Also, I forgot to mention

Monday, March 30, 2009

that I was someone’s Bizarro World missed connection the other day – the ad’s expired now so I can’t post a link, but basically it said something to the effect of “you, redhead, left your apartment on Laurel and headed north.  You were wearing blue tights and a white sweater.  It was 10:30.”  The morning [...]

Yet another string of non-sequiturs

Monday, March 30, 2009

1.  Dear every straight boy on the internet:  Your favourite books are Fight Club and The Fountainhead?  Seriously? And this is why I have renewed my commitment to spinsterhood. 2.  I just dyed my favourite skirt purple because it was old and kind of strangely discolored after the Epic Turmeric Disaster of a few months [...]

Hey, what did you do for spring break?

Monday, March 30, 2009

Like, a whole bunch of stuff! First, I wrote a paper about outer space and the B-52s, but you already knew that.  For various roundabout reasons, the research process for this paper involved listening to Les Baxter’s Moog Rock, which is a horrible album.  Too bad, Les Baxter.  Less horrible but still horrible and yet [...]

Important text messaging exchanges that I have had with my roommate while he is away in Kalamazoo:

Saturday, March 21, 2009

“Does the phrase ‘lushly orchestrated neo-Romantic beguine’ make sense to you? PS: I just taught my phone how to spell beguine.” “Sounds lovely! Beguine! Now mine can say it too!” “Good! Thanks! And now our phones can listen to Cole Porter together!”

Ollalieberry:

Saturday, March 21, 2009

Actually a thing. (A mutant thing, but still, a thing.) (I do, however, remain dubious about a berry that needs to be explained using a flowchart.) Other important news:  I have just managed to work the phrase “Outer Space is for Lovers” into an academic paper; I have therefore reached the pinnacle of my academic [...]

A night in the life

Friday, March 20, 2009

Violet Vixen and I went to go see my newbestfriend Charles Phoenix‘s show last night in fashionable Pasadena, and my, did we have a time.  I think Charles is maybe starting to recognize me as Weird Girl Who Dresses Like It’s 1957 and Comes to All His Shows because he patted me on the shoulder [...]

Sandwiches

Saturday, March 14, 2009

Are you on twitter? If so, you might be interested to know that Tanya and I have a new project going (as of about 1:00 am last night when I thought of it) called SANDWICHBLOG, wherein we are using twitter to tell you what kinds of sandwiches we eat. We have started this project because [...]

NOBODY UNDERSTANDS YOU.

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Hey!  So, in honor of I Was Up Half the Night With an Existential Crisis (and, be honest, weren’t we all?), I am celebrating INTERNATIONAL BE 17 YEARS OLD DAY, which is a made-up holiday that I invented just now. I am celebrating International Be 17 Years Old Day by wearing black eyeliner and listening [...]

Dear Los Angeles: A love letter in three scenes

Monday, March 9, 2009

1.  On the bus today, headed towards Hollywood and Highland, I overheard the Jesus impersonator talking to the Haunted Tour of Hollywood tourguide.  There has been drama, it seems, amongs the people who dress as characters and pose for pictures with tourists in front of the Chinese Theatre.  There was once only one Superman, now [...]

This is what the internet is for, right? (or: DONUT MILK – THE SAGA CONTINUES)

Saturday, March 7, 2009

So, I just wanted to let you know that we decided to try turning the donut pulp into donut ice cream. It is in the freezer. I put Amaretto in it. There is only one way this experiment can end: AMAZINGLY.
