kanye, I forgave you when you had a hissy fit at the Grammy’s in 2004 claiming you were robbed of the Best New Artist award. Everyone has a bad day.  I forgave you in 2005 when you said “George Bush doesn’t like black people” during the Katrina Benefit.  Partially because I really disliked…

Cash4Gold: A Deal or a Dupe?

Tweet You’ve all seen the commercials.  They will send you an envelope for you to send back your gold jewelry and you will get a check back for them!  Sounds too good to be true. And according to reports, it is! First of all, why would anyone send expensive jewelry via UPS with insurance of…

MetLife Dental: Yet Another Fail

Tweet I know this is Wordless Wednesday and all, but I needed to get this off my chest.  I have had MetLife Dental for over a year now.  I pay approximately $20/month through COBRA for coverage.  Since I signed up last June, I have only used a dental service three times. The first time I…

For All the Auto-DM Haters…

Tweet After I reached a certain number of followers on Twitter, I started to use SocialOomph‘s Auto-DM tool.  I now send this direct message to all new followers: “Hi! Thanks for following. Are you as twaddicted as me? You can read my story at <blog link>. What’s your story?#stinkytweet“ There are many reasons to send…

Lemon Tree: Epic Fail

Tweet I had decided last week that I wanted to do something different with my hair. I hadn’t colored it in about 2 years and I needed a cut. Being the frugal one I have become lately, I went to Lemon Tree instead of going to a salon that would charge more than I could…

Jon and Kate Ratings Down…Does Anyone Still Care?

Tweet Jon and Kate Plus 8 returned last night after a hiatus following the separation of Jon and Kate.  Ratings are down 61%. Via UsWeekly: After a month-long hiatus, last night’s back-to-back episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 brought in less than half the audience of the show’s previous episode, which earned a record-breaking…

Jon & Kate Plus HATE

Tweet So I haven’t blogged about this whole subject, but I feel that I just MUST. I have been a fan of Jon & Kate Plus 8 since the first show, when the sextuplets were little babies.  So, of course, I’ve been reading all the news lately about their divorce. I’ve watched Kate be a…

My trip to see DMB on The Today Show #fail

Tweet I attended the Today Show this morning to see DMB perform live.  I knew as this was a free show and first come, first serve, that I would need to get there early.   I arrived at 12:50am and there was already a crowd on line, camped out. There were 110 people in front…

My New Obnoxious Neighbors and a Sudsy Bathroom

Tweet When the Peruvians moved out, I never thought I’d miss them. That was until this new family moved in. No, they aren’t from Peru, but they certainly arent the brightest bulbs on the tree. Now that I’ve met Harry, I hardly ever stay at my apartment anymore. I’m there maybe once or twice a…

An Open Letter to Pep Boys

Tweet Dear Pep Boys Management, I visited your Port Jefferson, NY store at around 6pm on Friday, November 18, 2005. I had hit a pothole earlier in the week and needed a wheel alignment. Upon entering the service area, I encountered another customer who was there to pick up his vehicle. The service associate, Brian,…

The bastard peruvians still haunt me.

Tweet They may have moved out, but I still feel their presence. They didn’t change their address with the post office and ALL of their mail still comes to the house. What the hell is wrong with these people? Before they left, he asked me to leave any mail that came outside my door and…

I hate Cablevision.

Tweet They suck.  Really, they do.  The are a complete monopoly. Yes, you could get Direct TV or another satellite provider, but I heard that it cuts out in bad weather. There is no other company that offers high speed cable internet or  cheaper phone service on Long Island.  DSL does not compare. Cablevision knows…

The Peruvians are moving!!

Tweet Oh my god.  This is the best news I’ve gotten since I moved into this apartment.  The landlord just called me to let me know that they are closing on their house next week. Finally, a non-smelly apartment and some peace and freakin quiet. He said that they are leaving next week but he…

I should buy stock in earplugs.

Tweet Another party upstairs. Doors slamming, people jumping. You know, a normal Saturday night at my house. But, it gets worse. They’re playing Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind” so loud that I feel it pulsating thorough my body. What is wrong with these people? A few songs ago it was “We Built this City”…

Bastard Peruvians. Move out NOW!

Tweet I hate them. I’m really a very nice person. I do not often use the word hate. But I HATE them. The come home at 4:30am and stomp up the stairs and wake me up. Then, at 9am, bang on my door and wake me up again. Do these people not sleep? Who bangs…

Ticketmaster sucks.

Tweet So, the Dave Festival goes onsale today at 12noon. What time was I refreshing my screen from? 11:50am. What time did the screen pop up? 12:10pm. All I could get was lawn seats. But, they shouldn’t call it lawn “seats”. We aren’t even allowed to bring chairs. its more like lawn “standing” in a…
