Mystery Pantyhose (ho's?)


Quandry: I have no clean pantyhose to wear to work this morning.

Query: Where did these great, grey opaque tights come from (no snags or other tell-tale signs of Jennifurness...)


I put on pantyhose this morning that I'm not positive are actually mine...

Are they yours Becki?


Oh dear.

Blechk


I wish I could talk about chivalry but I am a mess when it comes to dudes and will settle for acknowledges that I exist and does not blow nose on me. 
I feel gross (possibly because I am coming down with a cold), and tired, and distracted, and anxious. Can we have a phone date this weekend, Jennifur? Of course, I'll have to get my phone issues sorted out since I killed mine this morning. So I suppose I'll call you. After a year and a half of being chewed on and thrown and placed suspiciously close to leaky bottles... it was a splash from my water bottle that made my phone decide it was enough for this world.  I hope I don't loose my pictures... or my funny text messages... or my ringtone! My mom is bringing me the "extra phone" tomorrow when she picks me up at the airport. 
My cousin's wedding is this weekend. I spent about $60 on a dress for it and $11 on a gift. In my defense, my parents already gave her some baking pans and Rachel Ray cookbooks with mine and my sister's names on the card. I bought her a set of 2 cereal bowls with scenes from Central Park on them from Fishs Eddy. They were 50% off but much cuter than the Manhattan skyline salt and pepper shakers I was considering. I am clearly not an adult and terrible at buying wedding gifts. Honestly, this is the first one I've bought. I have given two wedding cards however. Oh and tossed some money in a wedding money bowl.  Maybe by the time my close friends get married I will be more mature and capable of giving appropriately valuable and sentimental gifts.

Chevalier


QUERY: Where has all the chivalry gone? ( I do recognize that chevalier (horseman) and chivalry (non-existant in contemporary american society) do not mean the same thing - but go with me here...)



So i'm standing on the bus this morning on my way to work - downtown Chicago rush hour - not fun, but average. The stupid bus takes so long to arrive that I end up walking a few blocks north and boarding at the bus stop there in hopes of getting a seat, no such luck. Fortunately two stops in, right before we are going on the highway express, a mother and child get off the bus leaving two seats open right by me! Score! I try to inch by the mid-forties white male in suit to get my coveted seat, and say excuse me to the guy who is barely blocking my way (let me clarify that I was closer, and had been on the bus longer, and therefore more entitled to the golden glorious bus seat) seeing that my eyes were on the only remaining seat he looks at me, looks at the seat and slams himself into - then promptly goes to sleep. ( I don't believe he was actually asleep, i think he couldn't look me in the eye for the shame.)


Example 2: Men at work let me pour coffee and open doors for them...which would be fine if my work was waitressing - but it's not.

Opposite: In my acting class our instructor lugs a coffee maker, creamer, and cups from home (to make sure we can stay awake after a long day at work followed by a long night of acting.) I went to get coffee the other night, all I did was lift my cup, one of the fellows poured my coffee, the other the creamer, a different type of man. Interesting.


Query 2: Are artistic men more chivalrous than business men?
Query 3: Can business men be artistic?
Quandry 1: Why don't I have an artistic business man?
Take it Becki,
Jennifur

There could be more of these!

The Videoblog


I am considering videoblogging my way through laser eye surgery. Here is a clip I made a few weeks ago on my Flip camera (not phone) ...mostly just to hear myself talk. And remember... there could be more of these!

(garr... can't get video to work right now... will try again later. in leu,  here is a picture of me as Drew Barrymore)




On a side  note, I've stopped hyperventilating about my ominous roommate brunch tomorrow. And mostly because I've been able to delude myself into thinking that either
 A) they want to do a room shuffle... and I'll get a bigger room!
or
B) one of them is moving out... and I'll get a bigger room. And my friend Hannah can move in!

Hey, it could happen.
