desire

While in the midst of redecorating my room (pictures to come in a month or so),  I came across this duvet set:

I must confess I’m lusting over it; it’s perfect in every way and would likely bring peace to the world shortly after falling upon my bed. If anyone out there would like to bless me abundantly…my bed is a double (though a king would be *perfect*).

I am not a patient person

Jesus would undoubtedly like to change this. His current effort involves keeping my new car 15 minutes away from my current location for the next two days.

Unbelievable.

catching up

One day you wake up and realize you’ve been neglecting your blog for nearly two months. Oops…

…in unrelated news: Today was my birthday. I’m officially 24 and, I’ve discovered over the last week, am completely unable to pretend that I’m anything but an adult. I asked for (and was extremely excited to receive) stainless steel serving utensils and dining room chairs; it’s a sure sign of my inevitable decline to the geriatric ward. There’s no turning back. Of course…

his name is what?

It’s one of the most quotable quotes in the history of cinema.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die.

It is deserving of such infamy. Mandy Patinkin will forever be remembered as the man who uttered it. I however will remember him first for something else…

a veritable treasure trove of amusement

The last few days have yielded some excessively funny videos, pictures and truths. Please enjoy…

we are not friends

To the multitudes of servers who find employment in any restaurant in the United States:

I am sure you are wonderful people. There is no doubt in my mind that you have good, entertaining things to add to any conversation. If given the opportunity we may or may not be great friends one day.

i hid my face in shame

If you had been at my house last Tuesday during the election party you would have heard one of the most outrageous statements in the world.

If you had been at my house last Tuesday during the election party you would have heard a conversation about the new James Bond movie. That conversation segwayed into another about a former IHOPper who wrote a screenplay for a new (in the works) James Bond movie. Which then transitioned to jokes about whether or not the movie would be terrible. At which point I said…

the streak ends

As I prepare to lay my head down to sleep CNN informs me that Senator McCain beat President-Elect Obama by a mere 5,853 votes in my great state of Missouri. It is, by far, the closest margin in any state. Though it makes no difference to the ultimate result of the race I am rather disappointed. Missouri has historically gone to the winner over the past century (except 1956 – Adlai Stevenson v the former Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces…what were we thinking?*). It would have been cool to continue the streak.

Good night all and God bless.

Side note: Despite being a major metropolitan city with over 2 million residents, Kansas City officially hates all things related to public transportation. Oh to live in a town with functional bus systems, subways or taxis. Bah.

*Definitely not as bad as Minnesota’s choice of Walter Mondale in 1984. I laughed every time that graphic appeared on the screen tonight…and it came up many, many times.
