Who has a clean apartment? Oh, it's me.
I know, I'm lame.
Lots of weird high school reunion fun last night. Weird. Fun.

By popular demand, I am posting the "Arizona Barbies" bulletin that I saw on MySpace
Barbie Dolls
Mattel recently announced the release of Limited-Edition Barbie dolls for the Arizona market:
Scottsdale Barbie:
This princess Barbie is only sold at Scottsdale Fashion Center. She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign lapdog named Honey, and a semi-custom dream house with a saguaro Cactus in front. Available with or without tummy tuck and facelift. Workaholic ex-husband Ken comes with squeeze-me Skipper and a Ferrari.
Chandler Barbie:
This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar minivan and matching gym suit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation or secondary education. Traffic-jamming cell phone sold separately. Can swear in English or Spanish. Available at Target.
Apache Junction Barbie:
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, bowie knife, a 78 El Camino with dark tinted windows, and a meth-lab kit. This model is only available after dark and can only be bought with cash, preferably small bills, unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.
Ahwatukee Barbie:
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or HummerH2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card set, and Country Club membership. Also available are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. Ahwatukee Barbie hasn't been affordable since the early 80's.
Mesa Barbie:
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a classic Metallica shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. Wants to major in NASCAR at MCC. She has a six-pack of Coors Light and a Hank Williams, Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's ass when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free. Available at Ross.
El Mirage Barbie:
This tobacco chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own
high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gut Ken out of Mesa Barbie's (discontinued) house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, strawberry lip-gloss, and a
see through halter-top. Comes with Barbie's dream doublewide trailer. Available at Wal-Mart. Cheap.
Sedona Barbie:
This collagen injected, rhinoplastic Barbie wears leopard print spandex, and drinks cosmopolitans to new age music with friends at the lodge. She's into crystals. Comes with Percocet prescription and two alimony checks. Also cheap.
Phoenix Barbie:
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional
accessories include a G.E.D. and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his '79 Caddy where available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
Flagstaff Barbie:
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair,
archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her "Willow." She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Flagstaff Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon,you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.
Gilbert Barbie:
Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion and is perfect in every way. We don't know who Ken is because he's always away hunting or in Japan on business. Gilbert Barbie aspires to become Scottsdale Barbie. Not cheap, but still very naive.
Tucson Barbie:
Into basketball and marijuana. Dropped out of PCC. Does nothing but complain about Phoenix Barbie.
Guadalupe Barbie:
This Spanish-speaking-only Barbie comes with a 1984 Toyota with expired temporary plates and three babies in the back, without car seats. This is the only Barbie who is willing to do manual labor. Ken comes in a meat-packer's uniform and is missing three fingers on his left hand. Green cards are not yet available for Guadalupe Barbie or Ken. Available at Food City.
Van Buren Barbie/Ken:
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the "snap-on" parts.
Sun City Barbie/Ken:
These dolls are going fast! Well, what we mean is they're old and don't have much time left. Both write checks for everything or pay in change, and can provide hours of endless repetitive conversation about "The good ol' days." Drives a golf cart, signals right to turn left. Can be seen in Barbie Grocery Store (sold separately) arguing over prices. Available at the doctor's office.

Apparently upper respiratory infections can turn into corneal infections in the eye. That sucks. Just when you think that you're getting better, bam! Eyes are infected! Suck on that!
So I got my license plate today, that's pretty exciting.
Rock climbing was super fun. I tagged along with Justin and his friends on a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. I will post pictures soon. I climbed my first wall, and then proceeded to cry almost the entire way back down because I had to go backwards and balance my weight in a really scary way. For a few moments, I contemplated living on the top of that rock for a while. It would have been a good life, nothing is like life at the top of a rock in a beautiful national park.
