Imogen Heap Day?

Mainstream indie.
Sure to put you in a gemutlich mood.

If you've lain in bed wondering what obscure holiday you share your birthday with, rejoice, you no longer have to wonder. I found it particularly relieving that September 22nd is not only Dear Diary Day, but also Hobbit Day. The 22nd always nags at me, like there's something I'm missing. Maybe it's hobbits.

Give Me the Cheeseburger and No One Gets Hurt...

How much does a McDonalds's cheeseburger cost? The menu says $.99, but you might have to pay some dignity, too.
I was wearing a tie yesterday. That's not entirely unusual for me. I bought it at a thrift store; it's incredibly retro and looks like something Mike Brady might have worn to a business meeting. Other than the tie, my clothing was, I thought, perfectly in sync with the supertrends of the day: white shirt, blue jeans, flip-flops and a military-style hat.
I was going through the drive-thru at McDonalds with Vanessa. As I handed our money to the blonde, blue-eyed, braced cashier, she notices my outfit. "So is it dress-up day or something?"
"No," I replied. "I just have a weird sense of style."
She stared at me with a blank expression, smiling. Braces, blank staring, smiling. It was weird. And it wasn't the only comment I got on the tie. Maybe Mike Brady should stay in the 70's.
Dress-up day? Psssh.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment with my trauma therapist.

Eh...

I think I'm taking an inadvertant hiatus from blogging again.
My life is really busy right now, but it's not bloggably busy.
I'll be back eventually, though...and hopefully before Fibonacci.
