Another “I’m distracted watching the Cubs but must blog” post


contemplations and life observations, silly life observations / Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Watching the Cubs give me a heart attack playing Milwaukee…geezus! Although they just scored, and now it is 4-3…man, at least you can say they are fighting for it!
So I got a notice in the mail about my dog barking during the day…from the Unknown Hall Neighbor who I have yet to meet, but complains a lot to the condo board and likes to leave anonymous post-its on my door threatening expulsion…see, high school doesn’t end! It annoys me to no end cause I know it is not my dog. If Ollie barks, its at a squirrel, and not this “all day” busy this person keeps insisting it is…and of course, I am the girl that just wants everyone to live in harmony, I was the one who knocked on everyone’s door when I moved in to say, hey, I’m your new neighbor, let’s be friends…only to get laughed at. And for being “pet friendly”, they sure aren’t…and it annoys me because I try to be the good neighbor…and always get screwed. Maybe I should start being the bitch, and then they’ll stop hatin’ on Ollie! Geezus, he’s a dog. Wonder how they’d complain if it was a crying kid…can you imagine? Can they even fine you for a crying kid? lol.

A lot of people are commenting to me that I should take a dance class, since I have become obsessed with dance. But now I dont know where to take it…which type to take…and really, how much is this going to cost me? In this (non) recession, I can barely make mortgage payments let alone have a “social” agenda that involves “money” (I put that in quotes because money implies actual cash…and I, like any good North Shore brat would do, only carry plastic)…I think I would do good with Swing because I love the music…and salsa, although I can’t imagine actually going to a salsa club by myself so grown men could cop a feel and disguise it as dancing…but maybe I’m getting ahead of myself…after all, who says grown men can dance?

Last week I was so busy I watched one hour of tv. ONE. This from the girl who averages 12 hours a week on a slow week…geezus. I have Mad Men to watch. Weeds to TiVo (hate to be the only one in the office who hasn’t seen it!). The Wire, apparently, to watch. Not to mention the finale of SYTYCD, My Boys, catch up on House, and still be able to watch the Cubs sweep the Brewers! Too much TV, too little time. By the time I catch up, fall season will be here!

I miss “the country” (which is what I call “up north”, which is really just the hour-away suburbs) already…I just left, but I miss the wide open spaces! The not hearing people run up and down the stairwell…the porch…the 52″ widescreen…the oven that can bake chocolate chip cookies and not set off both fire detectors…

Ok, I’m random. And thus closes another one of my “I’m distracted watching the cubs but feel the need to purge useless information from my brain cavity so I can fill it with more useless knowledge tomorrow” blog. Hope you’ve enjoyed!:)
