I'm not dead yet.

I once read that it's a good idea every once in awhile to shake up your shower routine, or to try brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand--you know, to keep your brain sharp. I think if you do this shake-up inadvertantly, though, it keeps your brain dumb, and also causes your hair to remain dirty because you didn't wash it as soon as you got in the shower, as you normally would, and you didn't realize this until your hair dried all lank and sad. I'm wearing a fake fur hat today instead of washing my hair. The rest of me is spring fresh.

Much like the great outdoors is spring fresh. Weather is so crazy, isn't it? From massive life-threatening snow dump to standing meltwater in the garage in one week! I have a personal imperative that involves blogging about the weather as little as possible, even though I think climate is probably the single most important factor in shaping the overall temperament of any given region's inhabitants. I've probably said that before and it's probably facile and reductive, so who needs to hear it again? Not you.

Do you know any big and/or tall men who need western shirts? Check my ebay auctions and don't laugh at my model shots (I'm not modeling the big and tall shirts, though maybe I should've). Or, whatever, you can laugh if you want to. I do like to think about ebay people dressing up in outfits they're getting rid of and taking timer portraits. It's pretty ludic. Instead of laughing you should probably be impressed by the miniscule hint of arm muscle definition evident in one of the pictures. Going to the gym! It totally works!

To mitigate my own lack of blogular fodder I present you with a link. For Mimi Smartypants, she is always funny, but I laughed out loud at her last entry, because of the waffle thing. I am also presenting you with another link, mostly for the Big Fat Soprano, who is generally stabbing her eye out at work right about now: polyvore.com, which allows you to assemble fantasy outfits. I will probably not use it for anything, but you can bet that if I had a boring job I would play on Polyvore for an hour or so a day.

In the last week or so I have learned of two betrothals and one pre-engagement in my circle to add to the other two engagements that happened in the last two months. It's a blingy crew I hang with these days. I feel that a generalized mazel tov is in order because love is in the air, and that is always a fine and beautiful thing. So mazel tov, my people.

Also, this weekend we followed up a beautiful dinner out by watching Lady in the Water, which has officially supplanted "The Lake House" as the biggest netflix queue gaffe of the Brit's career. He did ask me to stop bringing up "The Lake House" in conversation, which I will gladly do because I can now bring up "Lady in the Water" instead. A more heavy-handed, nonsensical pile of horseshit I have never seen. It was almost too barfy to be hilarious.

Bring out your dead,
Maven.

Spinning: Guillemots.
Feeling: Mehhhh.
Plotting: Cooking dinner early and continuing to write.
