Sunday Sighting

Do I have to change my stance on the Central Park drinking fountains if I saw Ethan Hawke drinking out of one this past weekend?

We were babysitting 'boyfriend's' nephew, and we went to a playground in the park where Mr. Hawke was with his kids (he looks like a pretty cool dad, btw). He was in deep convo with what appeared to be his buddy, and he must've been parched. I also saw moms letting their kids drink from this fountain. I even saw 'boyfriend' let nephew drink from this fountain. Is it ok if the fountain is in a playground? If Ethan and moms and kids are drinking from it, is it ok?

I think I need to further research this subject.

Central Park Drinking Fountains

I see way too many people drinking out of the water fountains in Central Park. I know when it's hot outside and you've been walking/running/skipping/gallivanting for miles, that a nice piss-warm sip of water is just what you think you need to quench your thirst, but I would REEEEALLY rethink that if I were you.

I've seen homeless people use it as a urinal. I've seen people let their dogs lick it in the scorching summer heat. I've even spied a piece of poo in one before.

And I'm not just talking about people who don't know, like tourists. Runners are sucking on those things like it's their job. You live in NY! You've seen things here that you don't want to see! Like naked men outside of Port Authority swinging their junk around. And people taking dumps on the street (I haven't seen that, but I know someone who did). Why on earth would you think that icky, nasty, yucky things have not happened to, on or otherwise to those fountains!?!?

You can't say I didn't warn you.

Although, if you're a hypochondriac and carry Lysol wipes around with you and want to wipe it down b/f you take a swig, then maybe it's ok. And that's a big MAYBE.

Husband Called...

Luckily for me, 'boyfriend' found this almost as funny as I did. Kinda makes me want to get married. Like now.

Step Up

We all know I'm the Queen of Cheese, but I really took it up a notch by watching Step Up last night. I had it DVR'd from a few weeks ago, which makes me a little naush, but whatev.

I would just like to say that DAY-YUM! that Channing Tatum can move! I caught myself with this big cheesy grin on my face halfway through the "final show!" Thank God 'boyfriend' didn't walk in on me during that. I never would've heard the end of it. He did, however, walk into the room earlier, and I changed the channel quicker than I have ever changed it before! Of course he caught me and was like, "what were you just watching!?!?" No sweetie, it wasn't porn, so get your mind out of the gutter and leave me alone with my girly movies!

In case you forgot what hottie looks like (may I just say that I am v. disappointed in the lack of pix of Channing w/ his shirt off on the internet. Step Up! hehe)..

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

Fake, but funny. Enjoy! (Sorry it takes so long to show up on my page. It's worth the wait)!

New Crush!

Oh yeah, and since his performance last night brought the rather DULL VMA's back to life, I have a newfound crush on Chris Brown, who is so young you could arrest me just for looking at him.

Oh wait, he's 18! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damn You Britney!

I am so mad at Brit. I was really hoping for an amazing come-back last night on the MTV VMA's, and instead I got a skanky, drugged-up or drunk (I'm assuming this b/c she almost fell over numerous times), barely-moving, crazy-blue-eyed, half-hearted Britney. Where's our old pop princess!?! We miss you! Obvs she was going to lip-synch b/c that's what she does. We're used to that much, but it's usually done w/so much more enthusiasm! I refuse to even post the video on my blog. But you can find it here. She's not even moving!!!

I wish the fight between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock broke out during Britney's performance. At least then the focus would've been off her and she would've had an excuse!


Britney, I can't even look at you right now.

The Hottest Place On Earth

This afternoon, my company is having our Summer Outing here:
A. It's not summer anymore.
B. The location is not my first choice.
C. I can't find my lei.

'Nuf said.

Sloppy Joe, Slop, Sloppy Joe

Remember in elementary school when every other Friday's lunch was sloppy joe? Well I do b/c it was so damn good and sloppy! I don't think I've had it since...so when my mom said my pops had requested sloppy joe for dinner last night (he's so funny), I followed suit!

I'd never made it before b/c I thought it was bad for me. But if you make it w/ ground turkey instead of the usual burg and put it on whole wheat hamburger buns, it's delicious and although probably still ridiculously unhealthy, it's at least a little better. Just have it w/ a side of brocolli or something. Get off my case people!

It might be the easiest, sloppiest dinner ever! In case you were wondering, here's the delish recipe:

This recipe serves 6, so it's great for sloppy leftovers!

1 lb. ground turkey

1 med. onion, chopped

1/3 c. green pepper, chopped

1/3 c. celery, chopped

1/3 c. ketchup (I ended up using 1/2 c.)

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (I used 2 tbsp)

1/4 c. water

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. tobasco

Brown beef, onions and pepper until cooked through. Drain grease. Add remaining ingredients. (Keep adding ketchup, Worcestershire and tobasco to your liking). Let simmer for 1/2 hour.

And then 'boyfriend' started throwing it at me, and then things got reeeally sloppy!

Eat, Pray, Love

I just found out that the wonderful book I'm reading right now called Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, is being made into a movie starring Julia Roberts (I'm way behind, as this was announced almost a year ago. Oops).

The book is the story of a woman who thought she had the perfect life (house, job, husband, etc.)...until one day she finds herself crying on her bathroom floor, wanting more out of life, out of herself. Begging for an answer, she hears a voice tell her to quit your crying and get up, bitch! OK, I made that up...the voice just says, "Go back to bed, Liz."

She ends up divorcing her husband and in a state of depression decides to travel in an attempt to fill what is missing in her life to, coincidentally, three "I" countries. Italy, where she learns the beautiful Italian language, "EAT"S until she's blue in the face and begins the slow healing process that comes with a bitter divorce. Then on to India to attend an Ashram temple where she learns about herself through "PRAY"er, meditation, chanting, yoga, and finally "meets" her Guru.

And that's as far as I've gotten...but I'm sure she'll do some "LOVE"ing in Indonesia. Hopefully some SEXing too...b/c I like that shit.

I'm not a book reviewer people. Just read it. Preferably before the movie comes out...
