wearing socks with coffee cups on them while drinking coffee

it's raining men! hallelujah! it's raining men!

okay, so maybe not, but i do love that song. on the other hand, i am finally getting paid on work i did this year. what happens when people have the wrong address for you? you sweat it out and make phone calls until your check comes in the mail. then you go to the financial aid office (i'm a college student again!) and beg for more money until they give it to you. and they say the economy is in a recession. pffft.

not many plans for the weekend. i have a work call to get ready for the big theatre party next weekend. book club is on sunday and i don't even know what i've read yet. it was probably some geeky thing about socio-whatnot, and goodness knows i have to read a lot more of that for my classes. (did i mention that i'm a college student?) funny how i actually like reading again. surely karl marx and plato will kill that urge.

i still feel off-kilter. it still feels good. no word on a new job yet, but i'm looking around to see what's out there. with my checks coming in, i can breathe until something comes along. our garage sales days are over. holly and jenny and me gave it one more shot and then just started giving stuff to the library and such. honestly, i really liked giving things away as much as i liked selling them. there is an idealist left in me yet! it stamps "sucker" on my head in magical disappearing/reappearing ink. only you can see it - i never can.

PROJECT RUNWAY!!! yes, i did slug out on the sofa with junk food and lifetime television for women all last night while letting out little squeals of joy. i still hate santino and think he's a total hack. i still adore the cackling chris march with a fervor. and yes, i watched tim gunn on the daily show as well. you can also know that he really is that sweet! i met him once in seattle and he was a complete charmer. he has excellent posture, a beautiful demeanor, and he smells nice. we heart tim gunn. as for the newbies, i'm still forming an opinion. but i'm sure mary and i will have a three hour tour of analysis over them.


the most disappointing thing i bought at the grocery store:
the organic pancake mix in a whipped cream can. sounds stupid? it was. while the idea of it was hilarious and made me impulse buy, the reality of it was dry and crunchy. the stuff was even worse in the waffle iron. i don't care what shopsmart says - don't bother.

I've wanted to try the pancake mix in a can. Its good to know a trustes source has confirmed my worst fears- it's crap. Poo.

I, too, have heard about he pancake mix in a whipped cream can. Just thinking about it makes the skin between my eyebrows pucker.

You need to call me so we can talk about PR! What did you think of Daniel's collection? And are you as worried about Chris March's health as I am? And are you happy or disappointed that Little Miss Wackypants got kicked off right away?

yes, the pancake mix made me sad. i really WANTED it to be a fun thing to make! and squirting the batter was a fun thing, but once i flipped the pancake and gave it a little tap, it just deflated like a bad souffle. hmph. must be the fact that the ingredients don't list any milk.
