Posing with Meat

This kind of happened by accident, I was out for an "educational" dinner with my bosses, coworkers and some pharmaceutical representatives at a fancy restaurant a couple months ago. I'm not a person of interest at these events, primarily because I'm not a doctor and don't really have the interest in most of the medications these people are discussing. Frankly, i show up for the free food and drinks i wouldn't normally choose to ingest due to the monetary absurdity. It's pretty cool to get to go to these swanky places and order fancy cuts of meat and expensive glasses of wine and have these annoying waiters treat me like i'm wicked important, even though they loathe my existence. (i'm attending one next week and hope to have some fresh pictures to post later)

SO yeah, these things can get BORING too, and after a few glasses of wine, i get fidgety and tend to start entertaining myself in various benign ways. This one night was extra painfully boring and i had just finished this awesome veal chop..... I leaned across the table, handed my coworker my iphone, equally as bored/drunk I demanded her to take pictures of me posing with this mammoth baby cow bone. It took some slight coaxing, actually she was all for it. The hardest part was getting her to stop laughing and remain still enough to take a decent picture. The best part was no one noticed a damn thing beyond laughter, which paralleled some awful erectile dysfunction joke one of the docs threw out.


since then i've been inspired to pose with various meat bones at family functions and other social gatherings. and yes, it is imperative to make a grizzly face every time. Bon Appetit!

Silly Boys

Due to my varying levels of coolness, I am either not home or sleeping so I rarely get the chance to watch SNL (not that it's been worth watching anyway). A friend told me there was a new Andy Samberg music video, and of course it was exactly what I was expecting. . . . . it's no "Chronic of Narnia", but it's still good for a few laughs

¡Me gusta la Playa!, I like the beach!

(my dream house)

Meg, Val, and I ventured to Mexico for a week back in September. We booked everything about a month before we left, we thought we'd take advantage of the ridiculously cheap hurricane vacation package deal and chance the possible violent storm and being the Caribbean's snack. We managed to stay unscathed minus the occasional 5 minute rain storm, pushy street merchants, and one $60 bullshit airport cab fare.

We were very grateful for all the knowledge we gained while on vacation:

-Mexican resorts specialize in runny nacho cheese, sub-par guacamole and GIANT board games.

-Ingesting ocean water has the same effects as ingesting tapwater.

-Mexican Police carry machine guns and sometimes point them at bus you ride

-When vendors ask "Cigar for your boyfriend?" don't respond. You can't win.

Some Trip highlights:
1. Pools and beach within feet! Obviously, the best part of a tropical vacaysh . . . .

2. Isla Mujeres - a small island 40-minute sketchy boat ride from Cancun. A really laid back island with some pretty sights, tasty food and some friendly locals befriending us. If you ever go to the Cozumel/Cancun area check this place out, it's worth the boat's diesel fumes and possible capsize!

3. The best breakfast buffet in buffet history! Amazing fruit, and then overwhelming selection of everything else you would ever think of eating for breakfast. I think the group favorite was the french toast, I was impartial to the sausages, but the best feature was the self-serve beer and wine taps (I'm not joking)

4. TANS! (sorry Val)- Okay so we're probably going to look like handbags by the time we're 40, but we religously applied SPF of various strengths (val used spf 50 and 70 as a basecoat). My argument: it's not a tropical vacation if you don't come back sportin' a lil crispy flesh.

awwwwww i love friends and vacation!
