I have to come up with a bold, celebratory outfit for a funeral. Sparkles? Stripes? Yellow? Might dig out the PBR earings from that halloween costume a few years ago. Those would be appropriate. Yesah, guy. Definitely not wearing black. This is NOT that kind-o-fun-er-al.
Received unexpected news today. My heart is heavy.

“It feels good to say, “douchebag.”
– johnmayer.com I couldn’t agree more. Douchebag has been on my tongue regularly in months of late. Not because I think lots of people ARE douchebags… i just love to say the word. DOUCHEBAG! (For some reason Tumblr isn’t including the rest of the quote, but JM goes on to describe...

Kinda like zefrank but hiphop and not. I’m totally, TOTALLY feeling this guy. Go wander if you want, but if you want some direction, this one made me laugh and think. iPhones and Churches (Part 1)
WatchNatalie, Natalie, Natalie. This is some funny shit. I’ve been waiting to expore Hulu, and I finally got an invite. It’s good (whatever, i don’t feel like embellishing)… but I can’t wait for the gaps in my favorite shows to be filled (ie- Project Runway).
WatchFor all those Christmas wishes and misses and shit like that. I just wanted to dig out Santa. And by “dig out Santa,” I mean slap his ass.
My autobiography will be called ‘Reading Too Much Into It’. — lonelysandwich No! That’s me!
Yachting: Days Gone Bye
When sailing, Pop wears a stiff wing collar, smokes a pipe. “The pipe is my wind gauge,” he says. “On a mild day, a change of wind may be barely perceptible but when the smoke changes on the old pipe, I can trim her in and save perhaps 50 feet. To get the benefit of every little breeze on a mild day, I smoke until my throat is sore. For a septuagenarian, Pop Corry is unusually...

Perez Hilton was suspended from YouTube and he wants to know why. LOL.
I finally got around to attempting to do the imap switch with gmail and apparently i’m doing something wrong; my inbox is out of control with spam and mulitple emails. It sucks. I might have to return to the pop land unless i can make sense of this chaos soon.

Today it snowed. All. Day. Long. I stayed in, cozy like and sat by the fire eating mozzarella and cherry tomatos. I’m still in my pajamas. Productivity resumes on Monday.

The night’s final absurdity came at the evening’s close, when a UNLV student was given the microphone and asked Hillary Clinton whether she preferred diamonds or pearls. Sitting in the audience, I was among those who thought her idiotic inquiry shamed both herself and her university. Yet it turns out I was being unfair. As she later explained on her MySpace page, she had been planning...
