if a piano plays in the forest will anyone hear it?

this just made my day. ok, so i was having a fantastic day anyways, but it really was the icing on a beautiful sunday cake.

q and a with myself about this crazy world

if i've never owned a car, why should my tax dollars help out the big three? will my tax dollars make them less harmful to the environment? sounds sketchy.

will clinton put aside her ambitions and be the voice of obama?

will maldives save up enough money to buy a new homeland? and where will it be? the transition to iceland might be a little shocking.

i'd gladly take a pie

i experienced my first flash mob on friday, and my umteenth premonition, both of which i have previously mentioned. here is the footage i got of both before my memory card overloaded.

as if that weren't rad enough to make for an awesome weekend, sunday amy goodman spoke at the sf green festival! here she is...
if you don't know who amy goodman is, then get on it. she's one of my heroes. and while you're at it, check out democracynow.org!

the extra minute before breakfast

i'd really like to know who the genius is that invented the ketchup packet. i mean, ketchup packets are great but who uses just one? its a ridiculously small amount of ketchup. it takes at least four for any real enjoyment. meanwhile syrup packets are gigantic?

i hope the green revolution includes a more eco and portion friendly packet.

the consolation is that ketchup is thixotropic. pretty sweet.

silly justice

whats up with ridiculous jail sentences? 235 years in jail? seriously? i wonder if there's a club (in prison) where the fellons compete by jail sentences, or if the extra hundred years gives you extra cred? or perhaps, if there is some hierarchy that's determined by it? can't they just say prison for life, no parole? if i was a judge i'd feel like a douche saying someone was sentenced to three hundred eighty four and a half years. just saying.

unfocused, obviously

the whole obama madness withdrawal is really starting to get to me. so i've been blog-hunting and you know what i've learned? cute fashion artsy blogs always have white backgrounds! was there a memo? its amazing. and i of course, feel left out even though i'm not a particularly artsy fashion blogger, oh well. i guess i just wanted something else to believe in.

here are a couple ideas for my new unmanaged time
my own personal recipe book. i realize this might make me sound old but hey wouldn't it be nice to have all your recipes in one place? yes i think so. ooh maybe i should make a recipe box? i think a journey to paper source is soon in my future.
repaint my room. right now its a delightful shade of watermelon, soon it will be...
figure out some way to beat my holiday cards from last year.

side note, has anyone seen the at&t commercial with the talking heads on thumbs? its super creepy. i'm glad the only thing my thumb says is up.

my listing is causing blogger anxiety, i'm sure i had more items to occupy my time.
ooh yes, big one, get my drivers license. yes i am a 25 year old without a license, and yes even the people at the dmv had a good chuckle about it when i got my driver's permit this week. by the way, all the provisional license posters should note that its only for minors, the laugh from the teller when i asked if i really needed a parent in the car with me was unnecessary, and no i don't.

all this listing is making me hungry, so first things first, salad with feta and pears. yum.

a revolution in heartburn

what a week!

i am in such a need for nap time that even though i wore regular pants to work, i have since changed into a brand new pair of extra cozy (read: fuzzy) university sweatpants. yes i am wearing sweatpants at work and i might just be caught with my eyes closed, pretending to be doing data analysis.

let's start with sunday, SHE & HIM were amazing at bimbo's! since my slight obsession with zooey i had very high expectations, and i was barely disappointed. i guess i imagined zooey to be more quirky, she was insanely precious but also a little shy and reserved. but man oh man can she sing, and her and m. ward are a match made in heaven. she played all the hits plus a couple new songs and covers (including "i put a spell on you" (swoon!)).

after the show was true blood, where sam's true colors were shown! werewolf? maybe not so much, collie? yes. too bad there are only three more episodes of the season, damn you hbo for making such good tv shows with such short seasons!

monday, a lovely visit from my favorite suffragist!

tuesday. despite the fact i should dedicate an entire blog to the momentous events of that beautiful day, let's just say that if you could graph my heartburn levels over the last week it would look like the stock market crash. i made deviled eggs and spicy jalapeno artichoke dip to celebrate.

whew, what day am i on?
wednesday, the obama high continued and a much needed night of comfort food, wine and good company. geeesh.

oops, i guess i should have started the week at halloween. my costume renewed my faith in people, i was juno and was kindly offered a seat on the bus.

breathing. everything is going to be okay.

insert dramatic music

its 4:30 on election day, which means its 7:30 on the east coast and polls are closing. i'm at work but barely working. i'm also wondering if i will ever feel the way i do right now ever again. like this is one of those cheesy moments in movies where something big happens, like this is the day i'll never forget. i know i'm a cheeseball.

i've got tons to write but am literally on the edge of my seat, so they'll have to wait.

fingers crossed.
