Oh, nostalgia
Really, east village? After all of this time? We don’t even know where to go anymore. Unexpectedly lovely night, really. And I think the New Years plans have been firmed up, so I can stop (unnecessarily) stressing out over that. Also, let me just note that the Hummus Place was playing some weird music tonight. As for me: I was quietly singing “Take Care” to myself.

knicks/warriors
-No more Wilson Chandler, so David Lee doesn’t have to revisit those memories of The Time He Got Bitten.
-I really like the retro quality of the Golden State logo. It’s like that time I wanted to buy an old school Bears hat.
-I’m still giving the side-eye to MSG’s use of “Let’s Get It On” in their commercials.
-Clyde Frazier’s suits!!

So… I like the name “Thorin”… a lot. It won’t be the name of a future son or anything, but I felt like sharing.
As it turns out, I really remember nothing about The Hobbit from when I was 11, except for Bilbo, Smaug, and Gollum. A little while after I finished reading the book, I found a gold ring in a jewelry box that belonged to a great-aunt. I decided that it...

-Matthew/Mary are giving me Ben/Leslie feelings. All of the emotions! All of them! I still think that snow was unnecessary and fake-looking, though.
-Oh, irony: I’ve never stayed more than an extra hour at work, but at this TEMP job, I’m working more overtime than I ever have. Oh, how I wish they could hire me!
-Listening to that Marina & the Diamonds album for the first time...

watched a bit of VH-1 Divas
All it made me want to do was listen to “back to black” and finally check out Sharon Jones.

A very lazy Christmas eve. Lions clinch! Giants win! My grandmother would have been 100 today. We were *so* sure she was going to make it. Headache, congestion, Patty Griffin. I like being low-key.

-avoiding packing
-people in my office actually give gifts! and I got some stuff!
-wearing a sweatshirt & tights
-I have such year-end-list fatigue. I always say that I’m going to go back through these lists and make notes about what I want to check out later, but I never do it. This year, I’m not even gonna try.
-listening to “Infinity on High” and enjoying the...

sweet talk
One of the guys in my office (the one who reminds me of a guy I used to have a little crush on!) refers to Siri as “the chick on the phone.”
I adore this office, and I’m so sad that there’s no future for me in it. Hopefully, my next step will make itself clear to me sooner rather than later.

I usually don’t link songs to people, but today is the birthday of someone who I have conflicting feelings about, and in that case, there is the modern dilemma of what to write on the old facebook wall. I was thinking about what I *could* write, but there are too many worries about how some of those things could be construed. (Note: I tend to give guys way too much credit in terms of how...

I have reached the point where I cannot read the words “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and not get Fountains of Wayne’s “Red Dragon Tattoo” stuck in my head.

Brinson: …first of all, shave that Fu-Manchu, Joe Flacco, before we go any further. Let’s shave that thing off.
WIlson: You know what makes it worse?
Brinson: What’s that?
Wilson: He somehow duped Dennis Pitta into growing one, too, so those two numbnuts are standing next to each other at the end of the game, looking like they’re getting ready to go to a Halloween...

so, I've been going to Church
I have 2 observations. I went to Church nearly every Sunday for a good 13 or 15 years (we stopped being so “religious” about it after my confirmation). I’ve gone to this Church 5 times now, in the past couple of months, and here’s what I find odd:
-PDA. In Church! Like, couples with their arms around each other. There was a couple in front of me tonight, and she was busy...

Well, good. Thanks, SNL, for acknowledging that Matt Prater’s kicked some prit-tee long field goals lately. No 22 yard chip shots, no sir.

watching The IT Crowd
So far, it’s pretty delightful, although I haven’t watched anything with a laugh track in a while, and it’s kind of jarring.

one of those days
Having a hard time waking up this afternoon. Looks cold and gray out. Headache. That “I’ve been rolled down the stairs” feeling. Lazy Saturday, indeed. I was supposed to trot over to Verizon and have them look at my phone, but idk if that’s going to happen at this point. It’ll be one of those days where I don’t start getting anything done until 6pm.

friday
-this weekend is week 15 of the NFL season. freakin’ flew by, as usual. at least there’s basketball to look forward to, and the accompanying “Oh, Knicks.” I have considered trying to get into hockey, but I don’t know if it’ll take.
-my parents are having company this weekend, so they had to decorate the tree without me. I feel slighted.
-my mother sent me a...

Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary): Well, none of us are from aristocracy, apart from Julian. I come from a county called Essex, which is certainly not a very—
Rebecca Eaton: Which would be the equivalent to what here?
Michelle Dockery: Um, New Jersey? [Laughs.] I should have worn my hoop earrings.
-Well, well. Look who’s making with the Jersey jokes.
