Five Good Things: Niecy Nash Edition
Do you guys think Niecy Nash is a drag queen? A little bit I do.
ANYWAY.
1. Ask and you shall receive: my jury duty got cancelled today, which means I’ve got myself an unexpected Friday off, and it is seventy degrees outside. Am erranding, thrifting, planting, writing, baking, and generally bringing the funk. Happy, happy.
2. Tom, in conversation last night: “He didn’t believe me, because he doesn’t know what a maniac you are.” Also we went for a walk to Carson Beach and I told him all about how when I was in seventh grade we acted out the Stations of the Cross and all the robes smelled like the kids who had worn them before you and this girl in my class made up R-rated lyrics to “We You There When They Crucified my Lord,” and Tom went to Catholic school too and he knew exactly what I was talking about.
3. An Education: completely lovely and affecting even though it stars Creepy Peter Saarsgard as Creepy Peter Saarsgard. Plus it really made me want to get a spiffy dress and some Audrey Hepburn sunglasses and jet over to Paris for a little while and practice being fabulous.
4. I mentioned last week that I was jonesing for prints for the kitchen. Thanks to everybody for your suggestions–Kim, especially, was a total Soldier of Art. I was looking for something that elicited some kind of gut happiness, and I’m delighted to report that the 8×10 prints by NayArts had me throwing my head back and dying of glee. I bought five of them, and cannot wait until my kitchen walls are adorned with reminders like “I love banjo music” and “Let’s pretend we are secret agents.”
5.. My tax refund is enough for a plane ticket to London in the fall. I’M JUST SAYING.
Okay. I’m going outside now.

If you were walking on Carson beach last night between the minutes of 7:05 and 7:20, you may have seen a crazy barefoot redhead running on the sidewalk!

I secretly kind of love Niecy Nash, from watching her on Clean House.
And, she was definitely the guest judge a couple weeks ago on RuPaul’s Drag Race (um, yes, we are addicted), so she is at the very least a certified drag queen expert.

One year we had to be a human stations of the cross inside the huge church and I was standing next to this guy Patrick that I was crushing on and I used to be such a little dork and it made me so so nervous. Then it was my turn to say the hail Mary into the mic And I forgot all the words and he whispered them all to me and I think he rolled his eyes and then I had to stand next to him until thehuman rosary was done. It was horrible. But I got over it. I think.
But I still like Easter. Damn, Tom is such a keeper. You should fly to California. Just sayin’
