For my annual thanksgiving this year, we are gonna get a christmas tree. And I had this idea that everyone who comes will make an ornament to put on it. Now I know where I am going to get everything I need!

You know, they never actually check that shit and when they do, you say, “oh god, I didn’t realize!” and pay the difference. Sometimes I buy the senior citizen tickets at the kiosk.

Kitty waits patiently for me to finish my bowl of cereal so she can have the leftover milk.

Awwwww, I love Nala. (This is also the cat I almost killed on Labor Day weekend. She took a dog treat out of my hand and choked for about 5 minutes! I am a bad bad cat whisperer!!!!)

I didn't have to be Mayor to get a free drink at Destination.

Last night, during the last 20 minutes of the yankees game, I got locked in the bathroom at Destination. I called everyone I knew and no one would answer their phones!

So I started banging on the door and calling out to people, but everyone was watching the game. Finally, someone heard me and Josh the bartender came and tried to get me out.

The whole thing was pretty hilarious and hopefully they fixed the door.

Do Yankees fans exist?

I must have seen hundreds of people while riding the subway and catching the train to Grand Central. Many of them were wearing hats. Here’s what I saw: - 2 Yankees hats - 1 Mets hat - 1 Cleveland Indians hat - 2 Red Sox hats (my own excluded) - 1 Red Sox 2007 World Champions hat Hats aside, I saw ONE guy wearing a Yankees jacket. For a team that claims to have lots of “true fans,” I’m finding it hard to believe when you can’t even tell the day after you win the freaking World Series.

Would you like some cheese with your w(h)ine?

The more you know...(about tetanus)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:12:02 -0500

adeandabet:

So I cleaved the tip of my thumb with a guillotine-style paper cutter (see here):

The instrument being metal, my first thought after controlling the bleeding went to tetanus. I’m pretty sure I’m up on my vaccinations, but when I thought about the association of tetanus with rust and metal (think of how many times you were warned as a kid to avoid “rusty nails” because of their risk of tetanus), I became curiously skeptical. I know you receive vaccinations for tetanus, and as far as I know (please correct me if I’m wrong) vaccines only work to prevent or cure diseases caused by biological pathogens (i.e. viruses and bacteria and not elemental or compound toxins like lead or cyanide). It then struck me as odd that a particular bacteria (ruled out virus as it doesn’t fit the profile) would adhere particularly to oxidized materials (rust). So, Wikipedia has dispelled the myth for me:

“Tetanus is often associated with rust, especially rusty nails, but this concept is somewhat misleading. Objects that accumulate rust are often found outdoors, or in places that harbor anaerobic bacteria, but the rust itself does not cause tetanus nor does it contain more C. tetani bacteria. The rough surface of rusty metal merely provides a prime habitat for a C. tetani endospore to reside, and the nail affords a means to puncture skin and deliver endospore into the wound. An endospore is a non-metabolising survival structure that begins to metabolise and cause infection once in an adequate environment. Because C. tetani is an anaerobic bacterium, it and its endospores survive well in an environment that lacks oxygen. Hence, stepping on a nail (rusty or not) may result in a tetanus infection, as the low-oxygen (anaerobic) environment is provided by the same object which causes a puncture wound, delivering endospores to a suitable environment for growth.”

So there you have it. Maybe you all already knew this, but I found it interesting…

Also re: my doctor….tetanus shots are only preventative, it’s worthless to get them after.

I totally forgot about the unexpected free condom giveaway on Halloween.

(Ahem. You’re welcome!)

I always give away rubbers and lube at parties. Remember, kids - no glove, no love.

It was recently pointed out to me that those condoms are on the “small side” and uncomfortable to wear. Any chance we can get some NYC magnum condoms??

I second this. All you crazy mofos can get your Christmas on when it’s December 1st. Maybe I’ll even give you Thanksgiving. But for now? STFU.

Well, I definitely noticed the Christmas decorations down Grand Street outside my apartment last week….

The Best Winter Running Shoes - Gear Advice

The Best Winter Running Shoes - Gear Advice :

johncarney:

So I did a lot of distance running this summer. It was the first time I’d done any serious running since I was hit by a minivan in early 2007.

I was pleased with the results. I got up to the point where I could run over 9 miles and my speed was getting better. I was also able to forego wearing a knee brace, which is a major physical and psychological accomplishment.

This fall I slacked off on my runs to the point where I stopped altogether. Today I decided I’m going to start again tomorrow. But I took one look at my old running shoes and realized I had really torn the crap out of them this summer. They definitely need to be replaced.

I know a bunch of my fellow Tumblr’s are pretty serious runners. I’m hoping you can recommend some shoes to me, preferably ones that will work well in increasingly inclimate weather.

Also, I know I let everyone down with the media boxing league. Once I’m up and running again for a couple of weeks, I’ll start collecting names and trying to set something up at the boxing gym so we can finally get Media Fight Club started.

I always go to Jack Rabbits on 14th Street. They have me on file and I am in and out in under 5 minutes. They tell me what shoe and size I always buy. I love them. I just bought a new pair of asics and looking to get motivated for some running. Hitting Central Park after work since I am headed uptown later.

Typical. And why one person in my life has been on my shit list.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:09:00 -0500

I hate flaky people. What a huge fucking disappointment when someone you’re close to constantly makes promises and breaks them. I seriously have no fucking use for this shit and my temper has been really hard to control around this person. So I have been doing my own thing.

I don’t want to talk to this person for like a week. I am not a fan right now and I am afraid I am going to say something really mean.

I am so mad right now.

I think it’s funny we went as the same costume! I did it because my mom dragged me there this summer and mostly to be ironic. (I am seriously not that patriotic.)

Who has my flip flops? Seriously?

There’s a funny story behind this costume. I had to transport this costume through Huckleberry Bar and throw it over the fence into the backyard. It wouldn’t fit down our narrow hall!

Sexy people.

I didn’t really have a costume, so when asked I responded with a Mean Girls line: “I’m a mouse… duh.”

But fucking check out Jenna’s costume. Hilarious. And Alice is the only person I know who can turn a bedsheet into hotness. I just got home. What a night!

My coworker just asked me who the hot girl in the pink dress is.

I had no idea there was a Lewis Street in Manhattan. This is where it is. Lord, you were practically in Williamsburg!

Nothing like waking up on a Sunday wrapped in a sheet. Saturday night was ridiculously fun and our apartment was PACKED!

Tonight I am going to a dinner party where Turducken will be served. Then later I am collecting on a bet I won because the Yankees won last night, still trying to finalize the terms.
