Well, I dunno if you’re referring to t.v. talking heads or the seminal, witty band Talking Heads, but either way, I’ll take that over the MUSAK-ed Elvis Costello songs I got stuck with the other day. I got silver Havaianas a few months ago and now they seem like a horrible mistake. Like, I’m so frivolous that I need kinda-shiny flip-flops that go with nothng unless you’re the Tin Man. But pink seems like a good idea.
The hunt for laundry loonies…a quest I am glad to no longer be a part of. I always ended up buying rolls of loonies formt he bank (and then stealing them from myself for coffee)
“Will Luongo really help us this season?”
I got 20 bucks that says he will.
Oh honey, we ALL wish we could write like David Sedaris.
what are Havaianas and why are they so special? I mean, aren’t they just flip flops?
Havaianas last about five times as long as any others I’ve used, be they Reefs or Old Navy or Merrell or Teva or any of the rest. The rubber is super cushiony and resilient, and the style looks great on any foot. They’re a terrific flipflop.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen them around in Seattle. Everyone here wears Keen (which I think are funny looking) and I’m still wearing my Reefs and Tevas.
Thanks for the info! I read about them here and on Holly’s blog, so I knew they had to be what the cool kids are wearing.
I want to be Mrs. Havaianas.
I hate people who don’t comment. I hate repeat offender lurkers ( I can seeeeeee you!) who don’t comment. For these reasons I am commenting.
#8 on your list: This is why I keep stalling on even putting up a blogroll. What if someone hates me and doesn’t want me to link to them? What if I find out they kick puppies and I have to take them off and then they find me and kick me? What if?
Also, what is McSweeney’s?
What kind of Lush bomb?
I tried out a Black Pearl last night. Needs more jasmine, I think, but the purply-black water was exciting until I dropped my library book in it. Oops.
Desiree, this is McSweeney’s.

Funny lists and such.
And then I re-read Meg’s post and realize that she already provided a link.
Slinking away to bed now.
I think that you should subsitute the bomb bath for the warm ocean. AND it’s good for your hair. Kill 2 birds with one stone!
Hehe…when you said loonies, I immediately thought “Why is Meg looking for crazy people to do her laundry for her….???” Then I remembered that you’re from Canada…which I frequently forget to remember unless you’re writing about Canada Day or something like that…. oops…
Oh, and I just got done with David Sedaris’s book… “Clothe Your Family in Blue Jeans and Denim” (I think that was it anyway)…I bought it to read on the plane ride to VA way back in February, and just got around to reading it. It was fantastically funny.
In defense of lurking: I’ve always thought of lurking as polite reading without asking for any attention back. I think of posting comments as sort of a “hey, look at me, too” plea, which, in my opinion, would add nothing to your already excellent and entertaining posts.
But if you want us to unlurk to say hello, consider it done… “hello!”
Unfortunately, none of the things you mentioned can be found in the package I sent you. Sorry ’bout that. :)
Hi!
RE: #17. Perpetual Chapped Sand-papery spot.
Once I got here, many things on the list intrigued me, but it was honestly the chapped patched that landed me on this page. I can’t fucking figure it out. Where the hell do they come from? WHen willit go away? DO I have mouth cancer? Herpes?
