So here is what I’m wondering: those people who live every minute of their lives online, who blog about everything and who post photos constantly, do they somehow do it seamlessly or is their effort very apparent when you’re hanging out with them? Are they constantly stopping to take a picture for their blog? I feel like I would post more pictures if I had a camera in my phone or a phone in my iPod (yes I am aware they now have these contraptions).

So, what’s everyone doing? I’m still undecided which isn’t all that unusual for me, although this year I think there’s a strong possibility I won’t do anything, which would be the first time I haven’t done anything in as long as I can remember. I’m tempted to indulge the homebodyness for one more night and then make 2008 the year of being less solo. Not that hanging out with Tobey and my parents is truly solo. It’s just kind of sad. And here’s the part where I’m supposed to say that really it doesn’t seem sad to me, except that’s not entirely true. I mean, I don’t think my choice or lack thereof of plans is sad, I just mean I feel a little sad. But I think New Year’s is a time for feeling vaguely mournful, right? I guess I’m just sort of tired and frustrated by a lot of things, and yet not wanting to have to do what is required to change them. I’m speaking in a very abstract sense, by the way. Not like I have a list of things. Maybe I do actually? Well I’m talking more about a general feeling of being in a rut more than specific elements of it.

I’m in LA recording red eye and I’m slightly flummoxed by the delay. If it looks like I’m doing some kind of pensive introspective thing looking off to the right it’s really just because I’m not sure when the camera is on me or off me. (There a half second or so delay between audio and video. Video is delayed). Also, I miss Tobey! What my mom doesn’t know is I plan to steal him. Now greg is talking about tramp urine.

Would be a good name for a burlesque performer in a Cabaret-style spoof.

wrong with the fact that I have tears in my eyes because Lauren from The Hills gets to go to Paris. (I’m catching up on the finale)

I just spent all this time importing clips only to go to play them and discover the audio was missing because I’d put the RCA cables in the output, not the input, because hey man, who am I to say there’s one right way to plug things? Also because I’m an idiot. Anyway, now I’m going to have to redo all those clips because I need my mellifluous tones, you know?

Also, we’re closing in on crucial puppy naming time.

Also, I’m being interviewed for a Biography Channel bio on Bob Saget on Wednesday.

Also, there’s a company party tomorrow night involving party-oke. Party-o-ke? Party-no-ke!

Also, Greg told me he hates when people add “tastic” to words. (“Oh God, you just did that thing I hate” is what he said.) This was after I said “scat-tastic” though, which I still think was the only applicable term.

Along the same lines, I think I’ve insulted a number of people with my publicly abhorring actionable. Seems quite a few people use that word.

Also, I overhead a guy on the street tell another one he’d been “rocking some serious, serious nausea” this week. I wanted to tell him I’d been “sportin’ some gnarly crabs” just to see what he’d say.

When you’re at a party that’s too loud to hear anyone but not too loud to hide the fact that you were repeatedly calling someone by the wrong name.

(oh and by the way, since you guys were asking/commenting, many of the particular things you mentioned from the Petty Criticism story were Dustin’s. We each wrote our own. Mine were “actionable” (and the fact that it’s now in the dictionary), getting carsick in winter gear, sweet n low, the monolithic JA phenomenon and the way Dustin totally crowded the list with his own picks. I am kidding.

A homeless man told me I looked “spiffy” tonight. Okay fine, he wasn’t just a homeless man, he was my homeless man. The one who lives on my corner. And while I didn’t give him any money, I appreciated his discerning taste.

So watch! I’ll be wearing either brown or greenish blue. Exciting!

However, did I really just hear a certain president say “the sticks and carrots approach”?

I think I did. Wow.
