Music From a different… Cubicle

Today I have been sent to work in Eric’s cubicle because my computer is acting mondo weird. It is weird sitting in this location because I see the dab from a different angle than ever before. And because I call Eric professional Eric, I feel so mighty professional in his Cubicle.

I also feel like I can get caught at any moment typing something greviously stupid. Perhaps this is why Eric seems so professional…

Back to Work.

VIRUSES

Okay viruses can ruin your day especially when the computer you gunk up is your work computer.

And the worst thing is when you did it while looking up the nerdiest thing most can fathom… explanations from a SCI-Fi show.

My day will be tragically lame today because the only website I can see is yahoo (not search though) and Viciously Sweet. Yay!  Now I know how prisoners with pen and paper feel. Every other site sends a myriad of pop-ups, all which are about advertising or net flicks… neither which I want.

WELCOME TO MY INTERNET HELL:

THIS IS BASICALLY ALL I CAN SEE ONLINE... BUT FEEL FREE TO ALSO LEARN ABOUT YAHOOS EASY TO MAKE FOODS :)

obsurdly postless!

okay, so where are all the alternate career paths?

they are on hiatus because Lauren….

broke her wrist…

and rather than making really crappy things she’d rather just vacation from the career paths… until the time is right

BUT UNTIL THEN I CAN GO INTO THE ARCHIVES OF MY MIND….

ENJOY CLAY & ISABEL… A LOVE THAT HAS LASTED A LIFETIME!

El Matador… Jimmy

Architecture was not Jimmy’s first career choice but after the terrible cape accident of 99′, Jimmy could no longer flex in the proper manner to fight the bull. He had to hang up his montera (snazzy hat) and award winning tights to find a new career…

The only other thing he could figure was to be an architect, because he had no interest in being a politician.

Jimmy the internet will never forget your dreams….

Crispy & Crunchy Christine

Because she’s so tan, that she’s the queen of Coppertone….

Christine the “Crispy Christ” of La Verne and he man-mates hit the beach.

 

TRUE STORY:

This Photo marked the 17TH time Christine woke up not knowing where she was, and as you can tell her desire to stay pale makes her yearn for yonder shade… but her beach buddies would not let her lose he awesome tan-ness.

Phantom Planet is… (More than) Missing

I have been as of late a Lauren of very little words. I will be honest in the state of my mind words are so finite, that I almost fear the possibility of my words being misconstrued.

And there isn’t much that I believe a well thought out doodle or game of lemon can explain.

SO. . .

All I really have to say is that this year has been *special* to say the very least. And 2008 has finally waged what I hope is its final yet nastiest blow…

the disbanding of Phantom Planet.

Yes, I know they have been a band for 14 years. AND that they have changed their line-up several times. I have seen them perform at least 3 times and every time I have, they were nothing but awesome.

I can also recall the first time I heard “California” (before it was the theme song for the O.C.) and how Jenny Ching lent me her copy of the Guest. I remember that I was 14 and had my folder covered in collages (my pre-photoshop art form.) I also recall in the group of friends I mingled with, a Phantom Planet album was a much needed staple in your music collection. I suppose I just feel melancholy and a bit old.

I shall always have a place in my heart for Phantom Planet. And I wish all the guys in the band the best of luck in all the stuff they do.

My suggestion if anyone else feels slightly melancholy about this is to listen to both editions of “Do the Panic”… I like the second one better.

Just in Case You Dont want to Pick a Singular Phantom Planet Line-Up

Also they are performing their last show December 12, 2008, in Los Angeles at the Troubadour.. tickets are $15. And I am totally going…tell me if you want to go too

A few words on obsessive love….

A few words on obsessive love…

So I may or may not be the first one to notice this, but it seems like people don’t know the meaning of TMI (too much information!!!!) So I felt like venting a list of things that annoy me:

– OK so u have a boyfriend that u absolutely love and adore… congratulations! Thank you for letting me know how wonderful he is and how lucky you are to have him

HOWEVER
– I definitely don’t need to know personal stuff that makes me wanna gag! (like how you were up all night doing the horizontal polka or how you bought the gaggle of condoms pack from Walmart)
– I especially don’t wanna read a comment that seems clean at first, but then is followed by a winky face ;) which makes me think of the alternative dirty interpretation… which is followed by a mental picture… which is then followed with me feeling slightly disturbed.
– It bothers me that you want to live a lifestyle like the horseface girl on sex and the city… seriously, there’s got to be more to life than just having sex… and I’m pretty sure if u did have sex 24/7 you’d eventually get tired of it… not to mention you’d probably end up having to get surgery you know where….
– AND MOST OF ALL ANNOYANCES: you complain about people telling you too much info, yet you yourself do it all the time.

C’mon now! I guess I could understand a guy bragging to his friends about how he scored the night before (even though that’s totally immature)… but ladies…I don’t expect this from you! Have some decency….don’t be trashy. Don’t get me wrong… I’m glad you found someone to spend your time with and share your thoughts with. I’m glad that you are happy… I just feel that if you must proclaim your TMI events to the world, then you are trying to prove something… trying to say “I’m better than you”. Real friends don’t need to prove themselves to one another and they definitely don’t need to brag about their love lives… I’m not sure how many people will read this. I’m not directing this at any one person in particular because pretty much everyone has done this at some point… I just got a little fed up with it finally.
