this little light of mine/i will shove it down your throat, praise JESUS!

I saw The Exorcist when I was nine.
I was afraid of the dark for years after that.
I saw 28 Days Later when I was nineteen.
I could not sleep alone for a week.
Thus far in my twenty-some years of movie watching,
these have been the only two films
that have scared the living daylights out of me.

the new billy joel kinds sucks. but i went to florida, so who cares.

Damon, in one sweeping romantic gesture, carried me off to West Palm Beach for the weekend.
[I mean, I knew it was coming,  because he told me like, two weeks ago, but still.]

We rented a compact car…a Corolla, but when we got into town my window wouldn’t function.  And why, when you’re escaping -23483 degree weather, [...]

HAPPY VD!

I GOT SUM JEWL-RAY!

BLINGIN’!
Also, I am very proud of my Valentine’s Day gifts this year:

We are always watching Good Eats and Alton Brown is one of Damon’s heroes, even after that one sex dream I had about him.

Obligatory Stream of Consciousness Post, due to Barometric Pressure.

On this, the day of my dentist appointment, I received a letter that stated that my Lithuanian dentist no longer works at Gentle Dentist.
Boo.Anyway. As I had feared, I was advised to have my bottom two wisdom teeth extracted.  Luckily, they have not yet sprouted roots, so if I get it taken care of relatively [...]

…Lindsay Lohan covers Stevie Nicks’ Edge of Seventeen on her most recent album.  I wish I could have known this earlier so as to have a much timelier laugh at it.
…My wisdom teeth are wreaking havok in my mouth.  Getting smarter hurts!  I have an appointment with my Lithuanian dentist tomorrow, and I fear that she will [...]

I’ve got four months and ten days.

My friend Toby has the theory that all cute babies turn into ugly adults.
But seriously, look at this bumpkin!

(Some people say I am photogenic.  I say that I was the subject of my dad’s portrait hobby from the day I could feasibly sit up on my own.)
Anyway. This photograph came from a mini-scrapbook of sorts that I took with [...]

drunk and wearing flip-flops on fifth avenue

Me, Jody, and Rufus.
One year, three months, three weeks, and two days ago, Jody and I saw Rufus Wainwright in Ann Arbor. We fucking MET him. Here is the proof, taken on a disposable camera and scanned with my cheap-ass scanner which I got on discount for fifteen bucks.

Oh. Hi.
That was just me trying to get out the STEW that I accidentally dropped into my keyboard.
