pissy, much? yeesh.

sorry, folks.

no line breaks??? wtf, twitter?

all i wanted to post was



the flood took our home
took all our belongings, too
it did not take us



it really can't be that hard to accomodate.

</anti-twitter>


ps - yeah, we got an iphone to replace the old drowned phone (partly for easy internet access). i'm seeing about getting a blogging client for it so i can stay in touch on here easily. i'll keep yez posted. it's been a hell of a week. what day is it again???

hi.

two three things.


one:

Tomorrow (9/19) is talk like a pirate day.



two:

Seth Rogen is hot.



three:

Lately I'm enjoying watching Columbo with my husband.





i wonder if a total stranger could guess my age based only on this post. ha.

1. We (Ben and I) got married. We did not have a church wedding. We did not have guests. We did not get gifts (for the most part). It's all fine by me -- a pretty fair trade for not throwing an expensive party. I look forward to a life of having not only my first name, but also my LAST name butchered in pronunciation, and I am still insanely happy about it.


[EDIT: WE WERE MARRIED ON THE 4TH OF JUNE. -A.T.]



2. Forbidden Zone is out in its Richard Elfman -approved and -endorsed Colorized Version! BUT...I was not sent a special VIP copy. What the hell, Rich??? Although, I still haven't finished my sequel audition tape. It has to be perfect!!! *sigh* The sequel will be done filming by the time my tape's perfect enough! :(



Everyone do the "Yiddishe Charleston!!!"


...c'mon, do it for me! Yeahhhh!!! :D

If their lives don't provide it, they incite violence.

Common sense.

Simple common sense.


lolstreets.

my sweetheart and i saw something for sale the other day.

it's a car. but not just ANY car. it's the bestest car ever, with the most funnest name to say...get ready to say it with me...( it's a...it's a... )

so i dreamed i was snorting

BAKING SODA.

ewwwwww


i also dreamed i was (with others) in some sort of tall vehicular structure thing, getting away from a

TYRANNASAURUS REX,

the catastrophic effects of which were being reported in the media as some sort of weather phenomenon. "That's bullshit!" i said.



i guess i can blame the kava kava, too. maybe it won't always be part of my sleeping-better plan...


kava kava's a helluva drug

hay guise!!! i'm crawling out of depressed-land in order to tell the world about the wonders of...

BAKING SODA.

if you want to clean your tub, all you need is a brush, some vinegar, and...

BAKING SODA.

if you want your teeth and tongue to feel cleaner and sparklier (y'know, the way yer tub looks now), y'know what you put on yer toothbrush before you sploot the toothpaste on it? that's right...

BAKING SODA.

if you're almost out of shampoo, or if your shampoo is unsatisfactory to you, here's something you can add to it to make it stretch and/or make it more cleansariffic:

...BAKING SODA.

there's also something you can put in the laundry to make your detergent more powerful! it's

BLEACH. or BAKING SODA.

DO NOT PUT BLEACH ON YER TOOTHBRUSH. although...on a message board i lurk on for laughs some woman was using a MR CLEAN MAGIC ERASER on her teeth. also, one night many of the women were SWISHING OIL FOR 20 MINUTES because someone read this would whiten teeth, and insisted that it worked for her. this is the same message board where there was SHOW PLACEMAT DRAMA.


lOOk at this (may be ***NSFW***):
OMGZ THIS WOMAN IS FORKING HILARIOUS I LOVES HER I WILL HAVE HER BABIEZ0RZ!!~!~`1

heehee, Seth Rogen and Gogol Bordello on Letterman.

[/fangirl squee]


ugh, i gotta pin down an action research proposal for class. it might be ok. i can't find any lit on what i'm thinkin' about doing...but i haven't done any serious digging yet. Laughing Librarian's Sept. 4th blog contains my (possible) inspiration: http://www.laughinglibrarian.com/index.htm

i spent hours today reading librarian blogs and being very entertained by Annoyed Librarian's "Library 2.0" tirades and the subsequent comment-discussions. this post here is what got me interested, but several other tangents are there at AL, too.


i'm learning so much more from reading blogs than i am from "reading" (skimming for relevant bits) peer-reviewed lit.


...

kate bush music in the CSI ads??? whiskey tango foxtrot.


also,
"SUNDAY. The music of Nirvana. ... On CBS. In an all-new COLD CASE." Again...who tackles fuzz???

omigod, i'm half a hipster.

in other words, i'm sharing a job with someone else at Hipster Heaven.

it's SO MUCH BETTER than the no-job i had before. :\

eat it, citibank student loans.

i'd like to thank Josh for believing in me and convincing others that they should, too.

i'm way more happy about this than anyone should be about a job in retail. but i get to fix/straighten stuff and help people find stuff while i ease into library school. it's kinda perfect.

i found this on YouTube, so i'm cheating by posting it remotely, but it was too cool to resist sharing. there's an explanation here on YouTube, and it's really interesting.

weeoooo!!!

We've been back for a little while, actually. I was putting off posting here for no reason, until disaster struck this evening in the Twin Cities...apparently a very large highway bridge over the Mississippi collapsed during the end of rush hour today. We had no clue until the announcers on the Twins Radio Network mentioned that tomorrow's game and the groundbreaking for the new stadium would be postponed due to "the I-35W bridge tragedy." So we looked it up on the Star-Tribune website and watched CNN for a bit and Ben called his family and friends there, and eventually we found out that everyone we knew was accounted for and ok.

Whew. I'm really freaked out by that happening, and we've been out of the area for over a week. I wanted everyone to know we're ok, though.

Paris's roots are like, soooooo bad. Just because you've been in jail most of the month doesn't mean you can get away with such awful, awful grooming. Someone is SO not a Smooth Susan right now. tsk, tsk.

And she's probably got...BODY HAIR!!! OMGWTFBBQ 1st stop, electrolysis clinic!!!  "ew ew ew!!!" 

What's weird is that I'm reading Foxfire, and Legs just got out of juvie.  Like night and day:  Legs Sadovsky and effin' Paris Hilton.



And here is the Mayor of Tiny Town hat. Only $148.  I think mine was $8.  Wherever it is...  :(



I *heart* my Dr. Who brothers.

Rest in peace, Sam. We'll miss you. I hope you knew you how much you were admired and respected.

There has been a cat hanging out outside our place. Every time one of us walks around outside, it says

"MYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!" insistently to us.

I can't do it nearly as cutely as B. can. "MYAAAAAAAAH!!!"

It's REALLY REALLY CUTE (both ways, cat and B's impression).

The cat is tiny, with black and white tuxedo markings and a LOUD SQUEAKY VOICE.

I've named her Tuxedo Diva, even though I know she belongs to a neighbor and has kittens (there are four, and they will look and mew out their window when it is open--it is the cutest thing ever--"Mom!!! Hey, Mom!!! Hey!").

I hope her people will not be so dumb as to continue to not get her spayed. That makes me angry.

COME SEE MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL AT THE CAROLINA THEATER IT STARTS AT 7:30 TONIGHT IT'S $5 IT'LL BE FUN I MIGHT BE LATE 'CUZ I'M WAITING FOR S.O.

Dear Tyra,

It's really good to see more representation of transgender issues in the mainstream media. Any positive portrayal is a big step in the right direction, and I think it's great that you and your producers dedicated a show to speaking with people who are transgender and their partners. But please, please don't go through faux-sensitive questions and concerned nods only to glance "awkwardly" at the audience and begin prodding your guests to go into very personal details they clearly aren't comfortable sharing or confronting on national television. With EVERY GUEST. Sensationalist much?

Kthxbye.



p.s. to be fair, a couple guests didn't seem that uncomfortable. still. it was kinda rude. but it may be the only reason many people would bother watching, and some of those people may now have a better understanding of people as PEOPLE instead of freakshows. ok, fine.
