As I was re-living my childhood and watching Doug this evening, I had a kind of disturbing revelation. You know that small, gender-ambiguous person they use as bait on To Catch a Predator? Well that person must do the voice of Doug Funny. Anyone else hear it?

A procession of people carrying candles and umbrellas and musicians playing As the Saints Go Marching In just came down my block. What was that?

As a former coworker, I can say that this is not exactly what Carl Kasell-BOT looks like.

One of my favorite things to do when I’m bored is Google-Image NPR hosts to see what they really look like. But this is better.

This song will always make me think of pulling all-nighters while writing high school lit papers.

Yup. While you guys were grinding to Nelly and unearthing obscure alt-rock bands, I was quietly jamming to this. In front of my computer. Uh-huh.

To be fair I also listened to a TON of Enrique Iglesias (or, rather one particular Enrique song on repeat) around the same time. I don’t know if that makes this confession more or less damaging.

Oops.

So I walked to the gym, took a spin class in a room full of mirrors, made small talk with strangers and heartily patted myself on the back for having my shit so together. Then, as I went to leave, I realized my shorts—the kind with built-in underwear—had been inside-out the entire time.

The droplet of dignity I have left forbids me from posting a picture, so you’ll just have to imagine the monochromatic diaper-over-shorts-looking getup I was sporting as I furiously pedaled in place. Sigh.

When I heard this song today I wanted so badly to return to being 16 years old and drive around the burbs blasting this tune. My friends and I became unironically enamored with the melody during the dawn of the Mixed CDs and right as we learned to drive. It was the perfect storm for some carefree and (mostly) innocent summer memories.

Anyone want to rent a zip car and cruise around the city? I make an excellent passenger and a damn good nostalgia playlist….

Happy Solstice

Happy Solstice:

Happy Solstice from the God Warrior. “SHE ONLY BELIEVES IN THE MOON!”

Also, if I wanted to audition for any sort of acting role, this would totally be the monologue I’d perform.
