BLUG

Just found out that this year's baby seal hunt is on. I've somehow managed to avoid hearing about it. Jesus. How is this still happening?!? And why does Canada, America's Sensible Older Sister (TM), let it continue? I mean, I know why, but really. If you catch my drift.

GIVE!

This word is really overused, but sometimes it is necessary:

This is the randomest celebrity/charity pair ever.

(like 'em both, though)

OBSERVED

A synonym of "politically correct" is "not fucked up." For example, "I hate this 'not fucked up' mentality our society has! If I want to say fucked up* things, I do it!" But it's harder to be proud of being "fucked up."

PENMAN'S SHIP

“ A man’s penmanship is an unfailing index of his character, moral and mental, and a criterion by which to judge his peculiarities of taste and sentiments

--Lord Philip Stanhope

Me: sloppily elegant. Full of flourish, yet controlled. Really good capital L's, T's, F's, and M's. My cursive has always been important to me because my boarding-school-educated grandmother was very particular about those kinds of things (her thank-you notes are exquisite). Now I don't know if my own grandchildren will be taught it. I might have to make them.

RING-A-DING-A-DING-DONG, I'M-A GET MY NOM ON

Remember when I asked a few months ago what that place on Rockville Pike that has a huge sign reading "HOOKAH/SHISHA/BUBBLE TEA/GELATO"? I found it. It's called Sam's Cafe, and looks awesome.
