mid-week jam


this is one of my favorite ryan adams songs. 
greg and i saw him in concert last march. 
i thought this would be a good follow up to greg's super performance from last week seeing as ryan is one of greg's favorite and an influence in his own music. 
please enjoy.

happy st. patricks day!
kiss me... im part irish!

ps. if i had to be celebrity couple i would definitely choose ryan adams and mandy moore!

t.m.i. tuesday


here's the story on "notes from the liquor cabinet":
 some of you may already know

two summers ago, eager and bright eyed, i took an internship at the birmingham museum of art starting right after my graduation from auburn. i had imagined it to be this grand super awesome experience and that i was going to learn so much about museums and being a REAL graphic designer. to my disappointment,
it fell somewhat short of that.

i was set up with a computer in a closet without windows with my back to the door (and mostly without human interaction). but...
this was no ordinary closet. this was a special closet.

this closet was so special, it housed all the liquor and booze for the museum's monthly cocktail party, art on the rocks.

being left with my thoughts and internet access, thus, my blog was born for your
(and mostly my) enjoyment.
disclaimer: the internship wasnt completely miserable. i enjoyed being at the museum, got to come in at like 10 every morning, hour lunches, and left by about 4 every day.

some of you may have seen this gem already. 
but those of you that haven't, you're welcome.

this is my cap'n singing a cramps song in the style of charlie feathers.
he's so talented :)
really, he is!
(check out the special effects)

how it came into creation:
greg came to visit and of course i teach all day leaving him to his thoughts. i came home from the school and greg announces that i won't have to get a teaching job because "he's blowing up." he sits down at the computer (me thinking he's showing me an email from a recipient of one of his resumes) and  proceeds to show me this little video. after just talking to a girl at school about our recent grad boyfriends without jobs... i was thinking about jobs. my disappointment didn't lag. i proclaimed, "i thought you had GOOD news." as greg should have been, he was irritated with that statement. but in greg style, he couldn't stay mad for long and nor could i.

more cap'n videos to come.

t.m.i. tuesday

 

my name is mollie and im weird about milk.

my milk rules:
1. i do not share milk from the glass.
2. i do not drink milk within one day of the expiration date.
3. i dig in the milk shelf to find the latest expiration date.
4. only ice cold milk, if it gets above 34 degrees, i dont want it.
5. no skim milk... it looks like dirty water.
6. absolutely no drinking milk from the carton! (greg)
7. if i havent opened the jug in a couple of days...
its no good.
 8. there is no drinking milk from an already used glass and vice versa.
clean glasses only!

 warm milk makes my skin crawl. i dont know how people drink that. that probably explains why i eat ice cream extremely fast... i dont like it to melt.


i think i would be friends with the olsen twins if they ever met me.

she loves them more than me.
they spoil her more than me.
