hmm, what does it say about you when the bartender opens the bar for you after the doors are locked…?
Here, There, and Everywhere - Beatles →
I prefer this song as an instrumental, but only because I already know the lyrics…probably one of my favorite love songs. aw… I tend toward the odd keys or meters for favorite Beatles—this one, If I Fell, etc. I just read that the lead vocals on this are not Lennon and McCartney, but are just Sir Paul, double-tracked.
I want her everywhere and if she’s beside me I know I...
Okay, so last week I called Seacrest a douche.
Contestant on American Idol came out of his audition, distraught that none of the judges liked him. His family and friends waited for him. His mom rushed to hug and comfort him. A-hole with too-groomed eyebrows: Don’t touch me! Seacrest, with what seemed to be a kneejerk reaction: You can’t talk that way to your mother.
it was quiet, but I heard you Ryan! I know you lean too much...
“I’ll try and explain how this felt. Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard....”
– Greatest ever letter of complaint (via aja) (via staceycoleman)
I am crying, laughing so hard at the whole letter.
Watchhere’s the original if you are clueless about donkeys and goats.
Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.
Watch hey donkey!
(hope this works…can’t access the actual video from work computer)
sometimes I think—nah, I don’t care what others think of me.
but if that were actually true, and I didn’t have an influence from society, I would eat cereal and/or ice cream for every meal, shower every few days, and watch Rock of Love (all incarnations including Charm School) to my heart’s content.
Falling Down.
caught this movie for the 10th time. it’s prob my favorite Michael Douglas movie (should anyone ask me to name one).
this reminded me that when I feel like I’m going to crack, it’s probably not as bad as this guy’s day was. maybe I should get my glasses fixed though, just so they don’t look like his.
“an empty seat learns no English.”
– ESL (English as a Second Language) coordinator at the church where I volunteer/ed (will pick up again in March). I get an average of 5 emails a day about disputes over the best way to teach and organize ESL. in the end the goals are met and everyone loves each other, but the road there is bumpy,...

“As I picked up the box in store I thought “Man, this is a little light…I hope that this product lives up to the hype.” I purchased my unit, and hurried home to see my results. I swiftly assembled the antenna and placed it in my attic. I could barely contain my excitement/nervousness as I connected the coaxial into my digital converter box and started my scan. I watched...
Woman killed when tire lands on top of car →
(via dewster)
weird…when I drove down to visit my parents for a weekend last year, I was almost to their exit when a huge tire came out of (seemingly) nowhere and bounced across 81. I remember in a split second telling myself not to panic—and as soon as I thought that, it was like everything slowed down, and I was playing a video game, swerving slowly, as if to the Blue Danube Waltz....
KelsBels tells me that sometimes she reads my tumblr and doesn’t get what I posted. I told her (and I think I posted a while ago) that if it doesn’t make sense, it’s probably a quote or lyric of some sort. I’m writing this b/c I just realized that in my last post, I referenced a show from the 80s (Quantum Leap), a cartoon from the 60s/70s/80s (Jetsons), and a movie from the...
I hope my next leap will be the leap home.
seriously Jane, get me off this crazy thing.
called…love?

that’s from an email I sent to my mom last night. Apparently I forgot to send the first part of the email, the one that told her I was thinking about taking a CPA review class in NYC, and that Greyhound was an option.
I’m sure she’s picturing a bus full of Jewish and Chinese people, and wondering what I have to do with it, instead of the $30 bus that picks up in Rosslyn.

yes, yes I did.
C’EST DELICIOSO.
tvchick:
Sam just said (on-air) that Aretha was wearing “Modest Headgear”
we watched on a b&w TV, and I wondered what color the hat was, so I turned on my phone TV…and lo and behold it didn’t look any better than in b&w.

And just like that.. it begins.
Beautiful
damn that was fast!
tvchick:
Get ready to see the Mikes - Belinkie and Webb - Navy Sea Chanters up next!
I know—I just told everyone at work about them. you could see Belinkie front and center—didn’t see Webb though. also…the IT guys couldn’t get the stream to work right, so 20 people were hunched over my B&W 4” tv, including my boss and the owner.
dewster:
Still in line. Everyone is singing american pie. Oh now it’s imagine.
please, PLEASE keep posting throughout the day.
budgets...Hindi...zoos...pillbox?
Yesterday I took another section of the CPA exam. Not getting excited though since the scores aren’t out until March and I can’t handle a big letdown.
Hmm, but it affected my dreams last night:
Answering multiple choice questions- the answer was always “investigating variances in a formal budgeting system.” No matter what the question was.
Answer MC questions as if I was the contestant on...
my dvr arrives this week, so excited. next purchase is a TV, but I think that will have to wait a while.
[uh, I meant a NEW tv, that would be silly to have a DVR w/o a tv]
I got rabies for learnin’!

I think I was blaming new bff@w for introducing me to vanilla vodka and root beer. soooo good, like a float!
tick tock, you don't stop.
this week, for prob the 5th time, my boss (mother of 7) told me that if I don’t have a kid/ not married by age 39, I should go to a clinic and get knocked up. one of her reasons is that tall people are better, so I should have kid that will be superior to others.
my usual reply is that I don’t seem to have that bio-clock thingy (one time I thought I heard it ticking, but it turned...

Elizabeth is currently controlling Deborah Messing with a voodoo doll. You are next.
Elizabeth is currently uploading that “home movie” of yours onto the internet. That’s right…..THAT movie. The one she found in your nightstand when she “accidentally” fell into your open window last week when you were not at...
bored.
i didn’t want to work for a moment, and kept thinking about my comments about PA and the abundance of private schools. so…i took a few minutes and figured out, that out of the 30 people in my extended family who have a college degree (to include grandparents, aunts, uncles, first cousins only), 15 graduated from a PA private school. half! my family were the only ones that ever lived...
I am currently in an email discussion with gbf@w about scallops and clams.
in the middle of this discussion he is sending me statuses I can use on Facebook. I told him that people on Facebook put their real status, like “Denise took the kids to the zoo!” but that I want to put odd things like “Liz is watching you in your house. Seriously, look out the window.” I just...
Did you know that some states have a state shell? →
“She got into her safety school… JMU!”
– Overheard in my office… a correspondent talking to a producer about his daughter’s college acceptions so far… she’s still waiting to hear from whatever her first choice school is.
Should I feel like a second-class citizen since JMU was my FIRST choice???
I was such a brave-ass that I didn’t even...

well, tvchick, did you?!
What a let down
leecoleman:
I spent the last five hours thinking it was Friday and that I was going get off after lunch. I’m so pissed.
don’t worry, today’s Friday. a Van Damme Friday!
my pants keep falling down, much like my enthusiasm for my job.
I appreciate that the Today Show is depicting the plane landing in the Hudson, but the scale of their reenactment will confuse people…the plane was almost the width of the river. if so, the geese in the video would be GIGANTIC.
also, they keep saying bird strike or attack, as if the birds planned this. also also, I think there’s a larger problem at Reagan, or maybe JFK- a bird...
