just putting this out there

i don't mean to play down the bravery and commitment of the protesters in egypt who unseated the president the other week, and a lot of people have been talking about the role of facebook and twitter in these events. again, i don't want to step on any toes here, buuuuuuuut...

couldn't they have just checked in a bunch of times on foursquare?

all the different ways

i get this shopping email every other day because i'm a fashionable kind of lady, and i like to use some of the money that i earn on articles of clothing or accessories to appear a certain way to other people and also to have confidence in my appearance around others.

ANYWAY for the last few weeks they've been promoting this hat, which makes me laugh every time. just look at all the ways you can look stupid (for $90 rather than the original price of $180)!







anyway, i got a free shipping upgrade so mine should be here any day now.

omgoodness

here's how much of a lightweight i am buys (guys): i had one small glass of wine WITH DINNER and i am telling you right now i would not be ok to operate a motored vehicle. put me on a sailboat though and i would be captain jack dawson! not, i would probably drown AND wreck a sailboat. who put me on a sailboat? GUUUUYS!

anyway i just wanted to say 1) how awesome everything is and 2) people as well. for real, today i got adobe CS5 suite on my personal laptop because i work at a university where if you do work from your personal computer sometimes you get all the same software from your work computer installed on your home computer WHOA. i know right? so that was free, and then i made salmon which was ok and while i was doing the dishes i was just thinking about all my favorite people, which you are one of! them. for. quotes?

well, that's all for tonight. i'm gonna watch 2-3 more episodes of Peep Show and comb my cats who have maybe one flea, two max. that's it. don't worry about it.

love you!

*EDIT i am not watching Peep Show i am watching Douchebag which is a movie my friend andrew stars in and it is HILARIOUS. you can rent or buy it on itunes right now, please consider that.

careful what you wish for

as much as i would like to see steve mcqueen brought back to life so he could star in more action movies, i know it wouldn't be the same.
