"It Was a Wednesday"

Am I the only one who has noticed the recent influx of ambiguous statements and trendy multiple-meaning slogans on t-shirts, bags, cars, etc? The quote above is from a t-shirt on-line. Why are these cool? Why?? Perhaps people want to be mysterious or these strange statements are funny in some way. People seriously need to stop wearing garments that proclaim "Because I can" or "C is for Crunk." These lame shirts are one step away from the kitsch that is "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor" and other tourist t-shirt wit. I blame Urban Outfitters, despite my own patronage of the store, for introducing t-shirts such as "Idaho? No, U-daho" and those "Everyone loves a ____ Girl" tees. The situation has gotten out of hand.

This site has an entire contest devoted to discovering the best meaningless slogans for t-shirts. What is the criteria for this? Most ambiguous? Most lame? I think the latter. Some day, we will all be wearing shirts with gems such as "i love music." and "Words mean things." You see someone in a shirt like this and you think, "Oooo, where did he get that, he is SO funny and fresh. I want my own meaningless-yet-somehow-there-is-hidden-meaning t-shirt!!" People are going to begin relying on these masterful pieces of wit pulled out of someone's ass for their own self-expression. At least come up with it yourself and say it, instead of wearing it. For how long can "It Was a Wednesday" remain entertaining?

*Disclaimer* This post does not serve as a dis for anyone who prefers, has bought, or admires such attire. Nor do the views expressed in this post preclude my ability to frequent said purveyors of merchandise or purchase said attire at any place, date or time.
I think I'm ready for law school.

Force Post

At least this quiz deal keeps me posting once a week. I just haven't been interested in posting lately, not that I've been particularly busy (I've had half the week off) but I just keep telling blogger I'm not in the mood, I "have a headache" so to speak.

So...

1) Are high five's cool or cheesy?
2) How many magazines do you subscribe to?
3) What geographical area do you prefer (ie ocean, mountain, etc.)?
4) What's your favorite Shakespeare play?
5) What am I doing this weekend? If you get something right, I'll give you a hug.
6) What formal dance would you like to learn?
7) When/where do you "space out?"

Encore Une Fois

1) What was your favorite sport to play when you were little?
2) What body part would you pierce, if forced to?
3) What do you do when you are bored?
4) Do you enjoy libraries?
5) What would you install in your backyard (if you had one) for enjoyment/entertainment?
6) What quality do you envy in others?
7) What color are your eyes?

Bonus! Courtesy of Ceity: When taking a shower, which body part do you wash first?

Knitting with Kitty

Nibbler keeps the stereotype alive.

Yay time!

Ok, I have a moment to post now. My boss is leaving for Italy this weekend (for 3 weeks) and is currently in a pre-vacation frenzy.

1) What are you excited about doing this weekend?
2) Are these quizzes essentially narcissistic or do you believe they draw everyone closer with the sharing of information and deep, dark secrets?
3) Do fart jokes make you laugh?
4) If you could have any animal as a pet, and reasonably take care of it (i.e. don't say rhino or something smartass), what would you want?
5) Do you think adults should have "big people sleepovers?" And I'm not talking about drinking or having sex all night, but playing innocent games and watching movies, etc.
6) How corrupt do you think you are?
7) Do you have names picked out for future children (and you don't have to share them cause we don't want to have any awkward, baby name stealing situations, do we?).

My Commercial Mind

So I'm driving home yesterday and I see a guy sitting at a bus stop wearing a black and white striped shirt and black pants. I think, "Oh look, a Foot Locker employee." After a few seconds of sitting at the red light, I realize he may be an actual referee, the odds of which are far more likely.

I don't know how exactly, but that thought process just seems wrong, twisted and backwards....

Things that I like and you should too

Here's an amalgamation of things I am currently enjoying:

Tegan & Sara's new album is SO good! I was going to buy it, but then my trusty genetic link came in handy and I burned it from my brother who had already spent his cash. Ha!

You should support Sante D'or. It's where our kitty came from. I inquired about filling their empty "animal photographer volunteer" spot!

Kenya was posted by Mr. Ceity, but I enjoy it so much that I stole it! Their feline rocking is hypnotic...

I like Fred Flare, but I need to return the aviators I just bought as they are just too large for my face, and you know they must be big for me to admit that...

I can't wait for Conan on the 12! Will Ferrell and Louis XIV! Woo!

Ok, ok, back to work...

You say it’s Friday? Where did my quiz go?

Wow, for some reason, I did not realize yesterday was Thursday until today (if that makes sense), and I’ve even been brainstorming questions (which I now forget). Opps! In other news, I executed a surprise attack on the USC law school admissions office yesterday, dropped off “additional materials,” and tried to break through the fortress that is their bureaucracy to get important people to see my face, but to not much avail. I’ve also signed up for the craptastic LSAT again. I’ve consistently been late to work this week, coming in at the crack of 10:15 at times… My system is all whacked out.

1) What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
2) Do you subscibe to the Toys R Us motto “I don’t want to grow up?”
3) What’s the last really bad movie you saw?
4) What frustrates you most at work?
5) When do you feel most beautiful/handsome?
6) What was your first car? When did you get it? Were you happy to have anything or sad about its crapiness?
7) What’s your porn name (you know, first pet + first street). Mine’s Marmalade Park! Sexy!

Can you tell I've Thoroughly Figured Out How to Post Pictures?

Not to diminish the cuteness and entertainment value of my own new kitty, but this is the most hilarious thing ever.

My dream day

The newest member of our family... as of yet unnamed. But his presence is known, oh yes, at 5:30 am. But it's kinda nice being woken up by a cute furball in your face.
