Ha.
Although I was perfectly annoyed at the time, I can’t help but laugh recalling it now. Yesterday we’re in the car, my honey & me, driving to God knows where for the millionth time and a song comes on the radio.

him: “Is this Jewel?”

me: “No, it’s Sarah McLachlan.”

him: “Oh. She’s hot.”

~pause~

him: “I used to yank off to her.” [insert sheepish grin here]

me: (rolling my eyes at the thought–he DOES say shit like this all the time—even said it about that hot-tempered redhead Latina Judge on TV. Ah, well, boys will be boys. Hmm…see if I can change the subject…)

me: (hastily), “I have her last CD. This song’s on it. I like it.”
“Ugh,” I think to myself, “…that’s not going to work. I can feel it.”

him: “Does it have a picture of her on it?”

me: “Yeah.”

~pause~

him: “Can I borrow it?”

me: (grunting), “NO.”

[insert soft chuckling on his side of the car here]

Men. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em. Gotta love ‘em. Simple creatures that they are.

Um.

Yeah.

I got a job.

Noooo…it’s just a position at a security company doing phone sales. Am still holding out for better opportunity and some days are a killer. Nonetheless, I’m glad to have it. It is helping out quite a bit.

Am planning surprise party for a relative this weekend. Should be fun. Flying down another relative from Maui who’s attending, and we are putting up in my bedroom for the weekend. Whew. Details not quite all worked out yet, as tickets are on standby. Even more fun.

Very excited though, for entire weekend. Launching new adult site with fiance in two days. Ought to be a total blast. Will be keeping all involved posted as to the developments.

Am declining invitation from my friends Deb & Scott to go with them to Vegas in two weeks. Instead am planning to go with fiance and his folks in April. Can’t wait….

On a more local note, Jish asked me to say ‘hi’ to my webloggers webring very special blog neighbors.

So, HI, NEIGHBORS!!

Gotta go….adult site awaits. CGI scripting has never been this fun. Or seXXXy.

BRITNEY SPEARS NAKED!
That got your attention, didn’t it? Indeed. ‘Tis true though…if you’ve been living under a rock since Monday night, then you don’t already know that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) recently announced that pop star Britney Spears has agreed to pose nude for an upcoming PETA advertisement as part of their SAME, stale, LAME “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” poster-child style campaign.

I’m not sure though whether this is supposed to be some ridiculously easy community service-style punishment (rather than an admission of guilt for being STUPID) for her recent September performance. The mention in the above article of PETA’s initial issue with Ms. Spears, provides the reader with a (not surprisingly) sugary-fairy-dust, pleasantly PC aftertaste, rather than a ‘bitchfest’ feeling to the reader (of COURSE I prefer the latter!). Yes, I’m referring to the past “Catfight”, so to speak, wherein PETA publicy touted Ms. Spears as being cruel to animals by having a caged tiger on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards this fall. I myself am finding it hard to believe that Ms. Spears had not said something personally, on her own behelf to PETA, either in her own defense for the stage act, or to apologize, publicly proclaim her infinite wealth of stupidity (still waiting for that day, ha!), etc. If she really is ALL FOR anti-cruelty, then how could she allow the September show to go on as it did? Her press people sent a letter to PETA saying that Ms. Spears future performances will ban using animals while on tour.

“It’s very exciting news,” said PETA mouthpiece Dan Mathews. “We are really thrilled to have Britney join our new crop of fur-fighters.” This only happened after Spears was sent a letter from PETA representatives, begging her to realize that animals shouldn’t be exposed to crowds, loud noises and bright lights because it’s frightening to them. Matthews tells the media, “She took our message to heart. There’s so many different animal issues, and you can’t expect that everyone is born Ghandi. We think Britney has set a great example of someone who listened to what we had to say and made a change.” Right. Not everyone is a born Ghandi. But at least we all have half a brain to re-think what she did back in September, before it was done. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it. M-hmm.

P.S. – For all you drooling, undersexed-and-whacking-off losers who visited this page because of the headliner, NO, I don’t think she will be exposing her frontal naked self, it’s probably just her back. Go back to the porn sites.

Oh, and uh, Britney idolizers…don’t hold your collective breaths. Bring on the hatemail. I love it. Better yet, link to this article on your pink, teen-angsty, “I-love-Fred-Durst-and-hate-this-boy-in-homeroom-that-I-have-a-crush-on-by-golly-and-my-parents-just-don’t-get-anything-my-life-sucks” web site, and rant away. You’re sooo cute when you get mad.

• Partially Unemployed, Day 2 – 2000

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday…

About a year ago, I placed a personal ad with a site called One And Only, and forgot to pull it down. I forgot all about it until I got an e-mail yesterday. It was a response to that ad. Anyway, about two years ago I had gotten alot of responses to a similar ad, which I placed through Excite Personals. This was a loooong time ago. I found that alot of the responses I got were extremely bad and/or silly, so I was inspired to share them online with my readers. I have recently added yesterday’s e-mail to this list of ‘Responses from Hell’ and here it is. Enjoy.

Oh, and if you don’t hear from me before then, have a Happy New Year and don’t over indulge and drive. It’s a bad, bad, bad thing )

• Honk if you love chee-tos – 2000

Well everyone, it’s 01/01/01. Bet you never thought it would be that cool to write a date, but it is. I’m easily entertained, can you tell?

Well, last night I went to my mom’s house. This year was the first time in a long time that I didn’t go to an actual party. Me, my sis and her hubby and a couple of our friends all drank and played games and ate lots of junk. We let my nephew stay up late…that was kind of a mistake, since he was really cranky. Then he found out one of our other friends wasn’t coming, and he cried. Nonetheless, a fairly fun time was had by all, everyone else got drunker than me, but I was the one with the headache this morning. Go figure.

Things that suck

-Papa Roach

-the Trojan condom commercials

-MTV, thinking they’re cool by re-broadcasting their lame-ass New Years eve show

-the runny stuff that comes out before the mustard, no matter how damn long you shake the bottle before you squeeze it. That really sucks because it makes stuff soggy.

-trying to pound a nail in the wall, only to crack it, cause it’s an old plaster-pour wall and you have to find the stud. Grrrr.

-people who buy shit that they don’t even need.

-Xzibit, cause he wears a shirt that says “Fuck Napster”. Fuck him. Last night he did a cover of Public Enemy’s ‘Fight The Power’. For what? So that the kids in the audience at that show can appreciate it? 80% of those kids were crapping in their diapers when PE did that shit.

Something else I need to get off my chest, add to this list of things that suck:
-people who call themselves emo, are into emo, or put up entire websites devoted to emo. emo is a just plain stupid ass name for shitty noisy stage drama, kids passing themselves off as the ‘new punk’ rockers.

WTF? Why can’t you just enjoy and play rock n’ roll and leave it at that? Do you have to feel like you need to separate yourself from it? God forbid you might have to share something with generations upon generations of other people, be part of something larger than your lame-ass, screaming, patchouli-wearing, “I hate everyone who isn’t vegan, I’m 18 and I have a garage band and we wear greg brady clothes and don’t know how to sing but look at OUR AMPS!” clique.

I listen to nearly everything, but because I ENJOY it, not because it is categorized somehow, or associated with some THING I either like it or I don’t and that’s THAT. I don’t know what the fuck it is, if I like it I will get the cd and I don’t care about anything beyond that. If it’s melodic or catchy, makes me move or stirs my soul or makes me want to sing, that’s all that matters.
gonna go get my laundry out of the dryer now, and go to bed.

g’nite

• Oh! Guess what? I met the screamer tonight – 2005

Been working alot, 12 hour days sometimes. You’ll get over it…

The other day I was taking the Minneapolis bus home from work and this scruffy lookin’ (for lack of a better description) guy was sitting next to me, listening to his walkman, as was I. I couldn’t help but notice that he was really getting INTO whatever song he was listening to, and after a moment or two, I had weird hunch that he and I were listening to the same station. Gun’s N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was playing on my radio and I was kinda tappin’ my thumbs on my bookbag. He caught a glance at me, and he was kind of in synch to my tapping rhythm. He was doing that lame-ass air guitar thing with his hands and nodding his head. For a second, we both looked at each other and kind of both nodded our heads along in synch to our music.

The song got done playing on my radio. So I elbow the dude lightly, in his ribs after it was done. He moved his earpiece and looks at me. I said “GNR, eh?”, to which he replied, “naw…Thin Lizzy, man, they rock!”. So I was like okay, hmmm, whatever. This dude is weird. Not that there’s anything wrong with Thin Lizzy, it was the dude. He had this uncanny Tommy Chong quality that was eerie and sort of gross, which I didn’t really notice at first. I blew him off and went back to looking out my window. After a minute, he stole a glance my way, so I turned abrubtly, on purpose, to see just what the fuck he was lookin’ at. He had this shit-eating grin on his face, like he was flirting with me and I was supposed to be charmed. Whatever!

I gave him a look that told him to piss off and we all went back to our silly anti-social ride, back to ignoring each other like everyone else does, the way you’re SUPPOSED to behave on the bus.

Okay well I’ve got to work again in the morning, at nine. We get free bagels and coffee on Saturdays, yippee! At least SOMEONE feeds me…my cuboard is BARE )o:

Nitey nite…

• Top 20 ways to tell someone their fly is unzipped – 2000

Why do I even bother to shower when I get stuck two days in a row working in the basement doing package receiving? my nails are filthy and my skin feels nasty, that gritty feel you get from working in a dirty basement. not like the dirty you get from gardening or yard work. that’s just soil. this is gritty, crappy, dusty, grime from boxes being knocked around on numerous dirty truck floors and mailrooms and then to me. Ick.

Today I woke up just a few minutes late and didn’t want to get out of bed.  So I went and sat on the couch w/my favorite fleece blanket, got some coffee and watched some t.v. before I had to get dressed and go.  These goofballs on the early morning news shows must really have no idea how silly they are. I especially like this weather guy, him with his goofy sound effects and crusty old stupid one liners.  He practically needs a hi-hat & drum to go ”ba-dum bum!” after his own punch lines. What a dork.

This weekend was a crock. I didn’t do too much on Friday and Saturday except get some errands done. If I could do it again, I’d have spent more time on the couch w/my blanket and the Cartoon Network.

On Sunday I went shopping with my mom, which was pleasant enough, and then later I went to my folks’ house so I could get her to check over my tax forms and in return I would help her w/her computer. she has access to the web now and needs me to install the browsers for her system but I told her that before she does any of that she has got to get a memory upgrade, back up her HD and then compress it so she can get the most out of the web. the memory on that sucker is very low anyway so I can’t see her enjoying any of it if her pc crashes while she is trying to look at a web page or do her banking online.

Damn, get me OUT of this office….phew. the smell is near unbearable, plus it’s so nasty down here cause that dirty dust gets into your lungs and you feel like hawking up a hella loogie.  Or is it loogy? how the hell do you spell that word, anyway?

Why is it that some people who display their art or literature on the www or are big tech heads are such snobs about how they work their site or their craft?? what is THAT all about? I understand that there are certain elements of design that should be followed to the ‘T’ if you are trying to draw lots of visitors to your site or if the main point of the site is to be aesthetically pleasing but come ON already. that’s all I had to say on that topic, I just had to get it off my chest.

Three things I know for a fact:

1) Diet Dr. Pepper *does* taste just like regular

2) Upright Citizens Brigade is fabulous television

3) Ally McBeal is not.

Okay, I gotta go, I just found out that the smell I’ve been smelling is probably spilled antifreeze down here so I need to go get some air and get ready to go home.

#@$shot planet
Um. I almost had no comment for this one but I’m tempted to guess whether this is a new restaurant or something? *sports confused look*

O.K. The next one has got to be THE contender for the top weirdest search result that leads to this site:

Shatner and Who Let the Dogs Out
makes me wonder just what this person was really looking for. Did they suppose that Cap’n Kirk was going to be trying on a more ‘hip’ song for his lame-ass Priceline spokesperson spots? Or were they just too lazy to do two separate searches for each? Plus, who would really CARE to read anything about either topic?! It just shows you that there’s no accounting for taste.

Speaking of indigestion…
Every once in a while, I get some really strange e-mails in my inbox, but this one takes the cake. Not only has someone apparently has mistaken me for someone called Tia, WRONG! …but he or she thinks I’ve got some sort of hankering for transsexuals/hermaphrodites/whatever you want to call this THING., to boot.

LEGO RAVE!
your parents DON’T put it together for you. Link courtesy of slimgirl, who rocks, hard. Hooks me up with free stuff, too. Go visit her page and bask in its glory. Don’t get too comfy with the design, however…she likes to switch it up. Alot. Go Susie!
