Dear Miata driver

Dear Miata driver,

You are in a Miata with racing stripes. You are going 50 in a 60.
A 20-year-old Ford pick up with a trailer is passing you.

FYI,
Driver behind you this morning on 170

I could totally eat a hundred of each of these right now

D fell asleep early, and H came over to keep me company. I wasn't thinking, and followed much wine with much beer. Way to end the Labor Day weekend!

Now it's almost lunchtime and I want a hundred...

1. McDonald's Hamburgers
2. Casa Gallardo Chunky Chicken Quesadillas
3. Hardee's sausage biscuits
4. Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunches
5. Cheese pizzas from Frankie and Louie's
6. Ding Dongs
7. Chicken wings, spicy
8. Grilled buffalo chicken sandwiches from Seamus McDaniel's (Homemade bleu cheese dressing!!!)
9. Bowls of that orzo pasta salad me and D used to make all the time
10. Bowls of Spaghetti O's, with meatballs

I'm reading "In Defense of Food" right now, but with cravings like these, I suppose it isn't sinking in like it should. Surely Michael Pollan has had a night or two of overindulgence followed by a breakfast/lunch of greasy goodness, don't you think?

Probably going to hit Subway

In favor? Opposed?

Things That Are Against Me Today (Nay!)

1. Acuras
2. The weather
3. The gas light in the Jeep
4. Gas prices
5. My orange highlighter
6. Wet pavement/asphalt
7. Taco Bell

Things That Are In Favor of Me Today (Aye!)

1. Poopy Diapers
2. Sandals
3. Taco Bell

New Directions

It has been over a year and a half since I've checked in at the ol' blog.

My NEW and FOCUSED idea is to publish lists. Of anything that pops in my head. Because the internets is interested.

For any idea that is negative, I will create a positive counterpart to maintain the balance (see below). The first list will be the initial idea.

A while back at an art exhibit, I saw an installation comprised entirely of lists made in pencil on loose leaf, ranging from music to weather to why the artist could not get laid.

I can't deny that I thought that was dumb. For an art exhibit. But not for a blog, right?

In honor of the title of this post, and my new direction and (gulp) commitment to updating, I humbly submit the following duo:

Reasons "Glee!" Sucks

1. Rachel's face and wardrobe
2. Quinn had a baby choreographed to "Bohemian Rhapsody"
3. Rolling Stone interviewed some of the actors (the chicks who play Rachel, Quinn, and Sue Sylvester, and the dudes who play Finn and Kurt), and they sounded like douches. Even Jane Lynch (Sue), which was disappointing.
4. Fake pregnancy thing.
5. Wasting Slurpees
6. Mr. Schue's singing
7. Nightmare-inducing "Vogue" video

Reasons "Glee!" Doesn't Suck

1. Sue Sylvester is a hell of a role model
2. Brittany's one-liners
3. I would not have heard "Single Ladies" if I hadn't watched
4. Neil Patrick Harris
5. Mercedes can wail!
6. Bursting into song is delightful!
7. Some of the mash-ups are pretty cool
