You Gotta Have Faith. Unless She's a Stripper Who's Sleeping With Your Husband.

I was waiting to cross Sunset Boulevard, on my way to the money order place, because I got my first parking ticket in LA ($68 for streetcleaning!!!) using someone else's car. Bark on my head! — as I used to say as a pre-teen, don't ask me why. I even painted a dog's head and mouth on the top of my bedroom's doorway so when you passed under it, it looked like a dog was actually barking on your head.

Anyways. So the light was red, and a matronly woman wearing 3D glasses and a backpack underneath her blue rain poncho was standing there, her brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. I pressed the walk button.



"I already pressed it!"
And I laughed and said, "I always press it more than once because it totally makes the light turn faster right?!"
"Right," she said and smiled.
"I have faith," I said.
"That's good," she said. "I don't."

I was mid-giving-her-sadface when my new back-pregnant friend smiled and said, "I got rid of her. Faith was a stripper who was sleeping with my husband."
"Oh!" I exclaimed and laughed.
"I got rid of Hope too!"

I started to ask about Charity, but Charity had obviously been spared — 3D-Poncho-Backpack Lady broke up the monotony of my day, making dropping $68 not totally suck frozen meatballs. "I'm glad I could make you smile," she said, and she headed to waste time on Sunset before picking up her daughter from school.

"OMG, DON'T JUMP!"



I believe I actually did yell that at the cat.

Would You Attack Me If I Was Wearing This Hoodie?



Introducing, the Anti-Hoodie. An attacker won't be able to tell your gender or race and will be totally scared away by the scary face with very sharp teeth. (Note: Eye holes not included. By BAPE.)

Sour-Liquid Tampon Drops



I posted this Instagram photo to my Facebook and wrote: "Are sour liquid drops really up there with tampons when it comes to bathroom vending necessities?" The first comment was from my sister's friend Brent who said: "Sure...one stops liquid drops and the other provides liquid drops." To which I replied: "Maybe they're for when ladies get that 'not so fresh' feeling."
