Things I learned in the last 3 minutes while I was being rung up at Target -or- Classic TMI -or- the lady checking me out wouldn't shut up

1. If you want to get married find a guy that's almost 40. And rich.

2. Dont get a DUI. The judge will treat you like a criminal. (hmm go figure)

3. Marry someone rich. You'll regret it if you don't.

4. Checkers brother is a bad guy.

5. There is a cute blonde cop around here somewhere.

6. Really though, marry rich.

Thanks, lady. What would I possibly have done without you? Married a homeless guys?! Probably.

Website of the Day: Every Person in New York

Every Person in New York

I stumbled on this blog doing a google image search last night. This dude is attempting to draw every single person in New York. My bet is that he ultimately fails, but it's good to have aspirations.

Also, he goes to Taco Bell a lot, so that's awesome.

Anatomy of Roadside Hygiene

Figure 1: Subject has not showered for six consecutive days.

God's give to travelers? Wet wipes. The face kind. The key to not getting stinky lies with the face wipes... they clear you face, your feet, your pits. It's glorious.

Wearing makeup seems to be more hassle than it's worth on the road. Opt for gigantic sunglasses instead. They cover half our face not only making you seem more mysterious, they cover the sleep dust in your eyes when you're heading to the McDonald's bathroom to get dressed.

The second best thing next to wipes is dry shampoo. Normally, I use Psssssssst!, but Dalene got me some salon stuff for Christmas. It works great for days 2 through 4. After day for though, the grime is too much. A headband does wonders- it says to the world, "My hair is supposed to look like this, thankyouverymuch." I have really embraced the headband on this trip for just that reason. (See above.)

Rivers are a great way to refresh your face and get your hair wet so it doesn't stick up everywhere... but mind the freezing glacial rivers of the north. They will freeze your scalp and give you a headache!

When you get really desperate buy some cheap shampoo (if you don't already use that crap)- it lathers really easily, then using a large jug of water (I used a gallon jug but didn't empty it) wash your hair. It feels amazing. Especially after having dirty hair for 5 days. If you are really lucky, there is a bathroom nearby with hand dryers. Kneel under the dryer and use your fingers to rub your hair and dry it out. Be warned: this takes forever. It's totally worth it though.

Because I have been camping my nails got really dirty. I tried to clean them out with the pokey thing in the nail clippers, but nothing gets them clean like washing your hair in the shower... so I painted them. It worked great! Now I don't feel like the dirty chick with the gross nails.

I was going to write this post like a textbook. Oh well.

Toilet Tales: Pheonix

I am staying at my cousin Jason's house in Lexie's room. She has her own bathroom and it's a good spot for Stella so she can stay away from their gigantic dog, Wild.

My first night here I went in to the bathroom to get ready for bed. The last task to was go to the bathroom. I turn around to flush the toilet and there is no handle! Uh oh. No big deal though, I just pull the lid off the toilet tank to manually flush the thing.

I grab the appropriate piece and pull up... and it sprayed me in the face!! OMG. I got it to flush, but I also got a second shower. Awesome. Thanks for the warning, Jas.

The KGB Took My Baby Away

Ok so weirdest thing... we were wrapping up our photo mission down in the arts district (read: hungry and running low on film) standing on the corner in this totally desserted part of town deciding where to get lunch and how to hook back up with our mate from foggy London- town when what drives by? A freaking motorcade of unmarked vehicles, cop cars, motorcycle police and KGB smartcars. Several of them. What.

Total rookie move my Rebel was in my bag and I'm franticly exiting out of my text message on my Blcakberry to get the camera... this is all I have to show for it... The other jerks with film cameras were reloading. It's like we were caught with our pants down! Blowing it!!

Anyway, this is all the proof we have of the very odd, very quick, very...? event.

Let the conspiracy theories begin!

Polaroid is not Dead! (Well, kinda...)

Jimi told me about this sweet application, I think you its for Mac only... Anyone who matters has a Mac now anyway, right? It changes regular images into "polaroids"- it's pretty rad. The two images below were shot on my Canon Rebel...
