Starting the Day off Creepy

It was a day like any other. I woke up, hit snooze a few times, and then reluctantly got out of bed. The earlier I start work, the earlier I’m back with my best friend – my couch. But something felt different today, something I just couldn’t identify.

Nevertheless, I got up. I began my morning routing – a bowl of cereal while I watch the local NBC news. For local news, bad jokes, and attractive anchors – go to Local 2 News! Jennifer Reyna, the traffic girl who could make traffic stop with her good looks, was talking about an accident or really clear lanes or whatever it was, she’s too pretty for me to notice.

I thought, “maybe I should tweet that I like kicking off my mornings with Miss (hopefully Miss) Reyna.” But then I realized that would be boring. I thought of a bad joke, “Folgers? Who needs that when you’ve got Reyna.” But no, that was a really bad joke. I wouldn’t do that. But the idea had entered my head … Twitter … Jennifer Reyna … Me …

I had to know! I signed on my computer and searched for her name – what’s this! There IS a Jennifer Reyna on Twitter! I look at the brief description that every Twitter user can create, and this didn’t seem like the standard PR-created byline for a semi-celebrity user of Twitter. The byline said,

“Dedicated to the traffic hottie Jennifer Reyna on Houston’s KPRC Local 2.”

Could it be … Could it be that there are other creepy guys out there who like Jennifer Reyna?! And could it be that one of them is so creepy he has created a Twitter account where he, every day, posts a picture of Jennifer (dear, sweet Jennifer), describes her outfit, and RATES it!?

Yes, I would say there are other creepy guys out there …

“Did I mention that Jen’s secret power is the ability to make brown look good? It’s freaky! Rating: 9.5”

Favorites from Free Press Summer Fest

My Favorite Group

(and yes the main singer has a haircut like the villain from the 5th Element)

Airplane’s Favorite

Juicebox’s Favorite

Rainbow Speak’s Favorite

I may have the favorites wrong … two of them said the same band, and that’s just no fun. One more band we didn’t see, but I like this song and look at those silly bearded canoe-lovers.

Bonus (because this post is easy)

The Power of the Lederhosen

This past weekend I went to Houston’s Free Press Summer Fest! It was a blast. I’m going to end up with a number of posts about this, but I’ll start with a dumb/fun one (see what I did there?). Juicebox and I bought really nice lederhosen last September at Oktoberfest … so we decided to unveil the beautiful clothes for the summerfest. Because why not?

Juicebox and I were standing around and a guy walking through has a t-shirt on that has a design as though it IS lederhosen. So we all stare at each other and nod and say all right. A few hours later we ran into each other again and nod at each other like we’ve all just said something really intelligent.
