Since Aileen arrived in NYC on Wednesday afternoon, I think I have consumed roughly 5,348,921,678,264.13 calories. I think we can best chronicle her stay as a menu.

-grande hot chocolate/latte/mocha disaster from 30 Rock basement Starbucks

-Stella Artois (many!) at Bowery Ballroom

Also in my future...

-diet pills

-stomach stapling

-diabetes and/or bulemia

-gym membership

With all this eating, I'm really not sure how we found time to...

-watch the T's tape "1-2-3-4" on Conan from the green room

-get black-out drunk at the Bowery Ballroom (Thomas took my blackberry and saw the email in which I called him 'totally hot'? File this under: Things I Don't Remember)

-watch the T's perform "1-2-3-4" on Conan on the DVR

-miss the Macy's Parade by going from the East Village to Upper West Side via 125th Street

-pose for photos in front of real life Warhol's in Perry's dad's friend's apartment

-stroll through Central Park

-nap on the couch while attempting to watch the snooze-fest that was the Lions/Titans game

-go to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Annex in SoHo (Go to this! Especially if you like The Clash!)

-see Twilight again (yes, for a third time)

-spend way too much money at American Apparel and Urban Outfitters

-watch countless NSYNC and Veronica's videos on youtube

-cheer on the Ravens to victory over the Bengals

-...and the Broncos to victory over the Jets

-...and attempt to cheer for the Lakers in their victory over the Raptors but failing to find a bar that could/would actually televise it

I wonder why I am so exhausted after a 4 1/2 day long stay-cation.

I need a vacation from my vacation.
