it’s friday and, as usual, my brain is all over the place. is this my fault? well, given the fact that i’ve conditioned my brain to digest a piece of the internet every 5.6 seconds and that i’ve been trying to do school work and office work at the same time, probably. ok, yes. it is my fault.
what whatevs!! it’s friday! you’re supposed to be wacky on friday’s! that’s why TGIF exists! and i don’t mean the phrase, i mean the chain of all-american restaurants.
anyway, a couple of things, from my ADHD brain to yrs.
IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY: did you know that starbucks is ALREADY SERVING THEIR XMAS DRINKS?!!!! i went in to the union to buy a latte before my 6:30 PM zzzz class, and the holiday menu was up on the wall! so long, pumpkin spice lattes! i’m glad i had one whole day of “autumn” with which to enjoy you! cos now that it’s november, guess what? NO ONE CARES. all we want is XMAS XMAS XMAS.
the funny thing about this is that i’m a super cray cray christmas person. many of you know this. and if you don’t, just wait until my “top holiday cookies” entry and my “how to pack 160 ornaments on yr tiny tree” entry. seriously. but still. even with my insane love for red and green glittery decorations and my “felice navidad” yankee candle, i think it’s a wee bit early for peppermint mochas. corporate america, show some restraint!! if i, little old sarah pants, can refrain from listening to xmas music (which i LOVE LOVE LOVE OMG) until december 1 (WHICH I WILL DO. BECAUSE I HAVE WILL POWER), then i think you should be able to wait until we are at least half-way through november before you start trying to shovel gingebread lattes into my mouth.
and yes, on occasion, i have listened to xmas music in non-december months. but it was only cos i was feeling particularly low, not because i was trying to get someone to buy something. ok? sheesh.
also, i admit that i enjoyed once again holding the red starbucks cup as opposed to the regular white one. GAH I AM SO EVIL. i can’t help myself.
you know what’s even worse than starbucks jumping the gun? THIS GUY’S TATTOO. i’m sorry, i can’t bring myself to post the picture on my blog. it’s just… really, really unnecessary (but it IS safe for work, so you should click on it. and then spend a few hours hating me). if you love cats, though, you may not want to look. well, actually, if you love cats, you may not find this tattoo shocking at all. so yeah, go ahead!
continuing on the gross yet hilarious (in my mind) theme, you should check out this clip of two ladies (V. LOOSE USE OF THE TERM) on judge judy. they got in a fight and one of them bit the other one’s pinky finger off. like, whoah. WHOAH. they say adrenaline gives you the power to do extraordinary things but COME ON. that is just g to the ross.
now that i’ve sufficiently disgusted you with yr own human race, allow me to direct you to david bowie’s hotass mugshot from 1976. we all know that david bowie is actually some sort of human/alien hybrid, so it makes sense that his mugshot would only highlight his impossibly delicate and superfine features. seriously, if you happened toget arrested in rochester in march 25th, 1976, you were LUCKY. lucky lucky lucky.
and then there’s this picture of apple martin, looking incredibly adorable and (almost) completely erasing the image of that tattoo from my mind.
actually, i think she might be thinking about that tattoo.
what i can’t seem to make myself forget, however, is the fact that HARRY POTTER HAS A GIRLFRIEND!! and i am WAY hotter than she is. GAH. this is so UNFAIR. i mean, it’s easy when, say, justin timberlake dates jessica biel, cos she is totally bangin’. but when harry potter decides to date someone who looks like a regular, normal girl? it’s like the universe is mocking me!! it’s because i’m a muggle, isn’t it, harry? ISN’T IT? (sob).
ok, let’s focus on some good news. josh sent me this website, which rates the reading level of any blog, and guess what? my blog is extremely accessible!!! it’s open to everyone, regardless of race or creed. just like america! and when i say “accessible,” i mean that it is written on an elementary school reading level. which is weird, cos i haven’t mentioned paste, crayons or recess in a while. but i do think elementary school kids are super cute, and therefore i am honored by this analysis.
and finally, before you go out this weekend, i recommend viewing this video from my favorite rock star, leslie hall. watch and learn.
ok, i gotta go pour the body glitter on cos I NEVER HESITATE!
We already have two houses in our neighborhood with xmas lights and inflatable decorations up. The wreath at the sign in the front went up immediately after halloween. I get kinda pissed that my home owner’s dues pay for the upkeep of decorations that are out for two months when they would last twice as long if they were only up for one month. I can understand that they are putting lights in the trees downtown already, cause it does take some time to wrap all of those nice and neat around the trunks and branches, but hanging a wreath takes all of like 10 minutes (it is a fairly large wreath).
APPARENTLY, I live really close (five minutes? give or take) to where Harry Potter’s girlfriend works.
I might need yoghurt. Or rice. Or whatever she sells.
She really does look extremely normal.
Apparently my school blog is an elementary reading level and my photography blog is a high school reading level.
I love Leslie, thanks for posting that.
And Potter’s girlfriend looks like a muggle…so I just think it’s because Harry hasn’t been to the states yet and met you Sarah that he is with her instead. Patience, he will apparate to Texas one day…right?
Hey here, everything is already about Christmas. It made me really grateful for Thanksgiving (which, sadly, this year I will spend ON A TRAIN to the least American country ever: Belgium… boo), which keeps the Christmas-promoters at bay at least a bit more.
I am listening to Christmas music, Winter Wonderland by the Ray Conniff Singers to be exact, as I read your blog. I just love it cause it does make you feel better. But I only got to have one Pumpkin Spice Latte too and that makes me sad that Starbucks has already taken them away before Thanksgiving has had a chance to grace us with its presence. Hmmm, Bah Humbug. No wait! I take it back, I take it back! Christmas is the best!
