“Why does it always seem longer going back?”
“Because we’re tired?”
Jamie and I were on our return trip on the Katy Trail – it’s part of our on-going attempt at not being lazy – and the last two miles were really dragging. But I wasn’t really feeling tired. Sweaty, yes. But not tired.
“Oh! I know why,” I said. “I spent the first forty-five bitching. The miles just flew by!”
Jamie laughed, but it was one of those laughs that said, “It’s funny ’cause it’s true.” It might have even been laced with a hint of “It’s a good thing you have such nice hair, or that might have strained our friendship beyond repair.”
Boy, is she a trooper. I may suck at a few things, but that is one thing I do really well – choose friends. Really great amazing friends who put up with my antics. These days I’m a real treat. Either I’m staring off into space making mental To Do lists or going on stress-fueled tirades about the bathroom scale or incompetent customer service reps. Seriously, how hard can it be to find a grounded plug adapter that works in Italy? Huh, Dell guy? Huh?!
Anyway, I told Jamie I was going home to search my brain for something to blog about. Something that had nothing to do with travel or hostels, because the internet, as great as it is, makes it impossible for me to use my feminine wiles (and luscious locks) to trick you people into sticking around. Unfortunately.
I’m not so sure this post counts. But! Since you all have been so helpful these last couple days, let me try to return the favor. My piece of advice: Do not spend money to see Good Luck Chuck. See Superbad twice and you’ll be ahead of the game. Way ahead. Trust me. I do love a good raunchy comedy, but Chuck was just lots of naked boobs without any context. Even Jessica Alba (totes adorbs!) couldn’t save this movie from how unfunny that bad-skinned, so-called comedian guy is.
You know what? See Superbad twice anyway. That shit’s just funny.
eh… without the right company the movie is a big void.
Miss you. Wish we could bitch on the sofa, at the brother and with Elliot Stabler on in the background.
Superbad is amazing. I’ve seen it twice, and I would recommend it one more time!!
Officer Michaels: McLovin?
Officer Slater: [pause] That’s such a cool name.
Officer Michaels: I know. It sounds like a sexy hamburger.
where were you on saturday when i got talked into seeing that crap movie???
Hey Fish.
You know about the different power voltage in Europe – right?
So many US electrical appliances go to Europe to die you know
Hope you have fun.
Yes, of course I do.
But I am only taking my laptop, and my laptop has a built in voltage converter. So all I need are plugs for the different countries I’ll be in.
Instead of the movie you could have driven to your favorite city for beer and fun. This time they actually had a huge air conditioned tent and sausage on a stick. Hee! Ok I admit it was pretty much just like Taste, but with laderhosen (sp?).
Superbad was awesome. How many days until you leave for Europe?

You’ve got the critics discerning eyebrow raised again. I’ve got one of those John Belushi eyebrows as well. These guys from Superbad started with Anchorman. It’s been good stuff ever since.
On a separate note for a cast party attended – You believe Williamsburg: The Musical which was sold out and won Fringe awards has to wait 12 months due to a SAG rule before it is reproduced. If baseball could bend the rules for Yankee reliever Jaba Chamberlain (allowing 1 inning stretched to 2) they could allow this great play to run during this lame duck time. Write your congressman.
Here’s one less thing to worry about. One adapter; multiple plugs:

C’mon the previews for Chuck didn’t warn you enough?!
I love how europe has figured out the whole single currency and created a huge single market larger than america’s, but they still have 1000 and 1 different plug and outlet shapes. wwwwhhhhyyyy???
Matt – No, man. It looked inappropriately funny! But really, it’s not. At all. Just a whole lot of boob.
Superbad was excellent. I can’t wait until Knocked Up shows up in my mailbox. I was the only person not to see that film.
And hey, boob is not necessarily a bad. It’s carried many a mediocre film. (I kid, mostly. Oink)
I work for Dell and read you regularly whilst I hide in my cube(Don’t tell Michael). I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Here is the product you were looking for:

Its pretty cheap but let me know if you need the discount:)
BTW, I’m beyond jealous of your new job. Need a wingman?
Is it just me or does Dane Cook have potholes for pores? No? Yes?
Emily!
Can you help me, too?!
My Inspiron 1000 keeps dying if I move the screen, but my warranty is expired. How do I get help?!?!
Thanks!

haha….i love dane cook, so I might see it, but i would have to say, Superbad is such a hilarious movie….i don’t think i stopped laughing throughout the entire thing…
Are you joking? I’m totally just here for your feminine locks and luscious wiles
Thank you. I thought I was one of the only people who did not get Dane Cook’s appeal–he’s not funny nor is he cute. And yes Superbad was awesome! BTW, I just discovered your blog and I am loving it!
Hey Heather!!!
I run on Katy Trail on weekdays and on WRL on the weekend. I wonder if I’ve bumped into you in the past! Probably not on WRL because I start running at an ungodly hour.
Anyway I’ll try to be on the lookout next time I’m out running on the trails…SO if you see a little Asian girl frantically waving – don’t be scared, it’s just a blog reader
Oh and if you ever decide to take up running, let me know. A girl can never have enough running buddies!
cool
