Advertise

I saw an ad on TV the other day while at the gym. It was for Tyson chicken nuggets. It kept showing kids not eating their dinner, until the one kid was served the Tyson nuggets, and was so happy. Briefly shown on the screen at the very end of the commercial was a comment that they are made "Now with 100% Natural Ingredients". My first thought was "ughh, what were you serving last month???"

I also saw a website banner ad for a free cell phone with AT&T Wireless service. It looked like a crappy old phone, but came with a free hands-free headset. The little text at the bottom of the ad said "significant restrictions apply". Significant! At least they're being honest.

I don't think this guy is advertising anything, except maybe that he shaves his pubes, but I'd overlook the fine print for him!

Ickky

Yoplait was on sale at the grocery store, so it was fairly well picked-over when I got there. I was choosing a few flavors to buy, and was rather limited. I picked up a Light Thick and Creamy Cinnamon Roll cup, and added it to my cherry and mixed berry.

I have just opened that one, and am currently attempting to eat it. It is rather gross. I have mixed it with some FiberOne cereal, so it's not as gag-inducing as it is on its own. Imagine Pepsi-flavored petroleum jelly, and that's close to what came oozing out of the container. I am reminded of the Onion video pretending to show Dominos Pizza scientists experimenting on how gross a food product people would be willing to eat.

My advice is, skip the Light Thick & Creamy line, especially the 'cinnamon roll'!

Another Brazilian Birthday Party

Saturday there was another birthday party. Nauber asked if I wanted to go. I pointed out that I end up sitting there surrounded by Portuguese-speaking, and can't follow the conversations, so don't join in. Then everyone asks why I am so quiet. However, I did want to spend the evening with him, so I did go. A couple people attempted speaking English, and one lady got very excited when I said "boa noite" (good night) to her.

The birthday boy was Wanderson. He is the boyfriend of Odalia, one of the girls that Nauber works with. And he is really cute. Picture in your mind Mario Lopez with more of a skinny-muscular build and really smiling eyes.



They had a lot of the usual bite-size fried Brazilian foods that you see at all the parties, plus a ton of chocolates, strawberries and a chocolate fountain, and the typical cake (white cake with pineapple and strawberries with various types of cream - whipped, soaked, and custardy filling). A new one was a chicken cake. Seasoned shredded chicken layered with mashed potatoes and white bread, frosted with a mayonnaise based mixture, decorated with olives, potato sticks, and piped 'frosting' of that mayonnaise thing mixed with mustard. The chocolates included the usual coconut/condensed milk mixture, only these had a grape in the middle. Odd texture combination, and the flavors are a little weird together.

As is also typical, about 10, 10:30pm a couple showed up with their 4 year old and 11 month old. I saw the 11 month old at a party a couple months ago, and she already had pierced ears. Who pierces a 6-month old's ears?

Also about that time, a short cute guy showed up. I soon realized it the hottie from the gym that I have ogled for ages, spoke to once (a long time ago), and have referred to as Brazilian Porn Star. He was there with a tall fat chick, who was very white and blonde, but spoke Portuguese, and he introduced as his wife. I'm not sure if he figured out I was there 'with' Nauber, but anyone would have confirmed it if he had asked. His name is apparently Alex, and the braces are now gone. Wifey was scarfing down the chocolates (after a huge piece of cake), and trying to get him to have one, but he kept turning it down. Abs that cut glass come at a cost, you know. He didn't seem to interact with her well. I wonder if the fugly chick from the gym ended things before he could get resident status, so had to find another... (I know, how mean!) He did say he goes to the gym early now, about 6am. He also mentioned he does not go with the wife. You think it was a hint-hint??

Spring

I actually had the top down today! First for 2009! Winter is over!
It was actually a tad cool to be driving topless, but the sun was out, and it was just too nice to pass up the chance. I still had a jacket on, but had the sun shining in my face!

Time to start getting ready for the summer beach season. It would take a lot of work, on the part of a team of expensive specialists, to make me look like this. But a girl can dream...

Pretend to be Surprised

I must admit, I knew this one was Brazilian the second I saw his face, but the original thumbnail I saw did not include the entire background. When I opened the full pic, I saw the logo in the corner. I had to keep this one, just because it was so clearly obvious (which is what "claro" means, the name I gave the file).

More Epic

I should post a little bit about last weekend's trip to the Roxy. Mykael was going with his friend Mike (who puked the last time I was out with him, so he's not my favorite person). Mykael finds Mike a little trying sometimes, as well, so wanted Nauber and I to come. We also brought Ronny. I invited Luther (who bailed at the last minute), and Nish. Mykael had apparently already been in contact with Nish, and he was planning to come with Manny, but the birthday party for Prema raged on into the night, so they didn't make it. I invited Jean, as well - Dennison's roomie. He said he was tired, so couldn't make it, but mentioned Narrin would be there.

Mike was already at Club Cafe, so Mykael, Nauber, Ronny, and I (who all rode in together) stopped there first. Bumped into Mateus, who was SO happy to see me again. I'm guessing he was high. A little TOO enthusiastic.

Saw Dennison and Narrin at Epic, so said hello. I mentioned I hadn't heard from Narrin in ages, he said it had been a complicated time. Then they proceeded to avoid me the rest of the night. Bumped into Diego, who was also really happy to see me, though he didn't seem high.

The new go-go boy looked JUST like Mateus, except for the big tribal tattoo across Mateus' shoulder. They had Lady Bunny stop by to perform, as well as a guest DJ from NYC. He kinda sucked. Young, shirtless, full of himself. He also committed my personal DJ-sin pet peeve; playing songs with extended breaks in the middle. I don't want to stand around 'anticipating' music, I want to keep going.

We also bumped into Brazilian-hottie Michael. Apparently he did not decide to go straight. He kept rubbing up against me every time he walked past. At one point he joined in dancing with Ronny, Nauber, and me. He then proceeded to grab my ass. And not like "Hey nice ass" - more like "I want to fuck you hard". Ronny was kind enough to jump in and explain to him (in Portuguese, so it was easier) that -uh- that guy next to me was my boyfriend, so please stop. Ronny also informed me that his name isn't really Michael. I wasn't surprised at all. But he remembers that is the name he gave, so it all works out.

We left at 2am. Mykael said he could really go for some fries. Then changed that to onion rings. Ronny said he just wanted to go home because he had to be up at 5 for work. Mykael kind of reprimanded him for going out. I pointed he works at a coffee shop, so should be OK. He's been declining invites because he's working all the time, so I think he just wanted to go out again. Can't blame him for that.
