hey bromances i missed youuuuuuuuu.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5245313042/in/photostream/

airplane outfit. i bought this kate hudsonesque dress from f21 over the summer. i bought a lot of shit over the summer but then the dress moment passed and i never wore it. it was at the end of summer. a girl’s gotta have a dress ready to chuck in her suitcase. i rewarded myself with trips to f21 after the gym about once a month. figured i’d earned it.

my newest little buddy. one of those retardedly expensive cats that are a beautiful shocking splash of rouge. i don’t know how else to describe it. quite the talker too. acts as if it’s bloody murder to go four hours between eating. sort of lets me pick him up.

constant nola fat watch. i irritating. annoyed i missed my two motion room sessions. was so happy to go today and james surprised me with some super weird and intimate stretching. felt great. i said if he was my boyfriend i’d make him do that to me allll the time and he said if he was my boyfriend he wouldn’t do that (inferring that if yer a cook you won’t cook at home, if you massage for a living, no dice to your partner) but i’m like why because we’ll be doing other things? oh james, we can do this dance for weeks i’m not gonna break first hahaha.

sunday night after eating the french quarter and i was working on a serious binge solo. leslie lost the boozing mojo no problemo more for me. they have 3 for 1 drinks all day on sunday. people were ridiculously plastered i can’t wait to go through more of my photos and videos now that the virus of my laptop is gone. i went back to karaoke and trainwrecked through two songs. lesson learned, two songs that although i enjoy profusely, i just cannot sing. empire state of mind and gaga’s telephone. always go with your gut instinct and not the song that your friend wants to hear.

sorry this post is like you. retarded. just kidding we both know it’s just a slight learning disability. anyway, check out these fun things. my future ex-husband james let me have one. chose the lemon flavour.

dear me, you are captivating and dynamic. keep up the good work. love, me.

one great house after another after another it’s kinda heartbreaking and sickitating and jealousy-inducing.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5244728293/in/photostream/

this is my impression of being cross-eyed.

i got to stay in a shotgun house with a spiral staircase and a stained glass window.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5244728971/in/photostream/

almost bailed only just the once on this thing. it’s really narrow and twirly. picture me carrying my suitcase down super slow and statue-like.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5245331422/in/photostream/

leslie was like stop taking photos of yourslf, get the houses. this is the first i went after. i was only taking photos repeatedly of myself so i could text them back to the raymi man(fan)club back home and i couldn’t get one i was happy enough with.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5245331634/in/photostream/

cannot get over how luxurious and comfortable those beds are. it’s like sinking into a cloud. very much like a get-away spa/hotel. probably why we had an early night each night. a real vacation.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5244730131/in/photostream/

on our way to whole foods for supplies and i cleaned up my ghetto plane skid face but still totally tired and tired looking.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5244736689/in/photostream/

on plane in oblivious moron fog. i moved to my own row when the woman beside me made it clear enough she didn’t want me there once i was finished passive aggressively caging her in for a few moments of irritated panic. that’s my cue to leave once the announcer said now if you don’t like the person you are sitting next to then you can move back. peace lady.

me and jasper.

this is on canal. it’s by the sheraton, the legendary kicked our asses out hotel two years ago and fast food district where i had to grab leslie a hangover sprite (they don’t really do gingerale in the states) from a popeye’s or some hole like that. be careful if you bring a dog to new orleans and go out for an hour or two longer than a dog in a hotel room would appreciate. i’ll tell the story later.

back in the internet zone again these were just my blackberry photos.

john lennon perished twenty thirty years ago today. same date my grandpa died too, (though i was in grade 6) cosmic.

hey dad look at me now!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228073952/

today’s raymi activity features two willing participants ready to give my cooking skills a review. the tables have turned. tarek and april. batter’s up.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228077386/in/photostream/

taking their orders. now, april is a genuine BOOM expert and fan, she’s there all the time, is a mayor of the college street location i believe? so i was not going to get away with blowing this.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227479679/in/photostream/

James even popped in to give me some grief over missing today’s and monday’s sessions. that’s his job to make me feel guilt, well it works but no need after this weekend in the south and all that food and not working out, man, guilt big time.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227482475/in/photostream/

i dressed like my grade 3 teacher ms. smith she always wore painted on skirts weird tights and high boots all winter long.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228078792/in/photostream/

ok so here is my retarded order on a napkin, i forgot to ask tarek how he wanted his eggs. well i thought i did as he said well done which in eggs world means flip it over and over, almost fried? over hard is the technical term. woah relax there eggs. EGGZACTLY. you know what else is fried other than tarek’s eggs? my brain right now.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228079744/in/photostream/

but first their coffees. i said they must have americanos, not pot coffee here no way. tarek challenged me further by ordering a cappuccino. fine.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228082490/in/photostream/

i was a little intimated and nervous here but i got the swing of it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228085100/in/photostream/

it’s a lovely machine too if we had one in adventurehouse i’d be climbing the walls all day long drinking coffee non-stop. it’s so easy.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227491869/in/photostream/

tarek’s cappuccino. i did well. i pat myself on the back. no one else will.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228088556/in/photostream/

do you get to make a design? i asked jeffrey. um yeah sure he says. not really though you just pour the warm milk in then glob the foam high on top and sprinkle chocolate powder or cinnamon. ok what drinks do they make the design for you then? ahh who cares.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228091522/in/photostream/

see how fun i am to work with. pure bliss, joy even.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227496709/in/photostream/

oh no no, two huge saucers will not do for this tray i am about to walk over. so i got a tinier espresso one for april’s americano. (they’ll never know).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227497911/in/photostream/

and i’m off. i was a bit shaky. hadn’t eaten. winner.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227500175/in/photostream/

it was easier to carry than it was to place all that crap down on the table elegantly i wobbled like crazy and then was like you know what guys here and just slammed it all down one by one dramatically. breakfast and a show. took the cup independently off the tiny (inadequate) saucer (who’s idiotic idea was that anyway jeffrey!? ha mine.) while april and tarek just howled with laughter and off i marched back to make their food.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228096494/in/photostream/

right after i went back to retrieve their menus. server faux paus. two strikes now hahaha.

THREESOME 9.69

fresh fruit garnish

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227505279/in/photostream/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5227508887/in/photostream/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5228135690/in/photostream/

why the hell would i want another piece of lettuce on my sandwich? zero nutritional value and it gets in the way. dan agreed, about as healthy as sawdust.

the title of my post is something i said over the mic to these chicks at karaoke once. leslie loves it i can hardly take watching myself wasted rap blathering at the fox n fiddle (that hole) we’re going tomorrow to another place with her friend. she sent the video of me singing so what’cha want over to let her know what’s in store.

we went to a sex club last nite that is essentially a shit stripper hole. i gave away a lot of money because the sight of the cheap bar flies pissed me off a lot and sometimes i like to pretend i am daddy warbucks. there was a young pregnant chain smoking stripper too. almost got a great cell phone photo of some of the evidence.

ok sunshine time.

oh and my laptop has a virus again. thanks anonymouse.org you piece of shit. send help.

hey guys. hey hi! HI!!!!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5223726235/in/photostream/

sometimes you run out of blogging steam. the energy required to conjure the properly adequate commentary about the mundane everyday doesn’t just grow on a magic bush in my backyard. yarn spinning IS work. ten years of yarn spinning work, audience building. i came across a loser messageboard yesterday wherein a few wenches were slagging your hero and the overwhelming conclusion i came away with was, they just do not “get” it. people who come across you only now think you just woke up yesterday and started landing deals, and it’s sooo easy. well, it isn’t.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5224324064/in/photostream/

all of a sudden now people think they’re experts on cewebrity because there’s more of us popping up. you aren’t an expert on shit actually.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5223726903/in/photostream/

i just lost the energy and focus on my own rant here, it isn’t constructive anyway. i’m arguing with babies essentially who can’t seem to recognize that i struggle just like they do, that none of this is a fluke, and i set out to do this when i was 17 years old for bloody crying out loud so really, you’re just complaining about a seventeen year old’s wild fantasies that eventually came true for her, after years of suffering abuse from assholes and haters and people calling you crazy for having the audacity to do something different.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5224994656/in/photostream/

and then there’s the word trainwreck. i’ve been called a trainwreck since i was nineteen. you know, when a trainwreck happens it takes maybe a week to clean it up once forensics is done with the scene. but really now, if i am such a trainwreck how am i able to function on a daily basis? how am i able to write, to work, to go to my appointments and meetings, make deals, party, all that? you guys are shitstains. i put myself together more than you do everyday knowing i will be photographed (whether by self or others) all for the sake of my blog, my art, my business. if i don’t do it nobody will. do you get that? a trainwreck wouldn’t be able to do that, WOULDN’T do that. a trainwreck would be blow hung for days on end while OTHER people are out there achieving.

it’s just tiresome and disgusting to me the nature of this city (and the internet at large) that the thanks you get for all your hard work is FUCK YOU and KILL YOURSELF. numerous other hurtful things. they don’t even hurt anymore which in and of itself is kinda bad. to be desensitized like that. the bigger you are the less you are supposed to acknowledge these losers but i wasn’t born famous and still consider myself a regular guy so i’m just fascinated by how ignorant our culture is and bored.

we played the insult game using the alphabet taking turns. i started. darius, you are an asshole. raymi, you’re a bitch. yeah well you’re a CUNT. some of these words we had to whisper as they were too prejudice and no i am not typing them here on my politically correct blog.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5226651342/in/photostream/

we played the game again but this time complimenting one another and rob joined in. it was harder to dole out compliments. insults are so much easier. people don’t compliment each other enough.

mitzi’s is getting a time out from me. i am tired of the disgruntled RUDE middle-aged lesbian server’s attitudes. i’ve dumped half my bank account into that fucking place you think she could smarten the fuck up i mean, DO YOU KNOW I AAAAAAAAM?! hahah. legendary establishment employees, everyone talks about you just as much as you them, don’t think you’re invisible.

got my roots did yesterday after my session at TMR (abs are so sore) the show must go on even when you’re sick. i had ethiopian food two nites ago and the heat made me think i was cured. it loosened up a lot of phlegm and now i have this painful chest cough and my throat feels as thick as a tree trunk.

this reminds me of a photograph my new york city ex boyfriend would have sent me of himself in a bar when i was 18 (he was 29) to lure me away after high school and it worked. WE ARE LIVING THE LIFE COME JOIN US. hair was curled then i biked and some of the curls came undone. just as well as i didn’t want to deal with a curly hair sprayed rat’s nest today as i’m going to be ON CAMERA for my next publicity stunt. it is in your best interest to be at BOOM‘s 174 eglinton ave west location today at 1pm if you want to see me have a TRAINWRECK MELTDOWN in the kitchen. i refuse to wear a hairnet. i might wear the dorky baseball hat though and an apron. i love uniforms.

i know a lot of people who went away or are going away somewhere warm and tropical, all-inclusive, wherever and i’d be lying if i said i didn’t want to disembowel them. i have seasonal affective disorder and i feel bound to this getting dark way too early city. true, i lead a charmed life, i get a few days off between 4 things scheduled in a day here and there, i was meant to be a waste of space sloth. my life/job is unconventional and i work very hard to make it appear to be very easy. being a socialite is tiring, partying is a job, and people give you shit about it. also there is a part of you that is hoping you might find THE ONE at one of these events (you never do) so that’s another motivator to keep going. the point is, i have earned a break i feel so, i’m going away tomorrow to new orleans. my summer trip that i was very much looking forward to was canceled and then i filed it into the postponed drawer and then i got very busy. i’m only going for the weekend. i can’t even believe it. i am stressed and feel part crazy but so what that’s how it goes right? my friend is there now and she’s bored. hurricane season ended two days ago. so i have a lot of last minute preparations to sort out, i have to pack, and not overpack for once and i need to vacuum my purse of all ganj remnants and apparently they can fully violate you at security now. wicked.

this is where i will be tomorrow the french quarter!
