assertively unhip skip to main skip to sidebar assertively unhip monday august 18 2008 goodbye assertively unhip hello the cold cold north to go with my new canadian life i have decided to kill this old blog and start a new one we all know that i am inescapably hip anyway it s best to just accept it so i hope you ll join me up here in the cold cold north posted by lis at 6 27 pm 1 comment labels death of the cool moving on up sunday july 27 2008 the annointed one i am somewhere in nebraska wending my way to the cold cold north thought you all might enjoy this it cracked me up light of the world posted by lis at 7 26 am 1 comment labels obama is driving my uhaul the cold cold north thursday may 29 2008 not as bad as a terrorist so at the cwc i ve somehow gained the reputation of being mean and scary t has had to to assure several staff members that i don t hate them i ve heard this sort of thing before about the way i come across to people so i m not totally surprised but i ve never heard these comments with such frequency it might be the scowl it might be my distaste for small talk i m not really sure i do have a few theories but they would take far too long to explain regardless of the cause pretty much every staff member at the cwc has at some point thought that i was scary my supposed scariness is now a topic of open discussion so much so that new employees are assured in advance that i am not mean last night was my farewell party with the c dubbers where of course my meany meanness was the subject of conversation and laughter i asked our newest employee a marine who did two tours in iraq whether he also thought i was scary not really he said but i fought terrorists well there you go posted by lis at 7 49 am 4 comments labels my personal regime of terror wednesday may 28 2008 thai tattoos tequila this just in scarlett johansson has an album just in case you want to buy it now that we have that tasty news out of the way the real news is that to mark my marriage to mark my departure from utah or just for the hell of it i now have a tattoo that s right kids it s my first tattoo except for those ones i got from the radiation tech back in the cancer days tif and i organized an alliterative evening she s a supreme tattoo facilitator encouraging and accompanying anyone who mentions the slightest whiff of interest in getting a tattoo with thai food for dinner the tattoos and then tequila since we went to port o call tif also said it should be my goal for the evening to kiss one of the guys in the bar then we could have added tongue to the list it was port o call and there were a lot of leering guys in the bar and it was my bachelorette party after all but i decided against it port o call and the tequila shots were exciting but the real excitement of the night was my tattoo i would post a picture but it is currently covered in plastic and kind of puffy but if you see me i might show it to you i ve been contemplating getting a tattoo for years so now seemed a fine time i was nervous about the thing not about the needle which doesn t bother me at all but about the idea that i might not like the thing that i might instantly regret it but i love it love it while i was getting inked i was thinking about another design i could get to turn my little medical tattoos which bug me in the way they remind me of bad days into something of my own tif says tattoos are addictive anyway i feel all emboldened now maybe i ll make an album posted by lis at 8 29 am 6 comments labels album making potentially ill advised responses to major life changes why has it taken me so long to realize the beauty of the tequila shot monday may 26 2008 ottawa fashion last week ottawa held its first ever fashion week there were a lot of scarves in the show i feel like this is not a very good sign but from looking at the pictures it is clear that just like liz lemon in cleveland in ottawa i can be a model to see more go here and scroll down for ottawa fashion week day 1 2 posted by lis at 11 52 am 3 comments labels contextual beauty fashion the cold cold north saturday may 24 2008 i ve been reading the wrong things this morning i read this review in the ny times about a new compilation of the 1001 books you must read before you die the article links to the list which of course led me to assessing myself i ve read eighty five of the books on the list which isn t very good i m afraid which means i guess that i have been reading all the wrong things i did surprisingly well in the 1800s which i guess can be explained by my college obsession with all things thomas hardy and edith wharton if you add the books that i have started but never finished i am up to 97 that s almost ten percent i gave myself credit for last of the mohicans even though i ve only read the pioneers but i think if you ve read one of fenimore cooper s books you should get credit for all of them i also think that because i have started a half a dozen of dickens books but haven t finished any of them i should get credit for at least one of them one of the books on the list is joseph andrews which for me is the symbol of all of my failings as an undergraduate i keep a copy of it on my shelf which i promise myself i will one day read just to make up for all of the assigned books that i failed to read i think my guilt is mainly caused by the fact that even though i didn t read many things i still got very good grades i didn t count joseph andrews but i think maybe i should because of my good intentions if you count all of the film adaptations i have seen of books i have not read then i can move my number up to 128 if i add the books that i have heard so much about that i feel like i have read them i am at 157 if i add the books that are on my shelves but i have not yet read i am at 171 that s still not very good but if i consider that i am only 34 which means i have only been reading this sort of book for 18 years then that s an average of four books a year that i ve actually read that s respectable and why are none of the faulkner books that i ve read on this list whatever posted by lis at 9 04 am 5 comments labels other peoples opinions the measure of a reader what does reading mean anyway sunday may 18 2008 weekend wrap up ok i know the weekend isn t over yet but really all i m going to do today is clean the house and run lame wedding type errands and enjoy the sun finally in my tank top and flip flops the main outcome of the weekend is that i need to get a concertina we went to living traditions last night and listened to this irish band for a bit we didn t like them too much but one of them was playing a concertina which i have now decided i must have i ve found several on e bay and a beginning instruction book sigh i will just have to wait until after the wedding and after the move when i have cash to buy random things that i am certain will make my life better but i did buy one random thing that is in fact making my life better it was only like 15 so it s ok we stopped by starbucks in american fork it is hard to find starbucks in the happy valley and there was this cd which i bought without thinking it s a new wave compilation most of the songs i have on various cds so i could probably have made the mix myself but i didn t have joy division s love will tear us apart or tom tom club s genius of love i could have spent 2 on itunes instead of the 15 but whatever i m listening to it now and it rocks and it will make house cleaning easier if i ever get off of my computer and on to the cleaning the weekend was mostly about wedding stuff which i am no longer stressing about it s all but done and it s going to be lovely my sisters gave me a shower on friday which all but one of my aunts and many cousins and even a couple of uncles came to it was very sweet of them all to come and a bit overwhelming i spent a lot of time explaining where we were getting married and why and who was marrying us i m one of a few of the kids who has not gotten married in the temple or at least at a mormon church by a mormon bishop they don t know what to make of me some times which makes it all the lovelier that they all came to the shower one of my uncles is perpetually begging me to come to the wedding oh the curse of the small wedding as part of our wedding chores we stopped at chocolatier blue in alpine which if you haven t been to you must they sell the chocolates at caputos but they re at least twice as much there and if you go to the alpine shop and chat with mr blue about how much you like his confections and chocolates in general he will give you free samples of delicious things like yesterday he was telling us how amedei is working with him to be the exclusive confectioner for their chocolate which rocks my world he had big hunks of couverture which they sent to him to experiment with he joked that someone was going to break into his shop for those he shouldn t have said that because really i was considering he broke us off a couple of chunks and told us that when we pick up our wedding chocolates maybe he ll include a few of his amedei experiments for us yes please anyway if you like chocolate his chocolates will make you cry just a little not in an embarrassing way don t worry finally in other news i got accepted to the phd program
