I can not. wait. for summer.

Today is Friday of a four-day week, and payday.  And I have a cute braid in my hair.  And my iPod is charged.  And it’s pretty nice outside.  You know me when it gets nice out.  It’s like catnip.  I start talking in song lyrics, I joke around with strangers. 
So here’s what’s new with me:  [...]

Don’t tell them we went down to Ybor City again

(thats a line from a Hold Steady song.  They love Ybor City)
So Wayne and I totally pulled off Roadtripapolooza 2009!  A trip planned specifically because a) we love The Hold Steady and b) we couldn’t get tickets last time they were in town.  Well.  Technically I could from a sketchy man named Biff who said [...]

Fantastic, it’s Monday

Luckily, Gillian tagged me on this on her blog (Lint of Pocket, to your right) and since it’s Monday and I managed to lose like 3 hours of sleep in the time change somehow (magic) I can answer these handy questions instead of wondering if there’s anything good to write about. It’s an award with [...]

If life gives you old strawberries, have your boyfriend make preserves out of them

So yeah, I did get my nails done. But I communicated with the nail technician to not destroy my calluses as was her instinct, and when she was filing them I kept saying “shorter, shorter.” It worked well. I have guitar-proof nails in Suzi Says Da.
So what the heck about the weather huh? Not to [...]

Wayne and I have been dating for two years! Yay. Once, while we were driving on a road trip, I asked Wayne what our song was. “Allison Road,” he said and I have inexplicably never let him forget this. Happy Anniversary, us. Here’s some confusing Gin Blossoms lyrics to celebrate this day:
I’ve lost my mind [...]

One case closed at least

Ah!  She posts still!  Who even thought this would be coming, pre-thanksgiving?  You thought I was going to wait until next week, didn’t you.  Well I can’t.  There is simply too much to write about.
For one thing, my front page story is this:   I saw Christmas trying to eat Ryan!  OMGSH!  Okay, I’ll paint you [...]

There are ways, dude, you don’t want to know

Today is Wednesday that feels like Tuesday, one of my favorite kinds of day.  Generally my brain catches up later in the week, but it’s those first two days that every time you think, “What day is it?” you go, “Tuesday– no!– Wednesday.”  I like it.  It’s another thing that’s like standing on your bed and [...]

Hustlers grab your guns, your shadow weighs a ton

If you are not familiar with allthe lyrics of “California” aka the OC theme song, then I’m sorry that my blog title does not make sense to you.  And a little bit sorry that you do not watch the OC.  That said, by Wednesday Night This Week I will be in California (California) (Here we come)(ooooh).  [...]

An interview; don’t read unless you are really bored.

I am thinking that I am going to do this post interview-style.  Because I am lame.  I think that’s the reason.  Let’s pretend I’m being interviewed by… oh, Vogue.  Because they just interviewed Gwenyth Paltrow and I like the association.
Amy agrees to meet me in Starbucks, since it’s a Wednesday.  “Don’t worry,” she explains, “Free [...]
