Parboiled

Since my brain has been parboiled enough by the heat to stay home from work, I'm following [livejournal.com profile] dragolyn's lead and doing a meme (which I normally don't do, but I have nothing else to update the journal with except bubbling over with how much I adore Queer Eye for the Straight Guy).

LOL!!! Okay, that'll make me giggle for the rest of the day. How adorable. Cats are such characters.

I have an ongoing iced tea addiction myself. We should get together and drink iced tea together, LOL. I'll email you.

And it's damn hot!

It really is just too damn hot. My house is already near 90 and I've had the windows open all day.

The saddest thing about my iced tea addiction is that when i couldn't keep up with it by brewing tea, I had to learn to like the powdered instant stuff. I've always thought my twin and I were actually separated from our real siblings at birth and that we're not related, except that we share this iced tea addiction and when she hadn't been here for years to visit, she asked me on the way from the airport, "do you have any iced tea mix" and I said, well, yeah, and she said, "Lipton?" and I went, duh! We're sad, sad people.

I'd love to get together, hopefully it'll be cooler!

[03] The Complete Film Dictionary by Ira Konigsberg

I got this for my birthday last year. I adore all that shit *g*

[03] Alphabits cereal

*giggle*

I adore that you included this as favorite. Can't tell ya why.

The lengths I have to go to get Alphabits here in my neck of the woods is extraordinary. You know you're hooked when you'll drive somewhere just to get it.

I love on cereal, and it's a bad thing, but I can't help it. Me and Jerry Seinfeld.
