Entry tags:
two videos, a meme, and a book series
First off, three points to whoever figures out the extremely oblique reference in my subject line.
Secondly, a couple of videos I've been hanging on to since South By Southwest:
From the Q&A at the screening of Being Elmo that I attended, to which Kevin Clash (Elmo's puppeteer) showed up with the actual Elmo and this deeply adorable thing happened:
SO CUTE OMG.
The next one requires a little explanation for people who have never been to SXSW: before each movie, they screen a little micro-short (called a "bumper") for shits and giggles. Last year, this one about a girl going on an eventful hike in the woods was far and away the funniest, and the same director made all the new ones for the 2011 festival.
If you liked that, the rest of the 2011 bumpers can be found here and here.

This pictures were taken last month and I have a new cell phone now, but I'm too lazy to redo them. All my purse stuff is fairly constant.
An overhead shot with cell phone for scale. I found this bag at a garage sale, have used it almost daily since, and get complimented on frequently. It was originally about 4 inches taller with an extra stripe at the top (like the one in the middle), but it looked wonky and was too tall to reach into comfortably, so my mom altered it for me.
She added a lining when I ripped a hole in the bottom, and because she is made of awesome, put in 2 velcro pockets.
From bottom left vaguely clockwise:
1) My keys: van, back door, front door, LED light (white), work inner door, work outer door, Serenity keychain fob I received from the hands of Nathan Fillion himself at the ultra-advanced screening I went to in April 2005.
Separately: CVR key.
2) ipod earbuds
3) Shitty notepad and equally shitty pen for writing lists and occasionally to draw maps or give my number to people. In picture, the list on the first page is a shortlist of SXSW movies I was trying to squeeze in before the festival ended.
4) My wallet. Never contains quite as much money as I would like :(
5) My paycheck. Why does my work not do direct deposit? Total mystery.
6) Glasses case. Also shitty, but I have decorated it with a sticker referencing A Very Long Summer. The other side has a Ha Ha Tonka decal and a little astronaut.
7) Chapstick, peppermint flavor.
8) Listerine breath strips, stolen from Lindsey.
9) Bobby pins, because my hair is too short and curly to stay out of my face anymore, and a lone rubber band from when my hair was longer.
10) Gum. The brand and flavor has been varying lately, but I'm going to switch back to normal original flavor Trident now that I have run out. Target, here I come.
11) My old shitty cell phone. Note the many scuff marks where I have dropped it, which is why I cannot have an iPhone. Yet. Someday I will be a grownup who can hold things without dropping them.
12) Advil travel size bottle. Does not actually contain Advil, but ibuprofen. I'm crafty like that. Probably the most shared item in my purse, even above the gum.
13) iPod nano (black, leather case). I also have a silver clip-on shuffle, but for some reason it was not in my bag that day. I have been using it to listen to podfic at work recently, to stave off the mind-numbing boredom while I c&p thousands of tracking numbers to check for shipping issues. Seriously hate UPS and FedEx right now. HAAAAAAAAAATE.
14) Post-it note with classmate's address. She was helping me review a sports massage class I was absent for since I didn't have time to make it up before the exam, and then lent me her Blackadder DVDs. ♥

I have read the first six Dresden novels. Someone talk to me about how awesome they are! We can talk about the hilarity of demons who fling flaming monkey poo, or how Harry is such a classic example of the noir detective hero (right down to the whumping), or how much ass Murphy kicks. Talk to meeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
