a wonderful day in the neighborhood. well, not my neighborhood....XD.

     heya! so.....currently i am on vacation, doing nothing, like i always do on vacation. something might have gotten done, maybe, but i couldn't fall asleep until 7am this morning, so i slept in til 3, which kinda destroyed my day. BUT, then we went to this marvelous restaurant that had this bass with a crazy diamond print all over it and i ate quiche. which was fun. but that is not the point. the point is, at this restaurant, my dad ordered an omelette. a three egg omelette. and when the food came, he was like, "this is a three egg omlette??!?! wow. that's really small. must have been a tiny chicken. o, wait...i ordered egg beaters instead of real eggs. maybe that's why..." and i was all, "ha! a faux egg omelette!" and he was all, "no shayna. three eggs. not four." and i was like, "what are you talking about..." and he said, "you said fo' eggs. trying to be all ghetto..." and i was like, "NO! FAUX!" and he was all, "SHAYNA, three eggs!!!!! NOT FOUR!"
     it was kinda amazing.i mean, i'm sure it's not funny to you, but it was quite hilarious at the time. and for an hour afterwards. :]

     and the second wonderful thing about today was this book i bought. so, as i have told you, i am a grammar nazi of the worst kind. and today my parents and i stopped in this bookstore that we saw on the side of the road. there i found this book that will shortly become my favorite, i'm sure. once i read it. hehehe. it is called eats, shoots & leaves. it is all grammar-y and panda-y and has punctuation stickers. i think i am in love...here. i will copy what is on the back:

"A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots into the air.
'Why?' asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
'I'm a panda,' he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'"

     is that not epic? i cannot wait. :D
     but, anyway, i am currently watching my cousin vinny. which is a movie everyone should watch. most def. so here...quote and song and then i'm out....


****Quote: Mona Lisa Vito: "Imagine you're a deer.
     You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a
     little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the
      cool, clear water - BAM! A fuckin' bullet rips off
     part of your head. Your brains are lying on the
     ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would
     you give a fuck what kind of pants the son-of-a-bitch
     who shot you was wearing?"-My Cousin Vinny
