Kerli Fries With That?

I am totally feeling this Estonian singer Kerli.
She was featured on Perez Hilton, of course.
But I really think she has potential.
Yea she's kind of blonde Barbie-esque, and it is totally studio produced quirkiness, but I'm ok with it.

Here is the video for Walking on Air


I can't wait to hear the rest of her album!

Updates, updates, updates!
Well I graduated!!!!
Still have no idea what I'm doing,
but I'm starting to be ok with that.
It's actually really nice to be home.
I've actually been able to focus on weight watchers.
I'm taking daily walks...
starting to build a bit of a tan in fact!
My parents want a dog!
Though I suspect this is a ploy to keep me home.

I'm looking at cars.
Boy do I hate car shopping!
They are so expensive and I really don't feel comfortable making a move until I know what my salary is going to look like.
We shall see what I end up with.

So I need to update the blog too,
as I no longer live in New Orleans.
I'm actually ok with Tampa,
for now that is.
I'm trying to adjust,
I think if I can make some friends
and find activities that suit me,
I might be alright.

I'm looking at ballroom dancing,
I need to research book clubs.
I know there is a knitting group that meets at Borders,
I saw them once while on vacation.
Wow, I am such a granny!

HOLY SHIT...I just google imaged granny and this is what came up!!


wicked.

Speaking of grannies, one of my new neighbors is a spitting image of my tiny colombian grandmother...except this lady is kind of a bitch...so I know lovingly refer to her in conversation as Nelly's Evil Twin.

From Here On Known as Soco.

I was asked again by an old friend what my post-gradutation plans were.
Embarassingly, I again had to say I have no idea.
He is going to UVA,
on a full ride,
for his Master's in Roman Art.
I am so happy for him.
I am so disappointed in myself.
I feel so directionless,
and lost and I don't know what to do anymore.
I came up with a plan,
but I don't have confidence in myself to pull it all off.
How utterly frustrating!



Aside from my real life woes,
I had a nice, distracting weekend.
Friday we had a Hullabaloo Fair.
There was a hot dog eating contest.
Eight guys participated.
Winner at 9 hotdogs in 4 minutes.
Gross.
But...it was highly entertaining.

Cecilia turned 19 this weekend.
So we bought a bottle of Southern Comfort,
from here out known as Soco.
Had about 5 Soco and Lime shots,
played some Uno,
and then went out to Brunos.

New Bruno's first.
Some dart, Chris won.
Then Old Bruno's.
After a Corona and 2 Margaritas,
we were properly lit.
Played some pool,
took goofy pictures.
Damnit, I am breaking out like crazy!
I need my body to chill out.

As though that is possible these days.
Between worrying about post-graduation life,
unsuccessfully following weight watchers,
and the mountain of school work I have this semester,
my body doesn't know the meaning of relaxation anymore.

I am reading Eat Pray Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert currently.
It is amazing.
In it she writes about meditation in the ashram in India.
I need to try meditation.
I need time to clear my head.
Which is why, almost not having a plan post-graduation,
may be my saving grace.
I'm trying to spin this...
let me be as delusional I a want!



Ok...well what is not a delusion is the first draft of my 20 page paper due manana!
Time to focus...it's carnival time.
Well my paper is on the spectacle known as Mardi Gras,
too bad analyzing it destroys all happiness surrounding the event.
Once you realize the racist undertones,
and what a celebration of the elite it is,
it's a bit of a buzz kill.

Bitch is the New Black.

Oh Tina Fay! Great job! I know it is meant to be funny, but it completely makes sense.

I have lots of work to do.
My sleep schedule is way off.
I am staying up till 4/5/6am, then sleeping 12 hours.
This is not a functional schedule!
I don't know how to fix it,
and it sort of scares me.

Well...biopsych, african art and a paper proposal.
Should be a horrible week.

Last week I went to Upperline.
It is an amazing restaurant.
I wish I could afford to eat there more often!
I had duck with a peach ginger sauce,
and creme brule.
Muy sabrosa!
