Seeing that a little boy named Will took the time to include the message "Meowhead" on his charity Christmas orniment at Coffee Bean. All the other kids just wrote their names. If "Meowhead" is something the kids are saying, I don't want to know. I'd like to think that Will came up with this on his own and that it has its own special meaning.
Will's parents should read my blog and know that other people appreciate the awesomeness that they created.
"Meowhead"! It fucking kills me!
Last night, my eyes opened at 4am when I heard a girl scream in the street. My eyes were open and I was conscious, but not really awake and I felt like I couldn't move my arms or legs.
Then I basically listened to her get robbed.
I was thinking to myself the entire time "wake up and find your cell phone so you can call the police", but I wasn't awake enough. I could just hear what was happening like it was a record playing in the apartment next door that somehow drifted in to my dream. Like, when you're a kid and you leave your alarm on over the weekend and then Sunday morning you dream that you're getting donut holes with Casey Kasem?
It was like that, except a girl probably got beat up.
So, not to play it like I’m the Patron Saint of Awesome or whatever, but this is the dollar I put aside for the homeless man outside my Coffee Bean today who was wearing a 3/4-length sleeved Ed Hardy shirt that was made for a teenage girl.
It’s too hot to be homeless and be dressed like an Armenian tourist.
"Are you? Are YOU? You don't not fucking fuck him. You don't fucking up and fuck to fucking walk the fuck away. Fuck that."
-A man on his cellphone outside my window. I hope he was on a cellphone. There is a 50/50 chance he wasn't. Things get dodgy around here.
Yeah, I know we're electing the next president today and that people in California are still trying to stop the gays from having their rights and stuff, but do you guys know how hard it is for me to get a load of laundry done in my building? Wassup with that?
I should have submitted that as a question for one of those debate things.
[BTW, this was filmed when my mom visited awhile back and edited when I found the footage on my computer today. Everyone's favorite mom isn't making any appearances again until at least Christmas.]
Top Chef trying to join the Boner Party.

I had the great pleasure of working with Ned of Boner Party fame on a video for Idolator last night at the She & Him show. Alexis and I bought tickets to the show when they went on sale a couple months ago, but when I found out Ned was going to be there, I pitched a video to Maura and she picked it up. Anyone who knows Ned or cares to take a look at either of his blogs knows that his ultimate Fantasy Dream Boner Girl is Zooey D 4eva. He and I both teared up during Sentimental Heart. I did because the song has a lot of personal meaning to me, while Ned was probably weeping due to a mixture of pain and amazement. Anyway, good times. I will link to the video when it goes up later this week.
You guys are never going to fucking believe what happened yesterday!
So I'm in the Wilshire/Western vicinity because ya know, that's my general area without giving any specifics away that would tempt internet crazies to narrow the field and then come find me and kill me. It's like 4pm and I'm dragging ass to go get ready for the theater so I stop in to Coffee Bean to get a latte. Not only do I normally not drink lattes because they are complete bullshit beverages, but I normally don't go to this location. I prefer the one at my local Ralphs. It's just a personal preference. That's the one that Glen works at. Glen was, for a small period of time, the only actual human contact I had before 8pm most days. I'd IM with Seth and the Defamer gang, but Glen was usually the only person who brought me to speak words out of my mouth. Believe it or not, I need about five hours of quiet time a day because talking and listening to other people can really drain the shit out of a broad like me. But Glen's a character. I always get a chuckle out of Glen.
ANYWAY, I'm buying my latte and thinking about how dumb the seasonal flavors always are and all preoccupied in my own universe when I hear "Hey! Molly!"
Dude. It's fucking Glen from Coffee Bean at ANOTHER Coffee Bean. Like, what are the fucking odds, right?!!? My mind was blown. Turns out the people Glen steals internet from moved out of his building, so now he's been taking his computer to this Bean location because they have free Wi-Fi. Fucking nuts, right!?!?! I think what you really have to think about is that he works at Coffee Bean, but not that Coffee Bean. He's hanging at another Bean! And what are the odds that I would stop at that Bean of all the Beans?
I took pictures:
Glen's looking at his finger because he said he hurt it jamming out on the bass Downtown the night before. That's why Glen cracks me up. You're gonna tell me that that doesn't make you laugh? I mean, maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was pretty priceless.
I got my hair done today for the first time in an embarrassingly long time.
I got an inch taken off, got it colored, had some hair vitamins and goodness put back into it. The woman who cut my hair was like my long lost Korean sister. I do think she kind of looks like the Korean version of myself. Am I crazy?
