This is how I've spent my day so far:

Following the Tracie and Moe/Shoot the Messenger controversy all over the internets. I am linking to Tracie's version as she was the one who experienced it firsthand and her take on it should preceed the secondhand takes on it on other blog entries (of which there are quite a few. google it).

Pining for this job: Icing Intern (thanks for telling me about this site, erin h. you are a total dollface. and i already drank all of the beers you left in my fridge!).

Following the Michael Ian Black/David Sedaris controversy, but mostly just reading MIB's website and laughing my ass off. His is a good daily read. So is Mo Rocca's blog.

Getting creeped out by Oklahoma Craigslist Missed Connections postings . Eep! Why would someone you made eye contact with for two seconds while driving on some random street / visiting a grocery store / jogging around a lake remember you? Man, people are narcissistic. When I was a hostess at Outback Steakhouse when I was 18, a really cute guy told me one night that I looked hot. How much of a shot do you think I have of finding him on Craiglist Missed Connections? *snortlaugh*
Sidenote: Last week I wrote a Missed Connection of my own that said: "You people are creepy." It was nearly instantly flagged and removed. Haha.

Trying to whittle down my 28 page Amazon Wishlist. It was 29 pages, so I'm calling PROGRESS. I'm hoping to get it down to a manageable size in order to send out to friends for my approaching birthday (COUGHaugust5thCOUGH).

And finally: I have been shifting uncomfortably in my seat for the last four hours due to a mega sunburn. Woo! What a day! Anything fashion related has fallen by the wayside today. Mea culpa, my friends, mea culpa.

But isn't it lovely when you do the comeback? It's like your brain has been revamped during the blog-out and you suddenly have these fresh incredible ideas you absolutely have to share with everyone? ;) I hope you took serious care of that sunburn! I got my 2 weeks ago and it was a total mess! We had sunscreen and everything but we bathed so much that the sunscreen just watered away...

Found your blog through a link on the Nylon Facebook group. Love your mention of Portia & Ellen the other day. And I'm gonna be the Icing intern, so look out! (Actually, I can't because I'm not in NYC. Sad.)

Oh, and I'd love if you checked out my blog. I Just started so it's kinda iffy yet, but whatever...
