GIMME.

The funnel cake stand is taking FOREVER to open. Granted, I left the food area at 11:30, so it's possible they're waiting to open until after noon, but ... but I'm an adult, damn it! If I want to eat a pleasing breakfast of funnel cakes, then for fuck's sake, GIMME PASTRIES.

Oh, and when I left the house this morning, I discovered that my Regency writer's guide was waiting for me at the front door! Woohoo! Now I can start working on that novel, although I'd really like to finish Heroine Addiction and get GPW edited before I get that out of the way.

Also, I may be walking in the parade on Saturday to pass out candy. Yeah, give me a big bucket of candy and then tell me to give it all to other people. Let's see how that works.

This is fucking awesome.

Boosted from Feministing ...

At one point during Monday night's Green Day show at Madison Square Garden, Billie Joe Armstrong announced that he needed someone on stage who could play the guitar. And not just for a "three-chord song," he added, "for one with four, five, maybe six chords" -- "Jesus of Suburbia." After rejecting a few wannabes he stopped and asked a girl in the mosh pit if she knew how to play, then looked unconvinced when she said she did.

...The girl -- her name later was revealed to be Stephanie -- was wearing jeans shorts, a torn Misfits t-shirt, and a head scarf over her pigtails. Mr. Armstrong handed her the guitar, conferred with her briefly, then let her sit on an amp to get started. And then she...ripped! A few bars in she was wandering the stage like a pro and when Mr. Armstrong introduced her at the end, the crowd was shouting "Ste-pha-nie! Ste-pha-nie!" in appreciation.

And, DONE.

I have achieved funnel cake.

My life is now complete. \o/

Aw, why the hell not?

... seriously?

This year's Old Home Week theme is Mardi Gras. This means that everything is purple, green and gold and all of the floats in tonight's light parade have masks and a New Orleans theme and whatnot.

A float just passed my apartment, if you can even call it a float, which featured a truck pulling a boat that sported a cooler, a beach umbrella, and streamers.

The sign on the front of the truck? "Hurricane Evacuation Krewe."

Heh.

Wait, where have they been sending their war correspondents for the last 8 years?

Oh, Fox News. Really?
