orange bottles / silver cans

This girl is my new obsession. She is helping me become promiscuous.

I totally owe her.

I'm in bed at eight pm

I've been re-listening to Lauryn Hill's Miseducation for a week now, and I've realized it's one of the best albums, ever. From start to finish, it's fucking awesome. Like, every song is awesome. Especially That Thing, in which I can rap the first stanza along with Lauryn. (Poorly.)

So I thought I would write a little list of other albums that rock out on every single track. These are the CDs that stay in my CD carrying case permanently, because they never start sucking. In no particular order:

• The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
• Revolver by The Beatles
• Kanye's College Dropout
• Shrift - Lost in a Moment
• Zero Seven - When It Falls (hard to choose just one album, but this is the one I tend to put on repeat)
• The Best of the Ella Fitzgerald Gershowin Songbook
• Celtic Voice, one of those "mood" CDs that you find at Target with a pretty cover, but this one is so freaking soothing and pretty and makes me wish I lived in a castle shrouded with fog. With no electricity. And a horse and canoe as my only means of transportation.
  
• Justin Timberlake Justified
• Wicked
  
• Dave Matthews Band Busted Stuff (I've actually worn my way through two of these albums and have to get another copy. No one I know has or has heard of this album, even though it got to number one on Billboard.)
• My own personal Erykah Badu mix CD

That's it for now until I find something fab on my new ipod.

sometimes it's uncomfortable how open we are

My mother climbs into the backseat of my brother's CLK Mercedes coup and remarks, "It's so small back here, how do people have sex in cars anymore?"

totally related, totally boring

Several years ago, I got my little brother a shitload of shampoos and body washes for his birthday. It was not a joke. He was thrilled. It was a few months after he had requested (and received) a shampoo shower dispenser for Hannukah.

Today, I got this email from my other brother, He Who Can Finally Stop Using His Fake ID Tomorrow:

For my birthday...

I want the ultimate toaster. Yes, the same toaster that Oprah and the Queen of England uses. I want the Dualit 3 Slice in charcoal or chrome. It's the 3 Slice, NOT the Dualit Lite.

Below are some links where you can find them for a great price :)

(I think this one is refurbished. As long as it has no crumbs in it, it should be fine, right?)

(Look! Here's a brand new one!)

You guys get the point. I'm sure you can find them elsewhere on the Internet but eBay might be your best bet!

I know I'm not much to talk, because I asked for underwear on Hannukah and new sheets for my birthday.

my thesis is due in two weeks

I left for Target with the intention of buying oil pastels, but I returned forty-five minutes later having purchased one million tampons, a pair of black heels, and three puzzles. It took so long because I was busy drooling over post-its and dry-erase markers.

It's a wonder to me too how anything ever gets done around here.

in the saddle

Walk of Shame at seven thirty this morning wearing last night's "Gangsta" party outfit is the best thing I've done for myself since I bought my new car.

pollo is as pollo does

I'm currently on a phone survey about fast food, and the person on the other end is a complete idiot. He keeps talking about El Pollo Loco, but he says, "El Polo Loco," like he's never heard the commercials or has never been exposed to the Spanish language before.

And it's not like he said it once or twice. It was mentioned in every other query. Actually, it seems as though the survey could have been sponsored by the chain itself; there were at least fifteen questions about its quality and appeal.
