Monica is…going to find orange cones.

blog-014Anybody who lives in an apartment knows the humbling pains of finding parking. On busy nights, the Asian church around the corner crowds the streets with cars, bumper to bumper. (lexus & hondas!) I circle the street a few times, give up & have to block the driveway. So with that being said, I wish I was as bold as the woman who guards this almighty parking spot. Everytime I come home from work without fail at about 6:48/6:50ish, I see her remove the cones & park. Isn’t this illegal? Quite frankly, I’m surprised a crackhead hasn’t taken these for bartering. Pretty ingenious, right?

Monica is…feeling a lot better.

poop

I was having a rough few days. Life was kicking my ass. I was blank & felt like poo. Well…I was actually recovering from seeing Lindsay Lohan on ANOTHER cover of a magazine. Seriously, how the hell is she still getting covers? I swear to God, she is always on a magazine cover, promoting what? I was excited to see my NYLON magazine only to dry heave in disgust. GAAAH! She was on the 10th anniversary edition. What a load of shit…Why could they have put Helena Christensen, who even at 40 is 800 times hotter & more relevant than skin & bones Lohan. I gots no love for this dumb girl anymore…she’s on the x-communicated list now with Rihanna. Celebrity letdowns.

Monica is…happily taking vitamins.

blog-012

My co-worker told me about these the other day after I shared my hatred for taking vitamins. Vitamins smell awful & they are the size of horse pills, but she urged me to seek them out. She was right. These delicious little gummy fruit  shapes make it a pleasure to maintain good health. They are oddly void of the terrible odor & it makes me wonder how they masked the smell. Anywho…get em at your local Target next to the stink pills from Centrum.

Monica is…trying to eat recession friendly.

grilled chicken

When you live around here, markets have the shittiest variety of veggies & poor meat. I have a Food4Less across the street & I never go there. (Food4Less is a market in LA that sucks ass, medicine, baby formula, & liquor are in cages) It’s pretty horrible & if your in there chances are the person paying right in front has a 400z beer, reeks of cigarettes & talking to themselves. I hate dealing with this shit, so I often drive pretty far to find yummy things to make for dinner. Sadly there is no fresh farmers market here. Although sometimes, I don’t have the energy to sit in traffic & I find myself snagging goods in the most unlikely places. Tonight’s dinner was pretty much supplied from the 99cent store & a small yet efficient min-market by my house. Yep, those pretty asparagus & fresh zucchini, a deal at just a buck each.  Grilled chicken, soft jasmine rice, oven roasted veggies topped with parmesan cheese. So you see kids, there’s lots of cheap, healthy things to eat around here, if you look hard enough.

Monica is…sick of dancing with the stars coverage.

dancing-with-the-stars

I’m not really sure why or how this even happened but apparently America likes watching crap. I admit I watch stuff like Rock of Love or Charm School, only because it doesn’t go around masking itself as a “real show”. It’s trashy & lame, but you go in knowing this as you start to have feelings for these skanky chicks (which is why Daisy from Rock of Love is now getting a show). Now this Dancing with the Stars crap, why people? Why? It’s a “serious” thing with all of these “injuries”. (when this show first started, you hardly heard about stars getting hurt) It has an insane amount of ratings, celebrity c-listers at best, & the dancing is really fucking horrible. I watched this once trying to see what all the fuss was about, & was terribly dissapointed. Some of these celebrities butcher half of these traditional dances, which when done professionally looks amazing like the Rumba & the Tango, instead you get visual nausea from all of the legs & arms flailing & cheesy comentary from these half-wit judges. Is there no real news out there? I’m really tired of waking up to news, that Belinda Carlisle has been sent home. Who cares! When will reality shows be banned to cable? I think you should be forced to pay for the awful things you watch. I know I do, & I’m okay with that.
