random things

• i am sitting here listening to Queen on my iPod while i wait to go out for coffee with tom. it's pretty obnoxious to listen to your iPod with other people around but i think it's even more obnoxious to sit at a computer and sing "We are the Champions" into a remote control while someone is trying to watch television behind you. ah, well. sorry mom, but you raised me to be this way.
  
• do you know if you can bring anything at all interesting on an airplane anymore? like tweezers? or computer cables? or sex toys? i might have to check a suitcase.
• IKEA has all this crap on their website but they don't deliver half of it. where else am i going to find 15 dollar barstools? or creepy worm-like paper lanterns? how can i survive without modern art dishwashing brushes!?!??! it might be a big mistake to relocate five hours from the nearest worthwhile city (i.e. metropolitan area with an IKEA)
• being a girl > being a boy, reason #1: wearing dresses.
