What's Grosser than Gross?

Ummm, so I was a little vexed by the whole laundro-mat thing anyways but the following occurrence has made me utterly disgusted with the whole situation!

I had done my laundry last week at a place around the corner which appeared to be reasonably clean. No visible disgustingness anyway, and after all, Im supplying soap and water to the situation, so how bad can it be right????? READ ON...............

So, this week I pulled out a "clean" towel to use after I washed my face. After a thorough wipe down, I went to return the towel to the bar on the wall in my bathroom when I noticed something fall out of my towel and onto the floor. I reached down to pick it up, and there in my hands was a small flesh colored square.....................

you savvy ones are headed in the right direction here...................

I turned the plastic square over to read the writing and try to decipher what this thing could be (all the while praying that my suspicions were wrong).............

Low and behold, the patch read "Ortho- evra". IT WAS A BIRTH CONTROL PATCH. The kind worn somewhere on A WOMAN'S SKIN which releases hormones into the body.

This is disgusting any way you look at it, but let me further embellish your initial disgust with a fun fact: NOONE IN MY APARTMENT, NOR ANY OF MY RECENT INVITED GUESTS USES SAID PATCH.

This thing that made its way to my towel which I use to WIPE MY FACE had originated on the flesh of a stranger (God only knows where said stranger prefers to stick the device on her body or what said stranger's cleanliness rituals are like if any) using the vehicle of public laundry facilities to make its way dangerously close to ME!

Anyone know where I can get some disposable underpants??? I AM NOT DOING LAUNDRY IN PUBLIC EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talia's Song Pick-O-The-Week

Old Skool Love
By Divine Brown
It's funny, how memories
Keep bringing you back to me
Just when I started to get myself together again
Thoughts of you
Come creeping in
Met at a party in June
Wasn't really tryin' to notice you
You looked at me with your sweet brown eyes
You walked up and said 'Hi'
Who would have known
That a love affair like ours would grow
Then slip away

[Chorus:]
Still miss that old school love
Not quite that do right love
Your love was fine
Never old time
You're steady on my mind
Still miss that old school love
Not quite the right one love
I don't want you back
But I'll never ever love the same way again

Now here I am startin' over with a new love
He's a real man with a good heart
He's more than enough
Laid back and smooth
With a warm and gentle touch
Near or far
His love is (never) never
(Never) never too much
(There I go again)
Thinkin' about your lips
When I'm kissing him
(There you go again)
Throwin' me back, makin' me reminisce
And I know it's wrong (I know it's wrong)
Me holding on (me holding on)
Thank you for being the one that I

[Chorus]
Still miss that old school love
Not quite that do right love
Your love was fine
Never old time
You're steady on my mind
Still miss that old school love
Not quite the right one love
I don't want you back
But I'll never ever love the same way again

Didn't ya tell me that ya never tell me lies
And didn't ya tell me that you'd never say goodbye
All of my heart
You tore it apart
Lord knows, your memory still remains
All that I know (all that I know)
Just can't let go (just can't let go)
Still miss that

[Chorus]

I don't want you back no no
I don't want you back
But I'll never ever love the same way again

IT IS JUST TOO FUNNY NOT TO!

Finally, someone sees that ratty Lindsay Lohan for what she really is: Blanch Devereaux from The Golden Girls reincarnated!!

PS: Hey Liv, you know what they say- "There's just more to love of you", then when you turn your back they say "What a freaking pie-scarfing hoss beast!"

Please note, I have suffered a great loss this week. Kindly take a moment of silence to remember the hard drive on my Sony Vaio laptop:
It lived a brief but fulfilling life- faithfully guided me through 2 years of law school without so much as a glitch, but finally, on Sunday at Coffee Gorilla in Brooklyn, met its final demise. I will always cherish the memories we shared, the notes I typed, the MS Paint portraits we created together of such greats as Justin D'Elia and That goofy Federal Income Tax Professor. Lets also not forget the many poems we composed late at night while feeling angry, happy, silly, or drunk. You will be missed dearly and your legacy will live on and thanks to the brilliance of the internet.

Oh, and as for that young fresh-faced hard drive that I will be receiving in 2-3 weeks as a result of your extended warranty (you always were so sensible and responsible in that way) He'll never be you, Baby- noone can take your place, I promise it won't be the same! Farewell my one and only, my very first, my laptop hard drive.

Talia's Song Pick-o-the week

Apart
By: The Cure

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call anymore
He waits to hear her say forgive
But she just drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say I love you
But he tells no more lies
He waits for her to sympathize
But she won't sympathize at all
She waits all night to feel his kiss
But always wakes alone
He waits to hear her say Forget
But she just hangs her head in pain
And prays to hear him say
No moreI'll never leave again

How did we get this far apart?
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart?
I thought this love would last forever

He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But we won't call
He waits to hear her say Forgive
But she just drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say I love you
But he tells no more lies

How did we get this far apart?
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart?
I thought this love would last forever

Talia's Song Pick-o-the week

THINKING ABOUT YOU
By Radiohead

Been thinking about you, your record's a hit
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no-one, and you're now a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself, and what do you care?
When the other men are far, far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes?
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know and why should you care?
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed?
But I'm playing with myself, and what do you care?
When I'm not there

All the things you've got
You'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I bleed to please you

I've been thinking about you

This is my new bedroom in Brooklyn. My mom and I painted it this weekend. This is also the first real bedroom set that I've purchased for myself. Yeah, those are bars on the windows, but fear not, this neighborhood is very quaint, with wine bars, trendy boutiques, TARGET, and latinos playing dominoes on the corner and cooking burgers on the sidewalk!

Look there's even a fireplace so I know for sure that I'm the first one that Santa sees when he arrives!!
