i think i'm going to revive this eljay from the depths of show promotion and hibernation.
been spending some serious tiempo up in the 914 for personal and familial reasons and because i got a sweet ass waitressing job. waitressing is awesome but i have to remember not to talk about people's boobs, yeast infections, suspected pregnancies, or the pros and cons of circumcision (which, as it turns out, are some of my most favorite subjects).
i just ate a delicious bagel with lox after chatting it up with d. bilmas and a. bernero in the brodsky family kitchen. as i'm sitting here, drinking a nice pinot grigio, and pondering my charming westchester boys i recall that when andy (the aformentioned a. bernero) and i were in high school together we realized that if we both were native americans but still had the same last names our names would be, emily broad sky and andrew burn arrow. while i accept that that might not seem hysterically funny to you all, my readers, it remains high!larious to me.
speaking of westchester boys... i've seen russell j. quite frequently as of late and i like him. he is pretty much exactly like my father except for that he is wildly and uncontrollable contrary (my father is just vaguely and conversationally contrary, if you don't understand the difference then you don’t need to). russell is fun to be around for me. but i wonder if someone who didn’t have a dad like mine would be able to enjoy him. probably not, sucks for y’all.
the pool and the sun and the food are delicious here in the suburbs and sometimes it is important
for an unsteady girl to return to her own specific and important roots to remember some stuff.
the big news this morning was that a family friend set me up on a blind date. i have never been on a blind date. after the offer came in i asked three of my most trusted confidants if i should give it the old college try. they all gave an emphatic yes. here are the specs: a jewish urologist from irvington set me up on a blind date with a boy named s. pierson allen III from memphis. what do you think? all signs seemingly point to yes.
my new thing is always calculating the worst and best case scenarios of any given situation before making a decision. for instance, re: my recent decision as to whether i should go on this blind date: best case scenario, dude is awesome and buys me expensive dinner for the rest of my life. worst case scenario, the dude is terrible and i still have a terrific story to tell (and i can always embellish if he's a bore). so pretty much, this best/worst case scenario calculation has really made my decision making better and easier. score.
i owe some nice people who i like a lot phone calls. if you are one of those people, please don't take it personally. because you know that when i do call i'll be a chatty kathy x infinity. hmmm, maybe i should upload my hawaii pictures so you can see them. maybe i’ll do that when i return to the aubergine.
in any case this summer is panning out to be pretty ace. if you want to hang out call me, i like hanging out. i think that was enough for tonight.
