Best Of: HTJL Year 2 -- Staci's Favorites
In honor of our second anniversary this week, I'm rounding up my favorite posts from Year 2, ICYMI. Typically, if it's a favorite of mine, it means I find it (myself) funny and/or you find it disastrous enough that we got a lot of hits. Damn I love me some analytics.
Here are my favs in no particular order:
RIP Drunk brunch at the Sunburnt Calf.
STACI'S SOAPBOX: #TBT REAL BOYFRIENDS OF NEW YORK
June 11, 2015
A recap of my lovelife shitshow in NYC. Spoiler alert: None of the "real boyfriends" are boyfriends at all, but I do have some good stories like the time I dunked a Halloween cat tail in a Brooklyn toilet and the time I got sunburned on half my face.
I also really like this one because Jen made a gif of me rolling my eyes.
WOOF.
ALL OVER: WORST OF
July 21, 2015
OK seriously though, what's the point of having your own blog if you don't get to be snarky and salty on it sometimes? Truth be told, I think I'm at my best when I'm discussing the worst...you know, like Sochi and Dundalk. I really enjoyed trashing shitty places, some of which I've never even been to because snap judgments are what's up.
AND I will never not LOL loudly at Bob Costas's Sochi eye.
Bon appetit!
EN ROUTE: FLYING THE NOT-SO-FRIENDLY SKIES
October 27, 2015
Really, who can forget the time Jen and I were served onion sandwiches aboard United Airlines? This one is a true classic in my book. Right down to the angriest flight attendant I've ever seen and the cops that came on board in New Jersey because a lady put her feet on the tray table.
I shit you not. Our most absurd flight home to date.
I doubt that reclining your seat half an inch makes you THAT much more comfortable, sir.
ALL OVER: WHAT NOT TO DO ON GROUP TRIPS
November 3, 2015
"4. Shut the fuck up unless you're the driver. And if you're Uncle Jamie, you can shut the fuck up too."
I'm a ray of sunshine sometimes, aren't I? A real treat. Headline is self-explanatory. How not to be a dick when you're on a travel excursion with a group of strangers. Especially when said group of strangers includes me and Jen.
"Cash...kish?"
LISBON: LEARNING PORTUGUESE WITH JEN!
December 7, 2015
Second only to the anniversary videos are the "Learning Languages" videos, in my opinion. If you're not familiar with these, basically Jen and I get drunk and try to speak the language of the country we are visiting. Or we start using accents for no real reason. Jen does a great cockney.
She cannot, however, remember how to say "caipirinha" (even though we drank quite a few of those in Lisbon).
YOU'RE ALL THE WORST.
ALL OVER: WORST OF, PART 2
February 9, 2016
Any day I get to shit on Florida, Donald Trump, AND Washington, D.C. in one post is a good day. It's true I want to travel the whole world. Except the places listed in "Worst Of" and this one, "Worst Of, Part 2."
And ugggggh, LaGuardia.
The face of a pirate?
MEXICO: "THIS SEMI-CONCERNING E-MAIL..."
May 3, 2016
This is a fairly recent one, but annotating ridiculous e-mails is oddly satisfying to me. Happily Jen was not abducted by Mexican pirates, nor was she brainwashed by bigots who love Comic Sans and probably Donald Trump.
Plus the promo video is so, so good.
So tell me, what were your favorites this past year?
Yours in lolz,
-Staci
