claudia:

(via britticisms)

what the hell. I have silver shoes similar to these but I would NEVER look that good in them. Is it because my day-to-day consists of manila envelopes and macaroni salad leftovers and I am just not fabulous enough? Or because I look like I’m doing the funky chicken at my cousin’s wedding when I try to dance like MIA.

Could be both.

Mannequin was on Encore tonight, maybe in celebration of the big Sex and the City premiere? (btw thanks, Mary Rambin, for countless pictures of SJP’s back muscles.) This movie is so deliciously ’80s it’s unreal. I don’t think I got half of the jokes when I was little. Like: HOLLYWOOD WAS GAY! Damn, missed that one.

So…why didn’t they play it back to back with Girls Just Want to Have Fun? For an ultimate the-eighties-were-simpler,-puffy-shoulder-padded-times experience.

totally sunburned

Today:

I took three walks. Well, the first one was a run, and I ran into a parade route going towards the center of town. So then I ran home, and walked back to the parade to catch the tail end of it, ended up walking the exact same route I had just ran.

Then I walked with my sis and her fiance through Mt. Auburn Cemetery up to this tower that has the greatest view of everything ever. We ate popsicles at my house afterwards.

Tonight:

I made dinner for two: Kilbasa on hot dog buns with mustard & ketchup, macaroni salad with celery and an orange pepper, baked beans, and potato chips. Nice American dinner, huh?

I noticed my sunburn after dinner. They never seem to come out right away.

Right now:

Drinking tap water with a squeeze of fresh lemon and I can’t believe how refreshing it is. I love almost-summer.

Does anyone else find when watching movies they grew up on (Reality Bites in this case) that even if you are now older than the actors were when they made the film, they will always look older than you in your own eyes?

Did I say that right?

Also, am I the only person who constantly looks up the ages of actors when watching a movie to see if they’re older/younger than me?

“Blond hair the way God meant, blond like Clorox sunshine. A caviar body, if you like your caviar lacquered in barbecue sauce. Breasts like plucked guinea hens, undercooked and overstuffed. And those legs, like those of every coed in every early-80s corduroy skirt, waving across the quad at the guy just behind you. Cheerleader legs. Jackknifing legs that split the air like seesaws. In the Dukes of Hazzard music video, those legs are in cowboy boots, moving like joysticks across your screen. She’s got that dumb-fox high-maintenance pout. She’s got her own money: She can buy your house just to use the toilet. She’s one of those easy-bake celebrities, up from Abilene, Texas, with a fizzy pop beat on church-choir training wheels. She’s hot as fresh milk and has an okay voice, and the rest just happens around her. Luck on Red Bull.”

Yesterday morning I was on my way to work, and I was happy the sun wasn’t out, because I knew that no one was going to be at my office all day and i could just sit and stare into space and try to ignore any metaphoric chains attaching me to my desk, and the sun being out on a day like that kind of kills me.

I was in my favorite cafe in Harvard Square, putting milk in my coffee, and this song came on…and I felt glued to the floor, like I had to listen to it. It felt like the perfect song for that moment in my life.

This probably puts me in the same camp as a certain type of lady, but I can’t wait for this. Will watch several IMPORTANT documentaries to offset my movie karma.

Oh, and why waste time critiquing Carrie’s dress when girlfriend’s hair looks so fabulous?

Easy as 1-2-3.

baugher:

Right now? I am really scared.

I finally got around to reading the abcnews.com article, after reading a bunch of reblogs yesterday. Best line:

For life bloggers like Allison, who electronically post intricate details of their lives in the blogsophere, it is to be expected that not everyone who reacts to these blogs will like what they’re saying, several Internet experts say.

HOLY SHIT. They called Internet experts for this! A better reporter probably would have pointed out that JA never changed course until one very specific post from baugher. Obviously, she would prefer that baugher not exist, but I think she would have kept posting party dresses and cupcakes and puppies round the clock, without the published emails. (Note: I find JA’s blog highly entertaining, just as I find baugher’s. I just think, you know, the emails are a critical part to the story.)

My apologies for the following posts

karion:

I am going to spoof the tumblrs (one in particular) who believe the internet needs to know what they are wearing in remarkable detail. As I am not an exhibitionist, I found something else to document: what I am eating and drinking.

Alas, I don’t have video capability this week, but rest assured, in the future, the meals will be documented with the same attention for detail. The following posts should be taken tongue in cheek.

Ha. There are just no original ideas anymore.

Bathroom

Definitely one of the best J&A videos in a while. I love the roll of toilet paper at the end. Also Amir’s angled legs as he silently lowers them. HA.

My Friend Tina

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:13:12 -0400

Tina Fey is on David Letterman right now and for some reason she keeps adding the label “my friend” before she says a person’s name. Like, “My friend Amy Poehler is really funny.” It’s a little weird.

Welcome, not that ANYONE is going to care about reading someone reblogging some one else’s blog(hmmmm…) never mind reblogging someone else’s reblog, but for f*ck’s sake I think there may be 3 or 4 of you out there who will find this just clever, boring, or obnoxious enough to read & take up 30 seconds of your day!!

er, yesterday I drunk-blogged some not serious ideas for tumblrs. Third on the list: Reblogging Baugher. Unfortch, it’s not as good as the original, NOWHERE near as good as the sequel.

I vote for What I Ate next!

It took them a while, but newspapers finally caught wind of the whole plastic debacle

It took them a while, but newspapers finally caught wind of the whole plastic debacle:

via today’s boston.com:

So how dangerous are these bottles? And what should consumers do about the risk?

“The truthful answer is that nobody knows” their full health impact
yet, said David Ozonoff, a professor of environmental health at the
Boston University School of Public Health. “And because we don’t know,
it’s prudent to avoid something that is avoidable.”

*The plastic-eater in me loves how the expert’s name sounds like something you would spray to kill the ozone JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.

(Reblogged from too much awesome's tumblr, does not allow html for some reason??)
me: 10 people have started following me on tumblr in the last 12 hours.
me: apparently, to be popular, all you have to do is reblog julia allison

***Fo' the Record:
I am a fan of your blogspot--was alerted when Choire or Doree of Balk reblogged something you wrote a while back. I was sad when you quit your blog (for a day!). Just happened to see you reblog Julia one day and BAM! there you were too much awesome-ing on tumblr.
