I watched "the show" last night and wrote about it here. Go forth only if you want to know what a pop culture expert, who watched it eating blue corn chips and a strawberry popsicle sitting under an NFL blanket, thought of the whole shebang.

(Hi gang! It's been a while. Let's see if I remember how this works..)

I have loved Kat Von D since her early appearances on "Miami Ink." I just thought she was the bee's knees. Beautiful and talented and covered in tattoos that reflected who she was. And her makeup and hair and style? Swoon. Me, a girl who has always had a hard time expressing herself through something other than (swear) words, to me, she was the feminine ideal.

Hi - atus

I'm still here. Guilting out every day for not posting anything. This is not the death rattle of this blog. I will return. Xo

The List (Husband Edition)

These are the five guys I wanted to marry at various impressionable years of my life, so basically from the ages of 8-17. Note "marry," not "wang off," or even "make out with." I was a very good girl.

Joey McIntyre (NKOTB)
Booker
Corey Haim
Flea (RHCP)
Tim Armstrong (Rancid)

Above the train station

I took this in a mad scramble as the light turned green across from the train station. The lighting was so promising yesterday at 8:42 am - the sky was all pale blue, melon, and marshmallow.

I cannot get any thoughts together in any semblance of any kind lately. I've all but abandoned this site, save for a photo here or there. I WILL find something great or shitty to elaborate on, soon. I just need to wash this month right of of my hair. Speaking of hair, I now have enough grey running through my hair that it looks like I paid a salon for grey highlights. I knew not dying my hair wouldn't suddenly make me more gorgeous; I just didn't think I'd become a silver fox at 32. I BLAME JANUARY.

I call this one, "Can it PLEASE be Spring soon?"

Oh, the pinks and browns and blues! Ok, maybe this is from last Summer. Whatevs.

I call this one "driving to work can be beautiful."

oh-lympics

So, Vancouver, where I live, got the 2010 Olympics. I'm not a bandoliered protestor or Roots jacket wearing supporter, so I kind of forgot about them until we started looking to buy a place in 2007, and everything was suddenly 1 kajillion dollars and a set of gold teeth, because of THE OLYMPICS.

I call this one "oh jeezum, that's goooood."

Hi friends, check the remnants of OJ and gingerale. SO GOOD. Just a check-in to say I am a bad lazy person that doesn't deserve a website. Thanks for not de-bookmarking me. New stuff up tomorrow, promise. In the meantime, here's my R2AK column for today. You might want to marry it.
