My mom French braided my hair yesterday.


Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I know it came out a while ago, but I just rented Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson & Javier Bardem are impeccable. This is definitely a movie I would like to own.

All you need is a razorblade and a piece of cardboard to stretch the shirt over while you cut it. More coming soon!

If you're not weird, you're boring.




My friends and family tell me all the time that I'm weird. Here's a few of the things that might cause them to make that assumption:
1. I hate washing my hands in warm water
2. I eat the crust of my sandwich first (I like to save the best part of my meal for last)
3. The word 'panties' makes my skin crawl
4. I often I say 'I love you' to the toll booth attendant, just to see if they'll say it back (sometimes they do)
5. I find myself oddly attracted to all things socially taboo- such as Speedos on old men, mullets and/or rat tails, the Rock of Love skanks, carnies, drag queens and the F-word.
6. I keep a plastic grill in my purse that I got from a quarter machine in Macomb, Illinois. It comes in handy when I'm feeling particularly hood (see above picture)
7. I make myself laugh out loud all the time, often out of nowhere
8. Building forts out of cushions, blankets, mattresses and ironing boards is always fun, especially if you're in a hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa
9. As a child, I could often be found wearing my underwear as a hat.
10. In high school, my friend Tiffany and I taped a paper grocery bag to the top of my old Thunderbird and drove around town, laughing hysterically at all of the people pointing at it and trying to tell me that I had forgotten my groceries.

Happy Father's Day!



Since all of our old photo albums are packed, I couldn't get an old picture of me and my dad for this post... so here's my favorite TV dad, Al Bundy!

OMG

I just saw the video for 'Fuck You' by Lily Allen and it is AMAZING! Any song with the word 'fuck' in the title is worth a listen if you ask me. (Hello, 'Fuck the Pain Away' by Peaches?) I couldn't find it on youtube and I'm not technologically advanced enough to figure out how to post it here anyway. GO RIGHT NOW to perezhilton.com and check it out!
