My days. My nights. My life. Lived well.

This is a classic YouTube favorite of mine (and Rob’s). We ask each other questions in this voice all the time while tilting our heads.

I’m off to meet Rob on an independent movie shoot. I’m going to do some photos from the set. It’s super hot in Indy today, and they’re shooting outside.

So, I said I was going to try to blog each day in April, and well, here I am. I really wasn’t lying about that. There’s a lot of stuff that happens in my life or that I see that probably doesn’t deserve a full blog post, which is where Facebook and Twitter fit in.  Anyway, Rob always says I should do a food blog. I don’t know about that, but I do have strong opinions about food things. I wish I didn’t, but I do.

This March I was extremely disappointed for a few days when I kept trying to score a Shamrock Shake.  I tweeted all about it. I know I’m not the only person that thinks they are an awesome seasonal treat. Plus, Rob and/or I have been sick for the last month on and off, so there was only like a 3-day window where I actually wanted to eat dairy and wouldn’t be concerned with producing extra mucus. My throat was still sore and the Shamrock Shake was ideal! So, what gives with the Indianapolis McDonald’s not carrying them?  Is this one of those regional things? Sometimes, Rob makes me feel like I come from a foreign country, even though I’m just from 3 hours north. It probably doesn’t help that I consider anything south of Kokomo to be southern Indiana.

I went to 3 different McDonald’s in 2 days until I gave up after seeing someone’s Facebook status that the Indy region franchisees voted not to participate. Boo! Apparently though, if I had trekked over to the 71st and Michigan Rd. McDonald’s I could have had one. How did I find that out, you ask? Well, der, I just went to ShamrockShake.com (web 2.0 at its finest) and you can input your location to find Shamrock Shakes. Obviously, at most McD’s Shamrock Shakes are gone by the end of March- if not gone within days after St. Patrick’s Day- so you’ll have to wait until next year. Yeah, too bad I just found that site tonight.

Apparently, I’ll have to hang on he Northwest side next year or make the trek up to the Bend where Shamrock Shakes are abundant. Luckily, I have many reasons to go up there! Anyway, this concludes today’s episode of This Is Why I’m Fat- I mean Kristen Blogs for 30 Days: Maybe Not Quality, but at least you’ll get one.

Here’s a link to an Onion AV Club Round-Up of a bunch of All-Star Charity Singles.  Some you may remember, some you may not. I didn’t remember the Hearin’ Aid one with all the metal dudes. The best thing about “Stars” is that they have lower-third graphics that tell you who you are watching sing or play the solos. That’s brilliant considering on a lot of these I watch and I’m like, “Who is that?” because some of the “stars” recruited to sing on these tracks are flash-in-the-pan, hot-at-the-moment peeps.

And here’s one that I participated in- Hands Across America.  Boy, everyone participated- Mickey Mouse, C3PO, Andy Warhol (!), Oprah before she was OPRAH… 

And here’s the Sean Lennon/Peace Choir 1991 “Give Peace a Chance” from when we went to war in Iraq the first time. Funny how a lot of the stuff people are “talkin’ bout” are things people are still talkin’ bout. It’s kind of weird. And kind of sad. You’d think we would have come further in 17 years.

I will spend St. Patty’s Day purging my closet I think.  I need to strike while the iron is hot and get rid of some of this stuff while I don’t feel attached to it. Usually Mary and I hit the Claddagh starting at like 10:30 and then drink all day, but maybe next year.For St. Patty’s Day, I thought I would share a classic internet phenomenon- the leprechaun in Mobile, AL.  I will spare you and only share one remix though. 

But I guess they’re not that bad if they get stuck in your head easy. LOL.
