that. just. happened.

Okay, two things, really quick[ly]:

1. Season 5 of The L Word is upon us, and in honor of that -- and to get everyone super stoked for our upcoming L Word recaps -- Riese and Haviland and I have made some awesome vlogs, so go check them out.

2. This just happened: my parents and I were in the car, driving home from dinner (sushi, yum), and as we pulled into our neighborhood, my mom changed the radio station. Begin scene:

The radio suddenly changes back to the previous station.
Me: Dad, did you just change the radio back?
Dad: (snickering) Well I didn't like what mom put on.
Dad settles on a station playing a Dido song.
Mom: How is this better? Now we have to listen to Dido.
Dad: More like 'dildo.'
Silence.
Mom: I cannot believe you just said that.
Me: Oh my god.
Dad parks the car in the driveway.
Dad: What? What the hell kind of name is 'Dido' anyway?
Me: I have to get out of this car right now.
Dad: Oh, did I get her?
Mom: I think so.
Me: I have no words. I have to go inside. This is totally going in my blog.

Aaaaaand ... end scene!

Starting with the image of little Carlytron in the backseat of your parents car, like, RIGHT NOW, and not, you know, circa '93, riding home from family dinner.

Hilarious.

word ver: groqi. I think that's a character from some incarnation of the Mario Bros. video games.

Also, she's clearly asking for it with a name like that.

I feel like there's a sushi/backseat/dildo joke just waiting to happen, but it apparently isn't happening in my head ... y'know ... a lot of thoughts going on in my head at once ...

Please, post more often. Or Vlog or something.
