Hook a Sister Up

I'm leaving for Maine on Wednesday (squee!). If you have any ideas about places I shouldn't miss, do pass them on. I am staying at a friend's house in the mid-coast area, but we will be headed to Portland at least one day. I've been here a few times before, but I'm always looking for new places to go in the area.

    If you have a day to kill I'd suggest a trip to Camden. It's about 2 hours from Portland. Camden is the most adorable New England town. The drive there takes you past the outlets. Have lunch at Cappy's Chowder House overlooking the marina, and shop the cute boutiques downtown. Grab a lobster roll from a roadside vendor on your way home that night for dinner.

    Yep, I've done Camden, though it might merit another trip. One of the times I went they were filming a Mel Gibson movie there (in the pre-"sugar tits"/Jesus-freak days). Thanks for the suggestion. I love your site.

    Dear Mamacita,

    Surely you realize by now that we live vicariously through you. You have been in Maine for TWO WHOLE DAYS, and yet you haven't posted any pictures or even any gloating about how it isn't 95 degrees there. Please throw your fans a bone.

    Regards,
    Soletrain

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.
