Kate’s Rants

so i was cruising craigslist ads for apartments on my “lunch break” today (while i was simultaneously working on something through our very very slow server) and found one for a 1 bedroom in downtown davis. and not just downtown: first and C street! that’s REALLY close to campus, very close to farmer’s market, and very close to jamba juice and ben and jerry’s and….. well it’s awesome basically.

i’m going to look at it tomorrow. if it really IS awesome, i might just have to move in now to save my spot. sure i’ll be paying double rent for a couple of months. but i have been saving up some money, and i calculated it out, so i should be fine.

heck YES. i really hope this place works out. i dont really want to move to woodland, even though if i DID, i could probably find a 2 bedroom for the same price as this 1 bedroom. sheesh.

also, i dont know if this place allows cats. but i figure i won’t ask, and i can just sneak Poof in. she does love looking out windows, but whatevs.

so everyone out in cyberworld: keep your fingers crossed for me. maybe i’ll be moving in june. sweeeet.

Oh avacado,

smashed onto my sandwich

you taste oh-so-delicious

but then when i bite

you squish out the sides

and splat on my lap.

Oh, avacado

you are so green

my pants are so not

and now, avacado

i must wipe you into my napkin

and throw you away

in contempt.

NEVER AGAIN.

but maybe tomorrow.

you taste too good.

THIS IS THE LONGEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! 

i rented “becoming jane” mostly because james mc avoy is in it. he’s very dreamy. 

but i dont know why i thought i’d like it. i dont like any jane austen books, so why would i like a movie about her life?? what was i THINKING?? what a waste of a netflix movie. oh well. 

but seriously, this movie is going on way way too long. her life was not THAT interesting. for sheezy. she fell in love with a poor guy, and can’t marry him. sad. cry. cry. start to like the original not so hot dude, because he respects her. yay. happy happy. come on. someone needs to die or there needs to be a little more action. 

wait wait… i think she’s “old” now… like it’s supposed to be the end of her life and she’s an accomplished writer now maybe. oh yep. now she’s all famous because she wrote pride and prejudice. i guess that’s sortof the story of her life? i dunno, i never read it. BECAUSE I DONT LIKE JANE AUSTEN BOOKS. 

by making her “old” they just made her look sick. hahaha. 

ps: james mc avoy is way hotter with his natural scottish accent. seriously. 

awwww he named his daughter after her, to sickeningly remind himself of the love he lost all those years ago. *tear*

the end.

i have a choice: i can either go on a cool fun cruise with my friends this august, OR i can spend my money on furniture from ikea and decorate my new apartment (that i will have, i dont have it yet.)

what a dilemma. fo shizzle. 

i mean, i’ve never been on a cruise OR to mexico, so that would be AWESOME! but i also really really want to redecorate my apartment i will be living in… 

gah. decisions decision. what should i do? opinions?

i’m eating my lunch right now. i ordered a bean and rice burrito combo plate (the combo includes a side of beans, rice and chips). basically, lots of beans and rice. except they didn’t put any rice in my burrito, so LOTS of beans. i dont know if it was such a good idea to order so many beans at work. yikes.

so i really miss eating lunch with my friends in scotland. we always had some crazy convo. most of the time here i eat lunch by myself in my office, really fast because i have to move on to the next thing. LAME. but it’s a toss up. my job here is way better than my job in scotland.

so my dad suggested i move to washington DC because there’s lots of young people running things over there. he thinks i’d fit it.

i might consider it if i had a friend or someone to go with. i dont know ANYONE there, and my family is here so i’d have to basically save all my money to fly back to california 2 times per year. and i dont know what i would do there.

i have briefly thought about doing a culinary program in new york. not the city, the state. that might be kinda cool, but again, i’d have to save money to do it.

last night i looked at ikea.com and fell completely in love with one of their bedroom designs. when i move, i’m going to copy it somewhat. also, i was thinking about it, and i could totally fill a 3 bedroom house up all by myself. sheesh! i mean, i’d have a guestroom/office, i’d have MY bedroom, and i’d have a studio. that means if i ever have a family, we better be living in a mansion or i better get less selfish.

well i should get back to my lunch. it’s getting cold. i might not eat all the beans though, or i’ll feel bad for my coworkers. gross.

hello all! i realize i have not posted in awhile. i was just re-reading some old blogs and remembered how fun it was to post random things.

and then something funny happened which reminded me of other funny things that i feel like sharing.

so there are 3 cats in our house. i have one (her name is poof/poofer/poofy/baby) and my roommate has 2. anyway, 2 of them are sitting on the windowsill right now. a moment ago, a bird came and landed on the window screen, which caused much commotion among the two kitties on the windowsill. there was squeaking, scrambling, and general confusion for about 15 seconds.

that was the most action i’ve seen all day. wow my life is SO interesting right now.

but on that sortof note….. my roommate with 2 cats provides endless entertainment for me. i’m at a point in my life where i’d much rather live by myself. but certain circumstances caused me to search for a roommate on craigslist. that being said, i think i found myself a rather normal-ish roommate.

however, she does not seem to know how to talk to boys or keep them around.

not that i can really talk. my ONE relationship lasted the longest when we were 3000 miles away from each other. hm.

anyway, just from simple observations, i have learned some surefire ways to lose a guy in 10 SECONDS.

1) definitely say you want to go to dinner, then eat dinner before he shows up.

2) talk about your cats. and nothing else.

3) talk about yourself a lot.

4) talk about your past relationships.

5) tell the boy they must be gay.

6) if he tells you he’s allergic to your pets, invite him over to your pet-infested house IMMEDIATELY.

7) when he shows signs of being ready to leave, tell him you’re almost ready and then leave him in the living room with the 3 cats for 10 minutes.

8 ) be in the shower when he shows up at the door. classic. let’s make him wait at the door for 20 minutes.

if you don’t want a guy to stick around, just try those tips. i’m sure they work every time. simple observation.

but hey, at least she’s reeling them in right?? i have not a clue on those tips. sorry folks.
