You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you’re apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you’re a night owl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence – you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking [...]

At a wine bar recently:
Me: “If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would you choose?”
Him: “You go first.”
Me: “Okay. Carrie Brownstein, Thomas Jefferson and Katharine Hepburn. Your turn.”
Him: “Malcolm X, John Adams and Audrina Partridge, naked. OW!”
Me: -I frowned and scowled at him.-
Him: “Okay, you’re right. I’m sorry. I [...]

The WTF blanket

03Feb09

Okay, by now I’m sure you’ve seen the infomercial for the Snuggie blanket? If you haven’t, go to this website now so you can see what I’m talking about.
Do people actually buy this sh*t?!

Carnaval Brasileiro: Checking dignity at the door since 1977

02Feb09

Anne sent me an e-mail a couple weeks ago asking if I wanted to go to Carnaval. Prior to Saturday, my only knowledge of Carnaval was that it was a crazy celebration that some of my friends in college attended…and they didn’t wear any clothes. I like a party as much as the next girl, [...]

Snicker, snicker, snicker

27Jan09

“Sniggering at double entendres is a loved and time-honored tradition in this country,” Carol Midgley wrote in The Times of London. Ed Hurst, a co-author, with Rob Bailey, of “Rude Britain” and “Rude UK,” which list arguably offensive place names — some so arguably offensive that, unfortunately, they cannot be printed here — said that [...]

Him: Who do you think got more ass, Burt Bacharach or Robert Goulet?

Last Friday night some friends came to Austin from San Marcos and Houston to hang out downtown. One of them, Clint, brought a harem of women with him that were visiting from…Wisconsin? Actually, one of them goes to school in Boston and the other were going to school in Wisconsin. I think. Okay. I don’t [...]

My lovely co-workers and I got into an interesting conversation on the way back from a lunch outing today. It started with baby names. A colleague told the story of a kid born in Lubbock with the name “!”. Urban legend? I think not. We joked that this person, !, is probably super loud and [...]

Jean-Claude Van Ew.

24Nov08

My best friend in 7th grade, Maile Daniels, was obssessed with Jean-Claude Van Damme. She seriously thought he was so cute. I thought that was wierd then, and I especially think it’s wierd now in light of recent events.
