So I just thought someone asked to have her picture taken with me, she’s an industrial design intern leaving for our Hong Kong studio to work full-time, instead I figured out I was the person who was supposed to take the picture.

Ugh. I’m so lame sometimes. Once, when I first started this job I thought someone was asking me to join them for lunch, but they were just asking me a simple question.

For the rest of my life I will always be that awkward girl, despite how cool I try to think I am, or how hot my man is.

I’ll always be weird-ass-awkward-Kate.

Don’t try to tell me otherwise. I know its the truth. Maybe I can be queen of the awkward kids though.

People just don’t understand my cool-potential I guess. If you are reading this, then maybe you do, and for that I thank you.

For those of you who don’t understand why Jeff and I have lasted so long, this is exactly why:

The Light 2008

Thanks Rob…

I think the original song (where the sample was taken), is still my most favorite, “Open Your Eyes,” by Bobby Caldwell. I know for sure that its my old soul talking.

I have a thing for Bobby Caldwell and Diana Krall, I blame this HEAVILY on my pops.

Allergies are on and in full effect.

You can’t get the summer with out spring and you can’t get spring without allergies. Non-stop sneezing from now until April.

ps. I won’t be offended if you are tired of giving me “bless you’s.”

Beautiful weather and great times are on their way.

Anthony Bourdain vs The Food Network

It was pretty stupid to pay for cable tv while the writers strike was going on. However, what I got was a decent tv-cooking/baking education out of watching the Food Network at all hours. I’ve been watching for years, but never before has anything made this much sense.

I have found awe and intrigue in celebrity chefs rather than run of the mill celebrities. My favorite non-food network personality is Anthony Bourdain. He’s foul, a complete asshole, and real. I’m pretty sure he’d make me cry if I met him in real life, but he’s a dope food personality and “No Reservations” is just as dope. If you listen closely he talks so much shit about food network personalities, particularly Tyler Florence and Rachel Ray.

Here’s his blog where he lets it all out.

I second the part where he says Sandra Lee is a she-devil. I thought Martha Stuart was bad, but Sandra Lee is fking ridiculous. Her method to shortcut everything and throw away what she learned in culinary school doesn’t make any sense to me, no sense.

I still love Mario and one day I will eat at Del Posto in NYC. He’s my favorite.

Again, I’d like to reiterate that I am not a singer, but I would sing this at the top of my lungs if they only had this song the next time we do karaoke:

Karaoke when Lauren is back/Jun’s fatass 26th birthday?

Last time I did karaoke I went with my coworkers and they sang songs that made me feel like a baby, Bon Jovi… Bruce Springsteen, etc. etc. I had no idea what was going on….

Quick side story:

We got stuck in an never ending checkout line at the ghetto Safeway. When I asked Jeff why it was taking so long he told me “the guy in front is paying with pennies.” I laughed out loud until he told me he made that up, it sounded so believable. SF is full of crazies.

So I am a dumbass…

I was so drunk on Friday I feel asleep with my contacts on. I woke up on Saturday freaking the hell out when I realized I could read the time on my clock, “WTF I don’t have perfect vision!!!”

My thoughts exactly.

Last night:

_ I was pretty gone
_ So gone as I was speaking my gum flew out and hit Rob’s arm. Sorry Rob!
_ I stepped on gum and proceeded to pick it off my boot with my bare fingers
_ Hugged a everyone like they were long lost friends

Yeah dude, time-of-my-life-gone.

It was a good nite.

The man got home at 10 drunk as hell while I was doing laundry. I tried to take advantage of him but he wouldn’t let me.

I’m not lying, its a true story.
This is my life.
