The Golden Egg

Today was an exciting day at Casa Kiki.

Our hen has laid her first egg! A speckled wonder! A bit small, but not bad for a first try! You go, girl!

But the excitement wasn’t over. Later in the evening, what do you suppose we found?

It’s eggsanity! As an eggsample, here’s a pic of our TWO BRAND NEW EGGS alongside one of the froofy organic free range eggs we used to buy.

In a month, hopefully 4 more of the girls will catch up and begin laying their own eggs. And then a month after that, our Rhode Island Reds should be ready! We’ll have to quit our jobs and become full-time farmers!

Mrs. Chuckles, I’m so proud of you!

FAVORITE SONG EVER FROM (future) FAVORITE MOVIE EVER

Filed under: The Fabulous World of Kiki — 9:35 pm

Alan made my week/month/year when he sent me the video for the theme song to the HEAVILY ANTICIPATED Snakes on a Plane, coming soon to theatres near you AUGUST 18th!!!!

Cobra Starship’s “Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)”

BEST song EVER! Best song ever for the best MOVIE ever!

JEEZ!

And a Sammy L. cameo! Swoon!

Alan and I watched the video through careful synchronization over the phone last night (”Okay, are you cached yet? Okay, 1… 2… 3… PLAY!” “Oh my god my computer freaked out when Samuel L. Jackson appeared! Stop! Rewind to 2:22!”). Afterwards, as we excitedly discussed the debut of the movie, we debated whether or not this would be the highest grossing film of all time (I think YES Alan thinks UH, PROBABLY NOT). “But everyone I know is OBSESSED with this movie coming out!” I argued, “People are more excited about this than Lord of the Rings! And Star Wars!”

When I woke up this morning, I realized that the only other person who is as obsessed with this movie is Alan. By FAR. No one else I know comes close to the fervor of our anticipation. I somehow sublimated my zeal into mass appeal. But it’s okay. The two of us are excited enough for everyone!

I can’t WAIT until the soundtrack comes out. (There was a contest for soundtrack music, so the track list is comprised of the winners! OTHER FANS WHO LOVE SNAKES AND SAMUEL L. JACKSON AND PLANES!) I thought August 18th was a long time to wait. August 15th is going to be hard to wait for.

Reasons I’m a Bad Person

Filed under: Oops, The Fabulous World of Kiki — 9:06 pm
  • I haven’t checked my voicemail in a month. There’s a strong likelihood that one of my four unheard messages is from a good friend of mine, whose voicemails I ALWAYS listen to too late, but I know for a fact that one of the messages is from an acquaintance that I’m not a huge fan of, and the guilt I feel about not wanting to hear that message outweighs the need to listen to my friend’s message. Sigh.
  • I can’t order anything straight off the menu. I’m way the hell too picky. If I’m ordering a grilled cheese sandwich, I can’t just order a grilled cheese sandwich. I have to ask if there’s any way they could stick a slice of tomato in there. If there’s a veggie burger on the menu, I rejoice, but then I ask if I can order a different burger and substitute the veggie patty so I can vegetarianize it. I can’t even order a damn pop anymore; if the restaurant serves Coke products, I ask them if they can give me half regular, half diet. Sigh.
  • … the list goes on.
