life is sweeter than jewish wine

This summer I am going to finish as many books on my ever-growing pile as possible. Today I finished this, and book club is reading this. I only have a bout 50 pages left in this. After that, I really want to read the Liveship Traders books by Robin Hobb; they have sentient boats made with wizardwood.

Also I am making cool art stuff; Laura sent me an amazing letter from Switzerland, I am papering my room with pictures of soldiers and parrots, and I am trying to consolidate my stuff into one bedroom (first world problems...).

back on the sauce

I woke up covered in crushed potato chips, with gum in my hair. Sometimes I feel so beautiful.

I'm 22 now! I got socks without dragons, the duck teapot, and Naomi gave me a shirt with sea otters.



I was thinking about the clothes I wore when I was in high school: cargo shorts, pants I literally had to duct tape together every time I washed them, pleated pants, PLEATED CUTOFFS... I also wore the same t-shirts I still wear, but that's beside the point.

I want Edwyn Collins' clothes in this video

there is studying to be done so instead i am writing in my blogs.

I learned how to post pictures!

Today I made this fakemeat sandwich:


A while ago I introduced Princess to Denver the dinosaur:


I am on a diet called not drinking beer and being too lazy to buy food, and it is working really well. Also I am doing this. Does actually owning the DVD make me more or less cool?

Back to studying. I need to learn the entire French language by Monday.

~MRS CANNON~

Now that she has sold the story to People and gotten a tattoo, I guess I can assume she is actually married. Oh, Mariah.

I always thought Mariah's music was the aural equivalent of Lisa Frank products. She says she and Nick are perfect for each other because they are both eternally 12 years old. Since I am eternally 8 or 9, I guess that explains why I JUST DON'T GET IT.

I see two early problems:
  1. Either Nick recycled Selita Eubanks' ring or Mariah bought it herself. I like to think the second is true. Still, if this was such a fairytale of a relationship, shouldn't Prince Charming be paying for it?
  2. There is apparently no prenup. Mariah, did you learn nothing from Tommy Mottola? I can see this marriage lasting more than say, a year, but after that?
I wanted to believe this was a publicity stunt, but then wouldn't Mariah cast someone higher than a C-List Nickelodeon star as her boyfriend? Either she is really in love or her brain is breaking again. I mean, it may get her a second Oprah appearance, but I am crossing my fingers that instead we get a second nervous breakdown in 5 years. I just wanted one day off when I can go swimming and eat ice cream and check out rainbows and maybe learn how to ride a bicycle.

I AM NOT H8ING! Me and Mariah go back like babies and pacifiers. I just want her to be happy, and to get 3 more number ones and beat the Beatles.
