Don’t want to complain about not living in New York, but things like this make it difficult.

The Reezun for the Seezun
Whenever people say something about “the TRUE meaning of Christmas”, I always want to reply, “Oh, you mean David Sedaris doing his Billie Holiday impression in ‘The Santaland Diaries’?”

I watched it, but all I saw was the shiba.

So I am watching 'Once Upon A Time'
Because whatever. BUT do NOT make a big speech about your Honeycrisp apple tree while holding a big basket full of Red Delicious that you try and pass off as “its fruit.” Don’t insult me like that, people.

I’ve never asked a favor of the internet, but could someone please edit that one scene in “The Fellowship of the Ring” so that after Pippin knocks the corpse/bucket down the well, instead of hearing orc battle drums, “Blue Monday“ starts playing? Like, immediately after this part. I could not ask for more.

Got on the 358 coming home from the game, and stood in the front like we usually do, since ours is the next stop. Halfway there, a guy comes up and tells Tami that a woman sitting behind us “took a picture of ya man’s ass” with her iPhone. Right before he went back and voluntarily identified her for us (none to subtly), he whispered, “My woman would kill me if I pulled some...

Thoughts on booze, I guess.
So you know how people make up cocktails for/name them after other people? Like…like I can’t think of an example, but you know, you make up this crazy drink that is really probably not as crazy as you think it is (because, hello, there are a lot of heavy drinkers in this world) and name it for your friend who got so drunk this one time when you were making them for your housemates? OR...

Snow/Nico Muhly
Listening to this, read this and reading this. Plus school, which will probably absorb more and more of my time as the quarter progresses. The big snow we were supposed to get Tuesday night/Wednesday has disappeared from the forecast, replaced with high winds and rain. I am pleased, mostly for the sake of Tami’s commute/sanity, but a small part of me would have loved another good snowstorm,...

CLICK TO MAKE SOME MUSIC
Well THERE GOES HALF AN HOUR OF MY LIFE
I am really good at making jamz with this.
Also, I feel like this is what themattsmith does every day.
This is really neat!
Man, it is impossible to make a bad sounding song on this thing.
BEHOLD THE SPLENDOR OF MY BEGINNING! Or...

17 year-old Tami in an email to her boyfriend
I like Herbal Essence. I like cheap sunglasses. I hate the phrase “bone meal.” Power walkers kind of scare me. I like underarmor. I like getting my back scratched. I like coloring. If I was stuck on a spaceship for five years with five people, they would be: Shawn and Andrea, my third cousin Janna, Amber and you. Badminton frustrates me. I like cats. I like Dr. Pepper. If everything else in my...
Don't tell me I can't remember!
Is it Christmas yet? No.
Is it time for Christmas things? Depends what elements you’re talking about. Christmas trees? No. Christmas lights? Not for outside, but yes for inside. Music? Sure. Sufjan’s Christmas EPs (esp. no.’s 4, 5, and 8) gets played year-round, as does Handel’s Messiah (especially this and this - seriously, both so good), most of which isn’t really...

This is probably a stupid thing, but you can read about it anyway.
So what have the Bloks been up to these past two weeks? Not a whole lot, really. I (Tami) started work on the 30th, although for the first week and a half of that I sat in a classroom with two others and received a plethora of information about some computer system that the clinic uses. But it’s okay, I got paid to do this and was usually home by 4:30. I’ve been driving to Everett...
My artwork
So I have this great idea for this art thing, which will probably be either a giant photograph or maybe a film, but anyway, it will be me in a movie theater, sitting in the seats surrounded by all these famous people, but probably mostly movie stars and directors, and the glow from the screen will be on all of our faces, only I won’t be looking at the screen. I will be a.) looking to the...
