My Last Hundred Bucks: Rum, Sorbet, and Burlesque
$100! It is a lot of money, and yet, it is also not a lot of money at all. Where did your last hundred bucks go, Marion Johnson?
$27.49: A bottle of Kraken spiced rum, to make delicious dark & stormies/spike my chai with
$5: Transcript fee from college, so they’ll send my transcript to my grad school
$ 17.30: Wine, lemonade, ciabatta, frozen peas, mango sorbet, and fresh mozzarella from Whole Foods. Shockingly, the mango sorbet was the most expensive thing, at $4.99
$12.18: Memphis barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, and arborio rice from Harris Teeter
$10.18: Finished out a long week with a salmon bento box from Teaism.
$10: One ticket to Whedonism!, a Joss Whedon-themed burlesque show at Red Palace
$5: Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold at Whedonism!
$15.09: Drunken noodles, edamame, and tip at a “welcome interns” lunch, at Banana Leaves. (Their website has a tiny dancing banana on it. The little guy is killin it.)
Marion Johnson works in D.C., talks about pop culture on Blogger, and lives on Tumblr















“A Joss Whedon themed burlesque” I always love it when the world turns out to be just a little bit more magical, whimsical, and frankly all-around awesome than I expect. just the fact that this exists in our world makes me happy.
it’s happened: i am now officially One of Those People who is registering just to say: TEAISM! 9 times out of 10 there is no good reason not to go to teaism.
(also: what are dark and stormies? they sound delicious?)
@deutscheswortfür_chickpea Dark rum, ginger beer, & lime. I can confirm deliciousness.
Telling everyone about Dark and Stormies
Why hasn’t Logan told us about her weekend yet?!?!
My last 100 days at sea: rum, sodomy, and the lash.
