Nice... Boobs

Last Thursday, Kevin on The Office, asked his new love interest on a date. When she accepted, he responded with, “Nice.” And then his eyes roamed down to her chest and he finished with, “boobs.”

And that pretty much sums up my weekend. Really, this weekend was boobalicious. On Saturday night, a bunch of us went to a bar in downtown LA called Bordello for sis-E’s birthday. We had ventured all the way out to downtown to see The Devil’s Playground, a burlesque group that one of sis-E’s friends, H, is close with (and, of course, to celebrate a quarter century of sis-E). So, of course, we had to dress up for the occasion; the theme of the night was fetish. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when H and sis-E whipped out some sassy corsets, I knew I needed to step up my game in order to hang. Luckily, my mom had my back and ran upstairs to lend me a bustier and some sexy heels (yeah, I know. It’s kind of hilarious/gross that my mom has super sexy clothing that she’s willing to lend to her daughter so that I can slut it up at a burlesque show). I paired these with a pencil skirt and a long string of pearls and I was ready to go.

The show was fabulous! Really, it was so well done. The women of the Devil’s Playground are true entertainers. I think I even learned a couple of things. Like how to look uber hot while putting on stockings. Or taking them off. And, of course, in theme with my weekend, the breasts were flowing aplenty. I had no idea pasties came in so many different colors. With so many bells and whistles! The highlight was when the “army fetish” girl attached sparklers to her pasties for a true finale.

I was even complimented on my outfit (which was actually rather modest): “Nice pearls,” he said. When I told my mom, she asked, “Did he mean your necklace?” OMG, mom.

I think the unexpected boobiness of the weekend took place last night at sis-E’s birthday dinner with the fam. For those of you who don’t know my sisters, they both have huge racks. Like HUGE. I’m the less endowed sister and my family never ceases to remind me of this fact. Except for last night. Somehow, by some freak of nature, I was showing too much cleavage (through my tank top, long sleeved shirt, and fleece) and my brother pointed it out to my sister who then made a big deal about it. My family literally laughed about this for five minutes. With Grandma and Grandpa. Rather than being embarrassed, I recognized that this might be the only time in my life that someone complains that my boobs are too big and I decided to bask in the moment. Which made us all laugh more (and probably made Grandma and Grandpa a little uncomfortable).

But really, it was a fitting end to a boob-filled weekend.

tweet!

I am obsessed with twitter.  At first, I thought it was lame because who cares about your status, anyway?  (oh WAIT!  This sounds like how I felt about blogging, too!!  hmm, maybe I'm a little slow in embracing the internets).  But now, I love it!!  I think the best part is that you can follow/stalk famous people.  For example, I am currently "following" one of my favorite writers/bloggers, Mindy Kaling (aka Kelly Kapoor on the Office) and just reading her updates makes me giddy.  

I really think  you should look into tweeting.  It's so much better than you'd expect it to be.

Tonight a few great things happened:

1) The Office. Every time I hear the opening music to the office I can't help but bounce up and down on the couch, humming the music and clapping my hands with a giant grin on my face. No exaggeration. And I watched last week's episode, too, so it was a double-header.

Great moments included the duel between Dwight and Andy: "Why isn't he turning around?" "The Prius is silent at under 5 MPH. Andy deserves the win." And the office-wide debate about Hilary Swank's hottness. I especially appreciated this debate because just last week I spent some time in the lab debating a similar question: Blake Lively's breasts. Are they real or not? Seriously, I vote for fake. Judge for yourselves.

2) Pistachio Chocolate. In an attempt to spend the last of my pesos in Mexico, I bought some pistachio chocolate at the airport. I hadn't had the chance to try it until tonight. Sure, the chocolate tasted great, but the real excitement came from opening the package. To keep the chocolate bar from breaking, a piece of cardboard was placed under the wrapper. Instead of acting like a normal person and simply removing the cardboard, I instantly thought of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and started dancing around my tiny kitchen singing, "I've got a Golden Ticket!" It really tickled me. As in I'm still kind of laughing about it. (But seriously, who doesn't think of finding a Golden Ticket when they open a chocolate bar?).

3) 30 Rock. This is possibly my new favorite show. Yeah, I know. It's been on for a while now - it's in its third season. So I'm a little late in my discovery. Whatever! This show is awesome. I downloaded 6 episodes to watch on my iPod nano on my trip to Cabo. I thought I would watch them on the plane, but I really ended up watching them in bed while my friends were still sleeping in... and I would end up laughing out loud! My friends thought I was crazy.

But anyway, the best part of the 30 Rock episode tonight was that there was a public health message in it!! WOOO PUBLIC HEALTH! Tracy Morgan's character goes to the doctor and finds out he is at risk for diabetes. And then Jack McBrayer (Kenneth) tries to convince him to eat healthier to reduce his risk. Love the health messages here. They were relevant, naturally placed, and still entertaining!

4) Match.com/Facebook chatting. After a couple of weeks off, I finally made my way back onto Match.com. I had a few emails to read and winks to check out (boy do I feel popular). I even did a couple of searches. I also had a fun facebook chat with a new friend from speed dating. Good times on the internet :)

5) Medical School. I got rejected from another medical school tonight. But who cares?! Not to be a gloater, but I got into Medical School (Drexel) on Sunday! WOOT! I'm going to be a doctor! Okay, enough of that. But seriously, I'm super happy. And to all of those schools who are rejecting me (it's been 3 this week), you can suck it! Because I'm already in!

Things that did not happen tonight: Yoga, lit review for my internship, reading my book Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, early to bed.
