Greatest email ever? Yeah, I think this qualifies.
In roughly two weeks, I move away from my teeny college town. I'm not terribly saddened by this fact, but there are a few things I'll miss, such as the quaint homes, the cheap theater, and the crime report.
1. Unlocked door at Maurice's--No biggie, but did the police really need to be called in on this? I mean really?
2. Theft (wooden pallets from Albertsons)--"Hey guys! I know where we can get wood for our bonfire! Oh yeah, I had a roommate who did this all the time!" I am 100% positive this is what happened.
3. Complaint of elderly woman harassing subject with homemade jelly--Maybe it's best not to know.
Today marks the beginning of my birthday countdown gift lists! It's not so much for me to come across all consumer-hungry and "Oh, it's my birthday, buy me stuff!" (Unless you happen to be one of my parental units, in which case, listen up.) Think of it more as a way for me to introduce y'all to some really cool merchandise on the interwebs. Kind of like a fake audition for Oh My That's Awesome.
I'm a die-hard shirts and jeans girl. I wish I were better about dressing up, but given the choice, I'm sticking with my Threadless collection, thankyouverymuch.
1. I Love Katherine, Nuda Tees, $12
2. The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter Tee, Blue Collar Distro, $16
I don't talk nearly enough about Josh Ritter on here. I love this man and his music so much.
3. Forever Jung, Mental Floss, $14.95
The psychology nerd in me needs this.
If the internet were a person, I'd marry it. For real.
1. This parody version of Baby Got Back is book comedy at its finest. Cheryl Klein wrote it, with lyrics like "So ladies, if lit's your love/And you wanna make like Nabokov/Dial 1-800-READSALOT/And we'll read those banned novels/Baby got book!"
2. Golfwidow dreamed up the hilarious LOLdiner, which would be Teh Successful IRL.
3. Rachelskirts introduced me to Daily Lit. Get a couple pages of a book emailed to you every day for free!
4. Naomi, a.k.a. the "Cupcake Ninja" was recently featured over at Cupcakes Take the Cake. Her fondant designs are the tastiest little bites of pop culture I've seen.
5. Download Ben Gibbard (*dreamy sigh*) singing Rilo Kiley's Silver Lining here.
6. Miss Erin got an ARC of Shannon and Dean Hale's Rapunzel's Revenge and recently reviewed it. Color me jealous!
7. Mark your calenders! This Tuesday is Eliza Doolittle Day!
8. I totally won an Airhead t-shirt from Meg Cabot! I can only imagine there were hundreds of entries and I was one of the thirty! When it arrives, I'll post my entry for who I'd want to trade bodies with if I had the chance.
9. Edge created a list of her top twenty songs in my honor. Thanks again!
10. Moshi moshi! Did you know The Office originally started out as a Japanese show?
11. My new (and final) header is up! Feed readers, come give it a looksie. (Question: I can't figure out for the life of me how to make it link back to the home page. Any advice?)
12. I'm going to be participating in Pink of Perfection's May Project for the next week. The theme is Media Detox, which means I'm going to cut down on all non-essential internet surfing. Um, which is a LOT of extra time I'll have on my hands. Hey, homework? Let's be friends again!
I'm going to try and draft my posts tonight, so I'll still blog, but I might not be around so much on twitter or commenting or the like. Wish me luck!
1. Sushi Band-aids--For some inexplicable but awesome reason, they also come with a free toy. Price: $3.99
2. Mayan Rocks buttons--The best are the Andy Warhol buttons, which would look super cute with this $10 tote bag from Target. Price: $1 each
