Praise the Lord

We're back! Sorry for the hiatus, but we're busy gals. Lucky for you, that means we're coming back with new Kanye and other wonderful things to post about :) Stay tuned.

For now, bask in the glory that is Yeezus Christ. No flaws or lies detected.

CHURCH

"You know, for the last year or so, I've been talkin' about going to law school so I can be an A.C.L.U. lawyer and be in a position to help people who are getting fucked over and all that? Well, I was standing in line at the post office yesterday, you know, and I'm lookin' around. And everybody's looking really pathetic. You know, what I mean? I mean, people are-- got like drool, just sorta-- And like this guy's bending over, you could see the crack-- It was just like wife beaters-- Anyway, it was-- And I realized I just didn't want to do it. You know what I mean? It sounds good and all, but I have to confront the fact that I really don't like the people I've been talking about helping out. You know what I'm sayi-- I don't think I like people, period. I mean, you guys are okay. I'm just trying to be honest about being a misanthrope."

Workin' on our shit

Please excuse the fact that we haven't updated in a while. I can't speak for Alicia, but things have been really hectic for me--I started watching the Americans, and then Kobe tore his Achilles...honestly, it's just been one thing after another.

We can't get enough of this song and video for Work by Iggy Azalea. I think this is the best video since Beyonce's Countdown, which is the highest compliment a video can receive, in my opinion. I've probably watched this 100 times already. Bitch is fly as fuck.

It's always a good time for this

Building a Bar: An Epic Poem

Graduating from college and becoming a full-fledge adult comes with responsibilities. There are many, most of them boring and unglamorous, but today we'll just focus on the glamorous. My favorite adult role that I have to play is hostess and being a good hostess means having a well-stocked bar. What's the point in coming over to your house if there's no booze in it? Am I right? No guest should feel like a lush and have to ask for a drink. That said, the best way to keep the libations flowing is to be prepared and have a decent set of drink-making materials and you're in business.

I'm not going to lie, it's kind of difficult to get your bar together all at once. Alcohol and supplies are expensive! On top of that, you'll probably start drinking before you have everything that just needs maintaining. With patience and care put into curating a perfect bar set-up, you'll wow all of your guests in no time.

The Calm Before the Storm

It is Inauguration Weekend and, as a DC-resident, I am terrified. I made it through the traffic last night after a tiny hiatus at my parents' house in northern Maryland, but I know Monday is going to be a little crazy with all the tourists in town. So, to gather the last of my marbles before tomorrow, I've been relaxing on my couch, reading all day. Here's a few pieces of my day:

WHAT YOUR ZODIAC SIGN SAYS ABOUT YOU*

*according to me. if you're offended, it's probably because you're a cancer. 

Capricorn: you are boring but tolerable
Aquarius: you are pretentious, unreliable, and mostly insufferable. You should lie and tell people you're a Libra or something.
Pisces: you're sensitive, romantic, and sentimental. despite that, you're alright.
Aries: you're selfish and kind of a dick. 
Taurus: you're stubborn and if you're a guy, you're the worst [unless you're Robert Pattinson]
Gemini: you're easygoing and worldly but also a little capricious.
Cancer: you're sensitive in an annoying and self-involved way. 
Leo: you're loud and dramatic but also generous and a loyal friend [and you are me, and therefore you're wonderful and beautiful and awesome in every way.]
Virgo: you are boring and have shitty taste. you're also probably a pervert.
Scorpio: you are so terrible that you don't even deserve a description [but i'm giving you one anyway]
Libra: you are fun and liked by pretty much everyone. you are also indecisive, though, and that shit's annoying.
Sagittarius: you are blunt and hot-tempered, but that is precisely what makes you awesome. And you are my best friend in the entire universe's sign, and therefore you are fabulous.
