This is for those of you whom we love but because of our personality "quirks" we seldom stay in touch with, and even for those of you whom might rather we didn't stay in quite so frequent touch. -S&M
My kitties are totally impressed by cupcakes.
Just had a woman take a picture of my "Stupid Lamb" sticker while stopped at a red light.
A few months ago I found the quirky, lovable, incredibly fantastic show, Wonderfalls. Like all of the shows I adore, it was canceled well before its time. (Only three episodes aired, but luckily a full 13-episode season was released on DVD.)
While browsing ebay, I came across a Wax Lion, one of the main figurines from the show that talks to main character Jaye and convinces her to do things to help people. I immediately plunked down the money and snatched this little gem up. Then I received an email from the seller to tell me when it would ship. This is what his email said:
"Your lion will be shipped via USPS First Class Mail first thing in the morning. However, should he start talking to you when he gets there, I would strongly suggest that you seek professional help immediately!"
Just received the following text:
"OMG. Am in the car, daydreaming about Twilight and am totally blanking on the 'dad's' name. Is it Carlisle? Help!"
The fact that I totally understand the daydreaming and the need to text someone to get a name when your mind shuts down is why I love my friends. They're not scared to be fan girls. And they totally rock for it!
This is the response I received from John Allen after threatening to explain the appeal of Twilight: "i understand they are well written books, but come on! "OMG I, like, really like this guy, like and like he's a vampire!" It's like Judy Blume's Stories from the Crypt. HAHAHA"
While looking at a Cougar paper sample book:
Susan: "Did you feel the chameleon? You totally have to feel the chameleon!"
Shawn: "I think I've been asked that before."
Quote of the day as read in an article from the Los Angeles Associated Press about Kevin Smith's latest movie, Zack and Miri Make A Porno:
"If they want to call the movie `Zack and Miri,' that's fine, but Zack and Miri cannot make a porno on my bus shelters," Cutler said.
So I arrived in Phoenix last Thursday afternoon (a week ago yesterday), and the first thing I noticed after the inundation of brown was the City of Phoenix's logo. At first glance, the logo whizzing by my taxi window looked familiar. The wings of a bird-like creature curved up into a "w" shape reminiscent of Wu Tang Clan. It didn't occur to me that this was the city's logo of a phoenix with flaming wings until the ride back to the airport. I thought the southwestern mecca simply loved its rap music.
But if Dumbledor had had a logo, I think it would have looked something like this:
(Please note: The landing was rough and I was trying not to hurl in the back of the cab on the way to the hotel, so my mind was not as clear as on the way back to Sky Harbor when I recognized what the symbol really was.)
Random text from Mark while I was in Phoenix:
"So I got in my new grills and I think I'm in love."
1) Do not buy a business the week before your anniversary.
2) Do not agree to go to a work skating party.
3) Do not eat pizza and drink Diet Coke at said skating party in lieu of a nice romantic dinner.
4) Do not have car trouble, making your spouse drive all over creation instead of getting dessert.
5) Do not forgo the glass of wine because you are tired.
6) Do not go directly to bed after finally arriving home from the same said skating party.
At lunch today, I told Mark that I finally gave into an idea and now my novel has a new direction.
His response: "You added vampires didn't you?"
(If this doesn't make sense to you read a few posts back about Twilight and it will all become clear. And to answer his question - No.)
With the recent lack of my beloved Squibnocket cards, I found myself at a loss for witty, eccentric, kick-ass greeting cards. Then Michael Ausiello (formerly) from TV Guide posted his partner's stationery site in his (former) weekly Ask Ausiello column. Pretty Bitter is awesome! I already purchased a nice supply so that I will be well stocked.

Kirsty (talking about a certain web programmer): "He needs to be ridden really, really hard."
Quote 2
Shawn: "Whose purse is this?"
Susan: "Lindsay's." (pause) "Why? Are you starting a collection?"
If you require context, please email me. Otherwise I hope you enjoyed those as much as I did.
I was a little wary of Pushing Daisies after all of the media hype. This usually doesn't bode well for shows. But this whimsical little show has heart. And humor. And a quirkiness that has the potential to land a coveted spot near the top of my must-see list.
The shy pie maker Ned, his playful alive-then dead-then live again childhood girlfriend Chuck, his afflicted dog Digby that he can only touch with a wooden hand, and voice overs by none other than Harry Potter's narratoe Jim Dale — what more could a girl ask for?
License Plate at the house across the street:
HRLY GRL
I read it as Hourly Girl. Then I saw the Harley-Davidson sticker on the window.
I liked it better my way.
