I know this has nothing to do with living the consciously frugal life, but it is so freakin' hilarious that I just had to share it with you. Yes, it's the equivalent of a forwarded email. Wrong. Just wrong. I know. But if you will click on the link, read through the email exchange and, most importantly, listen to the wee song clips, you will love me for it. I swear. Well, actually, you'll love Amber Tamblyn for it. And you should love her, because she is 101 kinds of fabulous. Great human, fabulous actress, awesome poet. (No, I cannot get her to read your script. No, I will not tell her about this great idea you have.) (Pardon that outburst. LA is full of people who can't seem to speak unless they're trying to get something from you.)
Amber pulled a wee trick on pretty boy Tyrese and the hilarity that ensued is brilliant. Check out her "awareness raps" and then pray she actually makes an album of them. How could you not love such lyrics? "I'm waking up in the morning/I got curlers in my hair/I'm going to the beach going to eat some eggs/I don't give a fuck if that didn't rhyme." (From "Splits") My favorite, of course, is "Contraception Matters," which is a sort of open letter to congress. Not to mention that she refers to herself as the "Hillary Clinton of Ghostface Killahs."
Seriously, people. This shit is hilarious. Give it a read and listen (and excuse the photo at the beginning of this article. It's of the gal that Tyrese originally thought was Ms. Tamblyn):

Yes, I saw this on FB today courtesy of mi friend.
Thank you for the forwarded email. It's probably the only on I've ever enjoyed.
"All In Favor" is hilarious.... and she has some good suggestions.
Unrelated -- but did you read that your beloved state is going to put a bust of Limbaugh in the hall of famous "Missourians???" WTF?

Glad y'all enjoyed the forwarded email. :P I can't stop laughing over these. Oy.
Janeen, unfortunately, that troll is from Missouri. He gave the commencement speech at a friend's high school graduation. She tried not to puke. He's from the boot heel o' MO, where many a Klansman is from. Much of MO is very much the stereotype of the deep south. Ug. Just focus on Twain and Truman! Twain and Truman!
But seriously, since they're putting that wretched fuckstick in, I hope they toss in pretty boy Brad Pitt while they're at it. Oy.
Twain, Truman, and let's not forget George Washington Carver.
Random fact -- an acquaintance of mine who used to live near Springfield says that Brad Pitt was her grocery bagger for a few years when he was in HS. Holy moly!
Woman, one day I will tell you my Pitt stories (none personal, but through other folks who knew him). My first boss out here was a buddy of his who fed and housed him while he was a struggling actor. Since he's hit it big, he has completely ignored her. Super sweet, eh? Ug.
At least he's pretty!
