I think it's about time for another round of: Let's Talk About Things I Like.

First: Oh, I am so going back to school in the fall. Yes, kids, everything is official. After collapsing into a bawling mess on 9th street smack-dab in the middle of Minneapolis, it all became real. God. I am thrilled, to say the very least. Also, I'm super excited about moving into my new... pad? crib? digs? whatever... in Uptown with my lovely new roomies. Minneapolis, here I come.

Second: Homegirl is loving summer. This sunshine business is really quite excellent. Yesterday's thunderstorm was great. Ahhhh summer food is great too. Sunday we had veggie burgers, pasta salad, and chocolate milkshakes. And have I ever mentioned that I love the song "Surfer Girl" by the Beach Boys? Man, summer rocks in all kinds of ways.

Third: All the bartenders at SCI have one-syllable names. Anne. Ben. Tim. Pat. I love it. Actually, come to think of it, a lot of people I love have one-syllable names. So number three: people with one-syllable names.

Four:
a) Jamiroquai. Can they groove or what? Damn.
b) Icky Thump. Two thumbs way up. Thank god. Jack's back.
c) Wilco at Bayfront? See you Duluth bitches there.

Five: "Bobby" is really good. Seriously good. I didn't hate Lindsay Lohan, Sharon Stone, or Demi Moore. And that's saying a lot. (Plus, my one true love Joshua Jackson is in it. High five!)

Six: Dude, Will Smith is everywhere. Seriously, I'm not kidding. Every time I turn on the tv, I either find "Fresh Prince," "Hitch," "Men In Black," "Men In Black II," or "I, Robot." And I don't really have time to watch much TV anymore. I can't get enough of Will Smith, so keep it up, Ted Turner.

Seven: Life is about nineteen different kinds of good right now. Thank you to those who are continuously contributing.
