life and leftovers, very little love.

should i be concerned that less than a week into his visit here, my little brother has managed to not only meet someone who is both funny and good looking but alltogether a ton more normal than anyone who i have been on a date with in the past couple of months?! and did i mention that he's not even a permanent resident of the island, but only VISITING?!?

i suppose i should be less concerned with the unwavering overall consensus that my brother is a charmer but more concerned with the fact that when he easily manages (within a week for god's sake!) what i find to be an almost impossible task, i am immediately filled with scorn and malice and just a twinge of burning jealousy? and want his much anticipated visit to come to a hasty if not ill-fated end?

what's sad is that this makes me feel worse than the lonliness.
um.. therapist? is there a therapist in the audience? i wonder how much my psychiatric co-pay is... hrmm..

in more well-adjusted news, since i am now officially dating my office (i refuse to talk about work for fear if the relationship goes sour, and i blog about it, i will be out much more than a boyfriend.) but lets just suffice it to say that i am a damn good boyfriend to that needy bitch. and things on that front are going swimmingly. im filming my first commercials at the end of this month and my work on another project is being lauded as some of the best work for this particular brand (market-specific work.) to happen in quite a number of years. yay! (oh, and watch for me in the next issue of radar magazine. im a contributor! i probably shouldn't be bragging about this last one.)

so if i could just manage to scrape together a life that isn't limited to netflix, a rotating slew of novels, and porn, ill be doing much better.

but whilst we're on the subject: the new harry potter book is excellent, the new tim burton movie isn't.
kudos for staying true to the story, but jeers for falling so short of the original. JEERS i say!

thoughts on the week. end.

i went on a date this past friday, and i wrote a poem about it:

we
don't
have much
time, he said.
so ill just
tell you about
me.

then we went to applebee's in time's square for dessert.

and i found out that i can't find frito's anywhere in my neighborhood. which really kind of ruins my plans to make a frito pie. if you haven't had one, i suggest it. its not so much a pie as it is heaven in a bag. directions to follow:

take on small bag of frito's brand corn chips. (this is the most important ingredient. no substitutions are acceptable.)
into the open end, pour warm-to-hot chili (with beans, please.) add shredded cheese. stir. then enjoy.

it's as simple as, well, frito pie. and twice as delicious. i wanted one but without frito's i was left without. so i ate sushi instead. it wasn't nearly as good. the rice was too al dente.

then i had a breakthrough - i went and saw a movie all by myself. this is something i never do. but the movie was excellent - me and you and everyone we know. go see it immediately. stop reading. stop it. go see this movie. you'll understand what i mean when its over.
