DAY 147: In a world where no one watches live TV, can everyone just think before making a public announcement of something important – like the LOST finale? I was wary of signing onto facebook today as I assumed there would be water cooler chat about it, how can there not? Where are they? Why are they on the island? Who survives? Do they go back home? Who is the man in black? Well….I know none of these things and am actually more than a week behind. I fully plan to hunker down and watch them all tonight so that I can join in the conversation. Until then, I refuse to look at my “Most recent” news feed as I’m sure many people posted spoilers. And note to anyone who wants to talk about TV with me – I am also insanely behind on Vampire Diaries and FlashForward and have not yet watched the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy. Oh and I do not watch the Wednesday night’s American Idol results shows because I find them tedious and boring. (I’ve heard they are changing them to 30 minutes next season...took long enough.) I must say that as much as I love my TiVo, I am slowly learning there are some unforeseen consequences of not watching TV live and being able to fast forward through commercials. Last week I went to see Iron Man 2 (RDJ was awesome, as usual) and was ready, in my seat, for the previews (one of the best parts of going to the theater, in my opinion) – only the previews weren’t “pre”views per se – one was for a movie that was already out in the theaters and the others were for movies that opened that weekend and a couple weeks from now. I fondly remembered the times when the previews would actually be for movies that didn’t come out for 6 months or more, movies you might not have even heard were being made…I was highly disappointed. Optimistic spin: Robert Downey, Jr. was worth the $10.
(Who is this woman with him? If it's his assistant can someone please find out first how I get her job and second how I can get her to leave her job)
That money was well spent...unlike the money I spent on the boots I wore Saturday night. I spent Saturday night at an 80s themed bar crawl…where we walked from bar to bar. Tons of fun, but after bar #1, my feet began to feel the pain and the liquor wasn’t helping. So my friend, the wonderfully honest friend that she is, says “maybe spend more than $30 on your shoes and they won’t hurt.” Normally, she’d be right, but these particular boots I spent quite a good amount of money on – so I tell her this and call her a bitch….with a smile of course. She informs me that no shoes you spent good money on should hurt….really? I think she either has worn so many high heels her feet no longer have pain sensors because they are constantly numb or she is holding out on me and knows some sort of secret shoe brand that in fact, does not hurt. Regardless, I suffered through, throwing back more shots in an effort to not care – and it worked – at 2 am I placed my flip flops on my feet and continued on, so drunk I vaguely remember trying to talk to some guy who was talking shit to my friend…I called this guy Troy - that wasn’t his name….then comes Sunday morning when I could barely walk because the balls of my feet were in severe pain. Today, they are still suffering. The boots made the 80s outfit, so it was definitely worth it, but as I lay on my couch yesterday remembering bits and pieces from the night before (stripper pole, a band, mooning a busy street) and feeling inhuman from head to toe, I see this on the tv (I was NOT watching my TiVo and in fact, had on live TV) – a commercial for some miracle foot pain relieving cream….can it be true?
I feel old or like a sweaty athlete using anything Gold Bond, but it’s not like I’m powdering up my schweaty balls….if anyone has tried this please let me know if it works otherwise I am going to hobble over to Walgreens today and take a $15 chance that it can cure my ails. Optimistic spin: I’ve learned I wasn’t as much of a blabbering idiot as I assumed, the boots will live to see another day (they are damn cute) and there are no pictures of me NEAR that stripper pole.
