Here's a bandwagon. Climb aboard.
I've finally jumped on the Random Tuesday Thoughts bandwagon. Keely, who runs RTT every Tuesday (who would have guessed) has a rather nifty looking and fun blog layout. I liked it. Speaking of layouts, I've changed mine, again. I like this one, so maybe it will stick more than a couple of weeks.
Rice Milk Ice Cream = Heaven
Not all that long ago, I discovered that I was lactose intolerant. This was depressing. Peanut butter and jelly tastes SO much better with a glass of milk (and while there are alternatives, they are not the same.) And ice cream? I was lost.
A friend introduced me to soy ice cream, and it was alright. It was a get-by alternative. But then, on a whim, I decided to try Good Karma Organic Rice Divine Mudd Pie ice cream. And all I have to say now is that it is THE MOST DELICIOUS THING EVER. Forget Ben & Jerry's. (Or at least, until Ben & Jerry's starts using rice milk... pretty please, B&J? I'll love you FOREVER!) Good Karma Mudd Pie is where it's at.
I think it is like tasting heaven, actually. Heaven in a pint.
It's also vegan. Who would have guessed?
Southern Politics at Their Finest
It's early voting time for the latest set of Tennessee primaries, and that means that if you live in my state, you can vote now and avoid long lines. (Early voting wraps up Saturday. The actual primary day is August 5th. VOTE!)
We have some interesting candidates for governor, and I'd like to draw your attention to two in particular. First, there's Basil Marceaux, who bless his heart, (I sound Southern there, don't I?) says what he means, even if he's not quite sure what he means. Check out his video from his time on Channel 4 News as well as his website.
Next is a man who could very well become the Republican nominee, Zach Wamp who says what he means and then takes it back. That's unfortunate. Secession always makes things exciting.
Speaking of politics... and sports... and ellipsis abuse...
I have some ideas stewing around in this crazy, bizarre brain of mine to keep me blogging on a more regular basis. Because that was a goal, wasn't it? Blog more regularly.
And on the topic of blogging more regularly...
Maureen Johnson, the author and not the character from RENT, did Blog Every Day April last year. This year she said she was going to do Blog Every Day August, but apparently that's not going to happen because she needs to like, write books, or something equally ridiculous. Authors who actually write, who would have thought? Well, in between tweeting that is.
Writing and NaNoWriMo
I'm writing. Far more than usual, actually. And I've started working on plotting out an idea for National Novel Writing Month this November. I've won twice now. Since the third time's the charm, maybe the third win won't be a complete and total shit novel. That would be nice.
Trivia!
I've been co-hosting trivia every week on Tuesday nights at a local bar. It's fun, even if I get to this point of the day when I realize that I should probably start thinking up ideas for trivia rounds. But regardless, I still enjoy it. Though I'm completely at a loss this week when it comes to ideas. Trivia gives me a reason to keep up my procrastinating ways even if I've finished college. That's all I can ask for, isn't it?
Randomly, you can now "like" me on Facebook. This is rather special. And I like myself. It used to be that you could become a fan, and that would have been much cooler, but now you can still boost my self-esteem by liking me. Really.
And... that's it. I have no more Random Tuesday Thoughts for you. I'm sure I will as the day goes on, but for the sake of everyone, I will end this here.
