Mmmango

I'm going to some ghetto dentist tomorrow for a cleaning, exam, and whitening for $1. I saw this ad on Facebook and clicked on it thinking a whitening for $1, WOW!! - and that's how I got this appointment. So, if I show up to work on Tuesday with no teeth, ya'll know why.

Just watched the final Flight of the Conchords, sad!! Speaking of that, Dave was here for a visit and we went to some of the show locations bc we are mega dorks.
Henry St. Apt. New Zealand Consulate (actually a disgusting "disbandoned" building) Dave's Pawn Shop I introduced Dave to Red Mango. We were appalled to find that the inside of the yogurt was hollow! I'm hungry after looking at that photo (that's kiwi and Golden Grahams on top in case you were wondering.)

I went to a bridal event at Bed, Bath, and Beyond last week. They pretty much forced you to learn about china and other household products and tried to get you to register for them. The strange thing about this event is that you were contacted over email about it if you've already registered at BB and B. So, why were they trying to get everyone to register at this shindig if everyone there was already registered?! Anyway, they had 20 raffles for some kickass housewares and unfortunately I didn't win (I'm so good at winning things like that too, I was disappointed - they called #s 35, 36, and 38 and I was number 37.) We did get a goodie bag (actually, an extremely heavy bag that I barely got home) full of random fancy glass things which was fun. I also met Monique Lhuillier whose name I can never spell correctly. She explained her entire line of china to me which was kind of awkward but she was lovely.
Melanie wore one of her creations back in 2005
I am super excited to see Ladyhawke on Tuesday. Except that I heard she's really bad live. And I also heard that she has Asperger's Syndrome. Putting two and two together, well, I don't have high expectations but we'll see. I also have White Lies/Friendly Fires on Thursday. I only know 2 WL songs though, I'd better hop on that.

Highlight of the weekend:
Dancing with the girls to the Ronson/Winehouse version of "Valerie" all over the front of Fiddlesticks at 8 pm last night. Wedding "do" playlist please!

Rabbit in Your Headlights

I went to Scottsdale for work last week. The hotel was really nice, but the rabbits were a little scary. At night there'd be clusters of them in the dark waiting to jump me, it was super creepy.

I left the hotel at 4:30 am to go to the airport. Flight was fine, but when I landed the car never showed. I called and they said the flight didn't land till 4:45 pm. Well, actually, no dipshits, it landed at 1:45 pm as scheduled and I am standing in the freezing cold, ugh!!!

Saw the Bing girls for Sherri's birthday that night at Divine Bar, then went for food at Vinyl with Vicki and Thom. There was a Vanilla Ice doll on display hehe.

Yesterday I got woken up at 8:30 am by a hang up phone call. It was Saturday errand day and I did nothing but catch up on all of my DVRed shows after the gym. I also watched Eagle vs. Shark which was aiight.

Today I went to the West Village for brunch with Kat, Ryan, and Sanj because he's in town for the week. We went to Off the Wagon after for some pitchers. Yeah Sunday drinks in the pub!

Dave is coming for a visit on Thursday (woohoo!!) I'm looking for fun things to do. Ideas I am considering (that primarily include food):

- Peanut Butter Co.
- Long Island Day (show him wedding venue, hotel, etc.)
- Dinners with various peeps
- Possible football match (but prob on Fox Soccer Channel in the apt.)
- Ghetto 1st ave. Indian food
- Flight of the Conchords Season 2 marathon
- Scavenger hunt led by Ryan's dude
- Greenpoint warehouse giggage

Any other ideas?

If I hear about school snow days tomorrow one more time I'm going to throw the TV out the window.
