Recipe: Potato, Squash, and Goat Cheese Gratin

If you haven't noticed, I've been too lazy to write a real post, so I'm just throwing out links right and left.

Here's a link to dish I'd like to try:

Another librarian stereotype: sexy librarian

Librarian
By: My Morning Jacket (from the album Evil Urges)

Walk across the courtyard, towards the library.
I can hear the insects buzz and the leaves 'neath my feet...

Ramble up the stairwell, into the hall of books...
Since we got the interweb these hardly get used.

Duck into the men's room... combing thru my hair...
When god gave us mirrors he had no idea...

Looking for a lesson in the periodicals...
There I spy you listening to the AM radio...

Karen of the carpenters- singing in the rain...
Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way.

It's not like you're not trying, with a pencil in your har
To defy the beauty the good lord put in there...

Simple little bookworm- buried underneath...
Is the sexiest librarian... take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.

So I watch you thru the bookcase- imaging a scene:
You and I at dinner, spending time, then to sleep.

And what then would I say to you- lying there in bed?
These words, with a kiss, I would plant in your head:

"what is it inside our heads that makes us do the opposite?
Makes us do the opposite of what's right for us?
Cause everything'd be grrreat... and everything'd be good...
If everybody gave... like everybody could."

Sweetest little bookworm. hidden underneath...
Is the sexiest librarian...
Take off those glasses and let your hair down for me.
Take off those glasses and let your hair down for me.

Simple little beauty- heaven in your breath.
The simplest of pleasures- the world at it's best.

Another librarian stereotype: librarian with a stick up his ass

Inked

Caitlin has wanted me to get a tattoo with her for a while, but I can't commit to anything. But, I did find a cool calendar that raises money for the Texas Library Disaster Relief fund. The calendar is called "The Tattooed Ladies of TLA."

I also think this is cool:




And this is hilarious, especially the part about Lord of the Rings.

Peeved

Pet Peeve of the Day:
When people use the word "stinkin'" to refer to something that does not in fact stink. Example: "Your baby is so stinkin' cute."

That word, when used that way, makes me want to gouge my ears out with a blunt object.

I hate Hannah Montana

I heard the new Miley Cyrus song on the radio yesterday, and was shocked by these lyrics:

"That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
and a Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song"


Seriously? I don't see Miley rocking out to "99 Problems." If I was Hova I'd bust a cap in her dumb ass. She also sings about going to a club. Isn't she 16? I want to punch her in the face.

Matt says, "This bitch [Miley Cyrus] is out of control."

Family Reunion

Last weekend my dad's side of the family gathered in the La Sal mountains near Moab for a weekend of family fun. This weekend is probably going to suck, because Matt and I will be cleaning house to prepare for Katie and Erik's arrival, so I am going to take a moment to reflect on the good times of last weekend.

Some memorable moments from last weekend:

Matt and I arriving to the lodge to find our bed out on the deck, with three drunk women (Caitlin, Regan, Mom) in it.

Matthew, my 13-year-old cousin, yelling "I'm on a boat!" when we were getting in the rowboat on the pond. (Old people, follow the link to get the reference)


Caitlin and I scaring each other with the creepy porcelain doll, then Caitlin accidentally breaking its head off.


Christian (Caitlin's boyfriend) sleep-walking into Kelby, Andy and Matthew's room.

Matt and Regan doing awesome choreographed dance moves to JT's "Like I Love You" while Caitlin and I sang.

Playing Loaded Questions with the fam, and laughing hysterically at everyone's messed up answers.

Caitlin and I driving my dad's truck down to the other cabin, and singing Tiny Dancer.

Taking shots of expensive tequila with my cousins (Regan, Andy, Noah).

Caitlin passing out drunk and curling up under a buffalo skin.



Puking up said tequila then passing out in my clothes.

Waking up from my drunken stupor to hear Caitlin screaming "Brianna!!!!!!!!! Briannnnnaaa!" into the karaoke microphone because she wanted me to sing "Rich Girl" with her.

Matthew putting down the card "Bates Motel" for the category "Cut and Dried" during a game of Apples to Apples (that kid is hilarious).

Kelby, Caitlin, Matt and I trying to convince Christian to climb into the attic (while he was wearing his statue of David underwear).



Kelby and Caitlin and I refusing to smile for a family photo.



...and many more!
