Saturday
Happy Saturday! It’s been rain-city around here lately so we’ve reverted to our college days and started working from Starbucks. But it’s supposed to be nice today!
I’ve also been trying to update my scrapbook and get the assemblage of saved bits down to a manageable size (see photo, with eerie shadow-stick-figure, that’s me).
After pancakes, I’m hoping Joe and I make it to MIT’s European Film Festival. It pays to live near universities with lots of event funding floating around. It also costs to live near them, now that you mention it.
I watched this funny Pregnant Woman are Smug video, and grimaced because it’s inevitably me, to some extent. (Isn’t smug just the perfect word for some things?) Someone in the comments points out that engaged women are also awfully smug, which I think is fair spot on and made me feel better. Also, people who were just proven right by Alex Trebek. Maybe we should all privately write down the most smug people we know and then show each other our answers.
Joe says this color app is what all the cool design kids are talking about. Anyone using it?

That pregnant women are smug video made me giggle. And it IS equally true for engaged women.
Plus, some women are always smug no matter what, so there’s that.

and some women are just doomed to look smug, like this: http://blog.krisatomic.com/?p=1617 (via Cup of Jo)

sounds like a fun Saturday to me…
love the pregnant women are smug video – it cracks me up! But I can’t help thinking there are so many “types” of smug people.
Disclaimer – Brad is the least smug person I know. But – grad school students, especially those studying art are smug. (Have you ever been to a student art show? wowzers. ) They are like, “So what are YOU studying? I am getting MY Masters” Like anyone without an advanced degree has the knowledge of a snail. Or that someone could proceed in life happily or successfully without an advanced degree. It reminds me of the one-up girl on SNL – Penelope.
I am off my soapbox now.

I always look at them pityingly and hint at all the debt they are in for life, while you work away in the free world.

P.S. I have never heard of the name Lux before. So original and Ringenberg. I love it.

Thanks! It’s unique (i think half my family is hoping it will go away) but I’ve loved it for years so it would be tough to talk me out of….we’ll see how I feel when the time comes. : )

Thanks for sharing this – hilarious. If it makes you feel any better, law students are also kind of (okay, highly) smug. And we aren’t even Growing New People, which I mean really, is a fair bit more impressive, if you ask me. Also, I rocked the fish bottle opener I ordered from the Market at a gathering last night and it was the envy of the crowd. Just saying.
Rachael
I love this. Smugness abounds! So happy to hear the fishy was out on the town–a good looking creature.
