Note to self: If you get a cone of Jeni's Makers' Mark with Pecans ice cream, be sure to have gum handy. Else the cashier at the calendar store will look at you oddly as if you needed a shot of bourbon to shop City Center (which may well be true). And possibly the counter help at BBW/White Barn will share her concern, too. *facepalm* Seriously strong ice cream.

Upside: I now have a astrological wall calendar (so I don't have to rely strictly on the asshattery of the general public to plot the phases of the moon) and an America, the Calendar daily calendar for my desk at work. Right now I'm glad I don't share desk space with my boss (she of the nutty Christian variety). Much love to Jon Stewart and co.

Bath and Body Works has had a large reduction in inventory on it's first day of clearance pricing. So has my bank account. :)



I must make a confession: I've gotten into the teeny-tiny Strangers With Candy fandom, and with that, an obsession with Noblet/Jellineck slash. But it gets worse! I'm now flirting with the idea of RPS, which I've never quite understood.

It all comes from this interview quote:

They were not friends, at first: "Paul thought I was some stuck-up
guy from Northwestern whose tie was too tight, and I thought he was a
Neanderthal who could barely read," Colbert recalls. "As Amy said,
'They were both right.' Then we fell in love."

I do not need yet another obsession, especially another slash obsession.



I'm considering making resolutions this year. Maybe I should resolve to get some psychotropic medication to take away the urge to commit myself to promises I cannot possibly keep. :P

Night all.

Makers's Mark with Pecans ice cream, where does one get such a genius product?

And god, is it good! Like having a shot of bourbon with cream...

I approve, whole heartedly, of Makers Mark flavored ice cream. *g* But I'm from Kentucky, we are weened on bourbon, so of course I would.

I must try this.

Next time you're up here, you must come over and sample some. It's teh awesome!

My parents had a case of Makers' Mark in the crawlspace at one point...I never thought to ask them if they noticed it disappearing over one summer when I was about 15...:>

That is too great.

I have my Makers back in BG now. I am not there, but there is a bottle in the pantry that I can skive off of if I really want some.

Makers bourbon balls. *licks lips* So yummy.

Stupid question: What IS Strangers with Candy? :D

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

Not stupid! It was a sitcom on Comedy Central from 1999-2001, starring Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello.

There's a SWC page here:

It's a takeoff of after-school specials, very funny.

Ahhhh! That looks amusing. :D :D

God I love Strangers With Candy. Really I just love the Sedaris clan in general. I want to have an Amy and David sandwich.

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

That does sound quite yummy funny. :D

Now, an Amy/Paul/Stephen sandwich with me as a pickle on the side...mmmm!
