news for a Wednesday morning
This morning, my exam dates finally got confirmed! Woot.
I know this announcement is belated, but my cousin had a beautiful baby girl last week.
And finally . . . I just overheard my roommate's boyfriend's mom describe my couch as "butt ugly." (Specifically, "the butt-ugliest.") That is remarkably accurate.
I would try to describe the couch to you, but I can't remember the term for the 80's t-shirt art process in which one would place dabs of puffy paint on a t-shirt in a kind of vague design and then spin the shirt around very fast in a special t-shirt spinning machine. (Anyone?...) Because my couch looks like it has been through that kind of process, and then put through another, very special secondary process involving years of wear and dust and food stains. I've never really seen a couch like it.
Then again, I purchased it from another grad student for only $20, and it's super comfy, so I don't care.

of course your hippy, tree-hugging sister knows: tie-dye!
I thought it was tie-die too, at first. But i don't remember any puffy paint or spinning involved in tie-die. I just twisted a shirt up, put rubber bands around it, and dunked it in coloring.not that i have ever tie-died. . .
Anyway, the tags were great! when are you ever going to tag anything "the butt-ugliest" ever again? hilarious.
No, it's not tie-dye, it's that...spin-art stuff we did in Brownies. We took a field trip to this place by the bowling alley that was really crowded at the time and then out of business the next year. I can't remember what it was called.
Anyway, on second thought, I think my couch looks MORE like it's been colored in first with a layer of purple, blue and pink crayons, then covered in a layer of black, and then scratched out with a pin in swirly designs. Remember doing that in elementary school?
Either way, it's swirly and 80's-ish and pretty ugly. :)
Never thought about the declension of "butt-ugly" before. I guess if it's generally uglier, you can do "butt-uglier," "butt-ugliest." But if item 2 is more like a butt than item 1, and therefore uglier, do you have to say "butter-ugly"?
Adam, well, yes, I suppose it is the buttiest-ugly couch out there!
I also think that Butter Ugly would make a cool band name.
