I really just want to feel like this again.

Pretty much

This pretty much sums up how I'm feeling about life in general lately.

Today

-last cigarette: in Memphis in October, sitting next to some slack-jawed yokels who were doing birdcalls. I kid you not.

-last alcoholic drink: a beer at Applebee's with my boss and my co-worker Fender

-last car ride: does my commute to work this morning count?

-last kiss: Bean, this morning when I dropped her off at school.

-last good cry: last week. I cry all the time, these days.

-last book bought: a pop-up book about the Titanic for Bean. That was forever ago. I go to the library.

-last book read: not including cookbooks? Little Children. Check it out.

-last movie seen: I finally watched 'The Notebook'. I poked vague fun at it for the last couple of years because I don't normally do chick flicks. Now it is recorded in my DVR so that I may watch it over and over and over if I want.

-last beverage drank: water

-last food consumed: hummus and pretzel chips

-last crush: the adorable vegan girl who works at the gas station across from where I work. le sigh.

-last phone call: my mom... to ask about Girl Scout cookies.

-last tv show watched: Golden Girls. This morning while I ate my cereal. I fucking LOVE Golden Girls.

-last shoes worn: are on my feet right now. Raggedy old black Converse. With really big holes in them.

-last song played: 'And Darling' by Tegan and Sara. Because I'm lame and emo.

-last thing bought: Tofutti cream cheese and agar from Whole Foods

-last download: oh, I don't know

-last soda drank: a tiny little 8oz can of Pepsi.

-last thing written: "total due = 563. pd = 553. w/hld = 10.00

-last words spoken: "Oh my God, she was chatty today!"

-last ice cream eaten: Soy Delicious chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in.

-last webpage visited: http://www.gmail.com

I got really bored about 2/3 of the way through that, but I soldiered on. Because that's what I do.

Can't Think of a Creative Blog Title

Usually I hate it when I hear my favorite bands' songs in commercials.

Jane's Addiction "Mountain Song" in the Mountain Dew commercial.

The Kooks' "Shine On" in a Michelob Ultra with lime or some such bullshit commercial.

But I'm really really extra super duper excited to hear The Panderers' "Come On" in the Little Big Planet commercial. I saw them live last April, they opened for Mike Doughty, and they were stupendous.




The entire song and video are here:




They have an extended version, but it's long as hell.

I'm stoked.

The Faces of Thanksgiving Dinner

Don't worry. No mutilated animal pictures today.

I discovered that the Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary outside of Denver has a blog. The Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary is a safe haven for rescued farm animals, and they have chickens and sheep and pigs and cows and... wait for it... turkeys.

I am posting two links to blog entries from the Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary about turkeys and Thanksgiving. I know it's probably a pain in the ass to link over to a different website. I would post them here and provide the links, but the formatting doesn't copy well, and they have some really wonderful photos attached to the entries. Please read them. Please think about it. Please don't let your tastebuds be the reason that these animals continue to be slaughtered.
