I am writing this while getting a pedicure. I can't think of anything better than having someone make my toes and feet pretty for me so I am free to do important things like this on my phone.
As a side note, driving in dense fog is horrible. It was so bad last night I broke at one point because the mass of white in front of me looked solid. I would liken it to Lost's black smoke monster's white cousin.
Oh and if anyone saw today's breast with larvae on Post Secret this morning are you as disturbed as I am?

What I Want vs. What I Need
So Christmas is coming (!) and although there isn't much I actually need, of course there is an array of things I want. So if you are curious to know (and why wouldn't you be), I have compiled a list of my wants...so far. Expect an addendum.
First up...
This tote bag. It is beyond adorable and I can't stop thinking about it. It is from modcloth.com and retails for $58.
Second...
It's a makeup palette from sephora.com and retails for $48 but is a $320 value. Omg you guys, that is amazing! I dream of all the fun times I can have with this in my life.
Third...
An iPod nano in super cute hot pink. What could be cuter?? it's from applestore.com for $149.
Fourth...
Rachael Yamagata's new CD. It's like $13.99 at any CD store. Great deal guys.
So that's it for now. This is definitely not all inclusive, just what I've got so far!

This plan of mine is oh so very lame...can't you see the grass is greener where it rains?
I have way too much free time and yet I feel like I don't get anything accomplished. Too much time to think and over think things. I like to fill this time with mindless entertainment and brief day dreams of all the places I want to visit. I'm feeling claustrophobic and I need to break out and have some adventures. If not now, when??

Domestic Dreaming
I've been feeling ridiculously domestic lately and I've been wanting to bake. Like fancy fancy stuff. I've been wanting to do specialty cookies, bars and candies for gifts for Christmas for a few years but I think I'm actually going to do it this year. I need to start practicing though so let me know if you want to be a taste tester for me!

Sunday Morning Thoughts
"Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now"
Just when I thought I knew how things work it changes. Expectations are overrated.
Seeing past what you see.
You think you know me but you don't.
It is below the surface where I come alive.
It's time to dig deeper.

Ela from Concentrate
I cannot concentrate on shit lately. I have too many thoughts and I cannot sort them out. It's driving me insane. I am supposed to have twenty fucking pages written on a script by tomorrow and I haven't even finished the concept and I have no idea what I'm going to do. But I keep procrastinating. Hate this, I just want to clear my mind.

Hey You
Have you ever met someone and realized later that you met them at the wrong time in your life? That things could be different if you had met them earlier/later/whatever. I feel like I've met someone too late. He's already in a relationship but I can't stop myself from feeling smitten. It may be the most un-gratifying feeling.

The Election
This election has been quite emotional for me. I am filled with such pride for my country today, something I definitely haven't felt in the last 8 years. To see Obama win with such an overwhelming amount, inspiring my generation to get out there and vote and winning even the majority of the popular vote. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. I welled up watching him speak last night. I'm excited for the next four years with him as my President and I'm filled with hope for the future.
I know this means positive things for the country in terms of energy, health care, the economy and diplomacy. Seeing the photos of countries around the world celebrating last night made me truly believe that our country can return to the policies and practices that have made us an ally to the world and a respected nation. I look forward to the end of preemptive attacks for false reasons, to the end of an administration using fear tactics to scare me into giving up freedoms or rights of myself or others.
Speaking of which, it's disheartening that Proposition 8 has passed. I suppose I was naive to think that hate and discrimination is reserved for 'red states' or a generation that is not my own. But hate is taught and bred and exists everywhere still. I hope to look back on Prop 8 years from now as a stepping stone to equal rights for all; but until then I only see it as a reminder of how far we have yet to go.
Love is love and there's no way someone can put fear into my heart to feel otherwise. Here's to the future...I am hopeful for the changes that we can create. Yes we could, yes we did.

Letters from Micaela-Halloween Edition
Dear girls who think ‘slutty’ qualifies as a Halloween costume,
Yes, Halloween lets you be as openly slutty as you want and you can just pass it off as your ‘costume’. Slutty nurse, slutty flight attendant, slutty cop, etc. But let’s be honest here girls. Those of you whom are dressed as slutty versions of otherwise wholesome occupations aren’t really stretching the imagination now are you? I get it; you want guys to become instantly aroused by the sight of your partially dressed bodies. But come on ladies, there are less trashy ways of letting guys know you are easy. And with guys it’s not that difficult to get that point across. So maybe you can work on subtlety or more creative costume ideas next year.
Dear undecided voter,
Seriously? Undecided…seriously? How is this possible with the election just a few days away? Obama and McCain couldn’t be more different from each other. And if you can’t see that, maybe it’s better if you just stay home this time.
p.s.
Hey Joe (or should I say Samuel?) the ‘plumber’,
I hear you want to write a book and maybe go into politics. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that you may write a book or that people may actually buy it. Yes you’ve had a great ride as a campaign prop for the Repubs but you didn’t even show up at McCain’s rally yesterday. You don’t seem to be doing a lot of plumbing these days, how do you ever expect to make over $250,000 plumbing this way?
Dear Britney Spears,
You’re doing a great job, keep up the progress!
Dear MAC Cosmetic girls who answer the phone,
Stop being bitches. Seriously. I pay way too much for your merchandise, the last thing I need is your lip. Benefit is right next to you and they are much friendlier. I’m just saying.
Dear Saturday Night Live,
I’m crushed that Amy Poehler is not returning to SNL, she was always hilarious and great on Weekend Update. Yes Seth Meyers can handle it on his own but hopefully they’ll give him another co-anchor soon. But here’s the deal, you’re now down to only two women on the show. I know it’s always been a fucked up ratio of men to women on SNL but it’s now 8-2. Come on! With Tina Fey, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Molly Shannon and Amy’s sitcom to start early next year, it’s clear that the women of SNL are dominating comedies on TV these days. Why not get moving on finding some more? There needs to be some balance.
p.s.
Please start being funnier more often. After Tuesday there won’t be any need for Tina to come back and do Palin and then what will you have?
p.p.s.
Andy Samberg you’re on notice. Start making better digital shorts. I understand not everything can be a ‘Dick in a Box’ or ‘Lazy Sunday’ but stop phoning some of these in.
p.p.p.s.
Have Britney host when her CD comes out. Even the naysayers have to admit her two times hosting were hilarious. All that MMC breeding did well for her and she’s the come back of the year. Don’t be dicks.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark
of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangcock to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
