New Rules




Despite Dave's suggestion a few posts ago about me being an NPR girl, I assure you this is not the case. I fit the profile, and yet the actual station causes me to break out into hives. I fear sentences that began -- I heard on NPR that . . . Again, why? Best guess -- I don't like talk radio of any kind. I dread anything labelled "world" music. I have never shopped at Anthropologie . . .

Fair admission: I do yoga. I have tried meditation without much success. All that chanting aaah makes me visualize myself as a tire with the air going out of it. I don't think that's supposed to be the point. I have dined at a vegan restaurant. It wasn't bad! I felt my liver go into shock at the introduction of actual healthy food into my body. The only sadness was they didn't serve Dr. Pepper, only Agave limeade. Again, not bad, liver in shock. I'm glad to report that I didn't hear about the place on NPR. Not that there's anything wrong with that! If you need me, I'll be listening to Howlin' Wolf . . .

Cocktail Hour
Episode of Detroit 187 last night was awesome. Look for the Heidelberg Project (often featured here in photographs) next episode!

Benedictions and Maledictions
Happy Wednesday!

Better to hear it on npr than read it on the internet, or worse see it on fox news...

Yeah Dave doesn't know you well. He has no clue that you dust your Micheal Jackson and Britney Spears CD collection daily and you have and watch with utter regularity every movie Lindsey Lohan has been in (it's that train wreck fixation you have) and he also doesn't know and I shouldn't tell him this, but Dave, Michelle was Paris Hilton's first follower on Twitter and she has a small crush on Ashton Krutcher and wept inconsolably for days when he married old what's her name.

When you think of the Howlin' Wolf line you have to remember she writes a LOT of fiction.

Major bad-ass bonus points for the bullets on the nightstand.

Yeah, I feel the same way about talk radio. I don't really get it.
