From Reuters: "Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was feted by Russian media on Sunday for saving a television crew from an attack by a Siberian tiger in the wilds of the Far East."
Seriously.
In other news, I need to fete Siamkittie for saving me from drunken disaster in the wilds of the Hustler Club. I had a fun time, but, you know, shit happens on...

it was great seeing you, too! next time, i'm leaving out the dud.
I'm asking for a raise tomorrow. Because I really deserve it. Wish me luck.
In other news, I found out one of my students, who works in fashion, has one of my favorite stores as his client. And he offered to get me samples. Bonus!

yeah my boss is kinda a whore. I'm not surprised about it. Every Thursday is vampire night at my job. (lmao) and He decided he was going to have his dick sucked by one of them. She forgot to take out her "vampy teeth" and she ended up biting his dick. He's that guy. A dirty, lying, slut man.
The man who died on the tracks brought out the candor in the other subway riders that night. One woman admitted that she worried a friend of hers would kill herself. She said she couldn't understand wanting to commit suicide. I told her I could understand, that I'd even made a few halfhearted attempts. "But you're so pretty." she said. But having some people think...

I'm with kentclark: I was reminded of your previous post, too.
But having some people think you're attractive, having them want to look at you, having them want to touch you, does not mean they like you. It doesn't mean you lead a worthwhile life.
This is so true. Some of the unhappiest women I've known have been the most physically beautiful. Many people don't understand depression, much less suicidal impulses. It's human nature to try to find external reasons for them, it's just sad that the real reasons aren't so easy to explain.
I'm so excited about next week. I want to see your burlesque outfit! I hope we have a chance to get out and have some fun.

Thanks!!! For the congrats, and for your lack of colorblindness. 
I just smile when people say things like "But, you're beautiful" or "But, you're so smart" in response to things like "I'm lonely" or "I'm really sad" as if you're immune to B because of A. I smile a lot.
Love you.

Sometimes my job is quite delightful. There are moments of personal understanding in spite of significant language barriers. Today, for example, one student told me how he loves people-watching, imagining the lives of the people he sees and wondering what those people would imagine about him. I taught him the word "reciprocal."

I can't imagine that it hasn't been studied ... there do seem to be books out there about people watching generally so to not look at cross cultural differences would seem silly ... or something.

Thanks =]
Your blog was very much like a poem. Very cool.

Thank you, Duane Reade, for carrying Hanes Sporty Bikini Briefs. Because some mornings, a girl just can't find her underwear.

Scientists have constructed a genetic map of Europe. I don't want to undermine that achievement, because it's great. But what about the rest of the world, motherfuckers?
I guess I'm particularly pissy because, for some reason the article doesn't explain, these scientists decided to leave out Sicily. My dad is Siclian, which makes me half Sicilian, so I noticed the oversight as soon as...

Well, it could've been worse; forty years ago, they would've just mapped twenty chinless land-owning families in Hertfordshire and thought that was enough.
This map looks like they drew the line wherever they found spicy food--the Harissa Curtain!

It's really weird and awkward for me to hear that someone thinks I'm pretty. Smart? Yes. Funny? Sure. Pretty? I never felt pretty. I worked on being smart and funny to make up for not feeling pretty. Anyone else know what I'm saying?
I'm not fishing for compliments with this post, by the way. Compliments are great, and I can accept them graciously, but they...

Yes ma'am. All the best girls think like that, in my book.
I just wish they all realized how much prettier they are when all of those other wonderful qualities are factored in.

Today two of my students-- adult, non-native speakers to whom I teach English-- asked very important questions.
Me: Now that we've finished this page, do you have any questions?
Student A: Yes. How do cats make babies?

Me: The difference between the conditional and the future is ---
Student B: Are you single?
Who wants to be me for a day? I'll consider all...

People who don't dance are seriously unfun. As are people who care more about material objects than other human beings.
When and how did the people around me get their priorities so screwed up?

Not dancing in NY is status symbol for music snobs trying to be to cool for school. If you go to a show to hear music, and it's the right type of music, you should dance your ass off.
ferretbite:
Yeah I don't dance. But us unfun people don't really care what your funny tribe thinks either so it's cool. 
SGNY: supporting public nudity like it never went out of style.
Wait... did it ever go out of style?
Also, pictures please!

Lola's karaoke hits:
The Shirelles, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"
Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"
The Doors, "Back Door Man"
I retired "I Touch Myself," since most of my friends have seen it a million times.
It was much fun to see some people from school whom I haven't seen in a while. They've got all sorts of crazy life shit going on: changing...

Hmmm... I usually go with "Come As You Are", "Come Together", "Come on Eileen", and "Cum On Feel the Noize"...

When I karaoke, (which is once in a blue moon) I usually stick to duets or group songs. My last 4 karaoke songs were:
The Spice Girls - Wannabe (complete with 4 other chicks)
Rick James - Give It To Me Baby (That shit should've been taped - it was karaoke GOLD!)
Nine Inch Nails - Closer (D-to-tha-R-to-tha-U-N-K)
Sir Mix A-Lot - Baby Got Back (I was the dancer who was little in the middle, but had much back)
I may need some karaoke soon!
I miss you.
