so the weirdest thing happened yesterday.
my parents were out, and my dog starts backing out of our living room barking wildly at seemingly nothing, and then refuses to return to the living room. i was like, wtf, thinking maybe someone was around and he was going nuts at a burglar or something. then the fire alarm starts going off in that same living room... except we had disconnected our fire alarm and it wasn't even anywhere in the room. the dead fire alarm is in our second apartment and doesn't even have batteries in it. i called a neighbor, and no one could locate the source of the sound. then everything that was on some hangers that were up fell off at the same time. all the clothes. but all the hangers were up and normal.
even my dad was weirded out.
buttons refused to return to the living room until my parents came home. even when i tried to carry him in there, he started freaking out. it was the oddest thing. so i'm pretty much thinking we had a ghost or something all otherworldly like that, whereas the only excuse my mom and neighbors could come up with was freak earthquake. yeah, that makes no sense whatsoever, earthquake in just my apartment, in only the bathrooms and living room?
weird nj!
meanwhile, i'm jammin out to the new david gray album and the kristen chenowith/matthew morrison cover of heart's "alone." so good. and i used to hate that song! but now it's amazing. for realz, whoever thought of combining the 80s and broadway stars = genius! the show leaves me wanting, but i see that it has good intentions and is cheesy enough to work. also, i love kurt.
okay, passing out before work in the am. and apps. and volunteering. and bla bla bla. it's sad that my life is amounting to this much in the interim while i wait to hear back from schools, haha.
worth it!

| Life Recap:
Meghna hilariously dropped her phone onto the track at Penn Station. A guy picked it up and called us, and semi demanded a reward. Wow, way to counterbalance the nice act with douchey-ness.
The next day was Lindsay's wedding. Mishap after mishap plagued the day on my end leading to missing most of the wedding and most of the reception. Le sigh. But Lindsay was lovely and the wedding was cute, and the reception site was beautiful. I'm sure she had a marvelous time and that's all that matters! Ali and her bridesmaids looked wonderful and the groomsmen did too!
The next day was part of the Diwali weekend. Bryn and I were mostly trapped at home with the parental units post the big group Where the Wild Things Are trip. But then we snuck away to Cuban Pete's to have a moment to catch up. At some point before she left, we hit up South St in Philly and then had Sonics for the first time ever (for me anyway).
The following weekend we finally celebrated my dad's 59th bday. Nick and Bruce came down from Beantown because it was also Nick's birthday. We bar hopped on Friday night, meeting up with Nick's awesome friends Pete and Lisa, the former of whom works for Michel Gondry (WTF! Awesome!) and is adorable, and the latter is cool and looks decades younger than her age. We went from Therapy to Vynl to Trash and made it home by 4:30 am to crash. We had an awesome Indian food celebratory dinner and then shopped a bit before changing for the big Ravi Shankar show. We were third row center. My mom and her friends were 2nd row center. It was astronomically close. Insane. It went on for two hours but really felt like 30 minutes. All the elder Indian folks around me were crying. I think Nick even did at some point. Afterwards, we attempted to meet the Punditji Ravi Shankar, but couldn't, but my mom and dad raised a huge fuss (and made a bit of a scene, I must say) so we skidaddled to the diner on 10 only to find out that my mom and dad's persistance paid off. Holy Hell.
At the diner, the little kids in the booth next to us had clearly never seen hipsters before and were very obviously staring and were kind of heinous. We were on the verge of a fight when their parents picked them up. On Sunday, Bruce/Nick and I hit up the NYC as per usual and got some Billy's cupcakes and shopped at Top Shop. Nick found and purchased gorgeous pants, I found but could not locate a fabulous tulle dress, and the boys headed back after a fantastic weekend.
Buttons, also known as Baby Buttons, United Colors of Buttons, and my personal favorite - Beauxbuttons, had his first playdate at Christy's with her cats. I think it went pretty well despite a peeing incident that sent her mom fleeing. Luckily, I brought toilet paper to clean things up, and then Buttons proceeded to run away with the rest of the roll, essentially teepee-ing Christy's dining room. Just in time for mischief night.
Then Ali and I had the chance to catch up at the Famished Frog, and had, what I think may be the longest dinner I've ever had with another person. 4 hours! Go us! And we probably would've sat for longer if we hadn't noticed the other remaining table of people getting ready to leave. In the meantime, I look forward to Norton and Lunchbox, ThinkGeek cocktail chemistry sets, and memorizing a new Robin William's comedy special.
Lastly, Happy Halloween! Though I wanted to dress Buttons up as a Beedog, this year, I'll refrain. Sometime in the future, I have to convince my mom and dad to go as Marge and Homer, respectively. Or my mom to go as a Clefairy. Next year, I think I'll be the Queen of Hearts.
This year, however, Batman marathon. Thanks Fox Family Channel!

| I was catching up on Heroes and found myself wondering where Sendhil Ramamurthy was. He plays Mohinder, an altogether useless character, but handsome scientist with a British accent (though the actor himself is from the US).
Anyhoozlebees, this led me to IMDB.
Now, it's no secret that I think the man behind Mohinder to be attractive, but then I saw he played a character on Psych named Raj Singh.
Ewwwwwwww.

| Today I ran out the door to work so quickly I didn't notice that most of my shirt was still open. In fact, I didn't notice until I reached my office, so pretty much everyone from Penn Station to my office got a glimpse of my cleavage and black bra. You're welcome, New York. | | |

1) When hitting on a girl, it's probably best to not spill all your awful little secrets. Especially because I don't want to know! I am flattered that even strangers think that I am someone who will listen, and I do, but still. Not kosher, and I'm not interested.
2) Within the past week, 3 of my bras have broken! Lame! I've had to do that awkward "underwire is puncturing my rib cage"fidget, and yup, it's time to do some shopping.
3) I taught the pup to sit. Mostly. And our vet works with a physician that's faculty at one of my considered schools. Score.
4) I was looking at the potential location info for Lindsay's bachelorette party by Googling it online. Oh man, I have already seen it all by simply hanging out. To the point where I'm just like, meh, I prefer Billy's to Magnolias, and I have a few stories from the PC, especially drunkenly wandering past on weekends, etc. And I'm going to have fun with my friends and celebrate Lindsay's impending nuptials, but while everyone is visiting the scenes of a show, I am revisiting scenes from my life. Another life, really.
5) I'm okay with 4. 
6) I'm having trouble figuring out a fallback plan. Do I do UK/Island/NY? Or do I do Island/Island/NJ? The problem with the former is the lack of NJ factor. :-s Must talk to Jessica, post haste. And I know, I know. I'll be fine, but I find it's always best to have a safety.
7) Autumn.
