Happy birthday, Nikola Tesla, you evil, haunted genius, you! Just look at your portrait! I never trust anyone whose eyes are set so deep that I can't make out the whites, but I've made an exception in your case because you contributed so much to society and I've always had an awkward crush on you that borders on necrophilia (which is illegal and even creepier than deep-set eyes, so who am I to judge in this specific case?).
Anyway, thanks for the electricity and shit.
Also happy birthday to Jack White. Jack White, your schtick only worked on me for three albums and then I started feeling silly spending $15.99 on the same cd over and over, but what great three albums those were. They practically shaped my early twenties. For a while I tried to dress duo-chromatically like you and sister/wife Meg, but my colors of choice were avocado green and flamingo pink, which somehow weren't as instantly classic as the red and white thing.
Best of mornings to you, OYIT, and please stop making me risk my prestigious internship by posting good morning posts at work after noticing that it is 10 a.m. and everyone else got too drunk last night to slap together a couple of music vids and some snarky commentary.
Just kidding, I lurve you all.
I didn't get drunk last night, I was just pissed nobody commented on my last good morning. And I'm still pissed! (Not at you though, Ingrid).
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't written one this week. Or wait, I did on Monday right??

ReplyDeleteYes. You wrote one, I wrote one and Ingrid wrote two. Did Maddie die? Where is Gary? Who is Harry Crumb?
ReplyDeleteMaddie commented while I was commenting!
ReplyDeleteI still wanna know who Harry Crumb is.
ReplyDeletei think gary may be dead!! i'm not though. i just have a time consuming internship!!!!! i'll try to write a gm for tomorrow, maybe, but i was going to try and write a "20 things i'd rather" tonight, too. maybe i'll do both!!
ReplyDeleteyou could do a "twenty things i'd rather do than write a GM post" and kill two bird with one stone.
ReplyDeleteMy how things have changed in the nearly 3 years since this was written.
