Foto Week DC

Headed to DC to check out some of the exhibits and participate in a Foto Week DC competition: an overnight shoot in the DC area with computer provided to edit photos. The photos had to be taken between 7PM and 6AM that night. Unfortunately when I went to edit my photos, there was an incredibly long line for the computers. Since we had to drive back to Philly later in the night, we left before I submitted my photos.

The exhibits were moving and inspiring, hopefully I can make it back next year and participate!

Media

To celebrate my new "job" my wonderful roommates took me out to dinner at Fellini's in Media. I love the restaurants there.. I'm so going to miss strolling downtown to get a delicious lunch!

Saw a cute wire hair fox terrier outside (not the best photo) and a glasses store with pretzels in the window display.. we questioned if the pile was completely made of pretzels or if they had something (styrafoam?) underneath.

Dog Sitting Dutchess

About a month or so ago I was dog sitting for my friend while he became the bionic man. (He had a metal joint inserted to replace his knee!)

Dutchess the blue-nosed pit has definitely gotten a bit bigger (and stronger!) since we last saw her..

Unbuttoned

Last night I went out and had to use the bathroom really badly after a 45 minute drive.

I was extremely tired so when I went to the bathroom, I started unbuttoning my shirt.

Bloop.. then I realize one of my buttons is missing.

It fell off and dove into the toilet.

It was unrecoverable.

Devastated, I flushed the toilet and saw my button shoot off into oblivion.

Sweet Basil

Working at a Thai restaurant in Glen Mills, PA after my company let 25% of the work force go.

The people here are great, but the food, not so much. =X


Paul, the owner (above left), is kind of a nut job.

Food Truck

Helped my friend out at her new food truck business. Of course it was 95 degrees out and even hotter in the truck! Hopefully I'll never have to do that again.

"Perfect One"

Victoria's Secret has a new promotion: save $5 off your entire purchase by trying on the "Perfect One", Heidi Klum's new bra.

All you have to do is try on the bra and $5 will be deducted from your purchase. Sounds good to me.

Excitedly, I walk over to the display with Ms.Klum's picture.. only to discover they don't even make the new "Perfect One" in my size.

Sigh.

How perfect.

Nonetheless, I brought one into the fitting room so I could get the discount. At the counter, the cashier asked if I tried it on:

"Yes."

"How was it?"

"Uh, it was a little big.."


Goodbye self-esteem, hello $5 discount.

Dutchess

My friend's blue-nosed pit bull which he almost named 'Diamond'. If you're going to name a dog Diamond, you may as well name her Diva. I'd say Dutchess is much better.

Here she is at five months..

Interview

Today, I scheduled an interview with a company for a Product Marketing Coordinator position. I was super excited. Then I googled the company only to find it listed on ripoffreports.com and on failuremagazine.blogspot.com to beware of scams.

Go figure!

Very Light and Delicious

I've been working at this Thai restaurant for a little over a month now and I always avoid wearing short sleeve shirts because the plates are so heavy and I don't want to look overly jacked (my arms can tend to look very 'cut' according to comments in the past). However, last week was so ridiculously hot, I had to wear a short sleeve shirt.

I should've seen this coming..

One night last week I was holding the dessert tray, made of metal and rather heavy, for these customers and I was telling them that this one dessert is "very light and delicious" and one of the guys says:

"It doesn't look very light.. your muscles are bulging and your veins are popping out like they're about to wrap around your neck and strangle you!"

And all i could even think of to say was "Well, that'd be a problem then, wouldn't it?"

...I mean, what do you say to that?
