Daily Confessions

I decided a couple weeks ago to start a Daily Confessions segment.
Let’s get you up to speed:

Daily Confession #1 – I daydream about eating a giant tub of hummus. With a spoon

Daily Confession #2 – I turn up any Taylor Swift song that comes on & belt it out at the top of my lungs. Like I am right now

Daily Confession #3 – I have a girl crush on Emma Stone. And a movie crush on Zombieland

Daily Confession #4 – Woke up sweating @ 4am cuz Freddy Krueger was trying to kill me, just f/seeing the preview @ Zombieland earlier. >:(

Daily Confession #5 – I enjoy wearing rainboots when it’s not raining. Note to self: buy more rainboots

Daily Confession #6 – I can smell when it’s going to rain. Not unlike the dumb blonde girl f/Mean Girls’ boobs

Daily Confession #7 – ultimately, I’m dying to be in a hardcore band. Playing drums

Daily Confession #8 – I enjoy toying w/people on the road. In a legal and safely manner of course

Daily Confession #9 – I hold solo dance parties in my car and in my apt regularly

Daily Confession #10 – Fact: Blue M&Ms taste better than all the other stupid M&M colors

Daily Confession #11 – just downloaded Aaliyah’s last album she made in 2001. Love her

Ok, tune in daily for more dailies.

I’m having a superb day (’say it again Lucas’…..’superb’)

I’m having a superb day. And this is why:

-Got to have a very sweet text convo this morning w/the boy, which reminds me why I like him :)

-Spent last night hanging w/my bff Dena watching the olympics, Fool’s Gold (eh), eating carrot cake, and doing fun girly things that will go unmentioned so as to not freak out our significant others. But it involves looking at pretty things and dresses….

-Playing 2 shows tonight, one with my band Vienna and another with Vienna filling in for hiphop artist Faith. Very excited to show off my white side AND my black side. Doesn’t happen very often….I grew up in the suburbs….

-Was reminded of one of my favorite TV shows of all time- Mystery Science Theatre 3000! Filmed in Hopkins, MN about 15 min from where I grew up, it was a staple on Comedy Central for a long time. A man and 3 robots in space watching/mocking ‘D’ movies. I mean come on, it doesn’t get better than that. If you get a chance, check out Eegah. It’s my favorite. Plus it’s got Jaws from Moonraker in it. Skip past the credits, they’re dumb.

-Despite being back on my ‘diet’, I didn’t have time to pack food today for work, so against my better judgement (not really) I went to Taco Bell. Yum.

-Bought a vegan Coconut Macaroon cookie at my fav local indie coffee shop this morning. Definitely one of the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life and it just happens to be the cookie of the season. Ever. Period. Double yum.

-The new Cohen Brothers movie is being filmed across the parking lot from my work! It’s called A Serious Man and due out in 2009. There’s a guy outside the warehouse cutting something with some sort of mechanical saw….

-And last but not least – I get to see my boo this weekend! We don’t get to spend much time together now that he’s started his new job (9pm-7am 4 days a week) and he’s got band practice like everyday pretty much, so we grab time when we can :)

The best bandmates a girl could ever ask for

Deep Thoughts
By Jack Handey

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: “Mankind”. Basically, it’s made up of two separate words – “mank” and “ind”. What do these words mean ? It’s a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is “God is crying.” And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is “Probably because of something you did.”

If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

Consider the daffodil. And while you’re doing that, I’ll be over here, looking through your stuff.

Instead of studying for finals, what about just going to the Bahamas and catching some rays? Maybe you’ll flunk, but you might have flunked anyway; that’s my point.

Sometimes I think I’d be better off dead. No, wait, not me, you.

It’s Business Time

It’s Wednesday.
And Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Tuesday night is the night you go and visit your mother, but Wednesday night is the night that we make love.
Cuz everything’s just right, conditions are perfect. There’s nothing good on TV………….conditions are perfect.

This video never ceases to make me smile.
If I’m having a rough day, who do I turn to? My friends? No. My family? Sometimes. My Stylist? Only if I’m feeling particularly nappy. Nay, I turn to the quirky musical stylings and comedic fanfare of New Zealand’s own Flight of The Conchords.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with New Zealand, here are some fun facts about FOTC’s homeland:

  • Lord of The Rings was filmed there

Yep. That’s pretty much it.
Oh, and they invented the Zorb

And their national bird is pretty cute

But other than that….

So here’s to you Bret and Jermaine, thank you for brightening many a dull day and teaching me the following life lessons:

And finally
