Are you ready for a post with ACTUAL WORDS!?!?

I'm just not feeling very write'y these days Internet, but here's what I can muster:

1. I downloaded the soundtrack to St Elmo's Fire on Friday night because, and I'm guessing this is the only reason anyone ever downloads the St Elmo's Fire soundtrack, Lauren and I were at a bar and Man in Motion came on the jukebox, it got the bar all fired up and I was inspired to own it for myself. Turns out, you can't just download that one song and I had to buy the whole album. I remembered my recent purchase this afternoon so I've been listening to it while driving around town and I have to say...it really is awful.

1a. I LOVED that movie, by the way. I've probably seen it 100 times but only a couple of times as an adult and it's still awesome, but it's also totally laughable. Alec and Leslie were fresh out of college, lived in a fancy loft apartment, dressed like they were their parents, drank red wine and had important jobs. When I was 13 I thought that was reality.

2. I'm house sitting for my cousin Stephanie. She has two cats but they don't get along so I have to give them turns being out in the main house. I'm supposed to entice them back to their own areas with treats but I don't remember how many of these treats I'm supposed to give them. They're teeny small so I've been giving them two because one seems stingy but I didn't want her to come back and be all "Dude! My cats got fat!" I am pleased to report that I just saw a commercial for the same treats and they're only two calories each.

2a. So now that I'm confident I haven't been fattening up her cats I can focus on the fact that my face wash bleached out her towels.

Ask me to house sit and I'll ruin your towels and possibly make your pets fat!

(And for the record, I bought new towels but I'm a bit twitchy about the fact that I couldn't find the exact same ones...my fingers are crossed that the Hotel ones voted #1 by Good Housekeeping magazine readers will meet her drying off needs.)

3. You know those big spotlights that go back and forth across the sky? I saw one last night and realized that it's been a long time since I've seen one. It feels like I used to see them all the time and think that something really wonderful must be at the bottom. (When in reality it's something boring like a sale at a car dealership or something.)

So last night I was driving home with my Chinese food (a stormy Saturday night necessity) and saw the spotlight and decided that I'd like one for my wedding.

You know, one day far off in the future. If I have to wear an age-appropriate pantsuit instead of a dress, I at least want a spotlight.

4. I smell like spray tan.
