Weeee, I’m so excited, because I just opened an internet brokerage account! I can’t wait until the funds transfer is complete, so that I can buy my first stocks.

Also, I’m happy about the amount we are getting back for our tax refunds. :) The gov’t was good to us this year.

The Bachelorette

February 28, 2005
I doubt any of you watch this show, but I’ll put this behind a cut anyway.





Ugh, this show is so stupid. I dunno why I watch these things. Jen turned down both guys. I don’t know why people go on these shows, it never works out for any of them. Are any of these reality tv couples still together? I think the only one might be Trista and the guy she chose. Or did they break up too? Anyway, I need to stop watching these silly shows.

More about Paris

February 21, 2005
FOXNews article: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148217,00.html

Among the people whose e-mail addresses and numbers were publicized: Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody, Ashley Olsen, tennis greats Andy Roddick and Mark Philippoussis, model Amber Valletta, Jay-Z (under his real name Shawn Carter and actor Luke Wilson.

Paris’ Blackberry also includes her sister, parents, best friend Nicole Richie, Jermaine Dupri, Vin Diesel, Eminem, Shannon Elizabeth, Frankie "Malcolm in the Middle" Muniz, Miami party girl Ingrid Casares, tennis beauty Anna Kournikova, rocker Fred Durst, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan and her mother, Victoria Gotti, hip-hop star Pharrell Williams, rock heiress Bijou Phillips, lip-syncher Ashlee Simpson, heir Brandon Davis, singer Blu Cantrell, "Boston Legal" actress Rhona Mitra, singer Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, actress Peta Wilson, Leelee Sobieski, Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman and Yoko Ono flack Elliot Mintz.

There are also numbers stored for the kind of restaurants and hotels only Paris might frequent: Mr. Chow, La Scala, The Soho Grand, Koi, plus New York’s Prive hair salon.

There are the kind of odd friends with whom you might not associate with Paris: criminal defense attorney Robert Shapiro, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, the daughter of Pocket Fisherman inventor Ron Popeil and the son of director Ivan Reitman.

There’s also rap and fashion entrepreneur Russell Simmons, rocker Matt Sorum of Velvet Revolver, the daughter of Rod and Alana Stewart, Anders Eisner (son of Disney chief Michael), Warner Music’s Lyor Cohen (misspelled "Leore"), actor Kevin Connolly from "Entourage," Las Vegas hotelier George Maloof, Super Dave Osbourne and Donald Trump competitor Mark Cuban.

In addition, there are some clues to Paris’ personality and education in the notations that came along with this stuff. She spells a foreign country "jermeny." She has a number for a tattoo-removing dermatologist in Beverly Hills. She wants to do business with music exec Andre Harrell and is interested in a "hive movie" at Miramax.

On October 8, 2004, she text messaged a friend named Naomi (Campbell perhaps?): "Do you wanna leave soon, ill pretend I hsve (sic) 2 go pee and u wait 3 mins than come by yourself to the back entrance."

And don’t think that Paris isn’t clever enough to have connections at the tabloids or entertainment TV shows. She has the private instant messaging addresses for Pat O’Brien at "The Insider," Ken Baker at US Weekly and Smokey Fontaine, editor of the hip-hop fashion monthly America magazine.

For Valentine’s Day, Jake bought me a Kenneth Cole wallet to match my Kenneth Cole bag. He also bought me my favorite perfume - Romance by Ralph Lauren. I haven’t owned a bottle of it and I’m always stealing my mom’s, so it was a great gift. :D

Sleep time, seriously. I’ve been so busy the last few days. I have so much more stuff to write about in here too, and so many photos to upload.

1) Turn signals will give away your next move. A real New Jersey driver never uses them. Use of them in Trenton may be illegal.

2) Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3) Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going with the flow."

4) The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

5) Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork.

6) Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it’s a chance to stretch your legs.

7) Electronic traffic warning signs are not there to provide useful information. They are only there to make Trenton look high-tech, and to distract you from seeing the state police radar car parked on the median.

8) Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.

9) Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions, and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

10) Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident, or even if someone is just changing a tire.

11) Throwing litter on the roads adds color to the landscape and gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.

12) It is assumed that state police cars passing at high speed may be followed in the event you need to make up a few minutes on your way to work, or the beach.

13) Heavy snow, ice, fog, and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God’s way of ensuring a natural selection process for body shops, junkyards, and new vehicle sales.

September 8, 2004
We’re trying to plan our Niagara Falls trip, and we have 3 options regarding hotels.

1. Book a standard room in a 4-star hotel for approximately $85 a nite through Expedia.

2. Book a deluxe room with a jacuzzi in a 3-star hotel for approximately $102 a nite through Expedia.

3. Bid $60 - $70 per nite for a 4-star hotel through Priceline. We may or may not get a hotel with Priceline for this price, but if so, we have to take it. We cannot cancel our reservation. We can specify what star rating we want our hotel to be, and the fact that we want it in Niagara Falls, but other than that, we cannot make any specific requests about the room type.

Should we go with one of the rooms on Expedia? Or should we try Priceline to see if we can get something better?

**** Edit: Just looking over at Priceline, and I think it’s automatically choosing another area in addition to the downtown area. When I first start up, I’m only checking off Niagara Falls... after going through the next few screens, I notice that for region, it says: Niagara - St Catherine’s Region. Now I’m a little worried.

So I pretty much killed my diet this weekend, but I had a lot of fun.

? Saturday: Worked 8:15 am - 2:00 pm volunteering at the Paterson community center to help promote Wamu. Spent most of the day making a free food sign and standing outside the place with Jake and some of my co-workers trying to get people into the center. It was crazy.

Afterwards, we trekked over to Queens to meet up with ?? ’[info]’killfurbydead and ’[info]’nomiyomi. It was nice seeing John again, since we haven’t seen him in 8 months. His girlfriend is really nice too. It took us about 2 hours to get to Queens because of traffic and getting lost. Stupid mapquest! We ended up eating Indian food for the first time at Tandoor. What a great restaurant. I’m so glad they suggested it, because we might have never tried it on our own.

? Sunday: Went to Palisades Mall with Jake, Kristina, and Brian. Picked up a cute shirt and skirt for the Sweet 15 party for Jessy’s sister. Had dinner at Houlihan’s. Played Trivial Pursuit DVD edition until we almost passed out.

I want to sell my entire CD collection. I think almost every CD has been imported into iTunes, and now they’re simply taking up space. What do you think?

Curious.... what do you eat for lunch everyday? I usually have a salad. Either with mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar ... or with three bean salad, tomatoes, veggie turkey, cheese, and lite ranch dressing.

So my diet is all kinds of crazy right now. After months and months of eating junk one week and then eating healthy the next week - I finally feel like I’m ready to start a diet again. Right now I’m kinda doing a half low-fat - half low-carb diet, believe it or not. I’m basically eating low-fat, but I’m omitting what I call "unnecessary bread." What I mean by that is instead of eating tacos, I’ll make a taco salad (with veggie meat and no tortillas) or a veggie burger with no bun. I hope this diet works.

Jake and I want to go on vacation either the first or second week of October. We’ll have a moderate amount of money to spend. Flying somewhere is really not an option because plane tickets for two people would cut into our money too much to keep our vacation comfortably affordable. We’re thinking we’re going to have to go somewhere we can drive to. It could be one nice place that we spend a whole week in, or it could be 3-4 stops with a few overnight visits in various places. Where should we go?

I was scheduled to have today off since I worked this past Saturday, but my manager asked if I could come in and she’d pay me overtime. Last week I worked 5 hours overtime, and this week I worked 8.75 hours overtime. My next paycheck will rock.

The rates have been going up a lot lately, so our branch is getting more traffic. And I’m currently working on 2 loans, so I’m excited.

Work is stressing me out a little bit though. I’ve been really tired lately. I can’t wait for the weekend, even though I have no plans.

I knew I left something off my weekend list. We also went to see Anchorman. It was extremely funny, and better than I expected. Finally a Will Ferrell movie as good as his SNL characters. I want to see it again.

Did you see it? What did you think?

Work was pretty busy today. I opened up 4 savings accounts and 1 checking. I also took 2 loan applications, and another customer took an application home. Woo, woo. A customer also tipped me $20 today. Isn’t that crazy? I told him to take it back, but he wouldn’t. He told me that I’d been very helpful, and that I should buy myself some lunch. What a nice guy.

Stuff from the weekend:
? Baja Fresh
? Small shopping spree for work clothes at Garden State Plaza
? River rafting on the Delaware River
