What monster decided that Axe smells good?
I have never smelled anything so douchy in my life. That smell will forever be associated with guido, nasty men/boys, who attempt to recreate the Axe commercials where mildly attractive men attract wildly attractive girls. This does not happen in real life. Axe will only bring you flies and hungry rats. Please stop spraying Axe, please stop buying Axe. And please, shower, clean Ivory smells better than any perfume or cologne. I don't understand what is the attraction in the odor of Axe. It smells like dirty old man, sweat, and some weird bruja mix.
Was there some guy somewhere who put on Axe before he went to a bar and suddenly was swamped by women attempting to give him their numbers? If so, who is this guy?? Please tell him to stop telling his story. My nose can no longer take the abuse!

It becomes difficult to manage a blog.
Somehow I have yet again managed to lag behind in posts. Ah, time, how fast you fly. I guess I need an alarm set everyday... write in blog. Or Sachi may hurt me.

I guess insomnia is a blogger's best friend. I function on 4/5 hours of sleep at a time and I'm up for at least 20 hours. I think I read somewhere that after 17 hours of being awake you begin to lose brain function. So if I being to write incoherently no I am not blogging drunk, I am just beyond the normal range of awakedness.
I've tried taking melatonin supplements, but it sort of freaks me out to take it too much. And plus, it says you have to be sleeping in COMPLETE darkness, and I need a nightlight (I can only sleep in the dark if there is another person with me... I'm scared of the dark!!). So far melatonin has not worked quite well for me. As for other drugs, I refuse to take anything else. Stories of ambien scare me out of my mind. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night downstairs in my kitchen, home shopping network on and a new debt of $20000.
Until the perfect sleeping drug is created, welcome to the night my fellow late night inhabitant

graduation season is upon us.

Thank god I am not graduating. I'm going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming from college. Its not so much that I'm in love with college or Rutgers, just the fact that I have no clue what I'm going to do after. I still need time to think, and being in school gives me time to delay my life choices. Who knows what they want to do? Only overachievers! I still need a couple years.

Ice Cream
Yes, I am lactose intolerant. It is a burden I must bear. Despite the havoc that ice cream makes on my stomach, I cannot go long without a taste of some sort of frozen dairy substance. Ice cream is my drug and Torico's is my drug dealer. Who knew that so many flavors could be packed into one delicious space? Baskin Robbins has nothing on these (homemade!) flavors. Do you like avocados? Why then try an avocado ice cream. There are so many chocolate flavors, tropical fruit flavors, even frozen yogurt flavors (about 20). Thank god it's not right next to the store, or else I would no longer fit through doorways.
Despite my love for ice cream and Torico's, my frozen dairy repertoire is pretty small. I intend to become one with gelato this summer. Grom and Il Laboratorio del Gelato seem to be the best places to get gelato. Both in NYC, the hike there will give me excuse to indulge in scoops upon scoops of gelato. Pistachio please.
And now I'd like to thank Lactaid for making all of this possible.

Installation

wow. i feel dumb, but at the same time quite intelligent.

today the box came for digital cable. fancy. sooo, no we did not request for comcast to come install, instead being the handy family that we are, decided to install ourselves (more like the cheap ass family). so who you gonna call to install?? ME! yes me. so, i'm feeling all handy and manly, i disconnect the old cable box and connect the new one. easy enough. i put in the batteries into the remote and turn on the tv and cable box... nothing. black screen. great. so i look at the letter enclosed in with the cable box and see it has three easy steps:
1. connect your digital receiver.
2 Call the digital service activation line. This call lasts about 3-4 minutes.
3. Allow the digital receiver about 45 minutes to automatically download the necessary information.

call the digital service activation line?? wtf? there was no phone number included on the paper.. who was i supposed to call? ghostbusters? (haha not funny i know) so i spend about 30 minutes hunting down this number. I called the comcast support line (after 5 minutes of waiting got inpatient and hung up) email customer service. everything. no number for this so called "activation line". i slump down on the couch in shame, this was easy enough! and yet i found a way to fail. great. i pick up another pamphlet included in the box and look through it, it was a more detailed installation guide... and wouldn't cha know there, in step 5 was the activation line. I called the number quickly (they close at 11pm) and was able to get the cable activated. now i just have to wait 45 minutes. at least now i don't feel like such a failure.
