A few chores take up so much time

March 20, 2012 in Everyday | Tags: apartment, chores, everyday, laundry, wedding | Comments closed

I’ve been so busy lately, from decorating my new apartment and settling in/down. I never fully realized how busy one can get doing even the simplest of day-to-day chores.

Going from one load of laundry every two weeks, to one load of laundry every 4-5 days is just baffling to me! (It’s not that I’m being OCD. Our in-house washer/dryer unit is super tiny & can’t hold more than 5 t-shirts without filling to the top.) Also, my apartment may only be 700 sq. feet in size, but it really takes quite a bit of furniture to fill the space…

All in all, I can’t wait for all the “dust to settle”, so I can settle down & finally relax & enjoy my space.

Words I learned at The Shore

March 6, 2012 in Everyday | Tags: Jersey-Shore, MTV, trash | Comments closed

I don’t watch The Jersey Shore show regularly…but when I get into a phase where I’ll watch a few back-to-back episodes (’cause there’s nothing else to watch on TV), I tend to pick up on a few things. These are some of the words/phrases I learned from watching The Jersey Shore (aside from the usual “Guido”, “GTL”):

1. “At this point…”
Every fight either starts or ends with the phrase “At this point…”. For example: “I’m…like…done with the kid at this point.”

2. “Grimy” – for when someone’s behavior ~~& not their bed sheets~~ is dirty/filthy/disgusting.

3. “the Kid” – another Jersey-fied way of saying “him” or “her” or “that guy”.

4. To “blast” someone – basically to yell at someone & eventually start a huge fight over nothing.

5. “Shady” – the most generic & baseless term for calling someone a liar or a creep for their suspicious or less than upstanding behavior.

6. “Boy code” – not to be confused with “Bro code”…this is when one Guido looks out for his “boy” ~~who cries like a pussy after every bitch fest~~ after a girlfriend fight, so they can “GTL” & “smush” drunk girls they bring home from the clubs.

See, there’s so much useless trash you can learn from watching The Jersey Shore on MTV ~~when you want to fry your brain~~. This is complete & utter mind garbage, but it’s wicked fun sometimes, no?
