A Day of Advances and Setbacks

i think it was sometime mid-morning when i looked down and developed a whole new fascination with my boobs. i don't know if it was the shirt i was wearing or just the angle i could see them at but they really grabbed my attention for the rest of the day. for those of you who know me pretty well you will recognize this as an advancement in my life, just by virtue of my expressed dislike for tits prior to yesterday. I don't want to belabour the point here but i will say that i was feeling pretty good about this breakthrough.

now onto the setback! a cute boy caught my eye on the subway going home last night. still feeling good about the tit thing i smiled back. he was tall and dark with shaggy coiffed hair. hot. as we approached st.clair the dude went for my hand and motioned that he wanted my phone number. this is when things fell apart. in the position of having to make a snap decision i obviously turtled. unfortunately i am all to aware of my track record (when given the option of two things i will ALWAYS pick the wrong one) but there's naught i can do about it now.

alright, i gotta jet to work.

Can I Have A Blow On Your Shofar?

taryn, shannon and i just got back from a taping of popcultured with elvira kurt. there were literally 23 people in the audience, 11 of whom worked for the show. it was really funny though. we are going to have to watch it tonight if only to hear ourselves guffaw. and maybe to catch a glimpse of the ginger leprechaun that got the audience going. at least we went home with a load of comic books. and taryn got some lube and chocolate teeth.

i love spur of the moment evenings like this. like on friday night taryn brought shannon home with her and we decided that pre-dinner drinks were in order. shannon couldn't be arsed to actually sit up to drink so we fashioned her a long straw. it was a pretty good plan until the vodka started squirting all over the table from where the straws met up. then she told my uncle that she thought my cousin was hot, but a bit of a player. its ok, i wasn't massively embarrassed. we ended up at the good bite for dinner, caused a bit of a ruckus, and shannon passed out on the couch at 9.30. we are so hard-core!

the weekend was actually pretty quiet. did some clothes shopping (needed a new outfit for my mom's bat mitzvah) and went to my cousin's engagement party. although i had a really nice time with the family i missed out on the debauchery of daniel's birthday. i'm not complaining, just stating the facts.

i was trying to tell shannon and taryn about the blowing of the shofar but it ended up being one of those conversations that goes horribly awry. taryn thought that it was kind of like communion and that everyone "got a whack at it" and they both wondered if the rabbi took requests. i don't know if they got it that there aren't really any notes and that, as hard as he tried, the rabbi probably wouldn't be able to pull off drop it like its hot. but it really would be something to see the rabbi rock out to snoop on one of the holiest days of the year.
