you'll have to excuse me; i rarely get political...
…this shit just happened in georgia. if you don’t feel like clicking through, the GA house of representative passed a “fetal pain” bill, which cuts six weeks from the time women can have elective abortions.
i broke out in tears after reading it. it’s too much, guys. why the fuck are these people making these ridiculous laws? i’m sorry that someone’s god...

yahoo horoscope for leo, love::daily singles edition, 02.24.2012:
Read and re-read that certain someone’s online profile. Replay that voicemail to your heart’s content. You’re not obsessing — you’re just getting all the nuances. And that’s just smart.
FINALLY. the validation i’ve been looking for every time i read my horoscope.

she's a mountain, a hill of butterflies.
this may be blasphemous to say, but i think kelley deal might be my favorite deal sister? i dunno, man - check with me tomorrow.
wednesday night i went to see r. ring, which is basically mike montgomery (from the band ampline) and kelley deal (from the breeders and the kelley deal 6000). just those two, with a friend who occasionally played a lone snare with brushes.
it was good, but of...

go pooh. go pooh.
two years in and this video can still reduce me to tears. i’m barely holding myself together.

oh, this might be a big one.
i recently finished reading bossypants by tina fey. well, i didn’t actually finish it; i think there’s one more chapter about babies or something, but i got the gist of it. it’s funny. it’s very funny. i laughed out loud at times. so there’s that.
i like 30 rock, but i haven’t kept up with it over the last 2-3 seasons. i’d...

i’ve always named janeane garofalo as one of my favorite comedians, and yet i will be the first to admit that she was never particularly funny. i was just thrilled to see someone on stage who i totally related to. but in 2010 she put together a set that was pretty good. i saw her do some of it at SxSW in 2009 and i remember thinking, “that was really funny.”
her appearance on...

here's something i just learned: when i get tipsy,...
first thoughts after listening to the new sleigh bells, reign of terror, multiple times today:
okay, for everyone out there who will immediately say that it doesn’t have the same bite at the first record - how could it? a big part of treats’s appeal was its huge serving of “WTF?” there’s no way to duplicate that. but you also can’t drastically switch it up;...
happy valentimes day.
over the weekend, i flipped though a folder of pictures of myself (some racy, some not so much) used to flirt with & tempt a boy last year. (long story short: he was not worthy and i shouldn’t have done it in the first place.)
i don’t even recognize the girl in those photos. she seems so self assured, so happy that there was somebody out there who finally realized how sexy she...
cha-ching.
i’m making my way through a debt management course that i need to complete before i can discharge my bankruptcy. i’m on the first section, which is about budgeting. my plan was to try to breeze through this thing - i know that my problem is i’m bad with money, especially when i have moments of unemployment - but i’m taking a few notes on how to make a budget. gotta learn...
wait. you mean to tell me there’s NOT a way to lock up your keyboard during a full moon or impending menses? so if i’m suddenly overcome with emotions about reactions to madonna’s super bowl halftime show and i get the urge to tweet about it, there’s no way to stop me?
uh oh.

not even in chapel hill for 24 hours and i’ve already located & eaten at the local chipotle. i needed one of those salads, though - last night i ate a lackluster shrimp salad, then a chicken/cheese/italian dressing wrap.
this may shock you, but i’ve never really eaten a wrap before. like, where all of the food stuff is completely encased by a tortilla or pita bread or whatever....

in about 45 minutes i will be leaving for the NC Comedy Arts Festival in chapel hill, nc. i’ve never been to either chapel hill or a comedy festival. it’s showcase-based, i.e. not a competition; i’m slated to do 2 sets (8-10 minutes each), plus i signed up for an open mic tonight. i haven’t decided what i’m going to say yet, but i guess that’s what i’ll do...

(i don’t normally do this, post chat conversations. it’s none of your business what i’m chatting about, even if it’s usually about how boys are stupid & shopping is fun. but i had a convo with my girl millie that helped me make it through a tough day - and like most of our chats, was fucking hilarious - and i wanted to share it. RIP, don cornelius.)
our story begins...
