Facebook is for Lovers

Received this email earlier today...I knew my years of cultivating an interesting and alluring Facebook profile would eventually pay off.  Katherine and I are going to be so happy together.  I mean, she "needs to belong to one man in the deep blue sea of love??"  We're PERFECT for each other!  I'm willing to look past the poor grammar and spelling errors as this is obviously a love story in the making...

***********************************

Hi There,
My name is Katherine  I  would like to get to know you better.I got your email from your facebook page cause sometimes life gets so weird and strange  that u cant imagine, u may even get so moved and motivated cause what u see. I think there are many ways to prevent the eyes but there are many things to see. how i wish to know you more and personally cause u are so thrilling. I believe something good will come out of it. Let me know your feelings so that we can get to know each other very well.  I am a romantic woman, loyal, sincere woman. My personality is quiet, stable, introspective, calm, honest. My dream to have a loving family. I  am willing to travel across any sea to find true love. I need to belong to one man in the deep blue sea of love I am loving and caring. A friend was saying, that an ideal woman should be "like a chef in the kitchen, a woman in the society, and loving in bed". I agree. I try that my glamor and femininity should reflect around my home in the street in the society. My life is happy, but the missing ingredient is the sharing of love with a true life's partner. I am seeking a male who above all is emotionally secure, self-confident, objective, fair, comfortable with who they are, their body, and still have dreams to achieve. I love men who are professional, assertive, goal oriented and self-directed. I respond very well to men who are socially and culturally aware and interested in the important issues of our day. I also enjoy being in the company of men who are excited about what they do for a living as well as just for fun.Am not bothered with the age difference cos i believe in who you really are from the inside, I am interested in connecting with a man who can commit to growing a one on one relationship, in which leaving is not an option and being unhappy is unacceptable.
till i hear from you.
Yours,
Katherine

There and back again...

For my fellow Tolkienophiles out there, who take pride in wallowing with me in extreme Hobbit-dorkdom, here are the first two Hobbit movie production vlogs.  Of course, the movies already look incredible.  Notice, in the second vid, how Andy Serkis is looking more and more like PJ--I guess they share the same non-barber ;) (MUCH LOVE, FELLAS!!)

Mixed Bag

Things that have annoyed me so far today:
  • Remembering I said the word "acculturate" two days ago and really meant "acclimate..." but correcting it at this point would be worthless.
  • Forgetting to leave my sunglasses in the car and bringing them into work with me.
  • Getting stuck behind a dude riding a Vespa without a helmet...not just because he was driving painstakingly slow--which he was--but because he wasn't wearing a helmet.  C'mon, guy, really?  Gonna mess up your buzz cut?  Or just worried about not looking cool while riding 10 mph under the speed limit on a scooter in residential area?

Things that have made me smile today:

REDSKINS TOASTER!

Happy 4th of July, everyone!  On this day, during which we celebrate our country declaring itself an independent nation with beer and fireworks displays, please remember what our forefathers said as they gathered together to mark this momentous occasion:


DON'T LIGHT YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE, YOU DRUNKEN MORONS!


May your celebrations be bar-b-quey :D

Date Night with Raj

Learned an important lesson this morning: Do not...I repeat...do NOT eat extra spicy Phaal in close proximity to bedtime.  The fallout is not very pleasant.  The brunt of my productivity today has been conducted in a men's room stall.  Also, last night, I think I dreamt that my face had a face.

 
*************************************

 
Went to Saagar Indian Cuisine last night.  Was supposed to be a bit of a date night for the ladyfren' and me...had a Groupon and everything, so, ya know, pretty romantic.  We arrived eager and excited and walked in to find a practically empty room; there were four people eating, one of whom had his leg up on his booth seat, his shoeless foot extending just past the end of the cushion.  Class.

Naturally, the multi-tasking waiter/busboy/maitre'd--who was seemingly overwhelmed by the four people silently eating around him--sat us in the booth next to Foot Guy.  It was at this point we learned that Foot Guy's name was Raj and he was the money behind the restaurant.  Also, Raj was DRUNK.  He was quite happy at the fact we were sitting nearby and began chatting us up immediately, informing us he'd had a bottle of Scotch prior to his, now, second large bottle of Taj lager, and that we shouldn't worry about paying for our drinks because they'd be on him.  When I told him I wasn't planning on drinking too much more as I had to drive later, he suggested we leave our car at the restaurant and he'd be happy to take us home after our meal.  This, obviously, was tremendously comforting.

 
THE MEAL:

Top - Malai Kofta, Bottom - Phaal of Death

 
Started with a shared plate of Aloo Tikki Chaat (potato patties in a chick pea curry with yogurt, mint, tamarind sauce and spices). The Wife had Malai Kofta (veggie-cheese dumplings in a cream sauce with spices). I was going to select my Indian cuisine go-to, Palak Paneer...but then I saw the Phaal.  I'd never had Phaal before, but it was the accompanying disclaimer that caught my eye: (this is word-for-word from the menu)
Warning: Extremely Hot & Spicy. Think Before You Order. An excruciatingly hot curry, more pain and sweat than flavor, for our customers who do this on a dare, we will require you to state a verbal disclaimer not holding us liable for any physical or emotional damage after eating this curry. If you do manage to finish your serving of curry, a bottle of beer is on us.
 
Um...YES?!  I love spicy food and, even more, I love a challenge.  Ordered the Phaal and told him not to hold back.

The meal progressed.  Raj continued to drink.  I began to sweat profusely, my insides burning away with every successive forkful of Phaal.  Raj, who was now joined by Shankar, the owner of the restaurant, was beckoning us to join him at his table and eat from the four plates of food they'd ordered.  The perfect date night.

Me and the Raj-ster. 

(Btw, at some point during the meal, like a flash flood, a party of no less than 40 people came into the restaurant, got food, ate, and left within 20 minutes. It was one of those moments where, afterwards, you look at the person next to you with a furrowed brow and go, "Did that just happen??")

Skip to the end of the meal.  I'm covered in curry sweat, the Wife is slipping into the food coma, and Raj and Shankar--my two new best friends who, I'm now convinced, maintain positions of note in the local chapter of the Indian mafia--have told me I need to come back and see them sometime soon when I'm not driving so we can "go crazy."  With multiple handshakes and words of mutual admiration, we finally part ways.

So, in sum, Date Night was comprised of:

-An empty restaurant with poor service
-Food that induced me into labor
-Forced conversation with an intoxicated Indian money-lender who may be tied to the mob

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Subject: I meet Quentin Tarantino, hilarity ensues

To: XXX

Friendsicles,

You are either getting this e-mail because I've promised I would tell you this story and haven't yet, you're besties with someone I used to hook up with, or because my need for attention and adulation has reached such an all time high that I decided to pick 15 of you at random to listen to this story (most likely explanation), but all the same, below is the (in)famous but true story of how I met Quentin Tarantino...Adam and Ethan, I'll be expecting your short film script of this in my inbox in the next couple of weeks...

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011:

Get a BBM at 8 in the morning from my friend Nicki telling me we're going to a party in "the Hills" that night because the Yankees were in town. But this party now presents a conundrum as a) I didn't know people partied on Wednesdays because I'm uncool and b) I had just run out of clean underwear and hadn't shaved my legs in three days, so I wasn't really in a "party" sort of place. (what's that you say? You're surprised I'm single?) However, after being told to grow a pair, I decided to join the girls after work for this fiesta.

Party time rolls around that evening and despite being a Wednesday, and based on how many trashy girls in short dresses there are, it looks like the inside of any club in Las Vegas has vomited inside this music producer's home. Minus all the hordes of Asians you get in real Las Vegas. I spend my first hour at this party irritated at having to even be there, and then telling the Yankees picture Joba Chamberlain how he'll never be as great as my beloved Brian Wilson. I think he may have called me a lesbian as I was walking away, but I guess you can't blame him since I did choose to wear pants. Anyways, I digress.
Heading back inside, bored out of mind, I look over and notice Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino have joined the melee. Joy. Two more people at this party who could not give a shit about who I am. I go back to texting in the corner while stuffing my face with a hot dog. About an hour later I'm making a drink and realize the pasty tall fellow pouring orange juice into my glass is the man himself, QT. Realizing I kind of have to go for at it this point, in all my nerd glory blurt out: "I'm sure everyone tells you this but I fucking loved Reservoir Dogs. I watched it when I was 11 for my school newspaper, and it's badass." He starts laughing, thanks me, pleasantries are exchanged about how I was clearly a fucked up 11 year old for watching Reservoir Dogs, and we start what appears it might be a delightful little chat about film. Until this happens:


Quentin: Wow so you really loved Reservoir Dogs, huh? Which of my other films do you like?

(this blatant arrogance is the type of douchebaggery that really gets my gourd about Hollywood, so now my film boner has turned to film hate fuck, and I feel the need to cheekily undermine Quentin.)

Me: Oh wow. You know, I really didn't like Kill Bill...

Quentin: What? What do you mean? 1 or 2?

Me: Ehh, a little bit of both. I just didn't care for them.

Quentin: Wow...I don't think anyone has said that to my face about my seminal films.

Me: Perhaps it's because you call them your seminal films. Shouldn't you wait for someone else to say that?

Quentin: You know, you've got a mouth on you. I like that.

At this point, QT puts an arm around me and I'm acutely aware that Quentin Tarantino has an arm around me. As are my four friends, who are all looking at me as if I have grown a second head. To be fair, I am easily the most uncool out of all my friends (I go to Q's in Brentwood four nights a week), so the fact that anyone even mildly famous wants to speak to me is pretty shocking. He's chatting with my friends and I like it's no big deal, I am pretending like this happens every night of my life, and out of nowhere he leans in for the makeout. Yes. True story. I am pulling a frat move and making out in a crowded kitchen with Quentin Fucking Tarantino. I cannot stop laughing AS this is happening, mainly because I see my friends Nicki and Jen literally gag behind Quentin's head, and I really am doing this for the story at this point. We make out some more, take a walk, keep making out, get more drinks, lather, rinse, repeat. Believe me when I say I'm not bragging, because..well...have you looked at a photo of Quentin Tarantino recently? (Please refer to: http://bit.ly/jL4ORR)

At some point in our public makeout, Jamie Foxx comes over and without acknowledging me goes, "Yo QT, ready to roll?" Quentin looks at me and says "Want to come to my house?" Ummmmmm...fuck yes? We get in an SUV and off we go. As I'm in the car though, I realize two things: 1) Making out with Quentin Tarantino is a great story, but there is no way I plan on putting out, and 2) This is a director who makes up fucked up films for a living, there is a 23% chance he could Phil Spektor me, and I'm definitely not ready to die. But alas, I'm already in the car and we're off.

We get to the house, which is gorgeous, and Jamie Foxx takes off with his lady friend (I try to say bye to him and he doesn't even look at me. Jamie Foxx could not have given 2 shits who I was. This is probably karma because I snuck into a screening of Ray in 2004 with my black boyfriend who worked at AMC at the time, instead of buying a ticket). Which leaves me and QT alone in his bar. I spot a photo booth and immediately realize that we must take photos, if for nothing else, proof that this story even happened. (Because I know at least 7 of you right now think I'm still lying, and are pissed you had to read this much. It gets even better, I promise!!) We get a few good photo strips, which I immediately buried at the bottom of my purse lest he take them from me, and go on talking about film. (For you film geeks, this was a great conversation that led to QT cutting me a trailer of my five favorite bad movies, but for sake of some semblance of brevity, I will leave that aside for another day)

After a lengthy film discussion, Quentin suggests we head to bed, which is the point where I really start panicking. I have stalled for a good long time but the makeouts were really losing their appeal because you can only be sweated on so much, and we were getting closer to the moment of truth on whether I'd have to put out or not. The makeout continues for a while longer, and I'm really getting nervous about where the night may lead, kicking myself over not pretending to be more drunk and "passing out", and wishing he'd turn the damn lights off so that he won't notice that I'm wearing Hanes Her Way underwear the size of Canada that I bought at CVS that morning because my life is really just that sad and pathetic. We make out some more, there's a little below the belt action that I try to avoid, as QT has the most unattractive penis I have ever seen (short. fat. nub-like. The chode of all chodes. Boys, those junior high pamphlets are lying when they say that all shapes and sizes are normal. Lying.) Just as I'm about to hyperventilate over the fact that he may try to put that horrific bodily implement anywhere near my Britney, he leans over and goes "Hey..."

I know this "Hey." This is the "Hey, should I get a condom?" hey that accompanies 20 minutes of ungratifying sex. As I'm trying to rapidly think of ways I can agent myself out of this deal, I hear what is without a doubt, the strangest question in the history of my life. Quentin Tarantino asks, "Can I suck on your toes while I jerk off?" What. The. Fuck.
Many of you may have seen this coming, as his foot fetish is WELL documented, but for some of us who spend more time watching Kate Hudson than we do Quentin Tarantino, this was a huge shock. On top of that, I don't even like weird sex habits! A saucy hookup for me is on the foot of the bed, instead of on a pillow. Someone tried to talk me into a threesome once and I cried for an hour. Having someone ask to fellate my feet while rubbing one out was a world I was not prepared for.

But desperate times call for desperate measures, and I realized this just might be my get out of jail free card on the whole chode in vag issue. After some negotiations about how I would not partake in any of the hand job action were nailed down, I begrudgingly acquiesced. (And by begrudgingly, I realized I didn't have to shtup the dude and said sure why not in about 0.03 seconds) And thus began the weirdest ten minutes of my life - having my feet made out with by an Oscar winning filmmaker while he pleasured himself. Truth be told, it wasn't so bad. I didn't have to do anything (a nice bonus, since I am undoubtedly the laziest person in bed, which some of you can attest to), no bodily secretions were ejected anywhere near me or my feet (thank god, because I imagine it would feel like walking in sand with wet I fucking hate that), and just as I hoped, we went to bed right after.

In the morning, I snooped through Quentin's belongings while he was in the bathroom and now know his e-mail address. He fooled around with my feet one more time (this time without asking, which I found rude), and then drove me back to Nicki's apartment in Weho and that was that.

Most insane experience of my life, and without a doubt, probably the best story I will ever get to tell. Those of you who know me well know of my love of hyperbole, so I'm actually rather sad that I won't get to use "best story ever!!!" when talking about how I scored a free topping at Yogurtland anymore, but I suppose for Quentin I can make an exception. I'll try not to forget all of you little people when my feet and I make our meteoric race (foot pun intended) to the top of the A-List soon.

Till then, I've attached our photo booth photos for those of you who think I still just have a vivid imagination...and yes, he does look like Frankenstein.

Love,

XXX

MoCo Safe Speed is a Big, Giant, F'ing SCAM

Had a wonderful time getting my teeth drilled at the dentist a few weeks ago.  Jumped in the car and drove north on Georgia Ave toward 495 to get to work--it was about 11am'ish and there was no traffic, so I was moving at a nice steady pace, no faster or slower than the rest of the few cars on the road.  Little did I know I was posing a direct threat to the lives of those around me, and probably my own as well.

Or at least that's what I'm lead to believe having since received a $40 speeding ticket.  Not from a human being, mind you, but from a speed trap camera posted at the 9000 block of Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring, MD.  I was going 48 in a 35.  YES, I know that's over the limit.  But...COME. ON.  I wasn't street racing.  I wasn't weaving in and out of traffic.  I was driving WITH the flow of those around me...isn't that the safest kind of driving?  Isn't that what we're taught to do???

If I was driving four measly miles per hour slower, the camera wouldn't have tripped; they are designed to take a picture not at every car that exceeds the speed limit, but every car that exceeds the posted speed limit by 10+mph.  Now, I realize this is actually to the benefit of Average Joe Driver.  However, if you're trying to promote law-abidance...why not promote abidance of the ACTUAL LAW!!!  "So, the LAW is 35...but I can drive 44 and that's cool...BUT I can't drive 45 or I'm gettin' my picture taken??"  It seems to me that if the people behind these Big Brother machines are so concerned with our safety (which, btw, they aren't, as evidenced by the fact that these tickets don't ever result in points on your record...so really anyone with a little bit of expendable cash doesn't have to give a steaming donkey turd about burning down the road at whatever speed they feel like on that given day), they would have designed these machines to...I don't know...keep us focused on obeying the speed limit imposed by our lawmakers that, we are lead to believe, is based upon criteria meant to ensure maximum safety for those on and around that road???

....sigh....

OPTIONS
  • Fight it: Spend a wasted PTO day in court only to have a judge slam his gavel down on my guilty-before-innocent ass, forcing me to pay the $40 AND court costs.
  • Pay it: Pay the fee and feel the pit in my stomach harden into stone knowing there's no damn recourse that will satisfy my frustration with this whole ridiculous mess.

Fight the power, my friends! http://www.stopbigbrothermd.org/

Just a few pics from Sedona, Arizona--one of my new favorites places on this planet.  Crazy awesome.
