Also, just as a note: Don’t hit your ankles together. It really hurts.

I went bowling without my glasses tonight
I’m usually very good about putting my glasses back in their case or at the very least in my bag.
I thought they might be on the coffee table at home. I looked ALL OVER my apartment and in my car, and I couldn’t find them. The last place I remember putting them on was at the record store this afternoon.
Then I remembered that I took them off and put them on my nightstand around...
Spotify set off my credit card fraud alert
I got the free premium trial, so they charged me $0.00, and my bank freaked out.
Silly gooses.

DISINFECT ALL THE THINGS!
An old woman in my office has a cold. If I can make it ‘til noon Friday without getting her germs, I should be ok. She should be better/not contagious by the time the long weekend is over. I had to touch a notebook she put on my desk, though. :/
I have friends to visit this weekend, one with a baby, so I’m doing all I can to avoid this ill woman.

I had a dream that David Gilmour came over to my...
He brought a raw lamb steak out of the package, as a gift. I thanked him and walked to the kitchen, frantically looking for the plastic wrap so I could put away this raw meat. I put it away, washed my hands, an changed out of my pajamas into some jeans and a shirt. I was wearing a large, nearly floor-length yellow raincoat almost the entire time he was there. He sat on my couch and was on his...

Would it be horribly inappropriate
if I played “Your Touch” by The Black Keys to my groom at my wedding?
I want to play something upbeat. I’m also thinking about “You’re the One,” because it might be more appropriate, but it’s slow. Sweet and slow, though. I’d like to do “Everlasting Light,” but it depends on how well I can get the vox down.
Dad sees me wearing my My Morning Jacket shirt a...
So he saw the Storytellers featuring them on TV the other day, and he checked it out.
Aww. :3

My mental list of vinyl I'm *sure* I have is...
I was putting away my new Rush records just now. I found some Rolling Stones records I totally forgot that I bought. When I picked up the James Gang record last week, I couldn’t remember 100% if I had it already or not.
I need to catalogue this shit somewhere.
Also, I’m running out of room to store them. I’ve got them so tightly packed in as it is.

"A CHRISTMAS STORY" TIME!
Listening to Allman Bros. "Eat a Peach" now
Another $1 find. Clear as a freaking bell.
poshrebelgirl replied to your post: I don’t really have anyone to shop for
same here! I bought clothes for my godson and an agenda for my mom! That’s all! :s
It’s kind of nice to not have to rush around buying for a lot of people, but now that I actually have some money, I’m in the mood to get gifts for people, but not a lot of people to buy for!
I don't really have anyone to shop for
I got my Mom a bitchin’ space calendar, because they always have landscape calendars of the US, and I thought I’d change it up a bit for ‘em this year.
Dad’s pretty much bought himself what he wants (new motorcycle seat and MW3).
I’m getting my boyfriend new work boots and some shirts and chocolate.
…and that’s it.
I cannot believe people are having a shitfit about...
Are you serious. He didn’t say anything bad about Jesus. It’s simply a silly song in which he compares the many aspects of Jesus to things. He did magic, and so does Derren Brown. He was born from a woman that did not have sex with a man, so do many species of animals…etc. etc. He didn’t give Jesus any attributes that aren’t in The Bible.

"The Shepherd's Dog" album is so very good
Iron & Wine just in general: fantastic, but “The Shepherd’s Dog” is one of my favorite albums ever.

in a small bedroom with a large window on a cold, rainy day, listening to Dinosaur Jr. and J Mascis.

The house next door to my parents was burgled
They even stole the child’s games. Seriously.
Now over at my apartment, there’s been a helicopter flying around for about an hour. So, some shit is/was going down somewhere near.
Dammit. Stop being assholes, humans.
The Goodyear Blimp has situated its farty, bloated...
There’s a football bowl game tonight. I’m not sure why the blimp is even here, the stadium is covered.
Anyway, it fucking freaked me out when I went out for bowling tonight and there was a blue rectangle in the sky.
I don't know what is up with these two old dudes...
One is in his 70s, one is in his 50s. Both are strange. The older one is apparently an asshole to everyone except me. He’s always very nice to me, and tells me that I’m “looking lovely” or “look gorgeous today.” Since it’s over the phone, it was funny once, now it’s just weird.
Then the other guy is nice to people’s faces, but talks shit...
I slept for nearly 12 hours last night
So nice.
However, I dreamt about grizzly bears invading Florida. Not so nice. It wasn’t necessarily a nightmare, but it wasn’t exactly puppies and rainbows, either.

My boss decided to keep her foster dog
She grew deeply attached to him in just a couple of weeks. So, now I get to dog-sit him when she goes on business trips/vacations! YAY PUPPY!

Last night's dream
Emily did not feature in this dream, for once.
I was providing moral support for my friend’s first fashion shoot. (IRL, she’s just quit her job at Armani and is now working with Prabal Gurung.) It was in a very old, rundown three story house. It was pretty barren except for a few pieces of strategically placed furniture (a few chairs strewn about, a couple of made twin beds). The...

lovetttodd replied to your post: Dreamt I was on a trip abroad with my parents…from like 2 weeks ago
WAS I CHILL?!??!
You were standing near the couch just like “Well, alright. This is kind of weird!” and kind of laughed it off where other people were screaming bloody murder and freaking out.
Emily: forever chillest person in my dreams.

Dreamt I was on a trip abroad with my...
I was on a trip with my parents in Greece. We went on a hike in Athens through a very thick, green, lush area that also had a lot of white ruins (they were mostly standing and had roofs and walls and columns). Then, we went to a crazy-looking house that was kind of split in half so you could see inside it, kind of like a doll house would be. Emily (lovetttodd) was there and we walked up the long,...
Thread about favorite piece of lab equipment
I open it looking for parafilm, everyone’s spazzing over it.
For real, parafilm is the shit. I’m glad I’m not the only one that had a deep love for it.
Good, busy day
Pancakes were good. He made them because I suck at making pancakes for whatever reason.
Went to feed the ducks at the park. Found out seagulls are assholes. Not only did they land on the poor ducks that were just floating there, I had my face flapped twice by seagulls that got way too close. There was wing-to-face contact. I was not amused. Then a buttload of ibis followed us around the park....

Fantastic to-do list for today
Pancakes for breakfast
Go to the park and feed the ducks (whole grain bread, not of that cheap white bread shit)
Muppet Movie (!!!!!!)
Run around with scanner guns and do our wedding registry
Dinner out
Walk/drive around and look at Xmas lights
Nearly asleep
Thought I heard four knocks on the front door. Eyelids fly open and heart pounds. Checked; no one there.
Stupid half-asleep dream making me think my home was about to be invaded. :/
For some unknown reason, we just had an hour break...
I had a sip of champagne just to see how it tasted. It didn’t seem that strong, but maybe that’s because I burnt my tongue on my lunch today (curse you vegan microwave burrito!), so I didn’t taste much. However, I did get to eat some fancy cheeses I’ve never had before. That was cool. My two coworkers (the only other people here today) finished off the bottle between...

The office dog now has a morning greeting routine
When the boss brings him in, he goes and gets a drink of water, swings by my desk for a quick petting, then trots off to his corner to chill with the boss.
Fucking head pain. It’s like “Here, let me stab you randomly in your right temple. No pain. Then suddenly, MOTHERFUCKING PAIN!!! Then no pain.”
Dammit.
Today kinda sucked
For seemingly no reason at all, I hated every aspect of myself. I sat at my desk and worked and tried very hard not to cry. I don’t know what the hell all that was about. I felt better after I got home. He put on some funny/cute cat and dog videos to cheer me up as I had plopped down on the couch beside him, leaned over, and moped.
Then, a little while ago, I had this horrible stabbing...

I think I'm going to play a song at ~le wedding
I have less than five months to pick one out or write one.
I better get on it.
Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket are playing...
I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH, YET I CANNOT ATTEND.
They better make a DVD of that shit.

Skip it, experience a new festie that hasn’t jumped the shark, e.g. NOLA Jazz or Hangout
That is true. We’ve been enough times already, we should check out a new one in a place we’ve not been before. If I do feel the urge to go to a festival next year (undoubtedly), I’ll definitely check out a different one!...
