Summertime

Walk outside in the sunshine, shining
Don't mind that it's hot
I'm taking a ride
Gonna go to the pool
And catch some of those rays
It's just one of those hot summer days
So happy to relax,
So anxious to get back.
A break is nice, but busy is too.
I can't wait for school
Until it gets here, that is.
It gets old pretty fast...
Won't be long 
'Til the whole year's passed.
It feels so long until it's gone
One year older, 
I still feel young.
Sun goes down, fireflies come out.
Movies with friends,
Coffee and ice cream.
Shopping for clothes
During all the sales.
Temperature from 95 to 102
Cool water, hot sun beating down
Summer Snow and watermelon
BBQ and sloppy joes
You know how it goes.
Beach trips, water skiing,
Intertubing, water parks.
Life is good in Summertime :)

Commercials

We need more people in the advertising industry that know how to present their product/service in an efficient way AND be entertaining.

Some commercials are dreadfully boring, but clear.

Others are hilarious, but make it hard to see what the ad is for until the end...

And then there are things that are more annoying than boring. Like this:

And lastly, there are wildly inappropriate commercials such as this one:

We need more commercials like these!!!

I LOVE this!

Okay, so a new friend of mine introduced me to this awesome clothes website, and I just had to post a link on here...
I know I'm overdue for a new post but I've been lazy :)
Check back in a couple of days!!!

RIGHT?! Thanks, Nikki!

Dumb.

So I was on my way home, walking from the 59th & Lex subway station, and this girl walking in front of me is on the phone. After about 30 seconds of walking, I notice she starts to turn around and look back at me sporadically. She then speeds up her walking pace, which I didn't mind because I'd been trying to get around her anyway, so I just fell back in behind her since she sped up. Then she like...goes to the other side of the sidewalk against traffic of people walking the other way. She continues to look back at me, and breaks into a sprint for about 10 or 15 seconds just to get far enough in front of me so I couldn't hear her phone conversation (which, btw, not only was I not paying attention to, but sounded like a conversation that Karen from Mean Girls would have). 

That is ridiculous. Girl, you on the street, get over yourself and go inside if you need to have a private conversation. Good lord.

Mishaps of The Day...Starring myself and Lindsay Bartlette Allen

Lindsay-"So, you wanna go to Brighton Beach?"
Me-"Sure!"
[TIME- 11:30AM]
So we went to the grocery store across the street (AKA the Food Emporium) to get snacks.
...
Arrived at Lexington Avenue/59th Street station.
[TIME- 12:00PM]
....
.....
....
N train pulls away as we walk up.
R train arrives.
R train arrives.
Still no Q.
[TIME- 12:25PM]
Lindsay-"What the f@*% is happening? Is the Q running?"
...
..
R train arrives.
We get on.
...
Get off at Herald Square, still waiting for the Q.
We contemplate trying to catch the B train in another part of the station...
Q train arrives.
[TIME- 12:40PM]
In unison-"Oh thank GOD"
1 hour train ride...
Arrive at Brighton Beach subway stop.
[TIME- 1:35PM]
Lindsay suggests we get food at one of the places on the beach, so we walk there.
We select the only reasonably priced food place and walk up to order.
Lindsay-"I'll have the chicken fingers"
Guy behind the counter-"No food. Next week!" (walks away)
In unison-"WTF?"

SO...we walked all the way back to right beside the subway station and settled for something called Palace Fried Chicken. Pretty good actually-horrifying bathrooms.
*Fabulous beach time and much people-watching going on*
ON the walk back to the train, we decide to get a drink. Took us 10 minutes AT LEAST to find a convenient store that actually had drinks.......
Just missed the Q train.
1 hour train ride...
Announcer-"This is 57th Street, 7th Avenue. This is the last stop on this train..."
UGH.
Walk up stairs. Walk 10 feet. Walk down stairs. Wait for another downtown local train.
FINALLY home:)

Summer Movie Excitement/Anticipation

So, I'm reading a comic book. It has been a WHILE since I have read one, but I needed to read up on this Bane villain...I was horribly disturbed when I first learned of his role in The Dark Knight Rises, because I had never heard of him before! My cousin had, and that's when I knew I needed to read up cause I'm like a big Batman person and it's depressing that I didn't know. Anyway...I'm in search of the 1993 issue called "Vengeance of Bane", but for now I'm reading "Batman versus Bane", which I understand to be the next best thing.

Now that I've completely went nerd on you, let's talk about how excited I am about some movies that are coming out/just came out.

1-Snow White and the Huntsman...opens this weekend!
2-Men in Black III...just came out this past weekend!
3-Prometheus...comes out June 8th!
4-The Amazing Spiderman...opens July 3rd!
5-The Dark Knight Rises(obviously)...comes out July 20th!

Y'all...these gonna be GOOD :) haha
