Day 222: Rainbow Surpreme

From the local cultural staple known as Jerry’s Sno Cones (I’ve searched and searched for the Great Balls of Fire clip that features Jerry’s to no avail). After suffering the crushing ego blow one feels when one’s car’s front undercarriage scrapes the curb in front of a tittering crowd, AY-D and I sheepishly ordered a Rainbow Supreme and a White Wedding Surpreme, respectively. We immediately launched into brain-freeze mode and lodged our tongues in the…

Day 218: This Is What Happens When You Try to Buy a House In Midtown

Fun fact: Midtown Memphis is the only area in West Tennessee in which you cannot pull housing comps based on Zip code alone. What that means, essentially, is that finding a house in Midtown Memphis and settling on a fair price for it is a huge pain in the ass. I am learning more about real estate than I ever cared to know. I don’t want to write a whole lot about it because so…

Day 198: Power House

My pal D alerted me to the $5 Friday midnight matinees going on this month in the basement over at Power House, which suits this night owl just fine. We saw "Teeth," which I liked way more than I expected to. Next week: "Fido." Vagina dentata AND zombies? It’s like they’re showing these flicks just for me! [Project 365]

Day 191: Good Times

The house hunt has begun in earnest. It’s terrifying in the same way that a crush is: So much daydreaming, so much hope, so much learning to deal with rejection. Like most first-time buyers, I initially overestimated what I’d be able to afford and I’m having to rein it in and ground my dreams a bit. It stings a little but, hey, that’s just what you do when you bring one income to the table…

Day 183: Model Thursday

I went to the Cove and completely unexpectedly meet a ton of Twitter friends and we drank and guffawed loudly at Supervixens while others sketched the model nearby. Flippin’ awesome. [Project 365]

Day 158: Hangover Demon

We all do battle sometimes. The Hangover was funny. Zach Galifianakis should be a household name and I want to shrink him and put him in my pocket and pull him out and pet him and have him make me laugh. I want to keep Bradley Cooper full size and keep him tied up in my closet. I want Ed Helms to be my BFF. I want Heather Graham to tell me how she got…

Day 149: P&H

Got to see my friend Jacquie from DC for a split second. It was her first time in Memphis and she was only in town for a few hours, so the kids took her to the Orpheum, Ernestine & Hazel’s, and the P&H. That’s about as thorough an introduction as a person can get, I’m pretty sure. [Project 365]
