i'm smiling now.
thanks for the #63 shout-out.
you realize that you're going to have more assignments come your way, right?
Excellent job balancing out the semi-bitchy list from the other day (OK, so it was full of painful truths). I have a number of new favorite blogs, yours being one of them. I thing I might blog about new favorite blogs now. Whoopa!
29 - totally agree with this one. i think i squealed when my friend sent me the leaked copy of café tacuba's newest album.
35 - this one can't be underestimated, especially if the person is very special (e.g., bf or gf)
38 - always!
49 - agreed, especially when there's some inside joke and i get it.
51 - substitute yankees for dodgers, and i agree.
55 - yes! i checked my account today and was surprised at the amount of money i had. i wondered if there was a mistake.
56 - i love how she has her dark side.
88 - sigh. this kinda rarely happens, and when it does it's serendipitous.
