She saw Iron Man on Monday. Loved it.

She opened up a third checking account. On impulse today although thought about it since January.

She will probably be taking the GRE this year.

She still loves MacGyver!

I marked on the work calendar my last (tentative) day. July first. It scares me but also made me so proud of myself.

I must find a new job soon.

This Friday we got that back pay the union negotiated to have returned to us. I got an obscene amount of money. It was such a relief cos I had to dip into my savings to pay rent this month. Guy understood when I said we needed to find cheap eats on our date night so he cooked dinner for me.

Not much to say except I still hate work and I'm rethinking the not going to grad school thing.

Also, I'm planning a trip to Canada this summer.

They didn't yank my rotten teeth out, yeesh. Not yet anyway. I had a deep cleaning and they took care of one of my cavities at the dentist today. The damage? About a hundred and fifteen bucks. Thank Heavens for healthcare.

Surprisingly, the cleaning hurt more than the filling. The hygenist had to dig in between teeth to muck out the gunk. My mouth attracts gross things. I need to floss more and under the gumline. Good thing I was shown how to do exactly that. I love my dental office. They treat me well.

In other news, I finished reading Hating Women by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach last week. Everyone needs to read it. I wish I could find the words to give it full justice but take everything you know about women--images, media, myths, truths--and forget you ever thought that way. We're hard-pressed to find positive female images anywhere without some tainting of minor disrespect of women as a whole. Little things we think nothing of contribute to this. I'm rambling but read this book.

Bloggings? Is that even a word?

Nevertheless I must write about the POC acknowledgment(ie. recognizing another person of color and making it your business to let them know you see them).

Also, I need to discuss my slightly prejudiced views about dating Guy who is POC. Yeah, I went there.

I am tired and need my MacGyver fix.

I'm setting on the 1 train about to go to Whole Body in midtown. Some suit comes on, flanked by a camera crew and announces that he's a multimillionaire. He says he's going to the "club" for a facial and massage but wants an iced coffee before he gets there. So he boldly tells us to give him money. Someone yells they won't and he asks them to repeat and they don't. He responds with, "that's what I thought." More people tell him no as he walks through the car holding out his hand. And his camera people are filming while another guy tries to get people to sign a waiver to be on this "show" he's doing.

Yeesh.

or hoo i  thinkmes drunk b utit's like nine thirty. Aya @ work's bday and i had salisbury steakb tv din 4 lunch. hungry  got drunk easy. think i bought some communist fareas stumblin g out the bar i wanna get laid.


night yawls

I've shared so much in the last two years and want to be selfish for once. I bought a Pur water pitcher cos I need the filtered water. I drink so much daily. Only yesterday I noticed that one of my roommates has been using it too. It irked me. The first rule I was told before moving in was that we don't share food. Water is my food. Roommate writes her name all over her things in the fridge so no one will use it. My pitcher now has mine too.

I'm annoyed. If it was simply her using it and nothing else I'd be okay. The fact that the replacement filters are an arm and a leg and by her using it too, it'll need replacement faster than every two months. It will be getting refilled two to three times a day(it's a pitcher for eight glasses of water) instead of every other day. 

Deciding I may be crazy for feeling like I should be the only user of the pitcher, I asked co-workers about it. One said to talk to her or leave a note. Nolee said it was stupid to even be upset about it. And I would be wrong to ask her to help pay for the replacement filters. I got upset because I felt like Nolee was making me out to be a stick-in-the-mud about something that bothers me. I used the analogy about a friend using her car and wearing down the tires. Nolee said it would depend on the friend whether she'd ask them to help buy new tires. Then she got upset cos I asked another person for their input. I wanted to scream. It matters to me and I don't care if she thinks I'm being bitchy about it.

No free rides! So the pitcher sits in my room unused for the moment(I have enough water). If anyone asks, it needs a new filter and I can't afford one. I don't know what to do about this just yet.
