I just tried to do an interpretive dance explaining the life of Charlie Sheen for Sara and it resulted in me falling on my face and busting my knee on a door frame.
WINNING!
February 2011
Tomorrow night Bird’s Cafe on Franklin (pretty much right next to UCB) is going to be holding a fundraiser for one of their bartenders who recently lost part of her house to a mudslide. Ed and I will definitely be in attendance, as well as Sara, who works there. All you need to do to help out is buy a drink, which you’ll probably be doing somewhere tomorrow night anyway. Might as well do it to help out a really nice lady, right?
Hope to see you there!
Two movie recs for y’alls:
Cyrus: Watched this last night and couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it yet or even really heard much about it. That’s my movie, guys. So good. I think Shannon might have been the one to tell me about it. I think I may have overly related to the storyline (I too had a single mom whose boyfriends I would occasionally try to chase away), but I think everyone would enjoy it. So funny, so well acted. I really think Marisa Tomei has the best eyelash game ever. John C. Reilly was so perfect and there was one scene with a song that’s very important to his character and I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s so real.
Never Say Never: I did it. I saw it tonight with Sophia. You guys, what a treat. Justin Bieber is VERY talented and while I’m not entirely sure I can do 3D because I have a lazy eye, I didn’t get sick or anything. Best part: At the very end of the movie, like 4 of 8 people in the theater stood up and clapped and sang along. Everyone was really feelin’ it. Good Bieber vibes. See it in the theater.
texas set to allow guns on college campuses →

This is outrageous, but this:
Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who sometimes packs a pistol when he jogs, has said he’s in favor of the idea.
Jogging with a gun? I feel like that’s something I would expect from a frail and dramatic college girl from a conservative upper class family who likes to jog around the reservoir near her university’s campus late at night, not a man with man strength who is old and probably goes to bed at 9:30 PM.
Also?
“It’s strictly a matter of self-defense,” said Republican state Sen. Jeff Wentworth. “I don’t ever want to see repeated on a Texas college campus what happened at Virginia Tech, where some deranged, suicidal madman goes into a building and is able to pick off totally defenseless kids like sitting ducks.”
But that’s what campus cops are for! You can’t spot the crazies when everyone’s walking around with guns. That used to be the identifying trait of a crazy person! You see them acting weird and suspicious, you take ‘em down to the station, you find them carrying a gun and then you KNEW that person’s unstable, right? Now they have nothin’ on ‘em. They get to go home with their gun.
And like, I don’t know about you guys, but I was drunk a lot in college and so were all of my friends. Five dollars for a cup at the door, man. That’s cool, that’s what college is all about (beside learning.) Sometimes we’d get so drunk that there would be INSANE fights that were mad passionate because we were all up each other’s ass all the time.
I’m really glad that none of us had were allowed to have guns, I have to say. I’m really glad. Plus, that was just my circle of friends. I used to roll with these super rich kids sometimes that had such adult drama that I didn’t even know how to deal. We were on Comm Ave in Brighton and they had access to hot tubs and it was like Melrose Place or some shit. One of those kids would have FOR SURE gotten shot if we were allowed to have guns. They were on another level of emotion. I found out like, two years later, after I’d graduated, that that level was called “cocaine” and i was pretty surprised, but whatever.
Oh, aaaaaaand I knew three people that were put on suicide watch freshman year.
Anyway, this is fuckin’ dumb. People should be doing something about this.
I think I find it offensive when people say “I hope you’re kidding,” because hope is a pretty serious belief/emotion and kidding is by definition a pretty light thing. To hope someone’s kidding feels like misdirected energy.
I would say that the solution is to just assume that whoever you’re speaking to is kidding because assumption seems generally safer on the surface, but that’s probably not the answer either.
Maybe everyone should just shut up.

I made this list of unicorns that amaze me.
I thought my roommate and I were going to get drunk and watch American Idol together and paint our nails while she watched me cry over all of the emotions that American Idol forces me to experience, but she wound up celebrating the last night of her internship with her co-wokers so now I’m here with the same nails as yesterday, drunk off the vodka we’ve had since November and singing “Landslide” to myself along with an instrumental track I found on YouTube.
This is a post about going with the flow.
