Major Problem.

What is my problem?


Turkey Hill Extreme Cookies 'N Cream Light Recipe Ice Cream!

It is too freaking delicious. So I go to Ukrops yesterday to buy a 1.75 qt tub and here I am-- 24 hours later scraping the melted chocolately liquid off the bottom of the container.

Srsly. Buy this stuff if you don't suffer from ice cream binging and you crave a cold creamy treat that isn't too unhealthy.

Here is the description of the ice cream and some nutritional facts.

"Chocolate light ice cream with chocolate cookies and crunchy chocolate cookie swirl"

Per 1/2 cup: 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates.

So basically in the past day I ate 2000 calories of 'scream. Embarrassing!

Oh yeah, and all that cookie mumbo jumbo in the description is ALL TRUE. There are tons of big oreo like cookies in the ice cream. You know what is the worst? When ice cream doesn't live up to its description. Ben and Jerry's is notorious for that.

Iced Caffeinated Beverages

Aren't they great?

Lately I have been a bit of a cheapskate and only buying iced coffees as opposed to the fancier iced latte or mocha.






Also, for a quick drink on the go- Starbucks makes a creamy light iced coffee IN A CAN.

Just a nug.

I'm sure everyone's seen this, because I'm not half as hip as you 'sheds, but here is something that I obsess over. The Asian characters, the venetian blind sunglasses, and the DAFT PUNK ROBOTS. Kanye knows how to chill like whoa.

so urban.

urban dictionary's definition of "straight chillin'":

1. straight chillin

hanging out around the house in just your underwear.

“Hey Scott, me and the girls are gonna be there in ten minutes.”

“Nah, man. I’m straight chillin and I don’t wanna put on pants right now.”

tags straight chillin straight chillin straight chillin' chillin'

bwahahahaha... works for me.

Mr. Brooks


This weekend I saw "Mr. Brooks", a bizarro movie about a serial killer. Rottentomatoes gave it a 52% cream of the crop rating, but I would give it a sound 70%. So, if you are into pseudo campy movies about serial killers that will at times make you jump out of your seat- check it out. Also, you can see Dane Cook in a scary serious role.

Also, don't you guys think Costner look freakishly like Alan Rickman in this shot? Weird!

LIST TIME!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys,

Before I get into all this list-y fun, let me just say that I am so glad everyone is keeping up with HMPV!! Anyways, back to the good stuff. Here is the dealio- some of the stressin' is over with- I mean, sure, there is always stuff to worry over, but now it is time to CHILL. Here are some things I have been obsessing over while I work, drive, and just plain ol' chill.
1. Cocteau Twins.



So it took me a while to really understand my friend yourinator's obsession. However, this past year, everything became crystal clear. The Cocteau Twins with all their dreamy, ethereal pop goodness are about as close to perfect as music can be. They go perfectly with everything- except I guess, dancing at a club. Working on your thesis? "Lazy Calm" or "Athol-Brose" will serve as perfect background music with enough melody to please the ear without distracting you with crazy loud beats. Driving in the car? Just listen to all of Heaven or Las Vegas (minus "Road, River, and Rail"). You can pretend you understand Elizabeth Fraser's vocals enough to sing along or you can just lean back and lose yourself in the dreaminess. This is a little embarrassing, but sometimes I just lie down in bed and listen to them! Okay, I have probably said enough- considering I am a rookie fan- but they are just so GREAT.
2. Fruit Tarts.


They are so delicious. I ate two last night! Personally, I like the ones at Whole Foods, but most bakeries make a pretty decent tart.

3. Bikini bottoms that are termed "ring hipsters"

I just bought a bikini bottom made by Perry Ellis. Normally that would be kind of embarrassing to admit, considering the fact that I am only 24 and shouldn't be wearing "Mom" swimsuits, but these bottoms are so CUTE. They don't ride really low like all the other bikini bottoms out there and they have these cute little rings on either side of your pelvis bone that give your boring bikini bottom edge. I also like the tiny "reveal" of skin that isn't usually shown. This picture isn't the bikini bottom I bought- but you get the idea.
4. Short stories.


As everyone here at HMPV knows, I have been stressing- which means I haven't been able to keep up with "Bestseller weekend"- my lofty attempt to read a bestseller in a weekend. Every week. So, instead, I just curl up with short stories at night! A short story can be great because you can enjoy the writing and get a sense of accomplishment before bed by finishing a story. The book pictured has a bunch of really tight short stories. I bought it at a thrift store a few years ago for like, a dollar.
I guess that is it for now. There are tons more things that are keeping me chillin', but I would be blogging about them till the sun comes up!
