only in Austin
You may remember me from such celebrity stories as "Matthew McConougheys Penis--Austins Ambassador"and "Sandra Bullock--Homewrecker".
So, tonight I go downtown to the Boy Band Sing-a-long at the Drafthouse because, really, I loves me New kids on the block.
and im in line to go in, trying to call a friend who is running late and who walks by me? Quentin tarantino. And who is he with? Fiona Apple. please dont ask why. It makes as much sense to me as it does to you.
And he turns to me and some girl next to me and says "are you ready to sing some boy band songs?" and I reply "Fuckin-A, dude" because I like to invoke the spirit of bill s preston when starstruck.
They sat in the back. Until sometime around "larger than life", when QT came to join the giant dancing mob in the front of the theatre.
Turning to the director of "Reservoir Dogs" and singinig "Backstreets back....ALRIGHT!!" ranks pretty high on the strange scale.

Hello World
Today?
Kinda teh suck.
This weekend?
Will be spent in my house. Period. Well, except for a quick trek to the post office and the asian mart tomorrow morning. And then I will spend the rest of Saturday and all day sunday in a wifebeater and panties playing video games, eating thai red curry, and drinking alcoholic beverages that will, quite possibly, be decorated with little umbrellas.

Signs you are not your dog's owner, just his roadie
So (and don't laugh) this week has been pet awareness week here at work. Humane society came to lure us into taking home homeless pets and giving them money for food and whatnot. Today we were told to bring in photos of our pets and all the photos would be put up on a board so that people could guess who's pets belong to who. And so people could see who exactly the crazy cat ladies in training are.
So, I, of course, brought a photo of Truck.
And as I was walking back to my desk from lunch, my supervisor stopped to tell me "Everyone loves your dog. Several people have taken pictures of the picture of your dog".

End of an Era
You realise you have grown up when you've decided to list your entire collection of The Smiths imports and memorabilia to help add money to fund an adoption.
My 14 year old self would beat the shit out of me if she knew....

Shift It
So, how does one go about learning to drive a stick shift?
I mean, I'd like to have options should I ever, say, need to buy a car. Or if I'm ever a contestant on Amazing Race.
My first idea is to rent a car with manual transmission, opt for all the insurance in the world, and go to town. Very slowly. While burning the clutch out.
But there must be another option? Driving school? Just me and a bunch of 15 year olds with a lerners permit and a need to go to the mall.
Help!

McTvshow
Dear gray's Anatomy
Thank you for being such an awesome show. And for making me cry so so so much. So much that it freaked my dog out and he jumped off the sofa.
Love,
Stephanie

It's the little things
Over the last year of my research to adopt a child, I am often rubbed the wrong way by things I've come across in an agency's information packet or website.
I came across an agency that does African adoptions and found this in their FAQ's:
------------
Are the children healthy?
Some are, some aren't, most are. Children with much wrong, including diarrhea, often die in Africa. Medicine is often not available or affordable. Orphans who have medical problems often have heart problems, have been blinded, a few have polio, some have TB, some have Malaria, some test Hepotitis B+, but there aren't many; the sick children become God's Angels!
-----------
It's that exclamation point at the end of the last sentence. Like, somehow, dead orphaned children who didn't get medical care or a perminant home in time are somehow something to be excited about. Like somehow it's a perfectly acceptable outcome. Those that know me know I'm pretty devout in my Jewish faith and even I would never tell someone who's lost a loved one "Hey! It's ok. They're with g-d now! PARTAY!"
