Thank you and good night,

August 2, 2011
Today might have been the most mild day of my life.
I woke up at 6am and thought "OH GOD. DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO TO JURY DUTY?!"
Need I say more.
I actually thought it might be worth over $1,000 for being a jury no-show, but alas I am trying to plan a trip to Europe because my mild overseas bff, Kate Hudson (not the actress, though she is also an actress) says "American women are like catnip in Ireland." I mildly believe her.
Anyway, I went to jury duty and the highlight is really this mild summary:
My "business casual" was the floral romper that I accidentally wore Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this past weekend (Whoops) and I only didn't wear it Monday because I was kind of too depressed to get out of my pajamas. But that's another mild story all together. Anyway, in my romper, I lived out my civic duty which included me eating a mini-pizza from yesterday (Mmm-mazing), making googley eyes at this hot potential juror who it kept feeling like I was mildly stalking (I WASN'T!) because on our lunch break and when it was time to go, we both went to our cars which were parked really far away and right next to each other. AWKWARD. I also thought it would be a good idea to bring a REALLY INTENSE DEPRESSING HUNGARIAN BOOK with me to jury duty. Way to make my mind mildly explode. And I quote:
That's right, I just quoted Laszlo Krasznahorkai on Girls Gone Mild. Because seriously, I live in a world where I think reading something called THE MELANCHOLY OF RESISTANCE is going to make me seem more approachable. Sigh.
Anyway, after being relieved after EIGHT HOURS of not doing anything, I took myself to yoga where I got so mildly in tune with my body and emotions, I seriously almost cried during half moon! No comment.
And with my pink yoga mat in hand, I impromptu saw CRAZY STUPID LOVE alone...and paid for it WITH A $10 ROLL OF QUARTERS. I am not joking. The best was that it cost $9.50 so the box office guy had to give me 50 cents back. GENIUS. And lets just say, if you want a theatrical GGM heroine, our favorite sarcastic redhead Emma Stone plays a redheaded lawyer who dumps her boring un-hot lawyer-beau for "THAT SUPER HOT GUY IN THE BAR WHO HIT ON ME ONCE". It's like GGM-pornography. Instead of having sex on the first date, which they intend to, she ends up being the one girl he stays up all night TALKING to. I give it the GGM stamp of approval.
Though my local bff, Kate W. said "I'm never taking movie advice from you again. Every time I see the CRAZY STUPID LOVE billboard, I want to crash my car."
Then I came home and Sage-Smudged my cat.
Mild day of the year or ???

...all normal expectations went by the board and one’s daily habits were disrupted by a sense of ever-spreading all-consuming chaos which rendered the future unpredictable, the past unrecallable and ordinary life so haphazard that people simply assumed that whatever could be imagined might come to pass, that if there were only one door in a building it would no longer open, that wheat would grow head downwards into the earth not out of it, and that, since one could only note the symptoms of disintegration, the reasons for it remaining unfathomable and inconceivable, there was nothing anyone could do except to get a tenacious grip on anything that was still tangible...

Mild vacation, all I ever wanted...
Why hello there, you mild readers.
Let me cast a spell of a mild update on you all:
1. I have a crush on a certifiable MILD MAN. But I can't say much more than that. Trust me, he's a man gone mild.
2. I have decided that Avril Lavigne has officially come out as MILD. Case in point, check out these lyrics:
I was trying to figure out what makes her "wild" in that video and it's pretty mild: pink streak in hair ala Rachel McAdams (and we all know it doesn't get more mild than R-MC), the Victoria's Secret push-up bra (I mean, even my Mom wears those), stealing a Taxi cab and letting it have the trunk wide open (I mean, seriously--is that the best she can do?!)...I think by embracing her need to finally be mild, Avril has seriously showed the world just how mild she really is.
3. Just because:
4. Talk about mild in the best way possible. This record label called CICADELIC has re-issued a re-issue of 1960s Texas girl groups. It's mildly FANTASTIC. Here's a band of teenage sisters taking 60s rock the edge of mild and back again:
So sweet and rocking and I can't help but be excited that the YouTube comments are from some of the band members grandkids saying things like "That's my Grandma up there!" SO MILDLY AMAZING.
5. On Friday night, I was home by 11pm, drunk off of TWO glasses of Sangria and I actually looked up BREVITY in the Dictionary. No joke. GIRLS GONE MILD.
6. If you ever wondered what Girls Gone Mild ON VACATION looks like, you should look no further. Check out this new indie film by Zach Clark:
I think he must read my blog to be able to get inside the head of mild women so well. And if he doesn't, HE REALLY SHOULD.
7. If you were wondering what my new Facebook Profile pic looks like, here you go:
I mean, because nothing says mild like a creepy painting of a baby in a cowboy hat LICKING HIS LIPS. Not only has that painting been in every place I've lived since 2005, I just shot a film where I animated it. True mild love.
8. And just because you haven't seen a photo my elderly cat in awhile:
Have I told you the story about how the other night, I had a gentleman friend over and just as we had our first kiss, Earl (the elderly bane of my existence cat in the above picture) THREW UP as loudly as can be right next to us. Because nothing says mild-girl-romance like CAT BARF. Thanks, Earl.
9. Go here to read a truly inspirational blog post by Kathleen Hanna who talks about her milder than thou teenager years.
10. Oh, you wanna talk about mild? Last Sunday night at this time, I was ALONE watching a FIVE AND A HALF HOUR MOVIE. Uh huh. And by the second intermission, I found myself buying a hot dog only for the concession dude to pass me some relish to which I said:
To which he actually replied:
Yep, more mild than mild. I got dissed by a condiment.
11. One of the most mild Tumblr's I have ever seen:
Bored Life of Movies
Truly genius in it's mild scope.
12. One of my best female friends and I might have had chicken and waffles for breakfast this morning. Mildly DELICIOUS. I actually ordered an EXTRA biscuit and gravy, I was feeling that mmmild.
13. Have I already told you how much I mildly love this dating blog?
SPONGE WORTHY
Also, am I going to reveal my true epitome of mildness if I admit to not knowing if women really still use the sponge anymore? Seriously, is that a REAL thing?!
14. You know what's mild?
KEANU REEVES WRITING POETRY, that's mild.
15. Real excerpt from a gChat between a male friend and I:
me: Is it appropriate for me to ask so-and-so what his birthday is?
guy friend: why not
me: He's going to think I'm doing some sort of spell on him
but really
I JUST WANT TO LOOK IN THE BIG BOOK OF RELATIONSHIPS
(I am mildly insane)
16. A mildly awesome female friend Picture-Messaged me a picture of this book with one of the most mildly awesome titles either of us has heard of in awhile:
Seriously, I'm going to start a book club called MILD MANIA and make that the first thing we read.
Have a nice mild Sunday night,
Cathy
