Tuesday randomness

How awesome a song is "Shut Up and Make Out" by The Hazzards? I just think it's so fun and sultry and sexy. Live, it's funnier I think, but listening to that version is hot. Not that I've ever been in that situation or anything. (Ha! That was a little joke.)

I got to see the fresh-from-Paris Miriam last night and it was so good to catch up with her. That girl's gonna take over the world someday, I know it, just as soon as she gets out of college. I don't have many friends who are 21, or even in the 21-year-old range, but when I talk to M. I forget all that. In some ways, we have more in common than I do with most of my friends, and it's not that people in my life don't get what I do for a living/my column writing, but I think it's just different when you do the same thing. Look for a new column from her on the 27th in the Columbia Spectator.

Lately I feel like an erotica robot and that's not really a good feeling. Thankfully I will soon have a little clarity and post-Puerto Rico plan to come back super refreshed and ready for the nonstop NYC event madness. I love it but am starting to lose it in the planning department. That's why when I can just spontaneously go to a show or something, it's so great. Last night I went to Twin Killing, a great comedy show at a generally skeevy bar, Swift, and everyone was really funny. Jordan Carlos was riffing on the Sunday New York Post and that made me laugh cause sometimes I write for it. There was this girl who was at the front who said "That's stupid" and the comics did a good job of working that in. The room's always a little weird cause it's mostly what seem like college kids who don't seem to care they're at a comedy show but the comics do a good job of talking around that.

Other than that, it's been all about mad catching up from my weekend of sloth and reading books about babies and moms. Not that I'm obsessed with babies or anything (yes, I admit it, I am totally, geekily, crazily obsessed with chilren right now and it's kindof freaking me out so I am just reading a lot and doting on my friends/family members' babies as much as I can to quell some of my own clock ticking). When I start carrying their photos around (not on the digital camera, that doesn't count), you'll know I've gone over the deep end.
