I've been a little bit obsessed with this song lately. It's just a thing that happens when a song is so good.

Newt Gingrich is a [HORRIBLE] Joke

Why does no one else seem to realize this?

At least Sarah Palin loves nature, amiright?

Maybe I should consider a lifestyle change and become a politician... I can't be any more ridiculous than anyone else.

Being sick for two weeks has led me to (falsely) believe that watching Food Network/reading about Food made on Food Network is productive. But seriously, I am so excited about this Food Network Chocolate magazine I just bought for the airplane. Who doesn't want Bobby Flay, Anne Burrell, and Paula Deen to share dessert secrets with them?

Here's to hoping the Ear Nose Throat doc can tell me what's up. Here's to hoping I'm ready for Cali in a week.

hold on

people are always trying to figure out why the sky is blue, why the ocean is blue, which was blue first, etc. well friends, apparently my books has got it all figured out.

"The sky is blue because more of the blue light than the red light from the sun is scattered toward the earth."

i guess that settles it, then....although the diagram they provide is actually an apple, not the sky or the sun, so maybe it's still a little questionable.

The music in here keeps alternating between really great mo-town and some really terrible funk-jam band fusion. stick with the first, please.

Also, a kid just sat down next to me with an entire pizza for breakfast. I love him already.

I just can't stop watch pregnant Beyoncé dance. Judge me.

Oh PS

Perfume + Beirut + Bijou Theater = Magic.

Here is the Thing

I just need it to be summertime again. Today was so nice, and I just am not ready for cold weather.

That's all.

Sourness Makes It Right

Today I lost my very favorite jacket downtown, and that homeless woman I hate is probably wearing it.

And then I came home and my dog put a hole in my new tights.

Awesome.

Harsh

Dear Winter,

Please go away; no one wants you.

On a non related note, if you have ever referred to Modern art as Contemporary art, or if you have ever referred to anything which is not Modern or Contemporary art as either, I have judged you. Harshly. And I am probably still judging you now. That might sound rude, but it is just a fact.

Sincerely,

This Girl.

Are you ever working on something pseudo important when you realize suddenly that you have something so much more important to be working on? Usually, this urgency occurs while doing something like homework, sending a close friend or family member a long over due email, filling out applications, etc. Each of these activities is extremely important. Not as important, however, as that other thing you never even knew you were neglecting until right now. That infamous "other thing" tends to be something along the lines of trimming your bangs,perfectly organizing and aligning the trinkets on your shelf, coloring in that scuff on your shoes with a Sharpie, and so on and so on. Now I can hear you all making that sigh of recognition. "Yes!" you are saying right now; "I know that thing! In fact....I should be doing that right now." For those of you who decided you could wait to finish that thing until the end of this post- congratulations. Today that thing occurred while working on my American Heritage homework. I was reading about Ronald Reagan's foreign policy when I noticed the Sonic cup next to me. "Wait a second" my subconscious said. "That sonic logo must be outlined by your pen (and only your pen) right. now." "I'm busy" I said to my subconscious. "I will get to that later. First, I need to graduate from college." This was a mistake, because then something inside me seemed to say "Graduate college?! No one will ever graduate college again if you do not do this one most important thing in the world [outlining the Sonic logo]." And that's when I realized, in that moment, it was true. I had no other option but to outline line not only the logo, but the tiny bubbles floating up the cup above it.

It Also Says!

This song was just used in a Target ad. Well done, Target.

So the squirrels that live outside my bathroom window have been gettin cray-zy lately, and this morning, one almost jumped on me. No Joke.

Also, if I hear the words "Fiscal Year" one more time, I'ma explode something.

Right now they are doing some major construction outside of my office building. Everytime they hammer a support into the ground (which is about precisely every second), my building shakes a little bit. I know I am not imagining this because I can see it in my water bottle.... Now all I have to do is wait for Jeff Goldbloom to show up.

Fact:

There is such a thing as too much pop lock and dropping it...but the good news is, my thighs have now made a full recovery.

Confession:

I love it when people I don't know follow my blog. Thanks guys.

(and for those of you who I DO know, I love it when you follow my blog too).
