Hump Day Distractions

This is not my sex tape.

Happy Hump Day my merry friends! How are we holding up this week? My body finally seems to have adjusted to daylight savings (that 1 hour will kill ya in the morning!) and today looks to be sunny and spring-like; not too shabby for a Wednesday! Here's another long list of distractions though... just in case :)

* 12 adorable ways to jazz up your cellphone case

* I am tooootally guilty of doing THIS (hehe).

* You ever see a pair of shoes and think "I need to have those shoes" but then they're sold out so you wonder "will I ever have those shoes?" Right now, THESE are those shoes.

* Cannot wait to see how my hair looks in these knots!

* Do you live in NYC? Do you love Grilled Cheese!?? Then THIS event is for you (and me and Sis!)

* What a totally awesome return address stamp idea! (via CupofJo)

* A great piece on knowing what's bad to eat and accepting that sometimes we're going to eat it anyway.

* Would you ever pay to snuggle with a stranger? (even stranger than it sounds!)

* Goats yelling like humans (so freakin funny)

* Humans yelling like goats yelling like humans (so freakin funny/where do people find the time!?)

Are you serious!? (A cellular rant)

I see you over there... glowing...

On Friday night Dr. H and I went to the movies (at the awesome Nitehawk Cinema, but more on that another day) and I sat next to a woman who was OUT OF CONTROL with her cellphone. Throughout the previews she was texting and posting to Facebook (hey, you want to have your phone out in a dark room next to me? Ima look at your screen!) and I nearly said something, but then Ms. "I-can't-live-in-the-present-because-I-must-stay-tethered-to-the-digital-world" did put down her phone. However mid-movie she started checking for new messages, scrolling her News Feed and once even waved the phone in her companions' face to show him something (I hope it was a date and I hope that made him hate her). Phone Girl's phone glow seriously hindered my ability to relax and enjoy the film!

Now maybe this sounds harsh, and maybe if I'd spoken up she would have realized she was being rude and stopped, but I didn't want to be "that girl" (...you know, the one who speaks up and makes you want to roll your eyes and say "geez lady, lighten up!") But honestly... WTF Phone Girl!? You're at the MOVIES!! You aren't a doctor, you're not checking on your kid, you paid good money to sit here and watch this so put away your tele and be HERE, watching THIS! All that other stuff will be there in 2 hours I promise. And if nothing else, consider the obnoxious glow your phone is casting, impacting the good time of all the people around you - it sucks.

So that's my rant on  taking out your cell phone at the movies. I'm sure none of you will ever volunteer to see a movie with me again:)
