This song is so my jam. Sadly, there appears to be no video, so you cannot fully see their glam rock flamboyantly fabulous selves.
This fan video is also pretty swell:
The lead singer really reminds me of Greivo from Brain Candy.
When then reminds me of this scene:
Which reminds me of this magnet we bought at Crafty Bastards:

And that is how my brain works! I'm sure you really wanted to know.
My other current obsession is mail order cupcakes in a jar from Etsy. I threw caution to the wind and ordered some this week, and omfg, they truly are the best thing ever. I will gladly support this business in the future.
Today is awesome. I slept in a bit, went to the amish market to stock up on goodness before they temporarily shut down to move to a new location, napped, had wings and cupcakes for lunch, napped again, read some mindless trashy mags, looked up odd youtube videos and am currently drinking a big Pimm's Cup.
I really hope it rains tonight so I won't be woken up by parking lot fireworks. Happy Fourth, people!
Does anyone have space for the month of August for a very polite 24 year old who is a gourmet chef and good company? He's also very good at staying out of the way if you want. He can pay you some amount of rent for the crash space, possibly cook for you, clean or watch your pets. Maybe some light home repair! Most of his belongings will be in storage, and his current plan is to do a week by week rotation with family members he doesn't really get along with.
Anyone? Oh, he also doesn't yet know I'm trying to hunt for him. Please pass this on if you can. Thanks
I hope it ends up online.
I will drink my very much deserved espresso now.

I have two observations:
1: Asian immigrants seem to love learning this dance and all line dances in general, if YouTube is to be believed, and
2: Oscar the Cowboy is fricking awesome, and I have nothing but love for him.
Sometimes When We Touch!!! Aggghhhhhh!!!

He talks in a smooth jazz-funk kind of voice, which makes everything 10 times better as well.
In other news, I <3 my new vegan handbag. It's this one, but it purple.
The fact that the style is named Depeche Mode was not the reason I bought, it actually. it's just a nice coincidence. :D

Why yes, that IS a walking matzah ball! Sadly, he doesn't walk very well because his body is made of foam and weighs down his little mechanical feet.

And those ARE Passover finger puppets! Note the matzoh appears again. Not walking this time.
It was truly a holy day, for these items were on sale and happily made their way home with me. I may have accidentally squeaked with excitement.

I wish the grocery store had these. They're pretty amazing. The "darkness" plague puppet is particularly offensive. The "boils" puppet is completely awesome though.

See how much fun the ten plagues can be?
I wonder if the Earth Day concert on the mall has been rained out yet? I have used the rainy afternoon to read an entire book from start to finish, make strawberry butter, and prepare an afternoon tea for us.
For the first time ever, the cat projectile vomited water from a chair. She was under the tablecloth, so it took me a moment to figure out why it looked like the rain was pouring under the table. Poor kitty. Maybe she's learned a valuable lesson about drinking too much water? I doubt it.

Here is Miss Bling with her laundry basket as claimed as her tent, her turtle shell, her home base and her refuge. You can also see the scarf I bought at a thrift store in Boston for myself and which she promptly claimed as hers. She loves both of these objects so much I don't dare to take them away.
AN EATBAR SUNDAY CINEMA SERIES EVENT
SUNDAY, APRIL 6 - ALL DAY LONG
Join us this Sunday for a marathon retrospective featuring the strangely iconic, albeit egregiously underrated star of the silver screen John Cusack. We'll begin coverage of his impressive oeuvre beginning at noon on Sunday alongside our eggs and bloodies and take the show right on through the day and well into the night. This marks the first installment of an ongoing tribute series dedicated to a few of our favorite pop culture stars, and to be perfectly honest, something we think just might be a whole lot of fun for everyone.
There is no price for admission and the concession stand treats (including our nearly addictively sinister white truffle popcorn) are on the house, so grab your friends and let's go to the movies for the whole day!
NOON - Better Off Dead (1985)
2:00 PM - One Crazy Summer (1986)
4:00 PM - Being John Malkovich (1999)
6:00 PM - Say Anything (1989)
8:00 PM - Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
10:00 PM - High Fidelity (2000)
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
April 13 - Tribute to Bill Murray
April 20 - Tribute to Patrick Swayze
April 27 - Tribute to Julia Roberts
The Bette Davis Film Festival has begin, and tonight AFI is showing All About Eve, which seems like a fantastic way to spend a miserably cold and rainy night. The movie starts at 7:00.
ALL ABOUT EVE
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" says Davis's screen apotheosis, A-list actress Margo channing. But it's she who gets bumped off by her duplicitous protegee Anne Baxter as the ambitious Eve Harrington, a young starlet who models herself on Davis only to supplant her in a win-at-all-costs rise to stardom. The most nominated film in oscar history with 14, winning six, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay nods for Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
DIR/SCR Joseph L. Mankiewicz; PROD Darryl F. Zanuck. US, 1950, b&w, 138 min.
Friday, April 4, 7:00; Saturday, April 5, 3:30; Sunday, April 6, 1:00; Tuesday, April 8, 7:00

A Century Ago: The Films of 1907
Featuring live musical accompaniment by award-winning musician and composer Michael Mortilla
Presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in partnership with The Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film and the Foundation for the National Archives, “A Century Ago: The Films of 1907” presents a selection of rare turn-of-the-20th-century international films, including trick films, “actualities” (films showing real things or events), primitive dramas, and gag films, all produced during this year of creative expansion and transition. Compiled and hosted by Randy Haberkamp, Director of Educational and Special Projects for the Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the program will be highlighted by the pixilation (stop-action animation) sensation The Haunted Hotel, by J. Stuart Blackton of Vitagraph; the first film version of Ben-Hur, from the Kalem Company, which led to a precedent-setting copyright infringement case; a hand-tinted version of Les Kiriki, Acrobates Japonais, from Pathé Studios in France; and such crowd pleasers as The Teddy Bears, from Edison Studios, and The Dancing Pig, from Pathé. Most prints are in 35mm and are drawn from the collections of the Academy Film Archive, the Library of Congress, and the UCLA Film & Television Archive. (120 minutes)
- Location:New quiet office!
- Music:No religious music or singing!
Dear DC metro management: What the hell were you thinking when you decided to stop enforcing a ban or investigation of people who take numerous photos of the station platform and the insides of trains? I feel so much safer for that decision. From talking to the station manager, they're only allowed to investigate suspicious people when they use a tripod for their photos. Way to cripple the system! I know it will take an act of terrorism to get you to change this decision, and sadly, that's what will probably happen.
No love,
Me.

Is it feasible that the battery's almost dead and yet the air/radio will still turn on?
