the greatest thing since sliced...

...peanut butter? while i am having a very strong reaction to this product, i am honestly unsure as to whether i love this idea or hate it. on the one hand, it rules the "chunky"option out, altogether. and i am quite passionate about chunky peanut butter. but, i suppose it makes the otherwise unbuildable "elvis sandwich" a bit easier to construct. yeah, definitely.

survey says: love it (but, will never personally use it) damn you chunky peanut butter - you've ruined all others for me!

tracksuit of the week

a new jersey award, if ever there was one.
and the honor goes to:

"guy doing the 'robot dance' in sears ad"

awesome!

gee, your hair smells like...a commune?

can i ask why, when i spend $25 on a bottle of salon shampoo, it has to smell like eau de 1967? if i wanted my hair to take on the overpowering essence of cloves and patchouli, i'd jump into a vw van and be done with it. flowers. citrus. these are things i like my hair to smell of. not hippie ass. thank god i didn't have an interview that day. they probably would've given me a random drug test. i'm glad i got that out. i feel much better now.

the minima template

this sparse, white, aptly-named "minima template" is probably not the best choice for a blog entitled "ohmygodiliveinjersey". but there apparently is no velour option here.

okay, maybe that's a bit harsh. there are some very nice things about new jersey. but being a homesick massachusetts girl, i find myself focusing on jersey's more negative attributes. so i'll say upfront that this is more about missing home than, dissing where i currently live. and it is made worse by the fact that i used to live in the middle of manhattan. which didn't stink.

not that the name of this blog is necessarily negative: "ohmygodiliveinjersey" could be a positive statement. for example, i would imagine one might utter "ohmygodiwonagazilliondollars" upon winning the lottery. the "ohmygod" part could be an excited, happy response to something, right?

i mean, sure, people say things like, "ohmygodi'mbleeding", and "ohmygodthissucks", but those are certainly not your only "ohmygod" options.

now that i've sufficiently beaten this to death, i promise that my next post will be a rundown of things that i like about new jersey. well, maybe not my next post. but soon. trust me, it's coming!
