The Mystery of the Missing CaseLogic
Backstory: I lent my life's collection of CDs to my friend Doug. They were in a 15-lb CaseLogic. When I asked for them back, Doug INSISTED that he gave them back to me. I had given up hope... until I received the following gchat this morning:
Doug: i have a surprise for you
me: a surprise?
Doug: yes -- a surprise
me: what kind of surprise?
Doug: i found all of your CDs.
me: I KNEW IT!! I KNEW YOU HAD THEM!! You denied it for what, 3 years??
Doug: yeah, i know
My tumblr got a makeover (tumblover?) today! It’s called Scrapbook, and given that Logged Minutes is basically my online scrapbook, I thought it was apropos. Also, this theme will probably help my mother understand exactly what tumblr is. Tumblr themes: not afraid to be servicey?
Vacation Indicator
An email I just came across in my sent folder from this morning:
Hi (female client), Any response to the new video cut that we posted yesterday? Please let me know. xo/K
Signing your work emails “xoxo” = Major indicator you need a vacation

Shining Time Station
Does anyone else find it pretty hilarious that the man whose fame was largely associated with the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television was also the jolly train conductor on Shining Time Station? I think that parents would have been a lot more entertained by Thomas The Tank Engine if he had combined the two.

Fuck Your Registry
Coworker: What are you doing this weekend?
Me: Going to a bridal shower.
Coworker: My girlfriend has bought like 8 PRESENTS for her effing friend who is getting married. Bachelorette party, wedding shower, wedding present, baby shower, housewarming, christening gift-- it's fucking bullshit!
Me: Yeah, it gets expensive.
Coworker: You know what I'd do? I'd make fake donations to charities in their name. Yeah, I gave $200 to some internet charity. Fuck your registry!

If you could give your high school self advice...
juliaallison:
So … I’m asking you - if you could give your high school self advice upon graduation, what would it be?
Email me or reblog your answer.
I would tell them not to care about what other people think. I spent way too much time in high school worrying what the “cool” kids would think, or being insecure and imagining that people thought that I was a nerd, or a dork, or...

ok so i was curious to try this place, but seeing this, um, might just pass. unless someone wants to share the number (por favorrrrr!) in the interim for one first and final hurrah!
I went to Milk and Honey a while ago, and it definitely does not live up to the hype. Every time we talked above a low murmur, or laughed, or expressed an emotion other then ennui, a member of the staff...

So the bee gets a TON of comment spam. Most of it is your run of the mill annoying “allstate auto insurance” and “adult free porn xxx” stuff, but every once in a while, I’ll come across a totally bizarre comment that is just too funny not to post.
Today I was going through the Akismet filter, and there was one comment that had a ridiculously long list of porn search...
Jesus Christ, first I find out that Heidi and Spencer made a reprehensible $3 million in 2 years simply by existing, and now WHITNEY is getting her own show? Apparently, Olivia Palermo is going to feature on the show. I wonder if she wrote Whitney a letter?

Me: (this morning) Tyson Beckford??
Friend: Totally. I wanted to lick him raw.
Me: OMG. I danced with him once at a GQ party, it was a-may-may. where were you last night?
Friend: Bravo A list awards... the interaction was at the afterparty
Me: Ahhh, Clare's roommate was there last night too, she said she peed next to Tila Tequila
Friend: Haha... that's so amazing, I love B list celebs. Did you go to the Thrillist party last night?
Me: yes, pictures are up on my flickr
Friend: I want details
Me: Dude, go on gchat
Friend: I'm pooping be there in 5
Me: Oh my god, I cannot believe you are texting me on the toilet

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag may be one of the most controversial couples on television — but they’re laughing all the way to the bank.
Since coupling up on The Hills two years ago, the pair have raked in about $3 million from their TV salaries, club appearances, photo shoots and business deals.“We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives,” Heidi says.
