two favorites

"During my most recently controlled near-death experience, I got to interview William Shakespeare. We did not hit it off. He said the dialect I spoke was the ugliest English he had ever heard, 'fit to split the ears of groundlings.' He asked if it had a name, and I said 'Indianapolis.'" ~ Kurt Vonnegut

I have been ridiculously social this summer. And yes, ridiculous is the correct term to describe it.

After weeks of rushing from one engagement to the next (to be honest, loving all of them), I had a social breakdown where I went on a double date and was the most awful creature imaginable. No really-- hardly talked to my date, let alone the other couple. It was mortifying, watching myself ooze through the night, a blob of social unacceptability.

So after running a marathon on Saturday morning, I (mostly) took the the weekend off and shut myself up with two books, which I read cover to cover in a few different baths. This might have also been because I was unable to walk, but either way, it was much needed.

...I started this post because I wanted to talk about Super 8 but instead...just talked about myself. I guess I can sum up Super 8 with a few words:

Go. See. It.

Honestly. You like Goonies? Now and Then? ET? Okay, I hate ET but hate/love ET, you'll like this movie. I screamed. I laughed (so much). I cried.

Oh and just FYI, this is the rest of my week schedule:
T: D&D, dinner, Midnight in Paris
W: Strawberry Days Rodeo
Th: Leave for a roadtrip to Seattle for the rest of the weekend

The socialite is back.

take it back Brad

Were there more Cool Ranch chips in a bag when I was a youth or was my stomach just smaller then?


Ah, elusive youth. No matter how many trips to the zoo we take, slurpees we drink, and overpriced little bags of chips we buy, we'll never have you back again.

snack attack

Ghetto phone was running a little slowly so I went to delete some photos. This is when I realized that I like to take pictures of my snacks.
Weird.
Weird weird weird.

So of course I'm sharing them. Can you guess which day I hadn't slept?




It's gonna be another Coke day tomorrow.

Shakespeare High


"...Falling in love with Shakespeare....It really changed my life."  - Tosh Hall


Don't miss this documentary.  Even if you think Shakespeare is overrated or too high falutin', just watch it for the kids.

(Oscar and Tosh, presenting a portion of Midsummer Night's Dream.)
