The top 5 things pissing me off this week
1. BBBBBBBRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Waking up to this every morning... and I mean EVERY morning. Dear apartment complex, I appreciate your efforts for keeping our community clean and looking pretty, but don't you think it's just as effective to blow leaves at noon as it is to blow leaves at 7am? Just a suggestion. Thanks for listening.
2. Fat men on airplanes. Ok so this isn't the exact picture of the fat man that was sitting next to me on my flight to Denver last Thursday, but there was in fact a man almost as big as the one pictured here sitting right next to me. I had the middle seat after a long week and a long day of work and classes on a 5 hour flight. The fat man sitting in the window seat kept spilling over into my seat. My response? I kept sneezing in his direction in hopes that my germs might encourage him to try and shift his fat slightly over. The result? I landed up my a snot covered fat man sitting next to me for five hours. Greeeeeeat.
3. People who are older than me but have 0 manners. Ok, let's get something straight here. If you are a good friend of mine and I love you a whole lot, I make sure you know it. Everyone else can go eff themselves. I am an incredibly busy person juggling 4 classes, 2 internships and the social life of a second semester senior and I just don't have time for people who demand things of me or tell me that I need to do things for them. Guess what - I don't NEED to do anything for you and I definitely WON'T be of assistance to you if you demand things from me. Learn some basic respect for other human beings please.
4. Old people driving. Today on my way to work my car nearly got hit by 3 old people switching lanes without indicating or even looking. It's a good thing I'm always such a cautious driver in Miami or else me and the poor YAM-express would be lying in a gutter somewhere right meow. I do solemnly swear to make enough money in my life so that by the time me and my future husband are old, we can hire some young thang to drive us around town instead of putting the rest of the world's population at risk.
5. Rush hour traffic. SOMEONE PLEASE BLOW UP US1. For the love of baby Jesus. Three days a week I get to sit in rush hour traffic going to AND coming from work on Miami Beach. Le sigh. Frustration frustration frustration. Thank god for good tunes and chain smoking.
And there you have it. On a completely unrelated note - at 3:30pm everyday in my office someone plays the theme tune from TopChef and it makes me giggle uncontrollably. Teehee ;)

food for thought
I love bad dreams. They remind me of the goodness of life.
Remainders are what we have when other things have gone,
but, surely, that is better than nothing?
Whatever gets you through the day only works once.
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one
you've never tried before.
We are suicides in our longing for immortality.
You are the most likely to slip and fall when things
get too smooth.
The trouble with reality is that it doesn't seem all that real.
We are what we are; the challenge is
to be more than we have been.
Life is the distance between dreams and reality.

Smoke Signals
I've been doing a lot of design work in Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Flash (both CS5) lately for class and it's got my mind thinking about patterns
and colors and graphics and layouts pretty much all the time.

I've been really busy with school and internship work lately so I
spend a lot of time at home doing work. Of course no 'stay in and study' night would
be complete in my apartment without some
incense, soft tunes and a hookah.

We bought my hookah at a store in Lokhandwala Market, one of the many markets
of Mumbai, that was filled to the brim with bright, colorful, beautiful
glass hookahs. Big hookahs, and small hookahs, and skinny hookahs, and fat
hookahs and ohmygawd so many hookahs.

DELICIOUS HOOKAHS. Glorious day! I seriously felt like I had died
and gone to heaven. We (my brother, my mom and myself) finally
decided on a beautiful dark blue glass hookah. I am proud to say that it survived the
journey from Mumbai to Brussels to New York and finally to Miami in my
suitcase. SHWANANA. It also survived my 21st birthday bash at Casa de SpinnZinn
(which may or may not be more dangerous than going through multiple airports).

I have discovered that I have this strange obsession with smoke. I love incense, I love candles, I love my hookah and I realized the other day that I painted a design on my living room wall that looks like smoke. There's something about watching the smoke make patterns in the air that just hypnotizes me and gives me a sense of calm. I'm really enjoying these smoke
signals in my life at the moment.... everyone needs
a little something to bring them back down.
