hey, if anyone who lives in LA has some extra money and wants to win me the milford academy sign, i’ll be really, really happy.
sadly enough, laverne and shirley was the top-rated show during the year i was born. i was hoping it would be something cooler than that, though i don’t know what i expected. (via tvsquad)
last night i went out for margaritas with some of my new (albeit temporary) coworkers.
me: hey, i guess we haven’t met yet. i’m alison.coworker #1: hi, i’m coworker #1.
me: oh! so you’re coworker #1! i’ve really been enjoying your pixies collection on itunes.
coworker #2: you’ve been listening to his pixies collection? that’s almost like getting into his pants!
…which wasn’t what i was trying to do, but i appreciated the sentiment all the same. one’s music collection can be quite personal. i’ve brought some of my music to work and am sharing it on the network under the name “free lance!” * i’m trying not to think too much about how the people i have yet to meet might judge me based on my music, in much the same way i did with coworker #1. because i was way off about him.
(though i did tell him how happy i was to see that he had doolittle. it’s one of my favorite albums of all time [it reminds me of this night], and on my first day there when i didn’t know anyone and had no idea what i was doing, i listened to doolittle all day and it made me feel better.)
* all my emails and chats at work are from “Free Lance” because i’m not going to be there long enough to warrant a personal “aheadley” ID. some people address me as Free, some as Lance, and D and i have expressed our hopes that one day lance will finally be free. it’s like free mumia but, you know, lance.
this list of sounds animals make in other languages reminds me of when everyone in ecuador would ask megan and me what sound a rooster made in english, and we’d say “cock-a-doodle-doo” and they would all fall down laughing. (via jko)
things that, when you get your car towed from the office parking lot because you parked on a curb that was SO not even marked and you have to call your sister to come pick you up and take you to the towing place back behind the airport to find out how much your car costs and then to the nearest gas station so you can use the ATM to get the money out of your account, just make everything that much worse:
