Seriously you guys...
I sit over here waiting with baited breath for the performance by the next male star that leaves him mostly nude, dripping wet and dangling above the audience. I mean…for real?
Pink
I cannot understand a word she’s saying. I like that she got a huge applause when she disrobed. Nice.
Who????
Lady Antebellum? Is that a country group?
Ok
I put on the Grammys. Beyonce is singing Alanis? Is this like Grammy takes a look back?
Ugh, I hate Green Day, you guys.
anonanimal:
I’m not watching this shit.
Caveat: I’m not watching the Grammy’s. But I have to say I like their first album. However, even at the time, I remember thinking they were punk-lite but you know, sometimes that’s fun too. I do blame them for Avril Lavigne and the like.
First the new Humane Society commercial and now...
ctrain:
I’m stressed.
I’m getting ready to post some cute pictures of george from this weekend. They’re just uploading.
OK, now that I've actually read the NY Post story...
ctrain:
It is really sad. I have complained about hunter-abandoned beagles before and this is a perfect example of what happens. I hope now that their story has been published someone will pay attention to them and have some compassion.
So sad! I didn’t even know that sort of thing was common.
Seeing that beautiful pizza on my dash makes me...
ctrain:
I ordered a pizza for myself and M this afternoon. I just chose a place nearby that offered delivery. It was the most horrible pizza either of us has ever eaten. Afterward I remarked that I wished I’d called Dominos. Seriously. The pizza had no flavor. The crust had the consistency of soggy cardboard. It put me into the saddest mood.
I can’t spend money on take-out or delivery...

In other crazy news, my law school professors still think I would make an excellent law school professor. Really I have no right to complain about my life at all.
You should do it, just to experience adoration from all the ass-kissing law students!
Hehe. It was actually the career plan I think I was expected to pursue post-law school, but I opted...

Fundraiser/Mike is the Best
So I just got back from a bowling alley for a fundraiser for a local school in the area. My old neighbors union was hosting it. My old neighbor Mike is the best, I love him. Mike’s awesome bullet points:
* He looks like a old leprechaun who smokes like a chimney
* He cut my lawn/blew my snow the whole time my old roommate and I rented the house across from him and his wife Barb (also...
the only bad thing about listening to 90s music

dave matthews band.
i really dislike them. which was taboo to say in the presence of anyone while attending a former all girls college in the mountains of new england…those five years would’ve been a lot better if i didn’t get a staph infection in my toe from practically living with the girl’s basketball team and if dave matthews band didnt exist.
and guys-that infection was...
Sloth
I should go to yoga at 11:30. I kinda want to go. But it’s 16 degrees and I don’t feel like leaving my house. I’m warm here and there’s coffee.
Doppleganger
Ok. I finally got on facebook and looked at all of those. Seriously? I am thisclose to putting an end to my facebook experience, all it’s gonna take is one more stunt like, what color is your bra, and I’m out.
Oh Also!
My boyfriend in college leaned over during the preview to the Princess Diaries (what? I’m old!) and said, “you look just like her before the makeover” ie. when her hair was curly and she was wearing the glasses. I think it was more that I had similar glasses at the time. I was NOT amused though. He totally didn’t get it either, he had this big smile on his face and later...
moglo in re doppleganger v. reminding people of...
Several people told me I “looked” just like Scarlett Johanson after they saw Lost in Translation. I sort of have her body but when I finally saw it I was struck by how she (or at least her character in that movie) had all my same mannerisms and what not. Like how she would slump over a lot, or facial expressions.
but you guys, isn't the sport of American football...

I mean…
soup in a can is gross
morninggloria:
It’s about as hunger satiating as a glass of water and much, much worse tasting.
Hey! Don’t knock the entire basis of my diet.
Remarkably (pathetically)
sistermarymartha:
I feel something like hungover.
I had two largeish glasses of wine last night, spread out over, like 3.5 hours.
Went to bed at 11:15, slept(ish) until 7:15.
And yet I feel like dookey.
It was a sad day indeed when I realized I could no longer drink more than a glass and a half of wine and not feel like shit the next day. That’s when I started smoking more weed.

Oh hell’s bells, the private vs. public school debate again.
People have thrived in both environments. When you have children of that age, the beauty of the situation is that you and not anyone else will decide, based on a variety of factors, where your child goes.
Exactly. I went to public school all through 9th grade. During 9th grade I had some problems and my parents...
I read Catcher in the Rye.
wellofcromulence:
It was okay, I guess. It didn’t change my life. I don’t think I even found it particularly memorable.
All the books that really affected me when I was a teenager were written by women. Except The Odyssey. Homer just gets me.
Sports Radio
I listen to this show on the local sports radio on my drive home sometimes. Like when npr is nothing but heartbreaking stories, sometimes I just need a break. But I have often thought that it’s odd/sad that I hear some of the most open and progressive discussions on this one show (Valenti and Foster) on a station called 97.1 The Ticket. Mike Valenti is white and Terry Foster is African...
@ctrain
I slept through our g-chat proj-run date last night! I was so sad when I woke up around 10:30ish and Ben was like, “don’t you have your date on the internet tonight?”
Holy Shit
I hate that fucking country ass, “SHE’S A PINK WARRRIORRRR!!!” song they play during the Susan B. Komen 3 Day for the Cure commercial.
Shut UP. Shut UP. Shut UP.
I want to go to the gym, but it is 17 degrees out.
katoleary:
Decisions, decisions.
It’s 9 degrees here and I’m contemplating staying home period, so I’m impressed with your gym-enthusiasm.
Leaving Early (yay) to go to the gym (boo)
But I’m meeting my friend Beth who has work drama to tell me about a law firm I clerked for and she currently works. Yay. So more Yay than Boo.

Atticus Book Store and Cafe, located in New Haven, Connecticut, has caused a controversy over a recent policy decision to require all Hispanic employees to only speak English within a customer’s earshot. The staff is allowed to speak Spanish, but only in the prep area the dishwasher area and the lover level.
ew. But then again nothing turns me off of buying a new book then hearing the...
