A Halloween horror story

Somehow last night I managed to shave off half of an eyebrow. No idea how, but it's gone. Now, my eyebrows are white, so it's not that noticeable - until I darken them for work/being out in public. It'll grow back, right? RIGHT?! Might need to rethink my Halloween costume.

Sidebar: google "no eyebrows." Why are there 1000 images of celebrities without eyebrows?!

Warning: Shameless Hotel Monaco plug

There is really nothing better than staying at a nice hotel. Black-out curtains. Ridiculously comfortable bed. HBO. Fluffy robe. Keurig in the room. Free wine by the fire. #caniextendmystay #noseriously

Now that's what I call old.

Now That's What I Call Music 52 was released today. 52?! I swear to god I remember when volume 1 came out. And just out of curiosity, I looked it up. Released in 1998 and included the following:

No.	Title	Artist	Length
1.	"Together Again"	Janet Jackson	5:01
2.	"As Long as You Love Me"	Backstreet Boys	3:32
3.	"The Way"	Fastball	4:16
4.	"Flagpole Sitta"	Harvey Danger	3:35
5.	"Say You'll Be There"	Spice Girls	3:56
6.	"All My Life"	K-Ci & JoJo	5:31
7.	"Never Ever" (Single Edit)	All Saints	4:46
8.	"If You Could Only See"	Tonic	4:21
9.	"Mmmbop"	Hanson	4:27
10.	"Zoot Suit Riot"	Cherry Poppin' Daddies	3:53
11.	"Shorty (You Keep Playin' with My Mind)"	Imajin	4:54
12.	"Anytime"	Brian McKnight	4:31
13.	"Barbie Girl"	Aqua	3:16
14.	"Karma Police"	Radiohead	4:30
15.	"I Will Buy You a New Life"	Everclear	3:58
16.	"Fly Away"	Lenny Kravitz	3:41
17.	"Sex & Candy"	Marcy Playground	2:52

Ohhhh Barbie Girl. That was my JAM in college. And K-Ci and JoJo? YES. Wonder if anyone out there has all 52 of these. That would be equally impressive and sad.

PS Headed to Seattle for a conference, so will blog again Friday!

The Cosby Trifecta

Yesterday I was watching a Cosby marathon, and within an hour span, I saw three of my all-time favorite moments:

1. Peter
2. "O-B-K-B" (the way Cliff talks after going to the dentist)
3. Zerberts

With a special honorable mention for Cockroach, the second-best named best friend on 80s TV (after Boner, of course.)

1989 WAS a good year...

Just when I think I'm done with Taylor Swift, she busts out with another catchy song that I have to have. Shake it Off? YES. Not as familiar with Out of the Woods, but I still downloaded it. #respect
And the latest, Welcome to New York? Well it might just be the catchiest thing I have ever heard. Can't. Stop. Playing. It.

Add that to the fact that her cats are named Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, and I might be a little obsessed.

Heel no

Got so many texts last night about UNC's fraud scandal. My poor Tar Heels. At least Duke still sucks.

I fear this could be a slippery slope.

I eat fairly healthy (50 Starburst daily aside), but apparently going on dates brings out the junk food demon in me. I don't want to be "that girl" (which I so clearly am), so I try to be polite and try something if the guy asks me to. Over the years, I have had a few bites of peanut butter pie (which was RIDICULOUSLY good), a french fry or two, and possibly even lamb (which I still tell myself was chicken). Over the weekend, I went to an event at a local museum, and they were doing demonstrations with liquid nitrogen: freezing gummy worms, Cheetos, graham crackers and Oreos. I would have preferred a graham cracker, but my date grabbed an Oreo so I went for it. Don't think I've eaten an Oreo since like 1989. It was good. And made better by the fact that smoke came out of my mouth like a damn dragon. As they say, be yourself. Unless you can be a dragon. Then be a dragon.
