Less-than-zero
Will Tumblr shut me down if my Tumblarity reaches 0? A depressing thought, but one, it appears, I should face quickly, as one would contemplate his or her impending doom.
OCD In Small Doses
Pea-sized doses, specifically. That’s what my toothpaste instructions say.
Many of you know that I am especially, spectacularly, astounding, head-and-shoulders-above-the-rest (this is the only time I can use that phrase) good at one thing, and it’s obviously not “writing as often as I should”. That’s right, it’s brushing my teeth. This may be a weird...
“How did you beat me? You have the street smarts of a cartoon princess!”
– I should go to sleep instead of watching season 2 of The Guild.
Whoa, I just said that.
Directory
I was procrastinating earlier (the true joy of any freelancer—oh look, the wrong side of 5 a.m.!) and finally flipped to the Tumblr Directory. Screw it, I thought, let’s tag this. I don’t have anything billable to be doing, right?
I went through a long list of tags that, at one point, included ‘quotes from drunk friends’, before finally deciding to do as I was told...

Web 2.Out of Control
How can I be expected to effectively stalk someone if Google hasn’t gotten the street view for his house yet? Come on, people, let’s get on the ball.
Requip, please.
Late at night, my restless leg syndrome tends to turn into restless appendage syndrome. My right arm twitches as uncontrollably, if not moreso, as my legs. I know, this is an impossibly strange thing to tumble about. But the thing is, it’s reaching that time where the arm goes full-on alien limb syndrome, and I’m really dreading it.
If you know a world-famous diagnostician who...

“I love making up quotes and attributing them to random famous people.”

It’s like you hit the button labeled ‘auto reblog’, nestled somewhere between ‘chat’ and ‘audio’.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA.
Rita Wilson—a barely legal Rita Wilson!—playing hard to get with Hawkeye on the traditional Sunday night M.A.S.H. rerun.
Is MacGruber the least funniest thing on television, or is MacGruber the least funniest thing on television?

Truth in advertising
While flipping through channels, I happened to sit through a 30-second spot for Olympic Premium Paint. It was a fairly innocuous commercial for paint, featuring everything you expect: pretty walls, pretty people, pretty people doing things in front of their pretty walls. But I have to wonder if the product is even real and, if it is, if the commercial producers knew what it was. It was touted...
“Apparently the dress code for graduation is HUGE SLUT.”

Hallucination, or new religion?
I’m on documentary 4 or 5 out of a million and day 3 of wisdom teeth recovery. Luckily for me, there is a great deal of hydrocorone involved. However, it’s this that’s tripping me up. I popped in the American Experience/Frontline documentary “the Mormons” and it is a trip all its own. Every ten minutes I would doze off into a hydro-induced haze and then shake myself...

I'm like an owl, I only sit and sleep
Wisdom teeth out, have nothing funny or insightful (though who are we kidding, insightful? Ha!) to say about experience. In other news, I am fairly certain the 45 minute surgery consisted of the doctor knocking me out and then running over my face in her car until the teeth fell out on their own. Can’t believe I paid for that.
“On the whole, it was mostly classroom instruction. And also combat, of close...”
– I put a ton of super chill documentaries on hold at the Library in preparation for getting my wisdom teeth out this morning. I have started on the first one, the Ritchie Boys, about the WWII spies and intelligence experts that were the basis for Mission: Impossible. These 10,000 soldiers were...
Monday Monday...
On Monday evening, Chuck, House, Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother all overlap. This is a high point of my week. Granted, it makes my DVR weep a little, but it’s so worth it. It’s an evening of awesome television, and it’s like it was made just for me. I watch House as it airs, then I buy Gossip Girl on iTunes and watch HIMYM and Chuck online on Tuesday morning. This is...
IDK, my BFF Spock?
Wow, I am going to hate saying this. I completely adored Star Trek. Yes, my reasons for seeing it ran between the understandable (despite overexposure, I think J’Abrams is a really cool director) and the undeniably superficial (I want to lick Chris Pine). None of my reasons had anything to do with varying degrees of fondness for the franchise in any of its manifestations. If anything, a...
“Are you awake? If you are, you should go to Barnes & Noble.”

No no no, it was “Am I awake? If so, I should be at Barnes and Noble.”
In fact, I think it was a flow chart…
Fiscal responsibility
My good friend Rebecca recently had her first child, a strange and hilarious new experience for the Hipster Queen and her band-fronting fiancee, and the past 18 months (factoring in the obligatory nine for gestation) have been a flurry of breastfeeding debates, stroller debates, car seat debates, bottle debates, crib debates, and a lot of Rebecca screaming her disdain for others. Here is what I...

Flipping through the PBS catalog to pick out which programs I want to put on hold at the Library and get on Netflix. I am the coolest person you know. Straight up.

(775): Hello Stephanie, you need to come pick me up at Par Blvrd correctional facility and bring $750-$1000 for bail. I just got a DUI. Thank you.

But your finger does…you know champagne has done its work. Here’s to hoping plastered tumblr messages don’t come back to haunt me. *ill drink to that amr*
This was 800 different kinds of a fun idea. Truly legendary.
