House Parties & Bernie Mac

I seriously HATE house parties.
It's 1:35 AM in the morning and I can't sleep. You know why? Because someone next door thinks it's okay to have an outdoor party at 1 in the morning! What kind of mess is this?
You know what sucks even more? 311 files this as a non-emergency, so I CANT SLEEP WITHOUT BLARING MUSIC IN THE EARS.

In other horrid news, Bernie Mac has passed. He was a funny man and his large eyes alone were a reason to giggle. Perhaps he is up in the good place making the angels laugh up a storm. If you didn't know, he had a disease that affected his immune system. I also heard that he was taking steroids for this and that it made his immune system worse. He was deeply loved and a great guy overall. He totally punched Dane Cook's comedy out of the window on the 27th story of the most epic non-existant building ever. Give him an airhug.

Today, it shall rain, as the angels are crying because they laughed so hard at his comedy skits.

20th Post!

Happy 20th post!!!

Let's get down to business!  

♥ FASHION ♥

You know that played-out idea of wearing pants under the boo-tay?  This guy here didn't get the message that pants go over the butt.

Dear men of New York the World,

Please pull up your pants.  No one needs to see you gluteus-infused muffin top.  it's great that your underwear is black and all, but please, for the sake of the children, pull up your pants and keep them there.

Thanks,

All Fashionable Humankind

I also saw a dude with funky shoes.  The rest of his outfit had NOTHING to do with the genre of fashion that these shoes came from.  The silver print on the black leather shoes stood out compared to the monochromatic sneakers.

Shabow!

Yesterday, there were a lot of seagulls in Harlem.  It was awkward.  I've always been wary of them because they are prone to crapping on you when you least expect it.  They should be called crappergulls or something, the evil bums...

Global warming is in full effect, bringing us rain tomorrow and highs way above normal.  Rain in January, who would've thought that'd happen?

...I miss 1997, when  it snowed in January and Michael Jackson wasn't accused of giving children Jesus Juice.  Those were the days~

Until next time,  your local hostess with a large amount of city-related knowledge,

Global Warming is REAL; THUNDERCATS ARE GO!!!!!!

Okay, if you don't believe that global warming is real by now, FOX News, then you must be on some other planet!  Just a few days ago, the windchill was 3 degrees Fahrenheit.  In a few days, the high is going to be in the low 60's.  Something is wrong here.  Whatever, let me act like it's not happening [though it totally ISSSSS].

So today I was down around 40-deuce street, as Sean enjoyed putting it.  I saw Juno, which was a good movie.  I recommend it to anyone who is over 16, since it's funny, but in a mature way [most of the time].  It was sold out at 66th street, so my friend and I had to buy tickets at 42nd.  We also got creative since there were nearly no seats left.  Sean, my friend and I pulled up the arm rests and turned 2 seats into a 3 person couch.  It rocked.  Getting to 42nd was nice, I stared at the lights between 59th and 50th street.  I felt like a mosquito...

Sooo pretty.

Well, when I got down to 42, my friend and I were mesmerized[as usual] by the lights there too.  I never noticed how annoying everything there is.  Everything is just so flashy, overpriced, and touristy.  I think I've discussed this before in previous entries.  It's not their fault [?], they're just doin' what they can to make money, ne? Anywho, the many marquees and flashing lights make the streetlights obsolete.  I think the city would save thousands a year by cuttin' those off.

I'm sorry, Pink...

We bought out tix an hour early so that we wouldn't be screwed over again.  Totally worth the money[go during the matinee and save $4].

I Love New York's reunion is on.  There's a homophobe an hour into the show, it's really weird and annoying xD I didn't expect it at all.  It was one of those random guys no one remembers.  He just decided to interrupt Pretty's conversation with Buddha and the others and talk about how protecting another man is gay[?].  Isn't that how bros act with each other?  I thought good buds[brohams and the like] stood up for each other.  I don't understand people like that x_x.  Wow.  This show is crazy.  You know what else is crazy?  The Jonas Brothers.  Props to my good friend for finding this.  Whoa, DEJA VU.

...People are ignorant.

And there's the lesson for today.

Peoples be ignant, yo.  Foshizz.

THUNDERCATS ARE GO!!!!

It's Cold Outside...

Okay, it's disgustingly cold. I guess it could be worse, as Sukanaya said on the CW11 Morning News. There could be a foot of snow out there. Still, at wind chills around 3 degrees, I think New York has a right to complain.  It was so cold outside, people kept their hats, gloves, earmuffs, and scarves on while riding the train. It was comfy, but still. 

I saw some cool shoots[shoe+boots] as well. The shoots are available at Payless right now. They're cute.  Unfortunately, it's not on the website so they're probably in the clearance aisle now.  

I received wonderful sneakers this morning.  After scouring about 10 websites, I found the perfect red skate shoes to replace my decrepit 4-5 y/o ones.  Here they are in all their shoe-y glory.  Gravis Lowdown Hi-cuts.  ~$60 on Shoes.com/Amazon.com.  These are the women's ones, but they also have men's ones.

I think they're funderful shoes.  I gave them a run today, they fit well.  I'm not really going to skate in them as much as I'll be playing DDR in them because they'll prevent me from slipping[skate shoes are good for arcade versions of DDR because of the good grip].  Good advice: it's best to order a half size up with any shoes you order online.

And now on to the more weird parts of today!  My buds and I got bored and decided to scour the lands of 86th Street!  We entered Circuit City with the intention of playing demos.  

WE SUCCEEDED!!!  

Here is a fun clip of the Prince[Katamari Damacy] dancing to Justin Timberlake's SexyBack[they played his entire album].

There were also other oddities including a random lady who screeched at us while we walked by.  Sadly, I didn't have the time to whip out my phone, as she proceeded to cross the street as if she had never screeched at us.

Oh yeah, if you're ever bored and there are Legos in the area, make some cool stuff out of them and send it to us.  That stuff is hella cool.  Here's my PAC MAN!

It took me a lot of yellow pieces and a lot of moving children to complete it, but it was TOTALLY worth it.

Last but not least, there's an awesome group of people who give out sandwiches, soap, deodorant, etc.  It makes me glad to see generous people out there to do something.  Hopefully they'll form a huge charity that goes on the train and does this, but it's good to at least see someone do it.

Now, I shall leave you with a sweet quote from a random dude on the train.

To a man who is slowly walking through the train with a coffee cup:

"Whaddya want, a quarter, buddy?  You got the cup!"

I did it for the lulz,

The letter of the day is: Q.

So today was a very hellish, snowy, haily, slushy day.  I HATED it and decided to record my hatred of today's hellweather.  BOOOOO.

I also took the liberty of attempting to upload the squeaky video again.

YAY, it worked.

There are lots of great sales going on right now at many stores in the city.  A few great ones are at Kinokuniya [Rockefeller Center near Nintendo World], Toys R Us, Target, and Best Buy.  I can name plenty of things that I'd love to buy during the holiday season~~

Gadgets are a Chotpy's best friend!  I'm always looking up stuff about them.  So far, the top 5 unlocked phones on CNET are:

1) the Sony Ericsson K800i Cyber-shot

2) the Samsung Ultra Music SGH-F300

3) the Sony Ericsson Z710i

4) the Samsung SGH-D900

and 5) the Nokia Xpress Music 5700.

The real competition is obviously between Sony Ericsson and Samsung.  I've never tried SE, but I love Samsung.  It has one of the best user interfaces.

I'm looking for some really cute handkerchiefs, but those are hardcore rare in the States since no one uses them.  I think I'm going to go back to Kinokuniya one day and look for them.  I don't know of any other place to find them?  

They're all over Japan b/c they use them for everything.  An example of the large variety is here.

I'm gonna ask around.

Until next time, have a safe and productive New York day!
