Tonight I got to say, “Back when I was in college…”
It felt as good as it sounds.

Magnolia Shorty is dead?! Ah!
I feel like I am always the last one to know about this stuff.
Excuse me while I go bounce in her honor.

It is a warm and sunny winters day here in New Orleans.
That should be an oxymoron.
Oh I thought it was fall…I walked to work in flip-flops and a t-shirt…winter my ass!
I regret wearing stockings today.

Skywatchers observe lunar eclipse →
Special solstice lunar eclipse that only happens once every 400 years or so:
You were beautiful, but you are also the reason I slept less than 4 hours last night and can barely function today.

The fact that it is the shortest day of the year does not help. I need a nap.
Happy Solstice everyone!

Bucket List
3. Visit outer space.
Hilarious things I hear at work:
Paul:
“I love woman’s shoes.”
Shortly after:
“I love woman’s magazines.”
How bizarre.
Name of the Day:
“Hang Wang.”
True story.
These are the things that amuse me and my cohorts (coworkers) at work.
“The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions...”

I turned twenty-two this weekend.
I got to spend the weekend with most of my favorite people. I could not ask for a better gift!

If there’s a way to get noticed this spring, it’s with bold statement earrings. “They’ll boost your confidence,” says Vogue Accessories Editor Amalia Keramitsis. “They’re conversation starters that usually involve a compliment.” Whether shoulder-grazing fringe at Chanel or Louis Vuitton, or wagon-wheel-size hoops at Dolce & ...

WatchROGER WATERS ON CONAN!
The loves of my life together. Words cannot express.
“If you don’t eat your meat you can’t have any pudding!”
Amazing.
It’s 80s music day here at the hotel.
“Dreams unwind, love’s a state of mind.”

“And this time I know it’s for real
The feelings that I feel
I know if I...”

"You look like a rockstar. A fucking rockstar."
Someone said this to me today. Then proceeded to say,
“You could be the leadsinger of a band.”
When he heard me sing, however, I think his mind was changed. Well, at least I’ve got the look down!

Fascinating article about my future wife from Vogue magazine.

"Don't do it."
To amuse ourselves some coworkers and I were reading reviews of our hotels. It’s amazing what people will say when they have a bad experience at a hotel. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon this gem written by a disgruntled and unsatisfied customer:
“…not one, but 2 electric plugs within inches of the sink for your convenient electrocution…”
That gave me a good...
Hilarious things I hear at work:
“Is this against any Human Resource codes?”

And there is something right
When you can take me by...”

I have to wear approximatly seven layers of clothing to survive the winter in southern Louisiana.
I don’t know how I will ever live anywhere further from the equator and survive.

Earlier today I said, “Want to see this picture of me and my cat?”
I’m twenty-one and already a cat lady.
I missed my bus this morning. My perfect streak was ruined! And I had to wait outside for 35 minutes in 40 degree weather for the next one.
Today better be awesome.
Hilarious things I hear at work:
“Did you drug it?”
“No, not this time.”

Full Dark, No Stars
I just read this book.
I’m not sure if I have ever mentioned that I am a huge fan of Stephen King, so just so you know - I am a huge fan of Stephen King. A part of me still wants to be a writer, a career path I was once certain of. I’ve had a passion for storytelling since at least the fourth or fifth grade and I still have a lot of (what I think are) good ideas my jumbled brain....

Harry Potter and the Belated Movie Review
I never wrote about how awesome the new Harry Potter film is.
It is awesome. Times seven.
This film is probably the best of the series yet (aside from Order of the Phoenix). It was so true to the book, yet - as with all of David Yates HP films - it had a little bit of it’s own flavor. This kept it from being a boring word-for-word visual interpretation of the book while also keeping...
