briefly

A scene from my evening:

ANNA and JESS stand in one of their old college haunts, the local CVS store. JESS spots Tootsie Roll Midgees.

JESS: Holy Crap! 75% off!

ANNA: You've gotta get them, man.

JESS: I don't know, I'll eat them all and I might turn into one giant Midgee or something.

ANNA: Like Barbie's friend?

JESS: What?

ANNA: Like before Skipper, Midge, Barbie's friend?

JESS: Was she stout or something?

ANNA: No! She was tall and had short red hair.

JESS: What, was she --

RANDOM SCARY HOMELESS LOOKING DUDE: Hey girls! Nice peacoats! Haven't seen peacots on girls in a while, that's nice.

ANNA and JESS: ...

RSHLD: (Leaves)

~FIN~

I don't know about you, but there's no higher praise than that which comes from Random Scary Homeless Looking Dudes. It was nice to hear he enjoyed our peacoats. But! It also made me worry! Is my coat hopelessly out of style? But then I remembered: Do I really care?

Other highlight of the evening: I ordered a Mango Latte instead of a Mango Lassi (or however you spell it) at the Indian Restaurant, and didn't realize my mistake until the waitress repeated the actual name back to me like three times. I swear, you can take the whitebread suburban girl out of the suburbs, but you can't take the suburbs out of the whitebread suburban girl.

Also, do you even know how much I adore JC's new song? It is so fabulous and dancey! I can't get it out of my head. It is eating my brain and I don't mind. JC!

Oh, and one more thing, because Office Space is one of my all-time favorite movies.

( don't you want to know which office space character I am? )
