Mexican Serenade

I'm not usually one to judge other peoples sex lives; normally I say whatever you’re into is just fine. However when it is 2am, you live in the apartment next to me and what you are into is loud horrible Mexican romance music I'm gonna have something to say about it. Especially when this is not the first time. So it's Saturday night about 1:30am when I decide to go to sleep, I lay down and all of a sudden I hear it. FUCK. My crazy neighbors are playing that music again. This is about the 3rd time I have heard it (not all these times was I trying to sleep so I have a little tolerance for it). Now I guess I'm just assuming they are having sex since it's usually late at night when I hear it, it's turned up really loud and the music has a distinctively cheesy lovemaking quality. Not wanting to spoil the moment I think I will give them some time (I'm a considerate person). But after the 5th time hearing the same song (I guess that one is really sexy - too bad it is all in Spanish and I have no idea what they are saying) I decided it's either their sex lives or my sanity. So I bang on the wall (it's now almost 2am)...Nothing. Fucking Bitches. I wait a few seconds and hear that same song start up AGAIN. I bang louder. Finally they turn it down so that I barely hear it. I climb into bed feeling a little crazy...I'm pretty sure I had nightmares about being attacked by a group of Mexican musicians.


Also maybe I'm just not romantic but I don't understand wanting to listen to some super cheesy melodramatic music while having sex. I would not be able to keep a straight face.

The Magic of Hollywood

While eating my lunch in an outside courtyard this afternoon (it was really warm today) I over heard the following:

*For this to make sense it's important to know that this evening there was going to be a Democratic National Debate at a theatre right down the street from where we were. Also Hollywood is full of crazy people.

Scene: Two 35-40 year old flamingly gay men and their dog [Cuba] sit outside a Fresh and Easy on Hollywood Blvd.

Gay #1 [the flamiest of the two]: OMG have I shown you the forks they have here?

Gay #2: Yeah, how they are so tiny?

Gay #1: I KNOW. They are so Fresh and Easy.

Random gay banter continues. Punctuated by the occasional outburst. After a few minutes this woman walks up to them.

Woman: [In amazing british accent] Hello, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions regarding the election? If you plan on voting that is?

Gay#2: Um, sure.

Gay #1: Are you going to put us on Television? Are we going to be stars?

Woman: No, I don't have a video camera. But it will be going on the internet.

Gay #1: Well talk to him [referring to gay#2] I'm having one of those days.

Woman: [attempting to talk to the one guy] Ok, so I'm just going to ask you if you have decided who you are going to vote for, what influenced your decision, and what issues are most important to you.

Gay #1: [talking over the woman] Do you ever have one of those days? You know what I mean right?

Gay #2: [to gay #1] Oh my you are positively hyper today. [to woman] I'm voting for Hilary...I love Hilary.

Woman: Ok, what influcened that decision.

Gay #2: oh I don't know...ask him.

Gay #1: No don't. I'm voting for Hilary too. Though I think the whole political system is a sham. They are all robots.

Woman: [to gay #2] Well you must have some reason you chose her.

Gay #2: I'm voting for Hilary because I love her hair...she has AMAZING hair...I love her hair.

Gay #1: We both love her hair.

Gay #2: I love her hair, her persona, I love her husband.

Woman: [laughing] I see. What issues do you think are important. Which ones pertain to you.

Gay #2: I guess the economy. Yeah I think she is very strong on the economy.

Gay #1: [to woman] where are you from?

Woman: I was raised in London. But I was born in Mexico.

Gay #1: Ooooo, where?

Woman: Mexico City.

Gay #1: I LOVE Mexico City...it is full of aliens. Are you an Alien? Have you even seen them?

Woman: No I have never seen them, but I've heard.

*Gay #1 then starts talking to the woman in Spanish for awhile. She then asks if gay#2 can also speak Spanish.

Gay #1: NO he can't speak.

Gay #2: Un Pequito.

Woman: Oh. Well let me get your photos for the internet.

Gay #2: We should pose with Cuba.

Gay #1: Oh GOD don't take my picture I'm too old.

*He then strikes a series of elaborate posses.

The order of this has changed a little due to the fact I can't remember it all word for word, but that was pretty much how it went down. When I left they were attempting to get the dog to look into the camera 'dramatically'.

I wanted to take the dog. Someone should give Cuba a better life.

It's a post

soo...I realize my posting is slacking, BUT that is because I keep wanting to post from home (most of these are done at work, shh don't tell) in order to upload some rockin' pictures. However when I do attempt to do just that my computer has other plans. They generally include only allowing me to open one window at a time, freezing when I try to upload said pictures or just randomly shutting off because it fucking feels like it. Frustrating.

Which leads nicely to another point; I'm gonna buy a new computer (this weekend I think)! I'm super excited; I've had my current computer for going on 7 years. Though we have been through a lot together, it is time to get a computer that still remembers what it is to be a computer. It shall be a mac...the cheapest one. I was gonna wait till the next time I got paid, but I'm financing anyway so whats the difference right? RIGHT!

So in summation expect a post with pictures soon...actually don't, since I'm sure it will take me a while to get shit onto that computer. Hmm, whatever.

tmi....maybe?

Things I've learned about myself recently:

1. I should never live alone. My roommate having two weeks off over the holiday season planned trips home and to Boston for those 2+ weeks. I knew going into it that being alone in my apartment for about a week and a half (I was also going home for a few days) would freak me out, however I did not fully realize how I would react. I have to say that I did a better job of getting out and about than I thought...I did most anything in my power to spend as little time as possible in my apartment. But during the time I was there I turned into a total freak. I was super antsy and kinda paranoid; at one point I realized I was pacing around my apartment for no reason. Though I always talk to Sherri's cats, I was basically carrying on full conversations with them...they contributed very little. I'm sure I did other borderline insane things as well but am simply not aware of it. I probably should not tell people this because it totally makes me seem crazy but I just feel people should be aware.

2. I am not patient. I don't really feel the need to explain this; just know it is the true and I never really realized it before.

Holiday Party



Dec. 13th (yeah i know I'm not good with the time sensitive posting) was my Company's holiday party. It was a lot of fun; amazing food, open bar, dancing, more open bar, a lot more dancing. My boss sent me some photos she took that night. I look really confused in that one. That's all.
