Just like BudaBar. Only with less crazy racists.

my newest love.

How did I miss this for so long?

-Lauren

more cats.

I like this cat. He's all "sup?"

-Lauren

you missed out!

We had a "Henna Head" party at work yesterday and it was super neat. Well, I was closing so I got in after it was over, but Zahra stuck around to henna my hand because she is awesome. Check it!



Pardon my appearance, I was writing a paper in my frigid room. I am wearing three sweaters!

-Lauren

PS- Everyone at Lush misses you! Also, today at work was, like, bring your adorable child to the mall day. There were so many ridiculously cute kids.

the game of life.

Joel.

Just another Thursday in Suburbia.



Just your average middle-aged dad.

Ugh.

I am hungover and my radiator sounds like it is trying to connect to AOL in 1993.

My head is going to explode. I am sure of it.

nostalgia.

I am sitting in my room listening to the neighbors fight. Do you remember when I lived on Guilden Street? My neighbors always fought there, too. Must be a New Brunswick thing. Guilden Street was insane, but it was fun, too. I remember when Ian would come over and we would sit in my room and watch TV through my neighbor's window. We'd have to make up the voices on our own. It was always so much better than actually watching TV. I have been so nostalgic lately. I guess I have to be because I've not actually left the house much lately. I go to class and screenings and I went to the bar on Valentine's Day, but I haven't seen all those kids we hung out with (okay, AJ) in weeks and weeks, so I've been getting by just remembering. As soon as I see everyone I will tell stories about the good old days hanging out with you. Put my (terminal) nostalgia to use. I will talk about that night we decided my shoes looked like alligators and doing tequila shots with your mom and when just hanging out was a bit more interesting because you were around.

Anyways, my windows are thin and the heat here never works and it is a particularly cold night in New Brunswick, so I am an icicle. I am going to get under the covers before I freeze to death.

Night!

Full story here. I can't stop laughing, but it's also kind of terrifying. The bit about the judge is particularly funny.

CLAPPING MUSIC

so this is what we're doing in ear training. the technique is called phasing, and was written by Steve Reich in 1972. what happens is one person claps the top line constantly, while the other person switches the beat forward by an 1/8 note every 4 bars. its. awesome.

How Stuff Works

super.f00dz.

shall we?

all kids should always be high.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

-Lauren

Reads like the Book of Revelations or the Celestine Prophecies.

I just had the absolute filthiest dream about Robert Downey Jr.

He owned a room at the bottom of the Tower of Terror. I will leave the violence and smut out because I am a lady.

last night...

...we drank this much:


Femi was DJing at this bar in Linden, so we decided to stop by. It was a nice bar (not as good as the Wich, but what is, really?). For some reason 99% of the people there were Eastern European, and they were all the best people ever...or maybe we were just feeling extra receptive to new people because drinks were so cheap (I spent $10 the entire night and I was in a lovely state). Anyways, some guy with the most Italian name I have ever heard outside of a movie (he claimed he worked for the FBI) was chatting up every girl in his line of vision and bought us tons of drinks and strange boys were handing me shots (sorry, mom), and everyone was having a great time. You would have loved it.

happy-go-lucky

I went to a screening of this last night. It made me feel really good. Julia and I were the only two people laughing, which was strange because it was very funny. The trailer makes it look a bit silly, but it's not. Well, it is, but it's silly in the very best way. What I mean to say is, it is much better than it looks in the trailer. Anyways, I have to run to work. Enjoy Russia!
