a lesson in procrastination

Not long ago, I promised a friend a set of these cards. They were made but never actually mailed. Instead, they just sat in my desk for well over two months, waiting for the day Dana would drop them off at the post office.

Last week we had an exterminator come and wreak havoc on our German cockroach infestation (no really, you kids ever seen Creepshow?)-as well as our belongings. The cards, covered with a thick, toxic film of god-knows-what, were not ruined but definitely unfit to send out. If I had just mailed the stationary in the first place. . .

So here is the tile I am mailing in leau of scat cat greeting cards. I hope it is sufficient enough. I mean, I think it would fit nicely in the kitchen or hall of a home, don't you?

la cucaracha

Never have I ever, ever seen bug guts this pretty. I mean-really-that blue is bright.


also: I got this reallyreallyreally rad brooch from Meredith. I cannot wait to wear it around my neck and in my hair.

house show

some peekchas (courtesy of Adrian) from the house show we had last weekend with Say Brother, Dream Diary and Mermaids. A sweaty and awesome time-a definite summer highlight. There are some Polaroids floating around my bedroom but I'm just too l a z y and technologically inept to scan 'em. Soon. They also gave me this really cool shirt that I need to take in/hem/do something to because it's absolutely massive on me.

After everyone went home, some of the Mermaids watched Jurassic Park while the rest of us just rolled around laughing until daybreak. That rug is so comfortable.

A Very Shoney's Birthday

We went to Shoney's buffet for Allie's birthday. We had planned on doing this since February. The buffet could have been better (we're definitely going to Ryan's next time), but-man-do they know how to sing for birthdays. Everyone who works there claps for you and marches in with a huge sundae. It's almost terrifying how choreographed the experience is-I recommend it.

...let's excuse my poor photography and call this the "action shot:"



ugh. did anyone else notice how I said "happy friday" in my last post, and it was most certainly not Friday yet? 'Cause I just did. .

happy friday, e'rybody.

Tonight, Atlanta band, Mermaids, is playing at my house. I'm veryveryvery excited and I think it'll be a lot of fun. So if you live in the area, come to Cypress Hill for veggie burgers and music.

. . . also, here are some things that I find super funny right now:*

This Kenny Powers K-Swiss advertisement:


Dogville Shorts (thanks Adrian)


Whitney Houston Infernal (Thanks, Jack). You have to watch this whole video: completely crazy, but completely worth it. The more I watch this video, the more I lean towards the idea of claiming this performer as a hero-seriously amazing; and yet, watching this still evokes memories of the first time I saw the Goddess Bunny.
