Hoodrat, I LOVE what I call house porn! So much fun.

Today was my bro's birthday, and we went to a new Indian restaurant. So I love...
- duck with black lentils and mushroom naan - amazing!
- pickled pumpkin with cumin - never had that before!
- how cute my bro & his gf are together, even after 4 years
- free dessert from the owner because it was Dom's bday
- coming back to a nice warm house.

5 my lone Baby Badger Day present: a component stereo (I had not had a functional standalone CD player in close to a decade)

4 the NO BOYS ALLOWED. thread for showcasing some of the Unified Scene's spectacular ladyfolk being their kind, helpful, witty, and supportive selves AND talking about fancy underwear AT THE VERY SAME TIME

3 the ever-astonishing Jason Anderson, whose shows and attitude and ethics and MUSIC mean more to me than I could ever possibly express, is playing in Chicago next Saturday -- and it's an all-ages show, which means I will be able to make it there and to Franz' solo set at Empty Bottle later that night, please please please come along, it will completely change your life, I will chauffeur you


2 realizing that I have finally grasped the very first sliver of what I want to be when I grow up

1 letting go and letting god

[stephanie]

Oh, and: I also gave up candy for 2009, and am still going strong. It gets especially tough around 3 in the afternoon, I've found.

So 212, you can have my half, too. Like Ms. j, I also ate candy all day every day. Until I got a cavity.

Possibly:
