Guilt Trip

I've been giving my co-workers a hard time about what I might be allergic to. Now whenever they ask me to do something like take a call or if they even just walk by I say morosely, "Maybe that's what I'm allergic to..." It was funny the first ten times but now they're getting quite sick of me. It won't, however, stop me from doing it.

The Best of 2007

Alright guys, it's the end of the year and that means poll time.

What Would Mel Gibson Do?

This is a funny game my co-worker just sent me.

Jesus Camp

If you ever want to sit in front of your TV frozen with your mouth agape, watch this documentary called Jesus Camp. Let's just say it's about these kids that are sent to get the sin smacked out of them so they can get to prayin'. The woman who runs the place condemns science and blesses the powerpoint machine before use so that the evil spirits won't make it break in the middle of the presentation.

What A Weekend!

Wow, things sure got crizazay this weekend. First of all, Thursday I ended up in a hospital via a nice ambulance ride due to an allergic reaction to I don't know what. Long story short my throat almost completely closed up and I had to get the shot of adrenaline, just like Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, except it wasn't in my heart and Urge Overkill didn't underscore the three block ride to Lenox Hill hospital which by the way is the best hospital ever. I got my own room and TV and spent all day chilling on a bed on the company dime. Pretty sweet. They finally let me out at 6 PM and I went home with a prescription for steroids, the name of an allergist and a spanking new pair of Epi-Pens.

The next day I went to a wedding in lovely Cape May, NJ which is a cross between a small beachside town and a young girl's dollhouse set. It is actually the National Award winner for "Best Painted Town". We had our own house and it was pretty cool. Plus I was on steroids so I was feeling totally buff and awesome. Unfortunately I had a bit of what is called the old "Roid Rage" and ended up bludgeoning all of my housemates while they slept. No, I'm just kidding!!! But I thought about it.

Anyway, I am back and feeling a lot better. And I'm going to an awesome New Year's party tonight will all of my friends!

So really the question is- anyone want to buy some black market adrenaline?

MeTube

I am officially a YouTube whore. No, not like that kind! I got this awesome camera for Christmas that takes video so I will now bore you with videos of my dog not really doing anything impressive other than being cute. Enjoy.

Design This

I've spent the last hour designing my bedroom.

What Time Is It

I just want to go home and play with my toys.

Aw

Oh, I hate it when this dog does an impersonation of me.

No Thanks

If you couldn't tell from my last post, I'm still drunk hungover from last night's Jesus's birth shenanigans. So I really want some udon. Again with the udon, I know! So I'm adding a sushi roll to my order when I see they have the option to "add natto". I don't know what "natto" is but I goddamn well know how to google so I do and this picture shows up and now I want to barf.

Rap It Up

I'm gone for a few days and a freaking tiger with a "history of violence" escapes the zoo and kills someone. Jesus Christ. Oh, it was his birthday yesterday, speaking of which. Jesus, not the tiger.

Anyway, here's Bindi Irwin rapping about animals.

Are We There Yet?

My belly is full with udon, I've solved several crises here at work, taken out more cash for my boss and now I'm ready to go home.

Udon

I have has the craziest craving for udon soup today. I thought about it last night, I thought about it this morning on the delayed F train, and it was still on the brain as I sashayed my way into the office. I mentioned it to a co-worker and she was like, holy shit, udon. Right? Doesn't that sound great?

Doghouse

"They can put a man on the moon but they can't invent a puppy just for Christmas."

- (some comedian whose name I forgot)

I'm trying to convince my co-worker to adopt a dog. I mean, check this out.

Resting Time

Today has been crazier than a rat in a tin shithouse. I've written about million holiday cards and put different increments of money in them for every single maintenance/door person in the building. My bosses are scrambling around the office to finish things before they take very long vacations in very hot climates, one of the gifts I bought online isn't getting delivered in time for Christmas (sorry Lawyergirl) and I can't stop eating chocolate. Who wants to siphon whiskey into my mouth this evening?

Chocolate Rain

Wow. Based on a colossal holiday gift our company just received, there is going to be some serious re-gifting going on on my part.

Security Detail

I'm about to withdraw $17,700 in $50's and $20's at the bank down the street. Please don't mug me.

Frum The Heart

My co-workers and I were talking about weird dating sites. I mean there's Amish dating, Korean dating, and now... Frumster. Frum is another word for Orthodox Jews and until now, the only way to meet a mate was to stay within your immediate community. Now you can search several, even dozens of blocks away.

I'm sorry, was that kind of offensive.

Commercial Break

Ah, the old times.

Stricken

I've been thinking a lot about this writer's strike. When your union is on strike you actually have to go there and march, preferably outside the studio you work in. But what happens when my union goes on strike? You see, I belong to the Screen Actors Guild, and allegedly our union is striking in a few months. Where will I strike? Outside of my non-existent acting job?

A Baby

The biggest news story of the day is not that Britney Spears' 16 year old sister is pregnant, it's that she DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED. Actual quote from her: "It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Oh my god. Does that mean you didn't have sex? Somebody get this girl an anatomy model of a uterus, stat.

That's the thing about the Spears family. Do you know "Spears" is actually a stage name? Here's the true story.

Many years ago, Britney's mom walked into this agent's office and said, "I have an act that will blow your mind. First, I've got a very talented daughter. She'll be a pop icon, sing halfway decently, and when she's 16 she's going to get a boob job and become a young sex symbol. But wait... it gets better. After a few years she'll lose her mind, marry some dude for 55 hours, get divorced, pick up a nice cocaine addiction and marry a useless and mildly retarded backup dancer with two children who were born with fetal alcohol syndrome from a previous relationship. And then after two more kids born 9 months apart, they get divorced, she goes to rehab three times, shaves her head, beats a car with an umbrella, gets high on vicodin and tequila minutes before she performs live on the VMA's, and right after that her 16 year old sister gets mysteriously pregnant."

The agent says, "Wow. What do you call yourselves?"

"The Aristocrats!"

"How about 'Spears'?"

"Ok."

Game Time

Okay, TMZ has a camera live outside of my office. At exactly 3:50, I will be outside and wave.

update

OK, did anyone see me? I had a nice conversation with the TMZ camera people. They actually act like real paparazzi. "C'mon! Wave for us!" So I put my coat over my head and ran them over with my Porche.

Bassetty

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's nothing cuter than a fucking Bassett Hound puppy.

Fun With Legos

This is hilarious- it's an interpretation with Legos of one of comedian Eddie Izzard's jokes.

It's Just Like Food

My building had a "Holiday Buffet" and it took place on a floor that was still under construction. Or maybe I mistook the "fake snow on the beams" for asbestos.

Shake It Up

My dear friend, let's call him "Matthew", threw a huge surprise party for his wife "Sam" this weekend. It was incredible. There was an open bar, everyone was dressed to the nines, the food was wonderful and it's always great to hang out with my friends. So naturally, the conversation turned to vibrators.

Have you heard of this one? It's a programmable vibrator. You can actually set it depending on if you're in the mood to take your time, or if you'd like, there's the option of "quickie". You can even program it to fall asleep immediately or sneak out at 2 AM without leaving a note.

Movies

I don't know if you've ever had to catch the last 5 minutes of Deck The Halls, the Matthew Broderick/Danny DeVito vehicle about two families or something. I have. I don't want to give away the ending but let's just say that when Danny DeVito's family tries to turn the switch on their house the neighbors helped decorate because he wants to be able to have the first house visible from outer space (true), and it doesn't work, everyone feels bad, but then that chick from Wicked starts to sing a song and people hold their cellphones up to create light, and everyone's smiling and waving their cellphones, and then some kid's like, "Wait a minute, we forgot to plug it it!" and at the risk of electrocution he plugs in the lights and the astronauts can see the house. Really.

New Year

Resolutions, resolutions resolutions!!!

Now is the time people. I normally don't do New Year's resolutions because well, they're dumb, but rules are made to be broken so why the hell not!

I think this year I'm going to be a bit more active politically. On a serious note, we're on very dangerous ground these days, and it's made worse by the majority of our country's passivity. For example, look at the transit fare hike- it's kind of outrageous seeing as how the MTA admitted embezzling, I mean, losing a bunch of money that was in the surplus. It's kind of like that few billions of dollars we misplaced in Iraq that no one seems to care about. Well, what if we the riders did an all city boycott of the MTA? It might work- can you imagine?

Man, I'm gonna need a bigger soapbox.

Faces

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my 1,000th post and the one year anniversary of Tempy. I was trying to think of the best way to celebrate, and I think I want to take the time to honor those that inspire me. You, bloggers of the universe, websites with puppies and kitties and celebs. Some of you I know, some of you I don't, but I'd like to take the time to imagine that in this age of cyber anonymity, who would you be based solely by your blog? How would people think of you and better yet, how would you look?

I've taken the time to picks some of my favorite bloggers, and imagine who they really might be.
