Current Mood: highly amused
[info]notjenschiz has been singing the praises of Tim Minchin to me for a while now, forwarding me links to several witty and amusing videos. I am tempted to drop everything I'm doing today and jump down the rabbit hole of Tim's YouTube channel and watch everything. This guy is brilliant.

Please enjoy this fantastic 9-minute (and NSFW) skeptic's rant. :-)

Nov. 14th, 2009 @ 11:57 am Santa Monica Gobble Wobble
Current Mood: humanitarian-ian
I went for a run this morning, which reminded me that I'm running a 5k Thanksgiving weekend. (Oh, yeah.) Two weeks from today, in fact. The first annual Santa Monica Gobble Wobble benefits the Westside Food Bank, and all participants are encouraged to bring donations of non-perishable food. If any Angelenos would like to contribute to my food donation, please contact me to arrange a drop-off. I'm home most evenings.

Here's what they need.
Cans of: Tuna, Vegetables, and Soup / Fruits and Fruit Juices / Pork & Beans / Stews & Other Meats. Packaged Foods: Pasta, Lentils, Pinto and other beans. / Macaroni & Cheese & Packaged Dinners / Instant Soups / Hot and Cold Cereals / Peanut Butter & other Nut Butters / Nutritional Bars: protein, granola, energy or breakfast bars. (No glass please, except for baby food.)

Thanks!

  • 01:05 This has been a pretty damn good week. 1) Hanging out with friends a lot... #fb #
  • 01:07 2) One of my sisters won tickets to see Huey Lewis later this month and is taking me along... #fb #
  • 01:08 3) @dzilizi is taking me to NYC sometime in the near future on Martha Stewart's dime. Seriously. #fb #
  • 01:31 With braces going on tomorrow, what should be my last-hurrah food from the no-no list? I'm thinking Abba Zabba. trunc.it/34ckw #fb #
  • 10:01 Commencing with eating no-no food item no. 1: cheddar cheese popcorn. T minus 3 hours 30 minutes to braces. #fb #
  • 12:34 T minus one hour to braces... #fb #
  • 13:17 Thwarted! No Abba Zabbas to be found. Now racing to my appointment. #fb #
  • 13:46 twitpic.com/oehpa - Before... #fb #
  • 15:29 twitpic.com/oewq2 - After! They had the time, so we went with the full grill, top and bottom. #fb #
  • 16:05 Oh, this is fun. I can't chew. And not because of pain... #fb #
  • 16:06 Because of my overbite, they affixed plastic nubs behind my upper canines to prevent me from biting down on my lower brackets... #fb #
  • 16:08 which effectively keep me from biting down, pretty much at all. Good times! #fb #
  • 16:28 Last braces-related post for now. I should just work under the assumption that food is stuck in my braces all the time, shouldn't I? #fb #
  • 16:54 twitpic.com/oewq2 - Great. I look a little cross-eyed too. Quite fetching. :-S #
  • 17:34 Attention @edgyspice: Calling all artists! There are molemen to be drawn! bit.ly/10mRui @hodgman will thank you (via @jawboneradio) #
  • 18:33 Ah. There you are, pain. I've been expecting you. #fb #
  • 18:39 On the plus side, new braces guarantee that I won't be distracted from grad school by any of that pesky romance. ;-) #fb #
  • 22:10 Hey, @RichardABecker. @JackDagger's looking for a few burlesque performers for next Thursday's
    western vaudeville show at Fais Do Do. #
