oh, folio

I love the Folio, NE Florida's alternative news source and entertainment guide. Sometimes I'll leave my house on a Tuesday night just to find the Folio, and curl up on the couch to read it cover to cover. The best part is the personals, especially the "I Saw U" section. I can only hope they are real. It makes me so much happier about Jacksonville's sense of humor. Here's a particularly great one from this week:

Mr. BoJangles
You: walking down Beach Blvd. with a friend, Bojangles box in hand. So sexy with your greasy chicken lips. Me: driving and drooling in a Black Lexus. I want you to butter my biscuits. Can I give you a ride?

Seriously? I love it. It reminds me of one of my all-time favorite movies, Ghost World. If you've never seen it, stop what you're doing and NetFlix it immediately! You can thank me later.

The Folio also has horoscopes. Like I've blogged before, I'm not big on horoscopes, but for some reason, this one just hit me. Scorpio, schmorpio ... but it's hauntingly familiar:

The world is once again falling deeply in love with you. Let's hope this time (unlike the last two), you'll accept its adoration in the spirit in which it is given. Let's hope that if the world offers you the moon, the dawn and the breeze, you won't reject these gifts and say what you really wanted was a comet, the sunset and a pie in the sky. There'd be nothing sadder than seeing the world suffer yet another case of unrequited love.

Huh.

I also love the Folio! Oh how I miss J'ville...

Ghost World will go on my NetFlix list as soon as Chris goes back out to sea so he doesn't give me grief for renting a movie he doesn't want to see.

And I like the horoscope. You go, Scorp!

Send me your address; I can ship Folio's to you when Chris is out to sea! But something tells me you'll have another man around to keep you occupied ;)

Ghost World is a MUST!

I'm impressed with my mad crazy cock-blocking skillz! :)

And I swear I will stop posting gross pregnancy things and hopefully only talk about how wonderful it is to have no sleep, a crying baby, and no ability to stop myself from peeing randomly for the first week or so.

Um, I'd like to know if there's really a bojangles in Jacksonville, because I'm coming to visit if there is. Like, this week. mmmm....

The Working Girl said...

Yep. Brand new, right down the road from my house. All the more reason to visit!

YESSSSSS! Spring Break starts on Sunday. You can expect me then.
