I break bones and laugh.

This week, I was the only person in my history class who knew that Kosovo declared independence. Liberty and phalluses--those are my areas of expertise.

I'm going to post some more photos later and write up a mini bio for all the newish people on my friends list (and you not so newish people who are wondering who the hell I am). I have to run to the bank at the moment but quickly, now:

White Whine: White folks are so in right now! Anyway, like SWPL, I think these are probably more common to class than just race but it's interesting to see how many I relate to. (“Why can’t more websites be viewed cleanly on my blackberry? For Christ’s sake it’s almost 2008, its time for websites to accept that they need to be designed for the mobile user, too.")

XKCD: Not new at all, of course but I've only recently sat down and read through it. And I really did LOL. (P.S.: I am probably the last person on earth to read this but in case not, if you didn't know, you should hover for the alt text.)

What has Barack Obama done for you?: OMG, you guys--he warmed up my car for me. That is so sweet!

EDITED TO ADD:

Michelle Obama
Hillary Clinton
Ron Paul
John McCain

You know, I didn't remember until just now that Jerry O'Connell was in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise, which makes that parody video like, 300x funnier now.

Unrelated, I was going through my youtube favorites and I found this video that I'd meant to post and then forgot about. It is "Internet Commenter Business Meeting" and it is for everyone that hates reading comments on the web. Probably NSFW (naughty language).



EDIT: Part 2

I had a job interview Saturday for a position that I'm kinda excited about. I'm supposed to go back next Saturday to do some tryout massages so we'll see how it goes. The downside is, I might not be able to go on my planned NYC trip next month or may not be able to go the full time that I planned but that's okay--I've already decided that I'll try to plan a NYC trip in April if I don't get to go in March. Another downside is that I might not be able to move to San Francisco in April but tbh, I won't be able to do that anyway. The upside is, if I get this job, I'll pretty much be able to write my own check when I do move.

What will you be doing, Salome? I'm glad you asked! There's a chiropractic clinic here that's been in business for over fifty years and they want to have a massage clinic, mainly because they're tired of having to refer out their patients. So if I'm hired, I'd be in charge of the massage program and for all intents and purposes, in charge of the massage clinic, which is a separate building and business. Pretty cool, I think.

Also cool:

*I did my taxes this morning so I have that out of the way. It would be cooler if I were getting more back, of course.

*Rosa Loves is an artsy t-shirt company but they're not yr average artsy t-shirt company. They find people with stories, people who need something and they design a shirt inspired by that need. "Each story will be told through stimulating graphics and actual text that will appear on the inverse of the shirt directly in line with the heart, where the Rosa Loves movement stems from." Then they use the proceeds of each shirt to pay for the inspiration's need. So for example, sales of their Indo Made shirt will buy Made a fishing boat. Sales of their Burdened and Regrowth shirts will benefit the Coley family, a woman and her grandchildren, who lost their home to a fire.

*Paoli Nutini--I adore this boy.

*Virb--Anyone on there? Add me. If you want to be on there, I've got a few invites available. It's still so new that you can probably get whatever page name you want.

*Ice Breakers Ice Cube gum--Why is it so hard to find?

*BPAL's Neil Gaiman collection--I want Mr. Ibis and Mr. Jacquel and Mr. Nancy. Oh and Mama-Ji.

*Thinking about traveling to New Orleans

*Planning continuing education massage classes--Lomi Lomi training in Hawaii? Aromatherapy in Provence? Medical Massage certification in Costa Rica? And yes, some totally boring stuff about trade shows and taxes. I love learning.

Okay, so I mentioned the other day that I was working on a new blog and here it is: Boob Tube. What is it? Funny you should ask. It's a blog about television, specifically featuring show recaps, bits about commercials, and anything else telly-related we want to post. It's in its natal stages right now and we're still working out the kinks--that header is totally temporary, for one thing and you can make one for us if you'd like (PM me for details!)--but I'm quite proud of our work so far.

So there you have it. Boob Tube: Mean Girls, Idiot Box.

EDIT: And now you can go here to add the feed to your lj friends page! Hooray, pie for everyone!
