Went to Philadelphia a few weekends ago to visit my boopy. When he was working, I had time to visit some of the sights of the city, including the Franklin Court Underground Museum where I saw the following.
I wasn't familiar with it, but it succinctly describes how I feel and one of the reasons why I volunteer. And it's shorter than the familiar adage, "Actions speak louder than words."
What are your 'Words to Live By'?
That's the title I'm going for, and considering I'm the only candidate in Jase's Super Volunteer Search 2006, I'd say my chances are pretty good.
Since the beginning of the year, I've spent six Saturdays tutoring fourth graders for APEX and helped at a fundraiser for GLSEN (photos here). I especially liked the free booze and loot (from the fundraiser, not tutoring).
My next event will be the GLBT Expo this weekend; and the March of Dimes and the AIDS walk is right around the corner, both of which I fully intend to amass mountains of goodies give myself selflessly. I am so going to win that contest.
How come no one has ever told me about Dane Cook? This guy is hilarious! I heard his name on the latest episode of The Office. Check out his website for some side-splitting audio clips.
Speaking about cooks, I am so loving Top Chef! It's a cross between Top Model and Iron Chef (no wonder!). The challenges are interesting, (most of) the chefs are creative, and the drama is real. "You will fail. And you will fail miserably!"
But for me, the most entertaining part of the show is watching this hottie. Oh boy, he can shake my ice cream any time. And he somewhat reminds me of Bradley Cooper in Kitchen Confidential. My boopy just thinks I have a thing for rugged men who can wield a knife. You decide.
Happy St. Paddy's Day! I hope you all remembered to wear green. If not, that's okay - I forgot too.
Anyway, did you know that taking copious amounts of chlorella, the wonder drug/food/supplement, can turn your poop green? How's that for a St. Paddy's Day surprise? Now make sure you take a whole bunch before going out to the bars and share in the fun!
It's karma I tell ya. All this recent talk about Sudoku being my daily diversion, and I get caught playing it at work! But it wasn't my boss, oh no.. it was my bosses' boss! Who so happens to be the top tomato in the New York office.
But he didn't approach or reprimand me himself; he had someone else tell me that he caught me1 (not that I was being sneaky about it). "I was on a break2!" I told the impartial messenger. Granted, my third Sudoku break of the day, but who's counting? "You know I don't care; he just wanted me to tell you," she replied. "Oh yea, and he made a face." I don't know what that means, but she chuckled.
On the bright side, at least he didn't catch me playing bukkake. (Thanks Jon!)
