Irony is a Lifestyle Became a Tumblr

I'm not being lazy, I switched over to Tumblr!

ironyisalifestyle.tumblr.com

Ok, I am being lazy, because one of my favorite things about Tumblr is that I can copy/paste my pictures and bold/italicize with ease.

Contented yawn.

Follow me on Tumblr!! Yay.

Couscous Cake is Sounding Pretty Good Right Now

Some people think the worst part about cooking dinner is having to deal with all the dishes when it's all over.

Must. Be. Nice.

I think the worst part about cooking dinner is failing in the process, and having to do all the dishes after glaring at an inedible mess for a solid 30 minutes or so.

Starving.

Quinoa is harder to cook than you might think.

You Look Like a White Girl Trying to Dance Like a White Girl

Remember Lanvin's Fall 2011 campaign video, with Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann showing off some of their best white girl dance moves?

I do. Because I watch it frequently. Because it makes me feel better. Because, as I have mentioned before, I am the Whitest. Dancer. Ever. In case I needed anymore proof, icouldprobablyturnironyintoacupcake sent me this video:

80's Dance Party in David & Mike's Kitchen. Standard Fare.

I would recommend clicking rotate 3 times. And hitting pause until it buffers or whatever it does to make it play smoothly. Because nothing else about the video is smooth. At all. Sorry - Mike, your dance moves are totally smooth. I was just focusing on me. Like usual. Like icouldprobablyturnironyintoacupcake was focusing on my a$$ for half of this 1:02 video. Also like usual.

Funny is Something You Learn?

I like to pride myself on being funny. Really funny.

Apparently, a sense of humor is not something you're born with.

I recently (just now) stumbled upon a book from my childhood. It has three different titles.

"All About Me. Charlie's Brown's Encyclopedia. My Own Diary."

Essentially, it is one of those books that has small children fill out their favorite teachers and list their multiple hobbies, so that one day they can look back and laugh at how adorably naive they once were.

One of these pages is titled "Funny Stuff!" I shall list its contents below:

What makes me laugh the most is: Someone tickling me

Duh.

My favorite cartoon is: Looney Tunes

Probably why I like to steal other people's puppies and quote Elmyra at every opportunity: "I'm gonna hug you and kiss you and love you forever (and never use you up)" (while squeezing Furrball to death)

The funniest friend I have is: Stuart

My first (fine, yes, first and only) "boyfriend". Apparently I've always gone for a guy with a sense of humor. Apparently I had better luck as a 5 year old.

The funniest movie I've ever seen is: Home Alone

You have to understand that my favorite movies were Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind. Small child attempting to use shaving cream is totally hilarious when set against this background.

The funniest thing that ever happened to me is: When someone was tickling me

I'm sorry... does anyone else think this question is vaguely similar to question #1? Amateur hour.

My favorite joke: Why did the chicken cross the road?

I would like to think that this is my smart-ass response to a stupid question. Really? You want me to pull a joke book off the shelf and list one of its canned one-liners here? Please. I create humor as I go.

It's been a long journey. In other exciting news, when asked who I would like to costar in a movie with... I replied Super Fudge!

Dare to dream.

Did I Wash My Makeup Off Last Night?

The tricky part about remembering to cleanse, serum, moisturize, and eye cream your face before you go to sleep at night... Is figuring out where your Ultra Replenishing Serum is the next morning.

Keeping Things Fresh

There are two things that I find slightly magical about that article.

1. Please note the first company listed. For more on this, please see www.stylemint.com, www.jewelmint.com, and www.beautymint.com. You love it.

2. The fact that Huffington Post, well-know for its tendency towards over-aggregation, is writing an article about "new ideas".

Please say I am not alone in this. Hilarious, no? Fine. Well, to each their own then. Chucklechucklelaughlaughsmirk.

Um, I Think You're in the Wrong Spot, Thanks

Like most people, I'm a creature of habit. Unlike most people, I am completely neurotic about my habits and get seriously twitchy when I am thrown off my regimented (but totally laid back!) path.

I park in the same spot every morning. People generally take note of things of this nature. One person apparently has not.

One morning, I was running late to work and arrived to find that my spot had been taken. I was annoyed, but resigned myself to accept that I was 15 minutes later than usual, and perhaps the owner of this vehicle assumed I wasn't going to be needing my space that day.

The next day, I arrived early, to ensure that I didn't experience a repeat of the day before. WTF. Taken. Again. By the same vehicle.

I was not happy.

I would like to give this person the benefit of doubt. Maybe they are new to the lot and have no clue that they are rudely stomping all over my well-trod ground.

This is why I am strongly considering placing a sticky note on their windshield, informing them of their mistaken acquiescence of my parking place.

I feel like they would want to know.
