The Sweetest Scrooge Ever
After Midway Airport held me hostage, I arrive in KC and snow befalls my hometown in a fit of fckin rage. Spills over into Christmas Day.
Me: Ma, Auntie called. No one wants to get out. It's too bad. Postponing dinner for tomorrow.
Mom: Good. I didn't feel like cooking or cleaning anyway.
Me: What am I supposed to eat?
Mom: Oh yeah...
I love a warm homecoming. We still haven't had Christmas dinner.

Reliability Blues
Sometimes I think about random shit and today’s random item of shit rests with my sole reliability on people and the system…but mostly the internet. At 12:45 I land in muthasuckin Chicago with a sense that this city would trap me for at least one flight. The flight attendant greets me with, “…well, most flights out of Midway were cancelled…” and I think...

She: I love holiday parties! You get to see people in rare form.
He: Yeah, I'm leaving if I feel my rareness approaching.
She: You have to maintain your composure...or start drinking after everyone else is hammered.
He: I wonder how many of them gonna hit on me today? It's gonna happen.
She: Many, I presume.
He: Many? I'm not that much of a looker. I'ma have to lean on my drunken wit. As usual.

Another reason why Google is the sh*t... →
Vevo, Google and Universal Music’s new website, officially launched last night. This is the deal…users create video playlists (official vids) and don’t have to wade through some of the user-gen crap out there. Peeps call it “the Hulu for music” because it jacked the Hulu model for attracting high end advertisers. Let me know your thoughts. Great concept…but...

WatchAlthough SNL caught slack for the Tiger Woods sketch, the spoof of Michaele Salahi and her husband Tareq a.k.a. The White House crashers hit the nail on the head!
Writing for SNL=wet dream, featuring my future husband who I do not know. *Sigh*

Background Soul
He: If I had to come back in another form, I would come back as a large black woman that can sing.
She: Why?
He: All great bands have a large black woman singing background...Pink Floyd, Radiohead. And I mean, there's Aretha Franklin in general.
She: Damn. You have a point.

A substitute for the lonely
I enjoy and despise the co-dependent nature of friends that obviously revel in the importance of the energy that exists, yet lack understanding too. It is not a romantic energy, although romanticism rests amongst hidden treasures of time…minutes, seconds of transient delight nestled within the artistic odyssey of making it. But it falls short, with unassuming and colorful overtones of a cunning...

Tell me something...
He: Tell me something completely off base that you like that we've never chopped up before.
She: I like the ocean and everything you can do in it.
He: Swimming and sailing would be the extent of that I'd imagine.
She: And surfing and water skiing...use your imagination.
He: I'm a bit of an aquaphobe. It scares me to use my imagination in that way.

I wear feather earrings because I plan to take...
I picture my feather earrings flapping…swish. Swosh. A gust of wind rushes through the window. It rushes through my eyelashes. My eyes are like glass. Clear and breakable.
My nipples harden, bearing sensitivity to everything around me…a voice, a car, the leaves falling from the branches outside. A truck drives by and snaps me out of my daze.
