So Cranky

Happy "Annoy Jen Day"!

I am such a crab today. I don't know if watching American Idol last night put me in a bad mood or if it is just hormones. I was so embarassed for the guy who sang, "I Just Can't Wait To Be King." I was so happy for the girl from Ontario, California who was overweight, but the judges saw through that and sent her through to Hollywood. I hope she makes it to the top twelve. She was great, even though the show will rig it so that a white male wins this year. Simon was hot last night, too. He gave several folks the Simon Cowell "wink." Too cute! I have always said that if I ever marry, it will be to a pilot or an Englishman, preferably an English pilot. How cool would that be?

I suppose it is better to be a crab than to have crabs.

You know how certain smells remind you of certain times or events in your life? One of my co-workers always sprays Bath & Body Works cucumber melon every time she farts, so I cannot smell cucumber melon anything without it smelling like fart.

I just rubbed pearberry anti-bacterial gel on my hands. That smell reminds me of one particular spring when I worked at Express.

Every time I walk by a the dumpster of a certain pizza place in the Central West End, I am reminded of New York. Now, I am not saying that New York City smells like garbage, not at all. It smells more like a pizza place. It is a happy smell.

The smell of Jenate' and the men's cologne, Joop reminds me of Europe. Europeans just have this "odor." It is not a bad odor, either. I am taken back to the first time I ever stepped off of a plane in Frankfurt, Germany, whenever I smell Joop.

San Francisco has a "fresh air" smell to it. To me Los Angeles has a "neutral" smell. Yucalyptus reminds me of L.A. My friend had a ton of Yucalyptus trees outside her apartment complex. I remember one day I was like, "why does it always smell like Vicks Vapo Rub around here?" My sinuses were alway clear.
