thinking inside the box..wine.

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

Day 2 of being snowed in. My friend, we’ll call her Kate, had made it over to our house for a movie marathon: You Again, Life As We Know It, The Switch. Being the crowd it was.. wine was involved. Throughout the duration of 3 movies, one can’t focus on how much wine one is consuming. There are too many plots to follow. Had no wine been consumed.. one would have realized that the plots were not hard to follow, and were in fact, spelled out in previews..

Anyway, just before bed, my mind was flooded with thoughts. Apparently.. because I had written them down on the back of a birthday banner, then presented them to my roommate, we’ll call her Amanda, as the first chapter of my book.

Things I’ve learned from being snowed in:

1.) A walk in the snow is NO walk in the park.. with a sidewalk or grass.

2.) Tip for first time Mario-Karters: Don’t overcorrect.. you will die and assume 11th or 12th place.

3.) Food.. knows no bounds.

4.) Replacing alcohol with food only makes food more desirable. (I think I meant ‘replacing food with alcohol’)

5.) Insanity comes in cupcake shapes.

6.) Cleanliness has its ups & downs.

7.) My architecture writing looks good.

8.) Finishing the Chelsea Handler series leaves you feeling.. teased.

9.) Having wood floors.. you find your limits.

10.) Your best ideas come Franzia induced.

11.) You learn from shows, things you never thought were possible:
-I learned more in 30minutes of Cash Cab than I learned in 4 years of Newcastle High.
-How to fire/tenant proof an entire apartment for ‘Income Property’. <3 HGTV

12.) How much TV sucks.. American Pie, Tombstone, and I Am Legend apparently have all the same commercial breaks. Not even How I Met Your Mother competes.
