I hate you

santa ana winds that is!

although we don’t get those here in atlanta, i think her cousin was here visiting yesterday . . . that is the only way i can explain my horrible horrible emotional roller coaster day.

yesterday i woke up full of promise. i was cheerful and it was early (9:30) and i was prepared to spend the morning garage saling and getting all kinds of charming things for my new house. there was nary a sale to be found so i came back wth my blood simmering . . . it would boil over soon enough.

set up some laundry then tried to do work – that regressed to intermittent napping, weeping and watching Ever After and Love Actually (neither movie made me feel any better). Then my crying and craziness turned to incredible rage – i couldn’t figure out at what i was so pissed off at. i showered to cool myself down – but i was still furious. i went to CVS, and almost killed the sales clerk there because she kept insisting i get a CVS card.

i went home and went back to sleep – the Rage left, and then i was just feeling sad a alone. Next up, lulu and i went to a party down the road. We tried hard to be social and not condescending and bitchy – but it didn’t go too well. we were both in such foul moods that we ended up sitting for most of the time on the front stoop – just the two of us – talking about all manner of sad, personal things. not the most appropriate place to have a heart to heart, but whatever.

i drank WAY too much and woke up this morning feeling like my head had been used as a soccer ball – BUT! seems as though the funk is gone (yay!). i am actually cheerful today, and not ready to cry/punch a hole in the wall. i cleaned, did some homework and danced a bit with tammy in my new (empty) living room. now im off to meet up with lulu for some planting . . . i have a good feeling that today wont end on the same miserable note as yesterday (i haven’t cried once! yipee!!)

xoxoxo, TBQ

Breakin’ at Harlem Bar

I love this wordpress application I am at the gym AND blogging!

Last night Jordan, the Frenchwoman and I went to Harlem bar for some dinner. Everything was fantastic. I broke my vegetarianism for the night and got catfish fingers, mac and cheese, sweet plantains and collards. To top it off I had a ‘yellow cab’ a drink with OJ, champagne and grand marnier. So we were having a great time, eating and gabbing and then I saw it… They were projecting Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo on the wall… I freaked out and the waitress was not impressed that I knew what it was and frowned when I showed her my interpretation of ‘popping’. The snaps after the jump . . .

BIG NEWS!

Johnny Rockets – a lesson in disgusting

A few weeks back lulu, Jordan, berry and I decided we had no clothes and had to go shopping. For poor female graduate students there are really only two store options (1) H&M and (2) forever 21

Seeing how H&M wasn’t open yet in Atlanta we decided to make the trip up to Lawrenceville to hit up the forever 21 at discover mills mall. Discover mills is a mall owned by Discover card – and they make their presence known. There are posters all over the place for Discover, banners, booths and so on and so forth. The place was already weird – but got progressively weirder as we walked around. There was wall to wall carpeting and a dentist kiosk where you could get your teeth whitened for 35 dollars. Now I hadn’t been to a mall since my junior year in college when I went to Copley Place to go to saks to buy some jeans . . . this mall was not like Copley Place.
