Mindy Kaling's 10 Things You Don't Know About...
1. Unless we have silver hair or are a poet laureate, don’t ever call us ma’am. Try girl. Justin Timberlake has made a career out of its generous use.
2. I look like a fool in a dress if you’re in a T-shirt and jeans, but we look like a stylish couple if you add a blazer. Unrequired fanciness is the cutest thing ever.
3. Instead of calling your ex a bitch, say: “[Name] is...

Today's Annoyances (so far)
I went to the grocery store last night purely to buy 3 boxes of Crystal Light packets for work because I’m out. I accidentally left them at home. I guess I’ll be drinking plain water today. Boooring.
I called ABC Financial to cancel my gym membership since I’m moving to Texas. They need a copy of my lease in Austin (makes sense). So I can email it or fax it right? Nope, snail...
Watch“I’ll Believe in Anything” Wolf Parade at the Spanish Moon. Caution: the video is horrible, we were in the way back and there were tons of tall scene kids there. I’m posting this more for the live song. I haven’t been able to get this out of my head since Saturday.

Election smection
Lacey: my boss just told me not to vote for obama because obama is a racist. so i guess i'm going to vote for mccain now
Jason: i didn't know obama was a racist! it must be true
Jason: which race does he hate?
Jason: he's got a 50/50 shot of hating himself
Jason: or, perhaps a 100% chance
Lacey: i'm not sure, but also my boss said obama has no chance of winning
Lacey: so i don't even know why we are even having a silly election
Responses to an email I sent some of the staff...
“I can’t believe you’re leaving!! We need to go to lunch soon before you leave”

“Lacey you will be missed no doubt about that. As always be safe, adventurous and keeping learning and moving forward.”

iPhone still sold out
“This is a very common tactic by electronics corporations these days. You purposely short stock all your stores so that you can claim they are selling out like mad.
This is no different than the original iPhone when it came out - they did the same thing. The Nintendo Wii has done it as well.
I remember the stories of all the stores being sold out of iPhones and then down the road you...

Complaint #247

Times they are A-Changin'
In high school, my friend Ashley used to just put $1.50 worth of gas in her car at a time. That would not even get me out of the gas station today.
Happy Belated 4th!
I spent my weekend in small towns. Thursday night, I stayed in Donaldsonville and watched a fireworks show. Jake is from there and showed me all 2.5 square miles of it. The grand tour took about 10 minutes, but I got to hear lots of stories about his childhood.
Saturday we drove to Pierre Part to our friend, Kevin’s camp on the river. I got to hear MORE childhood stories from Jake and his...
