Under the Sea

I am thinking about bringing back the "week in review" posts I used to do, so long as they don't consist of "Mon: work, Tues: work, Wed: work" and the like, because then they would be kind of boring. We'll see what happens; my guess is that they would largely revolve around food. But the reason I was thinking of this was because of all the eating that has gone on this weekend. It's like being an eating machine.

On Friday night, since Amy was in town, we went out to Caracas for arepas, then to Rice to Riches for rice pudding and then to Oliva for sangria... and there was even talk of going out to Queens to search for the arepa lady. If only we had the energy and space in our stomachs (we didn't, on either count). A ton of food and a really heavy food coma.

But the other trend, other than a lot of food, has been that I have been eating seafood all weekend. We did a summer associate lunch at Nobu 57 on Friday, which was like all seafood, and then we went for all you can eat sushi last night for dinner. Then today, we went out for my dad's birthday and we went to Aquagrill. Lots and lots and lots of fish. I love fish, so this was good, but sooooooooo much good food this weekend. I really need to work out. But tomorrow morning, it's right back into a nice chair at work. If only we had those treadmill desk setups ... that could literally change the lives of office workers who are usually confined to their chairs.

My mom claims she has some sitdown exercises that you can do. I wonder if any of them are possible to do in a skirt without attracting a lot of attention from flailing around everywhere. Any suggestions for exercises that you can do seated in an office while doing work?

Miss Universe

Miss Japan should have won.

Sigh.

But I was happy to see Kayne's dress in a recognizable form... yay!

More Feud

You've got to be kidding me.

A different episode - They asked a hundred married men, "Name a way in which your wife is like your mother."

Answers?

1. Both good cooks

2. Both nag (this was my answer)

3. Both care about me (awww)

4. Same height (what the...?)

5. Both female (umm....)

6. Both like to talk

Such odd answers...

Family Feud

First of all, what a horrible question. Second, how bad are these answers?

"Name a quality a man looks for in a wife that he also looks for in a secretary."

One contestant's answer: "Brains."

Buzzzzzzz. "X"

Not there.

I'm not sure what I think of that.

Answers?

Good looks, efficiency, neatness, personality, good figure, loyalty, honesty.

Learning Styles

But I said I'm good at remembering names... is that auditory? At least, I used to be good at it...

You Are a Auditory Learner

You tend to remember what you hear, and you have a knack for speaking well. You excel at debating, foreign languages, and music. You would be an excellent diplomat - or rock star!

What's Your Learning Style?

But I Don't Really Like Cats

I don't really like cats other than baby kittens (if they don't come near me) and tigers...

You Are: 50% Dog, 50% Cat

You are a nice blend of cat and dog. You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful. And while you have your moody moments, you're too happy to stay upset for long.

Are You More Cat or Dog?

Sarcasm

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments

While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge. In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead! And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in. Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

How Sarcastic Are You?

Crazy

Torrential downpours is the theme of the day.

 

When I tried to wake up this morning, it was pouring straight against the window and so dark out that I went back to sleep.

 

By the time I went to work, they had said that it was going to clear up.  Sure enough, it was bright and sunny and I came in with sunglasses.  It was still not too bad when we went to lunch, fairly sunny.

 

I thought when they said "clear up," they meant for the rest of the day!

 

Apparently not.

 

When we left lunch, it was pouring.  Waited for it to let up and then took the subway one stop.  Got ice cream and it was finally done raining.  Just very wet.

 

Back to work and now it's pouring again.  Thundering nonstop.  Ick.

Adoption

I adopted a giant panda today.

 

I am going to pretend it is Tai Shan.

Eating Machine

A big BLAH to my inability to stop eating!!!!!

I think I just ate way too many lychee gummies. Bad bad bad bad!

And before that, a couple of bites of cake, and before that, a huge salad for lunch, since I just realized the place down the block has a fixed price salad with 5 add-ins plus free stuff, unlike the one in the building which is pay per ingredient. And before that, I was eating one of those giant sized Costco chocolate muffins all morning. Ack!!

I'll go chew gum. That should solve it. Yeah.
