Further reasons not to date me

• I have the attention span of a grapefruit.

• I have the heart of a lion. I bought it in Chinatown for $14.

• I might be arrested for aggravated assault the next time I hear the words "female" or "male" used as nouns.

• I listen to Prince, Ella, and Timbaland without even so much as one ounce of shame.

• I ain't got no money.

• I ain't got no car to take you on a date.

• Can't even buy you flowers.

Things that I am giving up for Lent 2008

Today is the start of the Lenten season. And though I am not Catholic, and was not raised in the tradition of abstaining during Lent, I quite enjoy archaic self-deprivation rituals. Also, it's all the rage in hipster cirlces, and God knows I want an in with those hipsters.

So I give you the things that I am giving up for Lent:

• Unemployment. Again. Let's see if it works this time.
• Cable television. Not because it's a vice, but because I am paying $50 a month for shows I can watch on Youtube for free.
• Backgammon. That game makes no sense.

Pancake Tuesday

Hey. It's Pancake Tuesday.* Did you know? Of course you knew. And I knew, too, so I made some Pancake Tuesday Pancakes and cinammon-lime syrup. I love Pancake Tuesday Pancakes, and not just because they have the word "pancake" in their name twice.





But I might have gotten a little carried away, 'cause I made entirely too many pancakes than are necessary for the nutritional needs of a single mango.

Happy Pancaking to you!

*It's also Super Tuesday, which some would have you believe has something to do with American politics, but really it's called that on account of all the pancakes.
