humans are funny

    I randomly threw up in my mouth TWICE yesterday. Hmpf.

  • DFS #3

    I’m writing this post from the Apple store. That’s right. I’m waiting for the ‘geniuses’ here to fix my computer because it seems as though it’s ruined. What’s ruined, you ask. Not the 2000- dollar computer (aka livelihood) you haven’t yet paid for that is holding every single thing you’ve written since October without back-ups? Yes, I reply. That computer. In my haste to catch the bachelorette women talking shit about each other’s extensions (my guilty pleasure from abc.com since I don’t have a TV), I spilled an entire glass of cabernet right onto the keyboard. The worst part is I was in bed. The worser part is I wasn’t drinking wine. It was an old crusty glass from nights ago that my dirty ass had not yet taken down to the sink. Lesson learned. Brand new computer now barely hanging on, fighting perilously in the arms of a ‘genius’, who I could swear was just scratching his balls from inside his pocket.

    Therefore, on this day of sharing, I leave you with this. No one else I know seems to like this little guy, but I pretty much want to marry him. When he’s older, I mean. But I guess that’s not saying much because I feel like marrying anyone right now. Just so my husband would be sitting here at the Apple store while I whined in bed about how unfair life is. Man, I am going to be an amazing wife. Any takers?

  • Aw shit

    This advertising gig is interfering with my newly invented Wednesday DFS. I’m stuck in a cubicle revising revisions. Help!

  • Another New Thing!


    Fridays are now mini Thanksgivings.

    I’ve always heard that the key to happiness is ‘wanting what you already have.’
    And now that I am noticing all the little things that I didn’t have in 2009 (like plates or orderly traffic or clear drinking water), I absolutely agree.

    Inspired by my friend Leah and this new friend Christina, I decided to make a list every Friday. Please add your own comments. And by the end of the year, we’ll have a big old list of things that make us happy. I’ll make a downloadable poster of our big fat list, and you can hang it up to remind yourself every day that life is good. In my pre-travel life, this shit would have made me gag. But now I realize what happiness is. It’s:

    peanut butter
    freshly laundered sheets (still warm from the dryer)
    mail from my mom
    old T-shirts
    cuddling
    squirrels who think that if they stand really still you won’t see them
    warm rain
    old people who bathe together (sorry. it was a photo series, and I couldn’t leave this last one out)

    Until next Friday…

  • New Thing!


    From now on, Wednesday is DFS (Day For Sharing).
    (we’re gonna pretend it’s Wednesday due to the fact that I worked non-stop til midnight on Wednesday and it’s as if the day never happened)
    I sometimes find things that are cool and would like to share. Sharing is caring. And I care a lot.
    I met an old man yesterday who swears that homosexuality is linked to diet soda. They both became pretty popular at the same time. Since I couldn’t find any links to support his theory, I am sharing these sites I love:
    Postcards From Yo Momma. I found this one because my mom is a great texter. When my nephew, Cole, was born. She sent ‘coleborn’ since she couldn’t find the space. I had no idea what the hell she meant. So I decided to start a blog called ‘Texts from your Mom.’ Turns out these bitches already did. Jerks.
    Finally an easy way to learn Spanish:


    You might end up with an Argentinian accent, but that’s the sexiest one anyway. Trust me. It is.
    (you can buy a set for much less than Rosetta Stone here)
    My friend Carrie discovered this radical journal project: here
    Dallas Clayton’s poems are pretty awesome. Here’s one:

    I’ve been called an adult this week

    by multiple sources.

    I am not sure how to take this

    but rest assured

    an investigation is in order.
    He also has an awesome book to match. It must be awesome since that’s the title (Thanks to BS for sending me the book. I love it! If I had a coffee table, it would go right in its center.)


    Please note: I searched ‘sharing’ and all these old people in baths came up. I went with it.
    Happy Wednesday-but-really-Thursday!
