Even though I know if I were still at my old job there would be free Sprinkles cupcakes today, I do not miss it!
Today I saw a car with the license plates BADWOOF. It made me sort of sad that I didn’t think of it first, even though I wouldn’t pay the extra money to have a personalized plate. Then I started thinking about personalized license plate frames, because I am a huge jerky geek. I did accidentally name my car Rose after all.

Last week I went to this party and at this party I had a conversation with a very nice young lady and within No Exaggeration within ten minutes of talking to me she called me “intimidating.” I did not even prompt it or anything, which means PERSONAL BEST! Not the first, probably not the last, but definitely the fastest.
Which really makes you wonder what kind of jerk I must be, right? At parties in particular. If this were an episode of Man Men likely you would later in this episode see two of the account managers talking and they would be like, “Meg? Ugh. Comes on a little strong, doesn’t she? I mean if I really want my cheese grilled I’ll drink a bottle of whiskey and lie to my wife huh oh god I’m so lonely.”
I want to watch that episode.
I love typos.
Also I get so excited when people think I’m intimidating.
Today’s highlight was when a magenta-haired dubiously-homeless* girl told me she liked my hair.
*My employer is in a strange sort of town where the people begging for spare change are often better-groomed and -dressed than a lot of your friends.
Things I didn’t see myself doing in Los Angeles that I have been doing:
- going to a baseball game and
- buying music from the Country Music aisle at a Best Buy.
To be fair I also tried to buy the new Mountain Goats record. Let’s debate: cute or stupid that I genuinely thought it would be there? Amoeba is no longer on my drive home.
My friends and I are really going to have to learn not to make fun of everyone if I’m going to drive my new car with the top down.
I’m not going to say anything along the lines of “sell out” but it’s still weird to me every time I hear the New Pornographers singing along to the University of Phoenix.
At night when I’m winding down, I watch
Frasier in syndication on Lifetime (oh, I know). For some reason, it became my comfort TV a few years back and it’s stuck, and comfort TV when you’re going to sleep is pretty much an A++ combo. But, anyway, the point is that it drives me crazy that when the characters go to Cafe Nervosa, sometimes they have to go to the counter to order, and sometimes they get waiter service at the tables. I really don’t understand the set-up at all. I guess maybe you get a choice, but I have yet to find a real-life coffeeshop where such a choice is available.
Is the staff at my new office made up of the nicest people ever, or was I just working in Hollywood too long?
This weekend really split up the world between those concerned with 4.01 of
Doctor Who and
Battlestar Galactica, didn’t it?
