It was a Queer, Sultry Summer...
...the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.
Actually, I did know exactly what I was doing in NY:
Having a grand old time!
I just got back today around 8 p.m.
Also, those commie bastards were fried years ago.

MTV Promo and American Apparel BJ
Remember that old MTV commercial where a girl is working at a bar and she looks super busy and she's getting super sleazed on? And then later she goes home, counts all her tip money, looks extremely content and does ballet because she just got into dance school or something?
That's basically how I feel after an eleven hour shift. I sit on my floor and count my tips and smile and rub my sore legs in bliss. The only difference is I don't (often) get sleazed on nor am I saving up to go to ballet school because I am not limber enough to touch my toes.
But you get the idea.
Also, new provocative ad from American Apparel.
Oh la la, quelle trash / artsy porn.
Also, I sold my first dozen cupcakes today! Wooooop.

Twelve Hour Shift
Claire took some photographs with her disposable camera.
So did I but I did not get them developed.
So fun.
Either way, I worked a twelve hour shift yesterday (but made $$$) and now today I've been reading Slim Aarons and sleeping outside.
Love it.

This is Absolutely No Time for a Festen
Or blogging I suppose.
Either way, here is the scene I am currently analyzing for a five page paper due in sixteen hours.
That's plenty of time right?
I just gotta squeeze in a three page paper on Baby Jesus' crib in eleven hours and a meeting with a realtor.
Did I mention that apartment hunting and filling out leases and going to notaries and dropping $250+ in deposits so far ($1500+ more to go!) on Japanese stuff AND South St. stuff is driving me bonkers?

Something Clever about Odysseus
Departing from my usual jokes and comedy routine known as "No Nasties" daily postings, I would like to share an interesting article about Starbucks and its impending doom.
La Nouvelle Vague de le Cafe.
Which has me torn between my two careers, one as a server at a vegan, fair-trade, local-farm supporting, and organic restaurant where I do not get paid hourly but instead earn my wages by being charming, witty, and helpful to my environmentally and socially conscious patrons AND my other job as a corporate sell-out where I receive $10+ hawking over-priced, high-fructose corn syruped, more-calories-than-you-need-for-one-day espresso-based drinks to a medley of various types of people*.
Also, I suppose being super left of center requires one to be super serious a lot of the time, I cannot help but think that AdBusters could benefit from a few humorous things here and there. I'm just saying! Who do you like more, the comic relief stylings and Italian sass of Joy Behar or the no-nonsense repertoire of Miss. Facts Hasselbeck?
Exactly.
Enjoy!
Life-long liberal (and comedienne) Joy Behar with the original ~*Star Jones*~ taking time to enjoy the view in the Hamptonz.

***Oh and also, do not get me wrong, Starbucks may do some crappy things and embody most bad things about globalization, but it isn't that of a corporation in comparison to some other places (Wal-Mart, le MacDo, Proctor and Gamble, etc.). The pay is well, they take good care of their employees, 80% of our customers are really nice, and they do give (a little) back to the communities like Philly.

You'll Need That Espresso For Later
It's the weekend and you know what that means!
Going out.
En la moda de Barcelona.
That may or may not be correct.
Either way, today Yasmin and I had to go and exchange money BUT the bank was closed and someone went number 2 in the ATM room. NICE.
After that, I made breakfast and everyone left to go skating.
Yasmin and I headed out to the area around the Picasso museum and drank espresso and ate chocolate croissants (I left my veganism in Philly, sorry!).
Aside from a homeless man begging for change and a lady with a beard who needed "un euro por un cafe!!!" the sit was well enjoyable.
Afterwards we walked and walked and walked. I had to use the bathroom so I went into Starbucks. I may have mentioned this before, but there is seriously NO place to get drip coffee besides Starbuck. Not even "Dunkin Coffee" (Spanish version of Dunkin' D) sells it. Aye di mio. Oh well. The espresso was delicious.
After I used the bathroom there was a HUGE protest for the rights of places like Tibet, Palestine, and Ghana. There were more, but we only caught the tail-end of it. It even ended up on Spanish tv!
We came home and bought some food and necessities for tonight's events and cooked up some fantastic dinner.
Miguel (the owner of the place) had friends over and I may or may not have been tricked into eating fish. Let us pray that it did not happen.
Now people are napping and I am on the computer getting ready to go to RAZZMATAZZ. I cannot remember if I wrote about this before but it's basically a gigantic dance party and there are tons of different rooms and finally, Yelle will be performing.
Should be a good time for sure, and if I survive, I cannot wait to write about it.
Ciao!
