December 2009
Possible moment of foolishness: buying a spring coat in Canada in December. It’s like I want to have it just sitting in my closet, taunting me with how nice it would be to just throw something on and run out of the house. Instead, I’ve got six more months of careful layering and wrapping myself in about three scarves.
Still. Joe Fresh!
MEGABUS
I’ve been a train snob for the past few months, so when various circumstances forced me to take a bus yesterday, I’ll admit, I whined about it a bit. But I didn’t realize how intensely awful Megabuses are. Remember those normal-sized buses? I really liked those. I could easily sleep on those. Instead we have MEGABUS, destroyer of lives.
Pro: free wifi! Freeeee! And it worked...
““But these past few days—yeeuuulff. Whatever lightweight emotional armor I...”
– finslippy perfectly explains the way I’ve felt for the past three days. I’m not sad, it’s just that everything makes me cry in a way things usually don’t.

Infatuated with your blog, I’am :]
I don’t think I’ve ever met another Danny Kaye fan, so clearly I am equally infatuated with yours!

It’s fairly illogical to measure life successes on a year to year basis. I mean, obviously I do it (and will forever state that 2007 was the worst year of my life, bar none). But life doesn’t do any stopping and starting over New Years. You have the same friends and the same job and live in the same place, but because your life events are so often separate from those facts, years get...

I don’t understand poetry, but I know that I miss old Rummy. The man has such a way with words.

And also for reminding me how attractive Christopher Plummer was when he sang Edelweiss. So passionate about those flowers.
He didn’t really do the singing. They dubbed in another singer’s voice. Sorry if that’s really disappointing to hear. It was for me when I went on the Sound of Music tour in Austria and our guide told us that.
Holy cats! That’s really...

Nothing will ever make you feel worse about yourself than trying to find dress pants that fit. I own three pairs that fit me last winter. They are all too small. All my other clothing still fits me, but suddenly the pants have revolted.
Whatever, I’m just wearing skirts all the time now, like that girl on Project Runway Canada.

– Well this is fairly old news (last week, gasp!) I’d like to nominate this for best protesters’ chant of the decade.

My sister has discovered the voice activation on her iPhone by accident.
“Play music.”
“No music is playing. Play song?” the iPhone robot voice responds.
“Yes!”
A random Bollywood song comes on. We all stare at her, fairly mystified by this new technology.
“Who is this song by?”
“Playing song by Coldplay”
“I don’t want...
How to know you are really tired.

See a tumblr name: jesuisperdu and read it as jesusisperdu, and laugh to yourself thinking, “haha, jesus is lost, that’s a clever tumblr, I wonder if he’s hiding behind the couch…oh. Stupid.”
I always read it “Jesus! Perdu!” It’s a pretty awesome Tumblr name.

Welcome to the part of the evening where l’m standing in a snowy driveway, singing Fievel’s song. In harmony. With myself.
Somewhere out there ….
Things that make me cry, every time: this song, this movie, sad mice in general.

I’m singing the Meow Mix theme song* and my sister is dancing to it. We are the cutest.

Why did the cookie go to the hospital?
Because he felt crummy! Har har har.
Christmas crackers have the best jokes. Also, the best hats.
