Coming to You Live From the Corner of My Couch

More failed endeavors:
  • a change purse
Inspired by Sunday's Target ad featuring a $135 sewing machine, and resisting the obvious temptation to buy said item, I opened the closet and dusted off Ye Old Singer. "What should I make?" "Uh." "...Wallet?" "Sure." "Or...." "Hey, Drumline's on TBS." "Ooh!"
My project sits abandoned on the kitchen table.
  • artichoke pasta
This was a particularly stinky adventure, on account of the minced garlic. I sought guidance from allrecipes.com. I entered my ingredients and loosely followed the instructions. The breakdown occured around the cooking time: noodles do not cook correctly "give-or-take a minute."
  • fitting into my jeans
Speaking of which, I cannot believe (per Cosita's entry), that someone would knowingly subject their body to the triangulation of skinny jeans. When did "taper" become a selling point?!
Additionally, if it were New Year's, I'd resolve not to buy things that don't fit with the assumption that guilt will move me to work toward them as a goal. Ass! Dammit! Haha. Both of those are appropriate exclamations!

As it stands, my real resolution is still in full effect.
Consider that a successful endeavor.

i know you don't know me. and really, i don't know you. anyway, i wanted to compliment you. today, i stumbled across your blog when i was searching for something fun on the internet about pity laughs... anyway, your story about the boy-who-is-just-a-friend and i read some of your other blogs. you make me laugh. you are incredibly articulate.

i'm not weird... nor am i surfing for love. i'm a girl and i'm not a lesbian. honestly. i just thought your blog was fun and it helped me get thru some time at work this afternoon.

peace out.
(p.s. - when you go to my blog, you'll see there's basically nothing there. really, i just use myspace, but i have my blog because i use it to comments on my friends' blogs.)
