The One Where I Lose My Marbles, Apparently

Right now, I'm in the midst of a completely random Pink bender. Yesterday I randomly clicked on a YouTube interview with her (it was in "related videos" for a clip I'd watched), and that was that. I've never listened to Pink, I've never watched a single interview with her, nothing. So it's very possible that I'm experiencing a massive mental breakdown. Either that, or she is legitimately one of the most awesome showbiz people out there.

Anyway, the interview that started it all is here (the best part is around the 6:00 mark, but it's all good):


And here - around 5:00 - is a bit more background on the whole "throwing a knife at husband" story:


I've decided we should totally hang out.

Glaciers

Two days ago I saw this cute - in a slightly gangly, academic sort of way - guy dining alone at my regular lunch place, reading a book on church-state relations from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. I ogled him for a while (had to, really, to make out the title of the book), but I think it's fair to say that we peaked, contact-wise, when he glanced at me just in time to see a piece of cucumber fall out of my mouth.

Today I bumped into him again - this time with something Antiquity-related, though the font was too small for me to make out the specifics.

The overall set-up is pretty dismal, since we're both in our own separate bubbles, gobbling down food and reading our history books, but if I see him 50 more times, I'm totally casually dropping "So how about them crazy Prince-Bishops of Mainz, eh?" or some equally sizzling chat-up line.

In other news - I have a new passport, a new credit card, a new phone, and Esthero has a new album coming out. So let's drink to that.
