what's for dinner?

this god forsaken question always haunts us. the city is jam packed with places to eat: cheap eats, fancy eats, cultural eats, non-edible eats, display eats, all sorts of eats! so why is that when it comes down to the question, “what’s for dinner?” we’re all stumped?

double the fun

i recently heard of a woman who googled her boyfriend’s name to only find “wedding registry” as the first match.  no, this is no coincidence. richard james is in fact engaged to shirley madison. shirley madison is, in fact, not rachel scott, girlfriend of richard james. are you lost yet?

well let me tell you more. richard james and girlfriend rachel scott have been dating for three wonderful years, falling hot and heavy in love with one another, ready to lock it down and share last names. little did rachel scott know, richard james led a second life with shirley madison - college college sweethearts, dating for ten years! are you with me now?

i know, i know. what a jerk. what a sleeze ball. but really? is he the one to be blamed? what about these two women who put their utmost trust in this one man to love, hold, in sickness and in health, in holy matrimony?  what about these women who let their guard down and put their trust in this man?

ok, i see. who wouldn’t, right? you think you know someone and BOOM you get smacked in the face. but let’s take a look at his point of view.  maybe richard james and shirley madison have been together since college. maybe richard james and shirley madison are deeply in love. maybe they’re so much in love that it’s almost boring. is love not interchangable with boring? maybe, shirley madison isn’t everything richard james wants, and in comes rachel scott.

maybe, it was supposed to be harmless flirting that got carried away with rachel scott.  maybe, richard james should have been honest with the two of them, but found that well, rachel scott doesn’t know, and neither does shirley madison - everyone is happy - no one is hurt - what is the big deal?

okay richard james — i’ve got sympathy for you, but for future references, consider being honest with the two women in the beginning. you could try using some of these lines:

“honey, i’m not 100% happy in this relationship, maybe we need a break”

“rachel, i need you, want you, but i’m never going to love you” (thanks, meatloaf)

“well, can i have the both of you?”

i mean, if he is going to be honest about everything he might as well say he is interested in staying with the both of them, are we not in a progressive era? smh…

my sunny shadow

my sister and her husband are moving out in a week and i get to move into their room. score for me, i’ve never had a room of my own (and according to Virginia Woolf, you really should have your own room…) so this will be interesting. im looking forward to throwing away junk circa 1998, painting the walls, buying a new desk, and starting a new. but this is a bittersweet occasion. my mom posted on her facebook status the other day, “how many days in 28 years?” 28 for years for her age, 9,968 days they’ve lived together. for me, well, it’s only 23 years, i guess i’ve been beaten. while i hate to admit it, or even accept it, this rite of passage is just part of life. ill take a step back and let her start her journey, but despite what she insists, i’m keeping the air bed in case she returns for one or two or three weekends.

musical snow globe

yoshi travel yoshi land
musical snow globe found in hand
deep emotions friendly ties
yoshi hands off bittersweet cries
across the water deep and blue
by the window on auspicious dues
dinkly dinkle dinkly din
the musical metals turn within
dinkle dinkly dinkle din
a mother’s worries come to fin

new york times just launched their article skimmer. the prototype is part of a series of nytimes up-and-coming features that they are testing for user feedback.  the pro is, many people probably already do this - skim headlines while at work, while walking to the train, while we wait for our friend/mom/special person come back from the bathroom while at a restaurant… - so! NYT brings everything to one screen for ya.  on the other hand…. this is exactly why the children of our future cannot hold their attention on one subject for the life of them. everything is sadly conforming to the trend of quick, small-sized infobites everyone hungers to nibble on; so long as you get the jist of it, you can get a easy B+ at the next soiree.
