dear universe

i am and ever shall be a pisces. enough with this the-earth-has-shifted-so-you-really-are-an-aquarius, mmmkay? thanks.

ps - the blog is two fish (pisces+pisces) and a flame (sagittarius) for goodness' sake! help a sister out.

we're gettin' the band back together!

given that we are finally all on the same continent, this fish is meeting up with TFAAF's other fish and the flame this weekend - woot!

(incidentally, this is the first google image you get when searching for "two fish and flame." this photo features one fish, one crustacean and no flames. talk amongst yourselves.)

have a good weekend, everyone!

admirable, but coco loco (tchotchke edition)

oh, bravo. appetizers sent to the office around 2pm does not a media tchotchke make.

i suppose that wanting to give the buyers a snack is admirable, but this concoction - questionable tuna served under plastic wrap with 3 generous wheat thins - is definitely coco loco. more like an unappetizer, if you ask me.

i really wish i had been in that meeting when they brainstormed this idea...

(thanks TD & RB!)

yesterday

...was a lovely day to be on the water. 

ah, summertime. how lovely thou art. 

so scarily bad, it's good?

it's no day after tomorrow. and i'm not even sure if it's for reals, yo. but this just might be so awful, it's awesome. shark? giant octopus? deborah "debbie" gibson? lorenzo lamas? you had me at "mega"...

in honor of good friday...

here's a little tune to get stuck in your head:

one fish, two fish...

crazy new fish. check out the recently discovered "psychedelica" fish. or should that be phish?

wish you were there

TFAAF had a fab reunion last weekend in Los Angeles - here's the view of the Santa Monica pier, where we were scammed by an outrageously expensive pitcher of 'sangria' and a 'free' postcard. good times, good times. 

we're gettin' the band back together!

exciting news, folks: this weekend, if all goes to plan, both fish and the flame will be back together again on the same continent / in the same country / and in the same city at the same time! we are Hollywood bound for a little reunion and hopefully a lot of bizarroness! cheers, bye!

mother knows best?

a colleague of mine shared one of her favorite sites - postcards from yo momma, which fabulously describes themselves as 'a repository of modern day maternal correspondence '. i had a bit of a PFYM convo with my mother tonight:

mom: your sister says to take your turn on scrabble on that myface thing [facebook]. i didn't know you had a blog. you didn't tell me. 

bizarro gnome: yeah, i've had one for nearly a year now. 

mom: well, i don't even know what one of those is. 

ps - mom, if you are reading this i love you. 

when worlds collide

this evening was a perfect example of when the professional me & the real me collide. the high-yield frequent business traveller me checks into the hotel. the HYFBT me is asked which complementary newspaper she would like to receive in the morning. here, the real me chimes in and chooses the tennessean b/c she knows the wall street journal will not have her horoscope!

ps - the real me is enjoyng how accurate both the sweet & the sassy horoscope tiles from uncommon goods are.
