I've recently joined the world of temporarily straight hair. It takes way too long, and doesn't last very long, but it's a fun change. It makes me look WAY different since my huge curly hair is such a distinctive feature, and it always will be. My hair rules. Check the myspace or friendster for a straight hair pic. I got it cut, too, and now ( Read more... )

I'm pooped. I've had an uber-stressful/annoying week. It annoys me when people don't know how to pronounce uber. I wish I knew how to type umlauts in LJ. I'm driving up to Bethlehem, where I'll meet Emily, and then I'll go to my first Penn State game.

I've been up since 5:30 am... and slumber's still not anywhere in sight.

(It's slightly dumbed down, because I was writing it for German students taking beginning English, but it accurately describes the events of my day. Funny note: This is about one of three things you can find out about me by Googling my ( Read more... )

- I want to find someone to go to Restaurant Week with in Philly - Sept. 18-23... you can go to snazzy restaurants and eat a minimum of 3 courses (from a prix fixe menu) for $30. This is a MAJOR bargain for some of these places. Go here and someone come with me, dammit ( Read more... )

As if I didn't have enough reason to ADORE John Legend... on the new Gap commercial discussing favorite songs, he sings a line of Todd Rundgren's "Hello, It's Me". He just needs to come father my children now.
