         <title>WISH ME LUCK!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[okay, in honor of it being 08.08.08, and it feeling like a lucky day... and the fact that Trump Marina sent me a thing in the mail saying "hey, we're giving you $150 to play with today." I'm heading to Atlantic City with a few friends for a couple of hours to see if I can do a little damage to The Donald. 

Also, they're giving away $888 every 10 minutes. yep. they know how to get to me. 

*shaking my fist at Trump's Marketing wizards*

It'd be swell if I hit for the $4000 again like I did in December. (or the progressives :}  hell, maybe I'll just play the number 8 on the roulette tables.)


<em>* 08.08.08 is also my former stalker Mike's birthday today.</em>]]></description>

         <title>SO, I RECOMMENDED A GOOD PLACE...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[my friend Cathy is down from the city this week. she and her giant family rented a house in Point this week and tonight they were celebrating her sister's 50th birthday. She wanted to know where to get a really nice dinner.... for EIGHTEEN of them.

Of course, i recommended the restaurant where TB&trade; a.k.a. B&trade; is the Exec. Chef.

So, she just texted me a little while ago:

<em>"Everything was absolutely delicious"</em>

Glad to have recommended a restaurant that I've never eaten at, but, trust that the fella in charge of the vittles knows what the hell he's doing.

         <title>PROBABLY 30 WW POINTS</title>
         <description><![CDATA[so, Jim Gaffigan posted a blog today about the  <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=21148571&blogID=421691950&Mytoken=D42631D2-612D-43A0-8113AC9A992A41FC145601402" target="_blank">best burgers in the country</a>.

That got me thinking about the photo of the burger I had at The Quay in Marathon Key back in 2004 (unfortunately, The Quay was knocked down in one of the 2005 'canes and never rebuilt.)

         <title>THE DARK KNIGHT!</title>
         <description><![CDATA[went to see The Dark Knight flick tonight with Cathy! AWESOME movie.

Heath Ledger was excellent (and i'm not just throwing him some sort of "ah, the poor guy's dead" sort of praise. he REALLY creeped me the hell out!)

Christian Bale. *sigh* i've dug him (as an actor) since he was in Empire of the Sun (one of my favourites) and now... NOW... mother of pearl, he's a handsome son of a gun.

speaking of handsome... Aaron Eckhart. fantastic!!! 

now that i've gotten saliva all over the keyboard...

it was a tremendous movie. the visual effects were stunning! 

I want to see it again.

oh... so, B&trade; (not The Boy&trade;. he's now been downgraded to Boy&trade;) and I are heading into NYC on Tuesday to a benefit at Gotham Comedy Club.

Who's on the bill? Dave Attell, Artie Lange, Greer Barnes and a number of others. 

It's a benefit for another comedian who has cancer, yet, no health insurance.

Speaking of health insurance...

went to the Lady Business Doc today. All's well.

Blood pressure is a little low ( 90/70 ) and i'm 70 pounds overweight, but, other than that... tip-top!

Even better, I had the health insurance - well, it kicked in last friday... I don't have a card, but I did have an email from my insurance dude stating I was covered and all that.

So, they didn't charge me... nor did I have to do the co-pay thing. They said they're looking into the coverage and if anything, they'll send me a bill. Awesome! Because I really didn't want to shell out $150 ON TOP of the $300 I just paid for the insurance.

No free samples for the ABVs anymore. That's okay. When it's time for me to head to CVS to drop off the Rx next month, I'll have my prescription card and the $60 pills will be around $30 (i think.)

yes. it's a pretty expensive calendar.

anyway. i'm tired. too much excitement for one day, between The Dark Knight and downgrading the TB&trade; to B&trade; (he's still in the picture, but sans T)]]></description>

         <title>I&apos;M GOING TO PROPOSE.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[yep. me. I'm ---- wait, what the eff are you thinking of? not THAT type of thing. you're on crack. 

I have been in talks with this one comedian for a few months and since I've been swamped and also have had a billion things going on (gigglemom, cruise, pedicures, whatever) I hadn't really felt like taking on another client.

Silly, eh? yeah i know.

Anyway... the guy wrote a book which is being released (published/ i've gotta figure out the terminology for the book websites :} I know CDs and DVDs are released, TV shows and movies premiere... )

So, I've kinda been pushing him off and stuff (since I DO have a few other projects that I work on - but, I think this should be pretty cut and dry.)

He sent me another email yesterday:

<BLOCKQUOTE><I>Erin, 
I'm giving it another try here -  because I really like your work and would love for you to do my book site.</i></blockquote>


So this time I said "let's do it."


Of course, hopefully he realizes I mean the book site. 

In any event, I've gotta send off a proposal later today and then start cranking out this site over the next couple of weeks. (I also have a small one page site to slap together by friday for one of the comedy clubs in the city... i still need to finish attell's site - but, haven't had all of the images sent to me. *sigh*)

anyway... the book site should be pretty cool. looks like a funny novel. 

will tell the name at a later date. ]]></description>

         <title>Stuff. (It&apos;s too early for a swanky title.)</title>
         <description><![CDATA[went to bed at a decent hour last night (if you call 1:30am decent. I do. think it's the earliest night this week.)

hung out with Cathy and her sister for most of yesterday afternoon. went to the nail salon with them at around 3pm and didn't get out of there till 5pm (that's the longest I've ever spent in the stinking place. they were busy... on a monday. which is ridiculous.) 

whilst there, sitting with the feet in the hot water waiting for 20 minutes for someone to start doing the pedicure, we were looking out the front window and all of a sudden, a car comes speeding into the parking lot...

following the car is 3 Brick cop cars.

they surround said car that just pulled in. 

Was I thinking "Oh my God! It's a standoff! Someone's gonna get shot?!!" 

No.

Was I thinking "Wow! What the hell did that guy do to have 3 cop cars surround him?!"

No.

Was I thinking "Holy Crap! They're right near my car - if they shoot Phooka, I'm gonna kill all of them!!"

Yes. That was going through my head.

Then after about 10 minutes, the cops slapped the cuffs on the guy and hauled him away. No idea what the hell that was all about. Hey, it's Brick. Stuff like that happening is a dime a dozen (I hate this town... not for nothing.) 

Anyway... got the manicure/pedicure and then we went to Circuit City where the verizon store is - Cathy got a new phone. She wanted the LG En-V like I have, but, apparently (according to the guy) they've discontinued my idiotic phone and the one that's similar is the <a href="http://www.lgmobilephones.com/phone.aspx?id=292" target="_blank">"Voyager"</a>

whyyyyyyyyyy? why couldn't i have waited 6 months to upgrade my phone? I want this phone now. it's got the swanky touch screen but also has the qwerty keyboard that my phone now has... but, the touch screen makes you feel like you've at least got the poor man's iPhone... or a starter iPhone. waaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Gadget Girl is miffed.

I suppose my goofy green phone is still fine, but... there's always something better on the horizon.

I've got the chick doctor at 1pm today. 

Then at 11pm, <a href="http://www.state.nj.us/lottery/home.shtml" target="_blank">I've got to win $34 million</a>. 

Busy day. Busy day.

most of you know that <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/gigglechick" target="_blank">I am for Hillary</a>. Still am. You may think I'm delusional. Whatever.

(oh, and because I am still for Hill, I've been called a "stupid racist c*nt who should die" and told that my "vagina should fill with blood and explode" by some followers of Barky. Classy, eh??) 

Anyway... this morning, as I watched the news - if you want to call it that - there was a story about how Obama wants to give Florida and Michigan FULL votes now. After that whole rigmarole back in June where the DNC raped Hillary's delegates and then gave FL and MI half a vote per delegate (and took some AWAY from Hillary.)

FULL VOTES? Now? What? Because it's convenient for him now? 

I don't think you realize how much this is raising my blood pressure right now.

         <description>was up pretty late last night. have to go out with Cathy (who rented a house down here for the week) and go get a manicure/pedicure. 

first, i&apos;ve gotta drag clothes to the laundromat and then crank out some work this morning.
