Today is my 35th birthday! So far it is pretty awesome. Allen bought me this tight little laptop so that I can get on the intarwebs without borrowing his computer. That dude is awesome to me. I am excited to get married to him. He rules it!

Ante Up!

Bert & Ernie tries Gangsta-Rap

M.O.P.'s "Ante Up" has long been one of my favorite songs, thus I couldn't resist this video. Oddly, it's also one of the few tracks in the world where the edited version might be even more entertaining than the uncensored one.

ZOMGZ WEDDINGZZZ

Okay, so by now probably everybody knows that allen gave me this:

my preciousssss

and that we are planning to get married. Everybody keeps asking me what's up for the wedding plans and the reality is: I am still working on it! I'm not quite sure!

We are trying to do it super low-key, totally secular, and low-budget. So far we have had some ideas. We wanted to get married in October, but throwing a party for 100 people is kind of impossible in 2 months, so we moved it to March. so uh,

location: probably in an art gallery downtown
catering: heavy appetizers
flowers: diy, low budget, whatever we can get. I think I just want to do all one color, so maybe all white
cake: no idea
photography: we have a ton of photographer friends so we're going to ask them to help
music: we might try to get a band? but we might just do ipod DJ or get a friend to DJ
ceremony: at the location, friend with internet ministry?
dress: no idea, probably something super casual and not very bridal
invites: my super talented friend andrea is doing some letterpress invites, she is brilliant, so I know they will be awesome. I am actually looking forward to the invites more than anything else. ha ha!

Anyway! I will probably go all bridezilla on your asses soon enough, but that is the general idea. WHEE PARTY!

Wedding Bells on Vox! (Plus, a few new themes.)

CONGRATULATIONS PAPI CHULO & SECRET AGENT SCOTCH!

The Happy Couple

"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.

The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)

It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.

I just stumbled across the Facebook profile of someone from my high school class. He was easily the most popular and best looking guy.

His status update?

"Finishing the inventory at Jamba."

At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.

Vox Themes July 08

L to R: Anchored, by Wolfsavard; Feel the Sun, by gollykim; Dare to Inspire, by Teresa Jones; Magic Night, by valuexofxpain; Like a Loving Fish, by lilfairy; Neue Hass, by Jesse Gardner.

And, on the off chance, you do wear the same t-shirt day after day after day? Well... That's another post for another day.

Until then... Enjoy!

Surf the Corpse!

nobody@vox.com(styro) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:24:04 -0700

I feel like I've been on radio silence. It's the new job. I don't have 8 uninterrupted hours of goofing off on the internet anymore, so I tend to have less of an internet footprint. I don't really have a computer at home, either. This doohickey I'm typing on now is Allen's. I try to limit my internet time on it, because it's in the guest-room/studio, AKA "Man Space" so I try to limit spreading my estrogen around in here. The next thing you know, I'll be vacuuming and changing the sheets on the futon. HORRORS!

So, let's see. What's new? Um, the garden is going gangbusters. It's been hot, so my tomatoes are finally ripening, but they have a fair amount of blossom end rot on the first few 'maters, so they're getting chucked over the fence into the neighbor's Swath Of Debris. The peppers are doing great this year: we've been freezing dozens of jalapenos, whole, waiting for Salsa Party 2008. I've also got Serrano peppers and tabasco peppers and some cayenne, oh, and the hungarian wax. It's a good pepper year. The tomatillos are finally setting fruit... they take a while longer to get going, but they add a really delicious sweetness to salsa that is hard to replicate with anything else. The beans are all done, and I need to harvest the last batch and pull the plants and replant more edamame beans, but that'll wait until it's not 100F out.

Smitty the Kitten went home to his new house. Three kids, two boys and a little girl, so that makes, what, like 5 cats/kittens in a row that I've sent home with kids? Kitten Whisperer strikes again. Smitty was a little overwhelmed with all those kids, but I think once he realizes that he hit the Fun Times Jackpot, he'll be rip-roaring around there. He's going to have a blast, and I'm excited for him. He is a super great little kitty, he scored himself a sweet ride with a really awesome family. Go Smitty!

Everything else is about the same. Allen and I are still doing well. He's still in the studio a couple nights a week. tonight's that night, so I'm going to try to clean up the bathroom (where Smitty was staying), and watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang while eating popsicles in my underpants. You know how I roll. Rufus and Bunny are still kickin' it. Zsazsa's going to miss Smitty, because they were becoming BFFs, but Eva the Dumptruck is glad that tiny motherfucker is gone----Eva can't stand change, and she is on a personal mission to DESTROY ALL KITTENS!

Oh, and we finally saw WANTED. Man, it was awesome. There's this one scene where... well, I won't ruin it for you, but we've got a new phrase in our lexicon, and it's the title of this post.

I hope you are well, friends! If I haven't responded to an email, it's just because, well, I probably haven't had time. I have been picking up the phone and calling people more often. OH, so THAT's what that little ringy box is for in my pocket! It is a TELEPHONE, and you use it to COMMUNICATE with OTHER HUMANS. WILD.

Surf the corpse, dudes.

Epic mistake

nobody@vox.com(styro) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 05:02:16 -0700

I drank an entire bottle of prosecco by myself last night while watching a terrible romantic comedy. I texted danielle like 100 times. Sorry for blowing up your phone, D.

I haven't been drunk by myself in a long time. It was kind of awesome. Allen thought I was hilarious when he got home. WOO WASTED!

surprisingly, i feel damn good today. I hope i am not still drunk.
