Because I love my sisters and want to copy everything they do, I'm going to post another of these questionniares.
I hope they don't bore you too easily.

Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4. Write down what it says: “...of his nature, and his apology can be accepted at full value."

Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? a plant that Chad stole from another office for me.

What is the last thing you watched on TV? The West Wing, I'm addicted to the repeats on Bravo. I finally understand what all the fuss was about.

WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is. 12:35 PM

Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 12:59 PM

With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? the air vents.

When did you last step outside? what were you doing? walking from my apt to the subway, from the subway to my office.

What are you wearing? Black pants, and black and pink striped shirt.

Did you dream last night? Not that I can recall, but I have been dreaming some weird shit lately.

When did you last laugh? About an hour ago when I found something under someones chair I shouldn't have found...needless to say someone is getting some action, and it's not me.

What is on the walls of the room you are in? Pictures of family and friends, sheets of phone numbers, three post-it notes taped together with a message from Wu Lei (cut out of the Wall Street Journal), my Korean Husband wanting to know when I'm going to return to his homeland and help raise our kids.

Seen anything weird lately? Last night I saw a man wearing what looked to be a wedding veil on his head.

Last movie you saw? Last night, 13 Going on 30. I love Jennifer Garner, but this movie....was made for 13 year olds, and since I'm approaching 30 it just didn't work.

If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? a browstone in my neighborhood.

Tell me something about you that I don't know. I don't think there is anyone on earth who completely likes me.

If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? That's too hard a question to answer on a Friday.

Do you like to dance? only with someone who really likes to dance. You can feel their joy.

Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? This question is so 7th grade, I mean, come on...who really thinks about these things. Who knows if I will even have kids. I can't seem to find a date, so thinking about kids is so premat....Eva.

[Same question for a boy] Ralphie

Would you ever consider living abroad? oh yeah, I might just go now.

I think I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome coupled with Insomnia, coupled with some sort of tumor hidden in the colorful recesses of my brain. I'm pretty sure all of this is true.

So I just read my friend Mike's blog that this dumbass Director David Gordon Green is in talks to make a movie version of A Confederacy of Dunces with Will Ferrell as Ignatius, Mos Def as Jones, and Drew Barrymore to play Darlene. What sort of fucked up shit is this? Why don't they just dig up John Kennedy Toole, hook him up to tiny wires and make his corpse dance. This just makes me mad. I heard a rumor back in the late 90's that Robin Williams was being considered for Ignatius. Is it just me or do these people not realize Ignatius is supposed to be a giant fat man! And if they think they can solve this with a fat suit I might have to stage a protest. This is an abortion.

I feel like reading the book again now. Oh how I loved that book.

In other news I've decided my life is severely suffering from a lack of anything out of the ordinary ever happening. I need an infusion of the surprise variety. Anyone have any ideas?

I just got me another present from work. I'm holding a big ole bottle of Piper champagne...yummy and I'm gonna drink it all by myself! Whoohooo!
In fact, I'm gonna crack this baby open right now.

Ohh look, more fun with maps.

Look, I've created a Visited States Map...looks like I got the East Coast covered, except I need to get my ass to Georgia pronto.



create your own personalized map of the USA
or write about it on the open travel guide

Choices:
Go to NYU Library and watch the rest of my Mormon missionary documentary.
Go home and continue cleaning my room.

I think I'm going to the Library.

I managed to work a full day today. Go me. I have fullfilled my quest to become a slacker again. Well, that's not true. What is true is that I work in bursts. I work really hard and then I slack for a few weeks...then work hard, then slack..rinse repeat.

I have been working on this project at work and am afraid I've fucked it all up by rushing through it. It can't be 100% right. My only hope is that no one is really going to look at these stupid reports anyway.

I'm going to the Lib-ary now to rent us some mooovies.

Peace out - K lo

I've been ergonomicafied! This lady came to the office today and told everyone how to sit and type and look at the screen. I felt like my Mom had come to visit. So now I'm sitting up straighter. My screen is situated up higher and I'm typing with my hands at an acceptable level! Yippee!

I also have lied to an old man today. How many of you have done this? An old, helpless man, who calls me Miss (Insert Last Name). Oh how could I have done it? I'll tell you why...he's my writing professor and he deserves it! I told him I had finished my paper on the Mormons, but I had to work until 11 tonight so I couldn't attend class to turn in my draft. And he bought it! SUCKER! hahaha I know what many of you are thinking....Krista, obviously after reading your blog we can see you need all the writing classes you can get your stinky feet into...but you are wrong. It was more important that I watched HORRIBLE movies this past weekend then work on a paper.

So now I have to do the paper THIS coming weekend. Please, my friends...please make me do my paper. Call me and say, "Krista what are you doing." and when I say, "nothing, let's go to the movies," you say, "NO you loser, you work on your Mormon paper!" and hang up.

I actually am working late tonight. I think I should go out and get some dinner....hmmm.

Also, anyone need a oak dresser from the 1970's? As an added bonus I will throw in a picture of the dresser and me standing next to it in the 1970's crying in a blue dress with my hair in braids and pinned to the top of my head after my mother and I got in a fight and my mom, thinking it was funny, took said picture of me crying.
If no one wants it I'm going to let it fend for itself on the mean streets of Park Slope.

Ok, love you, bye bye.

After a brief break in blog activity (i forgot my password = I'm lame) I'm back and better than ever. Actually that's a lie. I'm sick! Sick and I can't get better. I just took the last of my british made Solpadeine the best over the counter pain relief you can get, with a little help from the Peacock, the Queen, and codeine. Oh how I love you codeine. Why don't they make this shit in the states? I'm gonna have to put a call into my british supplier and get more.

So, what's new I hear you asking. Well, the Apprentice is over....the spiky-haired Bill won over the
boxer-rific Kwame. Oh Kwame, you can cry on my shoulder...or my boobs, whatever works. I had, probably the best Apprentice party this side of the Gowanis canal. Who am I kidding, this side of the Hudson at least! We had Omorosa-samosas, Kwame salami, ball cookies with Kwame signatures, Goldslager, chocolate gold coins...oh it was classy! Liz won the door prize for best trump hair, even though Abby and I were the only people to even try, but I had to give her the prize for being the person to come up with Omorosa-samosas. The door prize was Trump's new book, How to Get Rich. I was a little embarrassed buying it, I must admit, but it went down a treat.

I should be writing my Mormon paper right about now for my writing class, but I can't, you know how I am about procrastinating...if I have more than 8 hours to complete something I just can't bring myself to do anything.

In other news my mother had to have a tumor taken out of the base of her skull, she tends to be a bit lumpy, she's on vicadin now. She called and asked me if that was any good. I told her no and to send it all to me, pronto...I don't think she bought it. Just Jay (J) asked if the tumor had teeth and hair, so I called and asked...she said in fact she thinks she heard the Dr. say it looked like one of those rather good sponge monkeys. Gross! I hope that sort of thing doesn't run in the family. I sent her flowers that had a card attached that said, Dear Lumpy, I hope everything comes out okay. haaaa, ohh....

I am a bad movie magnet all of a sudden. I watched two of the worst movies EVER in the past 24 hours. The first I rented. I should have known, it had Meg Ryan in it..but come on, it also had Mark Ruffalo...and his PENIS. That's right girls, full frontal Ruffalo bus-nass! I'd like to say that was worth the two hours I wasted watching this piece of steamy crap, but sadly it wasn't. It's called In the Cut and it was HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!
The second movie I watched today that sucked ass was a movie that has an excellent title, but that couldn't save this stupid, it was all a dream ending, suck-fest. It was Boxing Helena, I know I should have seen this 10 years ago, but I never did. In all honestly I did fall asleep mid-movie, so I can't really say I watched the whole thing, but what I did see was soft porn (which I'm all for, but they shouldn't pretend it's an art house movie) and what was with the main character's white thing in his ear. I don't think they ever explained the white thing in his ear! Ugh, it was so stupid!

So now I'm listening to some Dinah Washington and waiting for the Just Jay (Jay) and Liz to come over. I think we are going to see the new Brooklyn Museum entrance. It better have dragons and ninjas or I'm not going.

I think Abby sums up our little "jaunt" to DC quite well with this post. She only left out the part where we had to sleep next to two, T W O, kitten statuettes with scary un-natural human eyes!!

Celia's friends are great and I had such a good time meeting everyone. My parents did show up for the party, surprising a slightly high Celia...haha, I guess a good sister would have not let other sister smoke up only minutes before her parents are due to arrive...but oh, how could I miss out on something like that....hahaha.

In other news, I might be getting a radio show on WNYU. I have to draw up my ideas for the show and list the music I would play. Anyone have any ideas for a theme? I'm not really a theme type person, I like what I like, but maybe someone has an idea. If I can't figure that out, I might just sign up to do the news.

I think I'm going to start planning my big Apprentice finale party now....it's gonna be the classiest, most gilted party EVA!
