Catch Up
Went to Columbus, Ohio and then I have been non stop moving ever since I got back. Ohio was great. It was good to see my friends that are still there, and many of the alumni that came back. Friday night we all went to Brothers, where I ran into some people I wasn't expecting to see which really made me happy. I got to spend time with some really quality people and remembered what it was like to not be surrounded by stress 24/7. I really miss my more chill days! As much as I love NYC, there is no way to stay sane if you don't take a break every now and then. Just the simple constant noise can be a stressor. Anywho, I really cant believe I'm at this point in my life. I'm not really sure what to do but I'm just taking it day by day. Kinda rambling now. Everything just seems so surreal.
Some sad things have been going on. A person from my high school killed himself and I wasn't really friends with him but I knew who he was. He was very popular and loved by many, and played lacrosse with a friend from Ohio State, who I was with at the time of finding out which made this way more weird. Yesterday we put my dog, Willy, to sleep. I haven't really cried about it yet, but I'm def. upset. I always thought id be hysterical. I dunno, its very weird to not have him here. On a happier note tho, my best friend Lucy got engaged. I am so happy for her and her fiancee Gruen. Another surreal thing to me. My friends getting married. Oh and my first serious boyfriend also got engaged. Meanwhile, I'm getting fucked over by guys as usual. I wonder when it will end. I also wonder why every time I go away, whoever I am involved with, no matter how serious or not, always falls to shit immediately after. Very weird phenomenon.
Thanksgiving was amazing. I opted out of the family thing, cuz I was not speaking to my father and my mom was supposed to go away but changed her plans last minute. My coworker and I made a sick dinner, and then proceeded to play guitar hero for 6 hours. I literally woke up in the middle of the night due to pain in my wrists. Pics to come though of our feast!

Word Trend
Kinda Really Funny
"Kids with names that are outside the norm usually end up wanting their names changed to something more like everyone else's. Now Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's two-and-half-year old daughter has upped the ante.
Shiloh will only respond to the name 'John.'
Brad Pitt made this hilarious admission to Oprah Winfrey on her program scheduled to air Nov. 19, reports People.com.
"She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing," Pitt says. "So we've got to call her John. 'Shi, do you want ...' – 'John. I'm John.' And then I'll say, 'John, would you like some orange juice?' And she goes, 'No!' So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people."

The Ex
I thought it was just me but my whole office just agreed, it's definitely attack of the ex week. They have this sick sixth sense when you are happy, to stick their noses in your life again. It's so effing annoying!
It's On!
When I say I hate my landlord, I mean I reallllly hate her.
This is a women who argues we don't have bugs, so we kept roaches in a plastic bag to show her. She tells us they are water bugs so we wikipedia it for her to show they are the same thing. Regardless, we have bugs, get an exterminator! She calls me or Brie and screams "Who is this, I don't know who I call!". She said we broke her pipes with our hair, and when the plumber goes to fix it, puts a hole in the pipe cuz its rusted through and floods the entire downstairs apartment. I lent my towels to the girl and Sandra took them to wash a.k.a. douse them in bleach. She refused to fix the flusher in the toilet and told us to just stick our hand in to flush it and then finally taped the rusted through chain. She says her kitchen appliances are fine when its the first ever made oven leaking gas and not working which she finally had to replace. I had to argue with her for a light outside because of my late hours and the drug dealers next door. The entire time there was a light she just had the switch taped and told us it was faulty. She lied and goes "fine" and just turns the switch on! We told her the electric was faulty bc when you plug in a coffee maker not only does the entire kitchen blow out, but the outlet smokes. She doesn't answer calls when you need something simple like a lightbulb to be changed because its some funky ceiling light but she doesn't want to replace it because her electric is wired weird and she pays for that light. She calls you at 7am to tell you to shut the windows because it is raining and her walls will get damaged.
We are coming to the end of our lease and naturally there will be people coming to look at the place. To my understanding, it isn't the law but definitely the right thing to call the tenant before showing up. But that just doesn't apply I guess in our situation.
Yesterday I wasn't feeling well so I cancelled dinner with a friend and decided to just come home, shower and relax. I had just walked inside and in 10 minutes had the shower going and was ready to jump in. My phone was with me so when the doorbell rang as I was getting in, I didn't think it was anyone I needed to address. Jumped in the shower and 5 seconds later, there is knocking on my door. Then I hear her voice in the apartment "Hellloooo?". That thick high pitched Italian voice haunts me in my dreams. "Helloooo?" again. I poke my head out and say, "Yea?" and shes like "They are here to look at the apartment. This is Sandra!"
Me: "Yea I know who it is. I'm in the shower."
Sandra: "OK we wait 2 minutes."
I get out and open the bathroom door to an open front door and a family coming to look for a second time. She didn't even close the door back and they were just standing in my hallway waiting for me to get out of the bathroom! I greet them face to face and I'm just like "You are supposed to call. I thought you call before you come."
Sandra mumbles some bullshit "I had the papers everywhere and I couldn't."
I just stare at everyone and can only imagine the look of hate I had on my face.
The family just walks in after this and the little girl, who had taken change from my floor the last time, runs right into my room and says to her mom, "See, there is money EVERYWHERE!". OK I have change all over my room but really? Is this a joke?
They check out the apartment and ask me to leave them my furniture, for free. Joke, this is a joke. Right? Sandra makes her way into my room and tells them I am messy because I am packing. Thanks for explaining that bitch! Then she asks me when I am leaving. I explained to her that I had to stay til the very last day cuz I had something in the city that Sunday morning. She asked me if she could send in the bathroom guy so it could be redone while we were still there. I wouldn't care if they start work but I need a bathroom while I'm there and paying for one. She said we will see. Then I hear that this family wouldn't need the apartment until Christmas which gives her 3 free weeks to do any renovations. If she tries to send a bathroom guy in before the 30th, I will flip out.
She then turns to me and says she had some surgery and shes a little out of it. I'm like, whatever. Bries door was locked so she yelled at me for that too, and then said goodbye and walked out. I go to start my shower again and just as I'm about to get back in, more knocking at my door. I'm getting punk'd.
It's her again with her cousin to survey the bathroom. 20 minutes later, they leave and as she walked out I said I wasn't feeling well and if shes coming back again, she needs to call. She didn't say anything and walked out. I hate her.

Spotted
I was thinking to myself that it had been a while since spotting a celeb on the streetz...if it wasn't Lily Allen, then her identical twin was in the subway with me on Sunday and Ricky from My So Called Life at Barney's Co-Op!
How To Get A Free Hotel Room
Flashback: Driving cross country after a summer living in New Mexico. Going back to school with the then boyfriend (JC - code name of coarse) I had been living with. Nashville. After 5 hours of stand still traffic in which I had to pee but every time I left the car got stage fright, being in daylight with truckers and all, I was not a happy camper. We finally drive past the scene of the crime which had been a trailer home that flipped, puking all contents of someones home onto the highway and the ditch beside it. (I think the second weirdest thing I ever saw spillage wise was an entire truck of Red Bulls.) JC insisted on us staying in this fancy pants place we saw on the way down. The first thing I usually do out of habit is to go through every drawer in the room. This time, my tradition was delayed and instead I went to the bathroom ASAP. Once relieved, I began my habit. JC was now in the bathroom when I screamed after opening the first drawer. Next to the pocket Bible were condoms, a condom wrapper opened and empty, and two samples of lube, one was open and spewing ooze. Immediately ran down to the concierge who apologized, fired the housekeeper on the spot, and hooked us up with the ill room for free. Needless to say, I still didn't exactly sleep well that night.
Another reason I'm not such a fan of Nashville...after this whole incident, we went to get food but it was very late and most things were closed. White Castle to the rescue! JC ordered no onions and we checked to see before we drove off because based on our track record, chances were it had onions and sure enough, they did. We gave it back to the drive thru man and in front of our faces, opens the bag, takes each patty with his hands, wipes the onions off into the trash, and repackages them and hands them back to us with the straightest face. JC still ate them.

A bit over the top
I caught this movie on Lifetime the other week. Apparently it was a theme on the channel and I had missed a similar movie prior. I understand where the people involved in this project were trying to go with this, but personally I found it to be a tad ridiculous. If anyone else ever catches it, I'd love to hear their thoughts.
The Chosen One
I did it! I campaigned to get myself a staffers position on a Sachlav Birthright trip and actually am going! It is a huge relief to find this out because it was a plan forming in my mind for almost a year now. I am so excited because my best friend Sarah is living there now and I will be able to extend my trip and stay with her for a little bit extra, including New Years. I don't know details on the trip yet but it leaves December 17th and I think my two friends from school will be on it as well. I'm overjoyed right now! I am very anxious to go back. It's also quite tempting to extend and just travel for a while. Hit up Greece, Turkey, Egypt, etc. but I have to be realistic. Kinda stick to my reason for not going to LA. Just cuz I can, doesn't mean I have to. Little hard to resist though! Details to come on my trip and I may even just start a whole separate blog for this. We will see. Baruch Hasham!

White Trash Astoria
It's kinda crazy that I only have two more weeks left to live in this apartment. I've been meaning to write about this block for a while. Somehow, Brie and I managed to live on the most white trash block in Queens. Just today I was walking home and there was a man in hunting gear showing off his prized killed deer in the back of his truck. (Reminds me of the time my hick neighbor in Ohio went missing for days only to return covered in blood from a hunting trip and dead meat dangling from his arm, bursting into my apartment.)
There is the frat a couple doors down. Every time you walk by, it smells like Sigma Chi's basement. I came to find out it is a father, son and daughter living there with some babies, perhaps a cousin or two, and friends. It was easy to tell that they were drug dealers because they are out there drinking and smoking 24/7 with people double parked suspiciously almost all the time. Nice guys once you realize they are just a bunch of losers. They are also kinda friendly with the half retarded man who lives on his mom's porch and hacks up his lungs at all hours of the clock cuz he can't stop smoking.
Next door is the blocks prized possession. "Living" with a man who smokes weed, blasts Led Zeppelin, and unloads empty Utz boxes every day, is the prostitute. She wears lucite heels, leggings, a shirt tied around her waist,some sort of shirt, her hair in a floppy bun held in with a scrunchy, and a bracelet made out of cardboard and 99cents labels. She sits on the street at early morning hours, to which I found out why. Turns out the neighbor lets her sleep there but kicks her out when he goes to work in the am. It's been confirmed by members of the block that she is indeed a hooker. We see her wondering around a lot, and sometimes on the bus. She has some sort of tick and one time I heard her screaming to some old couple who could have been a landlord of some type, that she goes to church every day and that's good enough for her and her sister is missing. Cool life.
Not that this has anything to do with my block per se but Rachel and I were walking home and just turned down my block and a white BMW pulled up to us. 4 white guys, maybe 20 years old, asked us for directions. I kinda thought something was up but everything next happened so fast. As Rachel walked up to them to help them out, the guy in the passenger seat grabbed the coffee and chucked it at Rachel's face. Some splattered on my and I looked at the ground to see that it was steaming hot coffee. Milk in it and everything. Rachel fortunately had enough time to turn and have it only hit the side of the body. Seriously, what the eff?! I really don't think they went out with the intention of doing this, cuz you wouldnt prepare it with milk and shit, but who the fuck does that? NOT FUNNY. That shit could have seriously burned us. And no, we weren't able to get a plate number.

24 Hour Galore!
When I lived in Columbus, I really missed having things open 24 hours like good ol' NYC. Thankfully, someone else felt my pain and made this fun map for me!
For The Record
I got banned from JDate again. Apparently you aren't allowed to remove all information from your profile for more then a couple days? That's what I'm assuming they are mad at me about now, but I haven't called them to find out. At this point, it's not worth it.

TG's
In my sorority we had these themed gatherings with the fraternities, a.k.a. TG's. Known as Socials, Parties, etc. by others. Some examples...devils and angels, candy, iced out, Buckeye, Mardi Gras...it could have been anything. We were always cautious with the "gangsta" theme but nontheless, had those too. I heard of a couple schools getting crap for that one though. But NEVER this...

Interview With The Nightmare
Started looking for jobs casually and went on my first interview with this batch. I went to the place and was greeted by the person I thought was the receptionist. She told me to wait at the table and 10 minutes later she gets up and comes over to talk with me. Apparently she's one of three or so people who work in the company. For all I know she could have been an intern. She asked me weird questions like, "What's the most manual labor you have ever done?", and explained to me that her last Jewish intern missed so many days because of the holidays and wahtever they do on the weekends that it just wouldnt work out. Then she asked me how I was planning on interning and working full time and I had to explain to her I was leaving and would do this and a job to make money cuz im also moving into Manhattan to which her response was, "Oh and HOW are you planning on doing that?". OK not that the case is that my family supports me but how awkward would I feel if I was someone living in an apartment my parents paid for or something? All throughout the interview she was yawning as well and didnt explain a single thing to me about anything. It was just bits and peices of information. She also told me to email her and I know I didnt have an email but I didnt even want to and she let me go without giving it to me. Awesome interview. Glad I wasted almost $40 in cabs in the rain today.

Would You Rather
Celebrity: A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention.
Would you rather never have been known at all, or be caught in a national scandal that rockets you to a celebrity overnight?

Everything Is Better With Pics
I feel like a post just isn't as complete without a photo to go with it. Like, reading online has been reduced to such a speedy thing that without being able to have a picture tell a story of what you are about to read (weather relevant or not to the actual entry or not), it automatically loses my interest. I will try to add at least one photo to my entries from now on. That said, enjoy the "new and improved" Wino.
Anything With Goat Cheese Wins
Thinking about Jen cooking made me remember this oh so perfect salad recipe I stumbled upon.
Change of Plans
I'm not moving to LA. I'm going to live with my friend Jen and we will blog about things we cook (she cooks) and do to, and in, the apt. that our sugardaddies will pay for...
Sessed
I thought that the scratch n sniff paper was the coolest wallpaper you could get but this gives it a run for the money!

I wish I still had all the Post Its my freshman year roommate would leave me and our other roommates. She went from this sweet girl to this "strong black woman" with OCD within that year. She'd listen to us wash our hands after going to the bathroom. She'd leave Post Its on a nightly basis on our desks to wash our hands, clean out the garbage, do our laundry, etc. and use these words that we had to go on urbandictionary.com to figure out what she was talking about. I love the passive aggressive note every once in a while but im def. more of a fan of a good ol' confrontation!

Winner
This is the first African American President of the United States of America. He will be the 44th President in January and won the vote 349-147. Pretty historic stuff. I'm interested to see the numbers for how many came out to vote, etc.

Office Quotes Book 2
"I met a great photographer, not the one I told you about but he was so nice and then someone told me to go to the palm reader who was so nice and I should be nicer."
"As Boy George always said, a hole in the dark is a hole in the dark."
"Does anyone need anything?"
Response was "Look in that gossip mag for that fashion thing."
"You guys make packages, do you have any string?"
"I dont have rape face, YOU have rape face."
"You have rape hair."
"Yea, cuz my hair looked at his rapeface."
"An email address that is, yaheiness, a p.s. in her email, a note saying her name was Angel when her resume says Venssa. Sure i'll bring her in for an interview."

Drunk Animals
I loved this alcohol class I took in college. I've talked about it before and we were talking about drunk animals the other day and it reminded me of a video we watched. When fruit ferments, and animals eat it, they get trashed! Apparently people catch these things on tape often...
Marathoners
Running a marathon to me is just ridiculous. I hate running. But thousands upon thousands of people do it every year. The ads this year made me laugh with the Jewish guilt undertones, the whole, "I'm running for this and raised this much money and so and so" and "what did you do today?" Oy!
There are the hard core runners, the regulars, and then the pranksters. I was pleasantly surprised to see a women in the slower section, juggling! The old people. There was one person dressed as Borat, in a ridiculous bathing suit. Then there were all the celebs. I can't imagine running alongside Ryan Reynolds. I'd shit my pants for that more likely then shitting my pants after hitting "the wall".
I knew a couple people running this weekend and they all finished just fine. One raised over $10k for MSKCC, the place where his mother underwent treatment before passing. I'm really proud of him, this was his second time running.
A coworker of mine ran out with our friend for a bit. She was so excited. I'll always remember the time my friend ran in Columbus and I ran out with her, went like half a block, and practically collapsed.

Halloween 2008
Halloween was fun. I don't think anything can compare to a NYC one. It's crazy in college but its college. In the real world, its that much better. My friend was in town and after dinner with the fam, we made our way down to the parade. Last year I was a little more involved in it, but I was glad I still got to see some of it. It was pretty harsh with the crowds though and being 5 ft in that just wasn't working for me for long. We pretty much just went bar hopping with friends after that. I didnt see any Sarah Palin's which surprised me. I was wearing a childs monkey suit and it was so soft, everyone kept petting me. I ran into two random people I knew of coarse. It's funny cuz last year on my way to a friends, I ran into someone and she was in a pretty embarrassing outfit. The city is smaller then you think.
Voting Madness
Today's the day! I am lazy and screwed up my whole voting situation but i'm still pretty excited to see the outcome. I think its pretty crazy all these voting incentives companies are doing. Starbucks gives you a free tall 12-oz. cup of brewed coffee. Krispy Kreme gives a free star-shaped donut with red, white, and blue sprinkles when you show them your "I voted" sticker. Ben & Jerry's gives a free scoop of ice cream from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Babeland is giving out a silver bullet or maverick penis sleeve. Interesting. My favorite quote was, "if your candidate doesnt win, you can fuck the pain away."
Just a couple more hours!
