Capitalize, Monopolize and Socialize…

…on your Birthday. Happy Birthday to Toddthalamul. Tonight for Todd’s fun birthday adventure we decided to socialize and try to get him everything for free tonight. What can I say we are broke over worked college students?

We started the night at Joe Carrow’s but ended up leaving after only 5 minutes. The reason being no one offered to serve us and the staff was as usual sort of rude. We left and ventured east to Two Fool’s Tavern. Where Todd got lucky and got a free Guinness from the bartender. I drank a St. Peter’s Stout it was supa very tasty.

Next it was on to Kelly’s for more tasty beverage and greasy food items. We ordered the nachos and a pitcher of the Dunklewisen. Again delicious and perfect for the mouth(1) and tummy(8) Todd scored here as well with a free pint of outer space brew.

Fianlly it was onto Coldstone to sweet our pallets. Apparently Coldstone does not give out free scoops on your birthday (this really made me miss Baskin Robins .a.k.a 31 flavors). The last stop was at Hollywood video where Todd received a free rental on a film featuring scantily clad 18 year old girls fight with pillows. Over all I had a blast with TNT on T2’s birthday adventure!

To smit or not to smit?


If you love classic films from the early nineties then of course you love the flick “So I married an Axe Murderer” if you don’t, then you are surely missing out on some good times with your VCR. In this blog you will find a descriptor of a scene in the film. A great scene actually, a romantic one a terribly romantic movie scene that only Hollywood could produce. What I am thinking, handling and trying to communicate and also something to ponder about yourself as well remember personal growth is my new motto (no I am not taking this counseling degree too far)

The Scene: Very romantic; night stroll on a cool summer night in San Francisco.

The Characters: Mike Myers and Nancy Travis (leader Characters and great screen chemists)

The Prospectus: they are flirting, teasing and goofing around enjoying one of those early dates where everything is fresh and new and exciting still. You know the dates before the sex but usually fizzle out when sex in introduced to the ‘relationship’?

The Line: “Look, what can I tell you. I'm smitten. I'm in deep smit, I dunno. I just don't wanna talk about it, because then I start analyzing and that's not good for me.

My rational: This is sort of how I feel right now in my life . Except the scene is a little different. He has already declared his smittenness for me. So this should of made it easier for me to declare smit for him when I felt the smit hit me on one of our dates. But it didn’t. This declaration actually made me jump back a foot or two and pnder the price of bricks and mortor for about 35 seconds. I think this is the commitment phobic part of me that will at great times in a new or old relationship rear its ugly, sabotaging way and make me freak me out. Crazy self analysis and admission, Huh?

Kat concludes: After reading and rereading what I just wrote back to myself I just grasp a problem area in my personality. I believe in personal growth. You know what? I am smitten, I am in deep smit and I am not going to have a problem with this. SBA I am in great smit with you. See that was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Now to find my cell..
