Midnight snack: boursin and framboise. Either pedestrian or high-brow, depending on how you want to look at your midnight snack standards.

Katherine is positively dying of writer’s block. Writer’s block when you’re doodling on cocktail napkins is one thing, but it becomes a wholy different animal when your application to graduate school at the University of Cape Town is...
It's a sin to live so well.
Wanted: Flagpole Sitta, Harvey Danger version. Used to own, now can’t find anywhere, including iTunes. If you have it, send it to me, s.v.p.

SafeSearch
For a forthcoming Tumblr post, I googled “Bros”.
And somehow, between last night and this afternoon, SafeSearch got turned off.

I have to go bleach my eyeballs and think of how I can turn this into a funnier story later.

Beethoven's Dumbest Idea
There are reasons that the following situation happened. It wasn’t just a brilliant idea to suddenly hit me, though if it were, you wouldn’t be surprised.
When the rug cleaners called on Thursday morning to tell me that they wouldn’t be dropping off the family room rug on Friday because it needed a second cleaning (this big Persian is nearly older than I am, so this comes as no...

Must be knowledgeable in varied musical genres and recognize the following bands by name and possible sound. Your level of possibility would be measured as so:
there’s a chance we might be facebook friends: the most basic Beatles (“1” or the Across the Universe...

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he wields a chainsaw.
All I’m saying is, this isn’t a quality I generally look for in an ex-boyfriend.
Screw you, iTunes
Since I woke up this morning, I’ve had a song stuck in my head that is proving to be more of a headache than anything else. I know most of the words of this song, I know I’ve heard this song countless times before, I know that I must own this song because I can picture myself singing it at the top of my lungs in my car. However, I can’t figure out for the life of me what the song...
Hey, PracticallyNeutral!
If you see a message with the subject line TOP SECRET - YOUR EYES ONLY - DON’T TELL MOM - TOP SECRET please take it very seriously as it is obviously official Rhoades sibling correspondence. Open it immediately.
While watching Slumdog again, I notice that the blue roofs peppered through the slums look much like the pools of SoCal from the air.
Lies, all lies.
Anne Marie: So what are you and Seth watching for Valentine's?
Katherine: We're watching 'He loves me, he loves me not' and "Paris Je T'aime"

K: No...
K: Not that one.
K: That one is called...

I could make a huge list so I will stick to my last year’s favorites, (with the exception of Amelie which is older, but is a MUST see. If you haven’t yet, watch it ASAP !) :
“Persepolis” -Marjane Satrapi

I’m not kidding. IMDB told me so.
Entrepreneurial opportunities
Stephanie and I are discussing Alley Guy and the non-possibility of an encore.
Me: I wish there was a way to let a guy know you don't want to date, you just want to fool around a few nights of the week.
Me: Maybe I could put it on a shirt.
Stephanie: I dare you.
Me: "Wanted: A guy to fool around with on even-numbered days, little emotional involvement. Inquire within."
Stephanie: ..."within my BRA!"
Me: Obvi, that would be on the back.
Stephanie: You'd be on your back.

I think my old friend David Lindell had something to do with this.
FAIL.
Awesome copy, great typography, catchy concept.
Call to action? Check. Save yourself the calories and give $5 to buy safe water for 1 person for 20 years. Enabling action? FAIL.
COME ON, guys. You absolutely cannot think that the entirety of your marketing success is based on the (albeit awesome) video service...
