February 4, 2005
Today is the first day of the olive blog! Friday, February 4, 2005. And, nothing happened. Nothing ever happens, except for my relentless hunt of the fuzzy brown horde (TFBH. Read: mice in my apartment), the relentless pursuit of a career (TRPC), and the relentless thwarting of my dog Louis' attempts to eat chicken bones on the streets of Harlem (hereinafter, TRTOCBE [the relenteness thwarting of chicken bone eating]).
I was supposed to go see Darius DeHaas perform at Lincoln Center tonight (www.dariusdehaaas.com), but had no one to go with. I bought the tickets ($51.00 wasted) and everything, and was planning on dolling myself up and going alone, but then I came home and had a glass of wine, and then Law & Order was on TNT, and it was one I had never seen before, and then the mouse came out and I had to spend 15 minutes with broom in hand waiting to try to smash it when it came out from under the stove, and by then, it was 10:00pm. The show started at 9:30pm. Next time. I'm sure it was great -- he was featured in the New Yorker "Goings on About Town" section (http://www.newyorker.com/goingson/nightlife/), and I'm hoping there's a glowing review in the NYTimes, because I'm all about success by association.
Mouse Count:
- Seen: 1
- Dead: 3
Chicken Bone Count:
- Seen: 8 on 120th Street between 7th and St. Nicholas
- Eaten: 1 before I could stop Lou
- Attempts at Eating: 3 (2 spit out, one successful)
- If Chicken Bones Were Dollars, My Net Worth To Date: $148.00
Good Things About Public Transportation Today:
- Sat next to a nice lady on the M2 home. Didn't want to squish her coat, shared disdain for bulkiness of winter garb.
Bad Things About Pulic Transportation Today:
- Mean lady at 86th who tried to cut in front of another lady, was thwarted, and proceeded to make a nasty, threatening face at the non-cuttee when she got on the bus. I wanted to punch her in the face, and it wasn't even my path she tried to cut off. Privilege. Bad.
Good Things About South Beach Diet Today:
- Mixed Green salad with bleu cheese and walnuts from Pax for lunch
- Drank 2 20oz. bottles of water
- Took Lou on 2 extra-long walks this evening
Bad Things About South Beach Diet Today:
- Drank 2 glasses of wine (BIG glasses)
- Should have had 4 20oz. bottles of water
- Did neither Tae Bo nor Yoga, owing to the 2 BIG glasses of wine
Good Things About Having a Dog Today:
- Welcome home greeting
- Need for belly-scratching interrupting my work
Bad Things About Having a Dog Todoay:
- Chicken bones littering my block
- Hair
