brain fire

Sometimes I wish I had a Twitter account so that I could update it all the time. I think I'm pretty clever.
Sometimes I have to remind people that I am so clever.
I wonder why they keep forgettting?
Lame.
I just watched 'chronicles of narnia' live on jimmy fallon and I'll bet the extras in that video are tweeting about it.

My name is not a whistle, or a snap of the fingers, or tapping on an empty glass/bottle.
The length of my skirt is up to me to decide, don't touch it.
Don't touch me.

Time to Stop

treating my body like shit. Turns out, I like my life, I like being alive, I like my little temple here on zee earth. So that makes it time to stop:

Drinking so much (so often)
Smoking
Eating fast food so much (so often)
Staying up ridiculously late
Sleeping all day

And now it is time to start:

Working out (more often)
Investing in a wardrobe (fewer men's shirts)
Learning to cook
Eating right
Making time

Things I don't want to do

1)Put on makeup
2)Go to work
3)Clean my car
4)Pretend to be nice
5)Stick to my budget

But I will do them because:

1)I'm husband hunting
2)I need money
3)It's kinda smelly
4)I need to win
5)I need the monies to get to LA so I can meet, seduce, and marry Paul Rudd

lazy summer days

I've had two days off in a row. It's been amazing. Right now I'm sipping my coffee, writing this, listening to music, making plans and catching up with old friends. the roomies are all gone so, I'm lounging about in my bathrobe. What a life. I think I may work out and shower later. Go to the pool. Read. I really like my life

Some things I am looking forward to:

1) Canoeing this weekend. I've never been and am excited. Also, I really want to spend some good goof-off time with all the kids.

2) Mewithoutyou concert in Lawrence. I hope I can get the day off of work because this will be amazing. the new album is like nothing i have ever heard before and I am obsessed with 'King beetle on a coconut estate'

3) July 4th. I have no idea what I'm doing, but hopefully I'll be in St. Joe with the family. I haven't seen the boys in a very long time. Maybe I'll stop in Cameron and visit my mom and nana too, havent seen them since Christmas. That's far too long.

4) Grocery Shopping. I'm so hungry.

5) L.A

Obsessions

I get in these moods every once in a while in which I either love or loathe everything. I think that's alright. I think that's grand.
Right now I'm (re)obsessed with a lot of things. I say "obsessed" because it's true. I either watch, listen to, or read about all of these things because I can't seem to get over the idea of how great they are.

Oh look, a list!

1) Anthony Bourdain. There's really no explaining this. He's old, bitter, cynical, and crass. Well, I guess that is the explaination. An ex-chef who now travels the world experiencing and documenting different cultures and people through the food they prepare and share. It's a foodie show, but it really isn't about food at all. love.

2) "Igby Goes Down"- see previous post

3) "Heart of Darkness" Joseph Conrad just gets it. I've been re-reading a book of his short fiction (including Heart of Darkness) and it's just good work. Having somewhat recently seen Apocolypse Now helps too.

4) "Brick". Just watch it. A contemporary take on classic crime drama/nior. Writing to fall in love with.
ex: "You've helped this office before."
"No, I fed you Jerr because I wanted to see him eaten, not to see you fed."

"Why are you telling me this? What's your play?"
"You think nobody sees you. Eating lunch behind the portables. Loving some girl
like she's all there is, anywhere, to you. I've always seen you...Or maybe I liked
Emily. Maybe I see what you're trying to do for her. Trying to help her, and I
don't know anybody who'd do that for me."
"Now you are dangerous."


5) Helena by Nickel Creek. It's for sure number one on my top played list on iTunes. There's just something about a story/song like this. I find myself identifying with both 'characters' as it were.

6) 3OH!3. Needs no explaination.

7) I Never Knew You by Cage. I know, I know it's lame hipster underground rap. I'm aware. But it's dark and creepy and sad and Shia LeBouf didn't suck at directing the music video.

8) The phrase "Suck it". I think I stole this from Joel, but I don't care. It's funny and innapropriate, which is all one can really ask for.

A Week of Bad Ideas

1) Driving 4 hours in the sun with one arm out the window.
2) Letting mysterious birthday boys buy you drinks.
3) Meeting Ron Jeremy
4) Getting Ron Jeremy's signature
5) Selling plasma then going drinking
6) Texting during or after any of these activities
7) 7and7's
