I would laugh it off (you know, if I was too drunk to think of an appropriate come back). And yet some other, not so close, friend can say the same thing in the same way, and all that elicits from me is a side-ways stare (followed by an eye-roll).</p><p>That's usually my normal reaction when I decide to let things roll off my back.

More specifically, I hate the sacrifices I'm making.</p><p>With the dog walking/cleaning/feeding morning and night, I've given up much of my usual habits and hobbies.</p><p>For the past three weeks, I haven't had time to go window shopping after work; I've declined dinner and movie plans; I've left happy hours early.</p><p>Instead of doing all that, I'm picking up dog poo. But what bothered me the most was that I couldn't volunteer for the AIDS walk this year (after 6+ years).</p><p>From that, I've just realized that I love my freedom. Freedom from taking care of someone (or something) else; especially as regimented as a taking care of a dog. Being in a house so far from the city (and my entire wardrobe) just exacerbates the situation.</p><p>On the bright side, I've only two weeks left of this responsibility. Which leads into my birthday month. And it's Fleet Week.</p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-68914484450014809372009-05-09T00:50:00.002-04:002009-05-09T03:24:36.179-04:00Thoughts House-Sitting<div><p>Being here, in the middle of the suburbs house- and dog-sitting, there's a lot of time for me to reflect inward - there's not much to do when boiling water for ramen noodles. I've come to a few conclusions:<ol><li>I really like being near the city</li><li>I'm glad I don't own a dog</li><li>there's nothing good on cable</li><li>hot dogs go well with ramen noodles</li></ol>But most important of all, I've learned how dependable, and flexible, I can be: waking up at 7:30 in the morning to walk the dog, and leaving work and sacrificing weekends to do the same at night.</p><p>What's more surprising is that I'm not upset about having to do these 'chores'. Does this mean I'm grown up now? Hm.</p><p>With all this retrospecting, I'm more appreciative of the time I spend with my friends and, especially, my Boopy. Just look at how excited I am before we head to Adele's concert!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iilgemini/3509698992/" title="Adele! by jase (iilgemini), on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3358/3509698992_c555ec83ff.jpg" width="400" alt="Adele!" /></a></p><p>I hope I keep this optimism by the end of the month.</p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-58094051637531315772009-04-28T00:03:00.005-04:002009-04-28T00:14:39.877-04:00Oh Glorious!<div><p>Have you heard of <a href="http://www.baconnaise.com/">J&D's Baconnaise</a>?

American Apparel should be worried</li><li>they have XXS for men</li><li>normally a 29" waist, the 30" fits perfectly</li><li>the pricing is closer to AA than Uniqlo - Uniqlo has nothing to worry about</li><li>there were TONS of designer collaborations</li><li>there are stuff in the store that's not online, and vice versa</li></ol></p><p>I ended up with two baseball tees that fit amazing in XS, and two pieces of jewelry. I almost bought a cardigan but decided against it last minute.</p><p>I'm going back tomorrow.</p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-82066456022179338202009-03-23T00:15:00.003-04:002009-03-23T01:15:59.662-04:00Restraint<div><p>Where are you?

With <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/">Uniqlo</a>'s amazing surprises: the <a href="http://www.openingceremony.us/entry.asp?pid=104">collaboration with Opening Ceremony</a>, denim sales, colorful undies, and now they sell packaged tanks in XS; I had promised myself not to spend any more money on clothes after <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iilgemini/3345012743/">my Burberry suit</a>. That's now out the window.</p><p>Seriously, check out this neon yellow check shirt; if I didn't get it, I could never forgive myself. Heh.</p><p>And <a href="http://www.topman.com">Top Man</a> is opening in a few weeks! I can't wait!</p><p>Ah well -- what good are promises if you can't break them, right?</p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-69031269629661271212009-03-05T21:11:00.009-05:002009-03-05T22:16:22.699-05:00I'm on the Twitters!<div><p>So this whole digital social networking thing is really wreaking havoc on my blog. So is my job (goodbye midday postings - not that I'm complaining).</p><p>The latest thing I'm starting to get into is <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>. I really like the ease of it.</p><p>Though what I've worried about is the access to stalkers it provides. And of course, (and totally indicative of how my mind works) I think that if you tweet about where you are, it broadcasts to people you're not home; and that's just like putting up a neon sign to would-be home robbers it's open season.</p><p>Of course, I know that's completely irrational since most people go to work 9-5 anyway.</p><p>But I digress. And now <a href="http://twitter.com/iilgemini" title="my twitter!">I tweet</a> about it! By the way, check out this hilarious report on the Daily Show:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><div class='cc_box' style='position:relative'><a href='http://www.comedycentral.com' target='_blank' style='display:inline; float:left; width:60px; height:31px;'><div class='cc_home' style='float:left; border:solid 1px #cfcfcf; border-width:1px 0px 0px 1px; width:60px; height:31px; background:url("http://www.comedycentral.com/comedycentral/video/assets/syndicated-logo-out.png");'></div></a><div style='font:bold 10px Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; float:left; width:299px; height:31px; border:solid 1px #cfcfcf; border-width:1px 1px 0px 0px; overflow:hidden; color:#707070; position:relative; margin: 0;'><div class='cc_show' style='position:relative; background-color:#e5e5e5;padding-left:3px; height:14px; padding-top:2px; overflow:hidden; margin: 0;'><a href='http://www.thedailyshow.com/' target='_blank'>The Daily Show With Jon Stewart</a><span style='position:absolute; top:2px; right:3px;'>M - Th 11p / 10c</span></div><div class='cc_title' style='font-size:11px; color:#868686; background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:3px; padding-top:1px; line-height:14px; height:21px; overflow:hidden; margin: 0;'><a href='http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=219519&title=twitter-frenzy' target='_blank'>Twitter Frenzy</a></div></div><embed style='float:left; clear:left;' src='http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:219519' width='360' height='301' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='window' allowFullscreen='true' flashvars='autoPlay=false' allowscriptaccess='always' allownetworking='all' bgcolor='#000000'></embed><div class='cc_links' style='float:left; clear:left; width:358px; border:solid 1px #cfcfcf; border-top:0px; font:10px Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; color:#b9b9b9; background-color:#f5f5f5; margin: 0;'><div style='width:177px; float:left; padding-left:3px; margin:0;'><a target='_blank' href='http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml'>Daily Show Full Episodes</a><br /><a target='_blank' href='http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/important_things/index.jhtml'>Important Things With Demetri Martin</a></div><div style='width:177px; float:left;margin:0;'><a target='_blank' href='http://www.indecisionforever.com'>Political Humor</a></div><div style='clear:both'></div></div><div style='clear:both; margin: 0;'></div></div></p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-40283321017704254602009-02-15T00:58:00.002-05:002009-02-15T01:08:42.509-05:00Mission Accomplished<div><p>Alright! I passed another Valentine's Day without celebrating it!</p><p>Instead of giving in to the "peer pressure" where everyone expects you to celebrate your affection with your significant other (and buy into all that crap), I decided to celebrate my other love: shopping.</p><p>A day at Woodbury Commons; it was glorious. I fell in love all over again with John (Varvatos that is).</p><p>And even though I don't need a day to say this (and in no way does this mean I'm giving in to V-day), I love you boopsie!</p></div>Jasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14576117335267807513noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641989.post-35260986209700528942009-02-11T00:49:00.002-05:002009-02-11T01:01:17.177-05:00Beautiful Day<div><p>The weather today was nice and temperate.
