everyone uses facebook
Here's something disturbing/hilarious. If you remember, Jim McGreevey was the governor of New Jersey but then he came out while in office and resigned. You know, the guy that was all like, "My truth is that I am a gay American." Supposedly, he was being blackmailed by some guy he possibly dated or made out with or something. Look, I never claimed to be on top of real news. Anyway, since then, his ex-wife has come forward with a lot of tawdry things to say about it and appeared on Oprah and other shows. She has written some book. She and Jim are still pretty involved in custody battles and junk. He lives with his new boyfriend in some mansion and I don't really know what he does now. But he does use Facebook. How do we know? Well, some football playing teen named Corey that came out a few years and got a little publicity is having a birthday party. And he made a Facebook invite for it. Just like we do! The thing is, he invited all his Facebook friends, including Jim McGreevey. But Jimmy Boy can't come. AND HE ACTUALLY RESPONDED AS TO WHY.
Um, what? This is so nuts. But it really gets my goat. I guess it just goes to show that we all sit around and play on Facebook and anyone that says he doesn't is a damn liar. This proves that my truth is that I am a Facebook American.

Food Cart Review: Lulu B's
Okay, so between my single-hour lunch breaks and this beastly heat, things are about to get Food Cart Central, which is undeniably tight. So I'll be providing reviews of our city's finer mobile restaurants as often as my schedule allows. Let's start with something killer:
Lulu B's Vietnamese Sandwiches. I know what you're thinking, THERE ARE SANDWICHES IN VIETNAM??!?!?!?!??! adf dlfkj asdkfj I didn't know either, but apparently, it's a thing. Sarah and I have been two days in a row now, no lie.
Basic menu breakdown is sandwiches, vermicelli bowls, and summer rolls, with a supporting lineup of smoothies and bubble tea. Being devoutly opposed to bubble tea, I went straight for the smoothie list and proceeded to flip out over the prospect of an avocado smoothie (i know!). I don't know of another place in Austin that serves it and I gotta say, it's so, so tight. Theirs is nice and thick, but not too thick, with a little hint of lime.
The sandwiches are all pretty similar: your choice of protein on a baguette with a "traditional Vietnamese garnish of daikon, carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and chili." And really, that combo is all that matters. I get the feeling that all the choices are relatively similar, which does not make it rock any less. Stand-out for me was the lemongrass pork sandwich. It's just the right balance of spicy and fresh raw vegetables and is perfectly suited to sweating in your jeans under a tree in 100 degree heat (nice trees, too, by the way). But I'm also a sucker for fresh jalapeno and tableside sriracha. As far as the veg option goes, the obit department is prepared to unofficially declare the lemongrass tofu as supreme.
Mint in the summer rolls is a huge plus. The avocado was so good, we got it again on day two instead of branching out. The peanut sauce is far better than you'd expect coming out of a cart, but it's also a little strong, if that's possible. I didn't use much of it.
They also:
happen to be adorable
recycle and use all compostable containers
offer a bring your own bag discount, and
remembered my name after one visit
Downer: cash only, but, alas, that is the way of the cart
Upper: they take call-in orders and have plenty of shaded tables
Overall rating: Super Tight, $$
Largest lolcat of All Time?
Is it tight to get hugs and kisses from a massive lion?
Kinda tight.

Alice Dance Groove
Possibly tight? A South African fellow named Nick made this mix, saying that 90% of the sounds are captured from Disney's Alice In Wonderland. Seems like a lot of work, and the video is kind of tight.

Sounds kind of like a Bjork b-side, but I kinda likes it for what it is. byebye
put these on asap
Most of us have probably seen these bad album covers. If not, you can see more at the source. But I have to say, if I was given the chance to record an album I would go balls to the wall like these tools. I mean, if you've got one shot, just go for it. Elephants in wigs?! TIGHT! Also, the "many facets of Roger" appear to be mostly one facet. And that guy with the dog is terribly cocky. Poor pooch.
The site is worth checking out for many reasons, but one of them is the incredible Millie Jackson, whose album Back to the Shit, showcases her taking a dump. I was going to post the cover, but then I realized I didn't want first time readers to never read again. You'll have to see it for yourself. Also, believe it or not, my dad actually owns some Millie Jackson.

Basically, these are screen caps. However, this guy is tight because he knew just when to cap it. These are hilarious. What a simple yet brill idea.
