Sure, last weekend I watched a guy step between subway cars to take a leak, but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
I love the activity, the action, the diversity. This isn’t an easy place to live, but I love it. And no, we’re no as rude as everyone thinks we are. We just don’t have time for your nonsense.
Tell me, my loves, what’s great about your town?

Ladies if you ever get the chance to see Lyle Lovett in concert, GO! Tonight was beyond awesome.
Y’all. I just got back from a week-long kayaking trip in Washington DC on the Potomac. It was AMAZING. It was put on by a non-profit for young adult cancer survivors and damn – can I just say we throw down hard? Cause yeah. We killed the river for four days and bonded for six. Not nearly as happy to be home as I usually am after vacation. I want to go again! Next time? I think I’ll go with rock climbing!
It’s move in day at my college and it feels a little weird not to be moving in, but also feels good at the same time. Also I didn’t get the job I interviewed for this week.
Selena! SallyJ! Liza! Did you guys see this?

I did, and they’re all wrong, because the answer is clearly Allison Janney.
Wait, that’s a different Twitter convo, this is the best. I want them to be my friends.
Our YT play list started with Aerosmith – Jaded. An hour later (passing Foo Fighters, TLC, Michael Jackson and Eminem) we’re on No Doubt now. Damn this is addicting.
Oh WOW! I, Nightshade Sparkle Reins, have at long last, discovered Scandal! It’s the assassination episode and the first episode I’ve seen and OHMYGOODNESSOHMYGOODNESSOHMYGOODNESSOHMYGOODNESS!
Scandal is SO GOOD.
Does anyone else get chronic migraines? I just woke up from taking my meds for one, and I’m starting to realize that the side effects from the meds can be as bad as the actual migraine itself.
Related: migraines are evil.
YAY P-MAG.
It has been crankiness week at work (not me cranky, EVERYONE I WORK WITH cranky). Sure, the last few weeks have been exceptionally hectic — we’ve had tax-free weekend AND move-in weekend AND lots of people ordering their textbooks and computers and either picking those up or having them shipped AND we’re getting tons of textbooks and merchandise that need to be available NAO, and a lot of people have been on full-weeks-plus-partial-weekends and are just damn TIRED. And cranky. But it’s the weekend and it’s time for certain people named ME to knit and watch movies/tv shows on netflix and not wear pants.
And I am gauging for a new coffee-mug-sleeve and watching LOST. And having one last cup of coffee for the day.
Was it a full moon this week? Because there was crankier-than-usual levels at my job, too. I’m hanging out in bed with my coffee all day. No crankiness here except me and the dogs.
I’m pretty sure it was, actually.
Plus I work in the university bookstore and it was the first week of classes. SO MANY PEOPLE.
Yup. Wednesday night. I only know because I worked it and it was nuts.
No, it’s cool. I’ll just be over here sobbing for a while.

Part of me is thinking “But what if they’re afraid of the balloons?” while 75% tries not to sob.
They don’t look too afraid of the balloons. It’s hard to tell because my vision gets all fuzzy when I watch that.
None of them looked very impressed or confused. My previous dog would have freaked, she could barely bear having a collar.
This week has been such a roller coaster.
So Elementary is filming outside of my parents’ building on Monday. A building where everyone has Time Warner. So they won’t be able to actually watch the episode being filmed unless this temper tantrum ends.
GO STALK LUCY LIU. REPORT BACK.

Apologies for blatant site plug, but I saw the copy/paste option and I couldn’t resist trying it out. Sorry if it looks weird.
I’m in New Orleans and I love it.
The food is fantastic, I can order a Pineapple Amaretto Daiquiri and drive away with it, and when I leave work on the weekend I often hear live jazz music being played.
It’s hotter than hell, and I could live without the giant cockroaches, but the food and the people more than make up for it.
Please to eat some beignet for me!
Will do.
I had some beignet bread pudding recently and it was soooo ridiculously good.
Happy Birthday!
Replied to the wrong comment! No more beer for me…
