sad

twitter is broken??? now what am i gonna do?

the crew

happy moment. i own the outblush item today. it was a purchase i had to make for KH's first communion. i love love love it. only its a bit tight. as you can see on the model. i got mine a size up so its more comfortable!

i rarely get clothes now a) i know how cheep they can be if you are employeed by the store b) im a poor post college girl c) im really poor. so i was happy when i bought this (MLF was in for the weekend) and i am happy now! totally worth the 29.50 which was like $34 after chi-town tax (i'll leave that for another post!)

new blog

MLF has started his own blog. OverRatting. i guess he wanted to be cool like us!

check it out.

old obsession

i used to be really in to stuff white people like. then alex and i submitted an AMAZING post and they did not use it. i got away from check the site and missed some interesting post (taking a year off, girls with bangs). i mostly like this website b.c it is spot on and while it is overly sarcastic and sometimes bourgeois, i find comfort that i like almost everything other white people like.

here is what alex and submited and was denied:

Madras, the colonial capitol of Tamil Nadu, India, is becoming a fashion must-have for a white person's wardrobe. White people are beginning to recognize that it is unacceptable to wear just one pattern of plaid, and now demand that their clothes have a menagerie of multiple plaids stitched together. Be sure to familiarize yourself with this staple before attending your next white wedding, weekend at the cape, cocktail party, barbeque or fraternity party.

While white people were once satisfied with the one print plaid, they now understand the need to combine all different plaids of the same color scheme, in order to create a uniquely preppy short, blazer, pant, skirt, dress or tie. One must be careful when deciding which pieces to purchase and examine the quality of plaid match. As all plaids are not created equal. It would be embarrassing for a white person to be caught with the same plaid patched together.

When one encounters a madras-clad individual be sure to notice the different plaids matched together. Upon receiving a compliment on their madras belt, dress, skirt or blazer, a white person will become extremely happy and proud, as if they hand picked the plaids and sewed them together themselves. Other topics of conversation with madras-sporting individuals include: living by the water and graduate school education. Please note that while there is the option to build a full madras suit, this is to be advised against. This will make you look as if you are trying, white people will notice and lookdown upon this failing effort.

While Madras is very prevalent on most college campuses, it has expanded well into suburbia and the office. This expansion has been fueled by many retailers, J.Crew in particular. To wow a fellow white person, match your madras with a sweater (see Sweaters) and a pair of boat shoes. Your look will become the envy of the event you are attending, prompting others to ask where you found your fantastic outfit. It is best to keep this a secret. White people are sneaky and may rip off your one of a kind item.

just keep running.

tomorrow is the day. i would like to say it is the day i have been training for. that i have been preparing for. but no, i guess i have a bit of that college slacker still in me.

Solider Field 10 Mile

i have JH to run with and i think MW is going to come watch. that's the good thing about have close to 30 cousins. esp since i feel like an orphan since lmh and pa-thug wont come visit me.

on to bigger and better (more intoxicating things). in the true spirit of self disctruction i went out with KL last night. (KL is a soro sister of alex and a friend of mine) i digress. we after work last night i met up with KL with at her work and we took the water taxi over to rivers. great times. while everyone else in the group sipped wine i made the first SDD of the night and went stright to kettle one gimlets. after a few rounds and the jolly company of the guys at the tables next to us we went to Market. a short side note ( i am not a cool person. i subscribe to the polo/j.crew/wasp like lifestyle. try as i might i am not nor ever will be hip.) this said i did not enjoy market. it was v. LAX, Le Deux, i seriously looked for heidi and LC the whole time.
the ups: great view from the bar, good drinks, good food (yoga pizza and hummus platter were my favs)
the downs: two bottle table service for a table on the roof top, rude wait staff

well i'm off to make pasta to carb load for my race...
