More Things I Learned the Hard Way:
Do not wait until an hour before you go to work the day before Halloween to see if that bleach pen you bought four years ago will still work enough to make your costume which involves a lot of bleaching. You will be left with a very wet sweatshirt, bleach on your hands and will inevitably be late for work a day after your promotion. This will not look very good.

Oh my god I want it. You could put the words “fleur de sel” before nearly anything and I would eat it.

Telling the large barking dog to “Shut the fuck up, you fucking noisy bitch!” won’t make it stop.
Things I learned the hard way today:
It’s all well and good to bring a granny-style push-cart to the laundromat to pick up your dry clothes, but it doesn’t do you much good if you don’t have a bag to put them in before putting them in said cart. All of your skivvies will fall out on to the sidewalk and make for a most ungraceful walk home.
Trust me.

Wait, what?
Yep. A dead guy.
We’re walking down 10th street, en route to Sundaes and Cones, when we see a few people standing awkwardly around a guy lying on the sidewalk. Coming closer, we can see that the guy is covered in a couple garbage bags and that there is a bloody paper towel on him. The few by-standers are saying to each other, “Do you...

A Thought
thecoastisclear:
Improv is like fresh fruit.
And Tina Fey is like Jamba Juice. In a good way.
If Tina Fey was at that show last night, my overalls will freak out.

The last two movies I saw in theaters were 500 Days of Summer and Where the Wild Things Are. Does this make me a hipster?
This brings to mind the description of a book club that Katie, Lizz and I had (exclusively on Facebook) called the Hippish Book Club (Not for Hipsters):
We read books. Maybe we’ll all read the same book at the same time and then eat scones and talk...

I like seasonal ice cream. Baffles (erm, my dad) can practically smell in the air when the peppermint stick ice cream arrives at Crazees. He once asked the girl behind the counter if he could buy a five gallon tub of it. He was not joking.
40-degree weather will not stop me from trying this pumpkin ice cream.
Things I do know about this person:
He used to work as a caricature artist at Six Flags Great Adventure.
He hosts a football game every year the day after Thanksgiving.
He was one of the organizers of something called “Breaking Day”.
He used to date an Alice.
He once made her a Valentine’s Day card that read something to the effect, “My heart skipped a beat when we first met, and it’s been skipping...

and stumbled across a photo of a friend of Kevyn’s in the dating profiles page. Underneath his picture was a quote, “I can crush walnuts with my pectoral muscles”.
I didn’t know him that well, but I know that’s not true.

I’m delighted by the entire balloon boy arc.
I managed to miss this entire story. Is it still happening? Why was that boy vomiting?

Got my attention.
42-year old President Mohamed Nasheed “said there was “less talk” during the half-hour underwater meeting, but he had managed to get more work done.”
Awesome.

Approaching the walk, the more-than-anniversary of the first walk I walked, I am reminded that I am unbearably fortunate.

This afternoon I had brunch with my ex-boss. We ended up chatting with several fellow brunchers. Over the course of the seven hours I spent drinking with these strangers, one claimed to us that his sister was Fergie. Another claimed to be a soap star, playing Joey Buchanan on “One Life to Live”, that he used to be a porn star, that his mother was in “Giant” and “The...

“That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today, Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday. Oh, by the way, He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge.”
