Rabbit Rabbit Day

Filed in Daily, Random, 30 April 2008, 10:01 pm by

When I was a kid, I used to go to a neighbor’s house all the time. She was an only child, and I lived with eleven other people, so I loved escaping the noise and bustle and general insanity that was par for the course at my house. We’d play Barbies or two-person Clue (I […]

That’s right, kids

Filed in Daily, Insanity, NaBloPoMo, 29 April 2008, 10:25 pm by

See that fancy little NaBloPoMo badge to the left? That pretty green square with the flower stem-looking things inside it and the words “31 posts in 31 days?” I’m totally going to do it. I know I’ll hate it by the end of the month, and I’ll probably want to swear off blogging forever, but […]

90s VOTW: “Virtual Insanity,” Jamiroquai

Filed in 90s VOTW, Daily, 28 April 2008, 9:36 pm by

This video was super innovative when it came out, yo. Hell, it might still be considered innovative since MTV never shows any damn videos anymore and therefore there are no new videos to surpass its awesomeness. (Yes, I sound like an old fart. Oh well!) Like, dude, the floor’s moving. And then suddenly the furniture […]

You know you’re in Los Angeles when

Filed in Insanity, Random, Travel, 26 April 2008, 1:26 pm by

All the billboards along the freeway are for Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery (”We treat everyone like a celebrity.”), breast augmentation (only $2999!), AdultCon (the world’s largest Adult Convention), or Disneyland.

Someone told me there’s a girl out there

Filed in Daily, Travel, 23 April 2008, 9:28 pm by

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Boyf and I are heading to California for a few days to get extremely intoxicated while celebrating the marriage of a very dear aunt. Posting will probably be sporadic, but I’ll try to do my best.
Have fun, kids!

Hmm

Filed in Daily, Random, , 1:00 pm by

Ever since I changed my relationship status to “engaged” on Facebook, a mere 24 hours ago, every ad in my sidebar has been for something relating to weddings - invitations, rings, gowns.
What do you think they’ll try to push on me after my status changes to “married?”

Anyone else have one of these in your bathroom?

I love weird old Pittsburgh houses that have been converted into weird old Pittsburgh apartments.

About that “not posting for five days” thing…

Filed in Daily, Personal, 21 April 2008, 10:06 pm by

I actually have a pretty good excuse: the woman in question, in this post? The woman with her arms filled with books about how to have a cheap, yet dazzling, wedding? The woman who the librarian told that she should elope?
That’s me.
Eek.
The boyf and I have decided to get married and we’ve been telling family […]

90s VOTW: “Stay,” Lisa Loeb

Filed in 90s VOTW, Daily, , 10:00 pm by

Lisa Loeb was so ahead of her time. The hip, thick-framed glasses, the indie artist who somehow managed to both avoid the music business and record a #1 single… she was pretty much the person that all the quiet, dorky bookworm girls wanted to secretly be. (Including me.) In other ways, though, she is so […]

The Carnegie Librarian Knows All

Filed in Daily, Pittsburgh, 16 April 2008, 7:15 pm by

A woman stands at the check-out counter at the Carnegie Library, arms full of books about how to have a cheap, yet dazzling, wedding. The woman behind the counter takes one look at the books, clucks her tongue, and shakes her head.
“Oh, honey,” she says wisely, “elope.”
