LAURA, POST.

I just realized that My Uncle John doesn't have an email account. And never has. Isn't that a great thought? That someone out there has a happy life without email or really the internet?

I found this website on someone's facebook that is just 109 pictures of cats wearing sweaters. Then T-love and Carol caught me looking at it in Cafe Roy. It was pretty embarrassing.

Happy Wednesday,
Lem

If I had all the money in the world I'd give everyone Planet Earth on dvd for Christmas.

Lem,
You might like this movie I watched called "The Radiant Child". It's about
<-------this painter
Jean Michel Basquiat. I give it two thumbs up.

Other monday thoughts:
a) I wish I had hand cream.
b) I wish my identity hadn't been stolen so I could buy people Christmas presents.
c) I wish I was better at saving money for rainy days. Why can't I seem to keep more than $20 in the bank?
d) I want to see these movies: black swan, winter's bone, harold and maude.


I wish I knew/had the money/had the time to throw pottery.
Meow,
Lem

Christmassssss

Thinking about family this season, aren't you? I knead a hug Lem :)

First Snowfall

The perfect Christmas present. Let's light a fire and cuddle baby.

Love,
Lem

HAPPY HANNUKAH!

Mmmmmm

Stumbled upon this the other day. Can't wait to create the nicest hipster living pad one day.

I think I'm in a nesting mood...today I woke up and did the dishes, put soup in the crock-pot and dreamt about decorating the living room for Christmas...This time of year makes me want a home of my own (without bills or responsibility).

Love,
Lem

P.S.: The other LEM is going to be in HOT WATER if she doesn't POST. Soon.

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.” ~Groucho Marx

I just looked at URTA info.

News from The Stranger's Slog:
Megabus experiences their first-ever fatal crash: Bus headed for Toronto fails to clear a bridge in Syracuse, four killed. The end of the story is just weird: "Megabus will also transport the passengers who have been released from hospital to their final destinations." I should hope so!

Loose green tea and a bonsai tree, an underground apartment
Check my e-mail and wash my clothes while my rice is cooking
Oh jesus christ, how i hate making phonecalls --my man mason jennings

A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
And nothing's going to bring me down --cute baby paolo nutini

10 Things I'm Into Sunday

10. I'm Still Here
This movie is going to be great. A bearded Joaquin Phoenix trying to become a rapper? Yes, please. Trailer below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRsx9Kez_Zs

9. Taken by the Trees Pandora station. Type it in. Love it like I do. Best music to sleep to laaaate at night. And its always a bonus when "Maps" comes on every 25th song or so. It's great.

8.
Hannah.

7. Party cat.

6. Not showering. Also known as "being a hipster".

5. Freegans. I'm not doing it. But I'm into people who do. Wish I could meet one.

4.Summer thoughts. Like of camp. And lakes. Fall is amazing but you gotta be grateful for the summer.

3. Coffee. I can haz it?

2. My play. Not like i'm into it into it, but like i'm working on it...as we sneak.

1. Daydreaming about bonfires, football games, hot apple cider, sweaters and boots with tights.
Here comes fall.

P.S.- Lem made the play :) Come see us rock it in November.

Love,
Lem

Mis-Directing the Play

This is what college has looked like so far. Swift mac. I have made it for multiple roommates, friends and friends of friends. Also myself. A lot for myself.

I had the sweetest day. Cheers to deep dates and digging in people's brains that you never have dug in before.

And also to embarrassing videos that people posted when they were in high school and never took off. R.I.P. Tyler....

LOVE,
lem

first day back!

this is what lem's day looked like

Mumford & Sons

Mumford and Sons- Sigh No More.

Just came up on my limewire and did you know lem its based on Much Ado?

It is a song/book/poem that is referenced in the play many times and in the Kenneth B. version of the movie they use it as a motif the whole time ANNNNNND
IT HAS MY FAVORITE LINE FROM THE PLAY IN IT.

"Serve God, Love me, and Mend"- Benedick says it to Beatrice. Isn't this weird? I've never heard this song before or realized its connection I guess? Is this a sign? What does it all mean?

I think they are nice words to live by, don't you?

Will be back later today with the four simple rules....will you do them to laura?

Link 1- http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/ (to the four simple goals...go back like four pages)

Travels with Dave!

Yesterday Dave and I hiked here.....It is reflection lake right below the mountain. We hiked the Wonderland trail (a 92 mile trail that goes around the mountain, but we didn't hike for 92 miles, duh...) to the Reflection Lake trail then we scurried up to Valley Road and caught the trailhead for Bench and Snow Lakes where Dave promptly started complaining about the switchbacks. Gotta love him. After I pushed Dave up the mountain we sat by the beeeaauuutoful snow lake for about 4 hours, i got sunburnt, bad, and a ground squirrel crawled over my belly, we headed back. About 9 miles round trip-BIG HIKE FOR DAVE AND LEM. LET ME TELL YOU. I don't know why this is underlined...

news

i have been forced out of the rock that i live under. so far i've learned--

-hilary duff got married today
-there is a country song about people wanting to go back to their old house that grew up in
-harry potter/daniel radcliff met the obamas
-emma watson cut off all of her hair

The Good Thing About Losing a Parent

Oh wait, there are no good things.

BUT

Since I have lost my mom I know how important parents are. I've learned the hard way, but I know that I should be so grateful for Dave. And I know how important it is to know your parents as people not just ATMs. So as Dave and I hike around Mt. Rainier, we talk and I know him better.

You should try this too.

Not hiking around Mt. Rainier if that's not your thing, but getting to know your parents as a friend.
That's everybody's thing.

Huzzah for Bob and Dave,
Lem

Your Dad is a Muppie.

Muppie=middle aged upper, whatever the rest of the acronym stands for.

Ian came up with this. Here is a pic of Ian in my glasses:

How lucky am I to have such a sweet pup for a friend?

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Well, Lem is going to post a huge Chicago post-bucket list when we are reunited at camp college, so you will get the scoop with pics about all the music we saw, all the plays we saw, all the things we did with our internships, all the people who visited us and the antics that took place.
All in all I give Chicago a 10 out of 10 even though it wasn't what I thought/planned/wanted it to be :)

MEANWHILE.

I am in Canada or 1 Bourbon Sour + Two Gentlemen of Verona=Zzzzzing Dave

Nuff said.

No really. I am. Seeing plays. With Dave. Last night I had a Bourbon Sour and Dave got crunk on Stratford Pilsner and I had to stop him from calling the waitress 'dear'. Awkward...

Today we will
1) read books
2) shop for books
3) meet the festival
4) eat at the co-op (POTATO SALAD)
5) see plays
6) work on my play (this is a solo venture, duh)
7) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
P.S.- Here is St. Philomena. I had to carry a four foot statue of her around the city on my last day of work. What fun. She didn't come in a box.

Free Pie All Day. For Me.

Can I have this? Please, lem? It's called the whisked away dress on mod cloth which is what I would LOVE to be.

Have you ever thought about road-tripping? to Alaska? WANT TO?

...REAL TALK...

See girl only thing I'm trying to establish, with you is not who's right or who's wrong or what's right or what's wrong

...REAL TALK...

Just because your friend says she saw in the club with some other bitches, sitting in V.I.P,
Smoking, and drinking, and kicking it...

...REAL TALK...

Always accusing me of some old bullshit when I'm just trying to have a good time
Robert you did this,
R.Kelly's I heard you did that don't you think I got enough bullshit on my mind?...

...REAL TALK...

Hold up, didn't I just give you money to go get your hair, toes, and nail done the other day?
Hmm..your ass was smiling then...

...REAL TALK...

Gave who some damn money?
I ain't gave nobody no damn money girl, is you tweaking...see what
your problem is you always running off at the mouth telling your girls your motherfucking business
when they don't sleep with us,
they don't eat with us, besides what they eat don't make us shit...

...REAL TALK...

You called my mamma's house and what?...
girl my momma ain't gotta screen no calls for me...

...REAL TAlK...

And watch your mouth, fuck me, girl fuck you,
I don't give a fuck about what you talking about
I'm sick of this bullshit...
I'm coming home and getting my shit and getting the fuck out of Dodge
you ain't gotta worry about me no more and...
the next time your ass get horny go fuck one of your funky ass friends shh
hell you probably already doing that shit
anyway you're gonna burn what...
BITCH I wish you would burn my motherfucking clothes...

Click here to see footage of me in DC

when i told our beloved friend 'colors' of how i was spending my time in DC as a bill, this is how the conversation followed:

'colors'-he was so pouty in the beginning. reminds me of *insert name of certain boy with mr. bounce song*
me-please don't ruin this for everyone
'colors'- me ruin fun? that's like malcom x catching the jungle fever.

couldn't make this stuff up

O.M.G.

This was in the reader yesterday:
"Your new pal
Let's cut the shit. We both know why we're here. To fucking solve mysteries. Preferably via observation, pseudo-science and lighter than air travel. Now did you bring your service revolver? I picked up the sword cane from that guy down on Western, so that's ready to go. Let's finish this pitcher and then its off into the heart of adventure? huh? yeah. A hot dog post adventure goes without saying."

I think this person might be my soulmate.

Having. a. forking. knife. day.

1) I am at the perfect cup and man sweet babies walked in. Do I want to be a yuppie mom? probably not. but I like watching them buy their children organic treats from this super fly coffee shop.
2) I did my laundry.
3) I woke up next to ol' hmm hmm ding and realized again how forking knife it is to love a rapper.
4) went to see------>
again and realized if we go a third time, we might be groupies....
5) also, while seeing the bears of blue river I drank part of lem's DELICIOUS BLOODY MARY. And can't wait to make many more of these. preferably homemade.
6) called the plasma donation place. made an appointment. scared but hello FIFTY DOLLARS.
