I hope that was some good muzak. I had you on hold for the longest time. What? You hung up? Rudeness! Anyhow, I returned from Palm Springs almost 2 weeks ago. Then Brice left for Japan, and while he was gone Natali (BFF) came to visit. When she left, Carol (BMom) came to visit. Then Brice came home and brought back a huge bag full of Japanese candy and several pairs of five-toed socks. Now you’re pretty much caught up on my life. But, before I forget, I have to say that Brice is obsessed with the socks. He got me some cute ones, but something about gloves for feet creeps me out. I’m sure I’ll get used to it. But probably not. I mean, c’mon, toes are to be ignored unless you have a My Little Pony pedicure. And I haven’t had one in ages. But I digress…
When Natali was here we saw the movie Coraline. I had heard rave reviews for it and knowing it was created in P-Town (Portland for those not “in the know”) I was excited to see it. Um… yeah. Not trying to hate on any peeps that had a hand in creating this, but Nat and I found it creepy and disturbing. The visuals were fine if you could get over the stilted Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movements and the acid trip 3-D type effects. But what did I expect? Dakota Fanning is in it so you know what that means. You don’t? It means creepy. Talented kid. Loved her in The Secret Life of Bees and I Am Sam, but she does star in some creeptastic movies from time to time.
What else? Oh, today I finally gave into the dark side and joined Twitter. As if Facebook isn’t a big enough chore, I’ll be sucked into Twitter as well. Now I can stalk and be stalked. Not that anyone stalks me. I’d like to think someone would. But not in a creepy Dakota Fanning type of way. Anyways, you can find my Twitter updates on the right-hand side of this here blog.
I know I haven’t been updating this very much, and I know you probably won’t even read this for ages since you’ve given up on me, but I’m back and I will work at doing better. Thinking about starting to write a book since the job search is kind of blah. Have some ideas kicking around for a plot. What kind of books do you like to read? What would you like to see me write? Besides a love note to you. Duh.
Finally, 42 is still all around. Kelly witnessed it today. It’s everywhere. Like the sky and aerosolized fecal matter. Yep, I said it. Look it up.
Heart,
Lo

I have the 5 toe socks…creepy and weird. My toes like to hang with one another…they don’t like to hang loose. If you had 6 toes on each foot you would only need 7 pairs of 6 toe socks, but since you have 5 toes you will need 8.4 pairs to equal 42.

to fix my mistake. If you had 6 toes =12 you would only need 3.5 pairs or 4 rights and 3 lefts. With your 5 toes = 10 you will only need 4.2 pairs…but look a 4 and a 2!!

OH, so that’s where I comment….it’s like that zero was invisible to my naked eye.
42, play the lotto

like it, writing a book would be good, becoming a talk show host would be better…
