No time to put together a Lovable List for today, so I leave you with this hysterical video.
I hope this video helps you get in touch with your ghetto side, just in time for the weekend!
Have a great one, kids!

Some of my favorite things
Back for another edition of some of my favorite things.
As some of you can tell, I haven’t been having one of the best weeks, so it’s always nice to look at pretty & desirable items to decrease those feelings of mass murder. At least, it works for me.
So I received the latest CB2 catalog and am going to run down some of my fav’s. Some issues are not all that impressive, but this time around called for me to whip out the permanent marker and go crazy with the circling. You’ve been warned!
Engineer Dining Table – $399
I love the raw look of this table and think it would look amazing as a dining room table in a really modern space. And that price! Diggin’ it!
Cityscape Shower Curtain – $39.99
I’m always on the lookout for a new hip shower curtain and this one is lovely. Unfortunately, our CBGB curtain is on its last legs and I think this one with its bright yellow elements would look great in our mainly grey bathroom.
Desktop Chalkboard – $14.95
Being a fan of chalkboard-anything, I think this is an adorable idea. Maybe not for the office-office, but definitely a cute statement for a home office.
Happy Hump Day: Jason Schwartzman
Having a pretty irritating night as I write this up, so excuse if I am not as bubbly as usual. Jason has been a favorite of mine since Rushmore and it was basically solidified after I Heart Huckabees. He the ultimate “cool yet nerdy kid.” I absolutely loved him and Zooey Deschanel together. It basically broke my heart when they separated and then was stomped on yet again when he became engaged and married to clothing designer, Brady Cunningham, last month. He’s probably best known as Wes Anderson’s golden child: appearing in the majority (if not all?) of his movies and for that infamous line from Rushmore: “These are OR scrubs. O R they?” Jason is now the star of HBO’s new series, Bored to Death, which premiered this past Sunday and I found to be completely hysterical. Also, he has his own band, Coconut Records, which I find to be amazing. Basically, he is the perfect man for all those indie hipsters out there (and me). Enjoy the spam, ladies!
We Could Be Heroes…
…Just for one day night!
Sorry for the super duper late post everyone, but last night we hosted a viewing party for the season 4 premiere of Heroes! Although a few fans couldn’t make it at the last minute, we still had a good time. However, I must say that it was quite the challenge to watch a 2-hour season premiere with people that had never watched the show before, but they were troopers and dealt with my yelling and grumbling under my breath. 😉
Our awesome friend, Roxy, made these kick ass brain cupcakes in honor of our favorite character, Sylar (of course). They were absolutely scrumptious but I have to admit that as I put the brain (actually a mold using candy) portion in my mouth, I may have gagged a little. The coolest part about these cupcakes is that I tweeted about them this morning, and Ms. Wendi Lynn herself re-tweeted me with a message from a little guy you may know:
Uhhhh, awesome sauce. Have I mentioned how much I adore Twitter? Because I do. Just sayin’.
Anywho, as if these cupcakes weren’t enough, we also put together some pretty tasty Chicken & Waffles dishes, which ties in to the show as being Hiro’s favorite childhood meal. We definitely got no complaints on that front – the plates basically disappeared in a puff of smoke (super powers?). I also provided super hero masks to the girls (boys refused), which we found to be pretty debilitating in regards to drinking beer effectively and, you know…seeing. So those were short-lived.
So on to the stuff I know you really care about: the show. Do not read on if you do not want to be spoiled.
Weekend Highlights
On Saturday night, I went with the hubs & Elsie to Lincoln Road theater to see the documentary, It Might Get Loud. The movie revolves around Jack White (The White Stripes), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and The Edge (U2) as they discuss their different backgrounds, musical styles, influences and general passion for music. The three eventually get together to discuss what music means to them and to swap musical stylings with each other. I didn’t know the story behind these men, even being a big fan of their music, and was blown away by the level of dedication and creativity. Music is such a big part of my life so I was mesmerized by their techniques and just general love for their craft. I definitely recommend this documentary to musicians and music lovers alike!
