Ooh, ooh! I also forgot to tell you–Uffish Thoughts is where I found a link to Mr. T doing his neato butter booby trick. Yay! What a treasure…and I thought I’d seen every bit of his work!

If you idolize Mr. T like I do, then you ought to get yourself acquainted with all his ultra-super celebrity appearances articles on the web. I’m sure you can find some of them to be of utmost importance, if not pretty valuable:

The Mr. T. Name Generator – Don’t like your name, fool? Get a betta one!

The T’inator – Turn any web page into a helluva fine site that Mr. T published it (those who don’t approve of Mr. T’s genuine, loveable charm would use the word ‘invaded’ instead of published)

How To Hide The Fact That You’re Mr. T. From Your Co-Workers – Who’d want to hide that jibba jabba?

Today as I’m reading the news I do a little jig of joy on the way to the kitchen to get a 2nd cup of coffee. James and I have finished our business model and are working on marketing strategies. The beginning has been nothing but a headache for us since Christmas. Now we’re moving along nicely and I can’t wait for us to start getting some projects in. I’m also reading up on this particular piece (pertaining to the Supreme Court ruling which I mentioned in last week’s news).

Anyhoo, I’ve found two really neato sites today, completely stumpled upon them by accident:
Uffish Thoughts
Get Sporked

Please go and read them…tell them I sent you, will ya?

Why Do Porn Actors Have To Use Such Foul Language?

Maggie Lehman, a fine source of editorial commentary over at The Onion, once again proves herself correct. She points out “Like many people, I enjoy pornographic movies.” but she’s got an issue with bad language. “Thankfully, my husband Marv fast-forwards through the plot so we don’t have to hear any more vulgarity than is absolutely necessary.” Good for you Maggie, good for you.

UGh. It took me over twenty minutes to post this day’s entries. Blogger publishing seems to be slow, or down. I checked status.blogger.com and there’s nothing there to tell me any different, and also status.blogspot.com, and no news there, which leaves me to use the Adminimizer toolbar from ASP Modules. If you don’t have it yet, GET IT. It’s easy to install, and although mine leaves my date header looking kinda funny (it lines up weirdly), I do find it comes in handy when you really need to post something on the days when Blogger is for shit.

Napping. It’s not just for kids and lazy people anymore.
The tradition of napping in other countries is supposedly dying out. It’s been proven be a healthful and refreshing and even life-extending benefit to notable folks like Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Napolean Bonaparte, Johannes Brahms, and Ronald Reagan, so why didn’t Americans ever emphasize the need for one? Is our society afraid of being called lazy? Just because we need a little break? You decide.

New Audio CD’s on the Market Will Not Play on CD-ROM Devices
In the near future, a large amount of new audio CD’s released by recording artists will not play properly in your computer’s CD-ROM player. Why? Because, a-la Napster, once again, it’s a battle of copyrights. Sony figures that people who will play a band’s audio CD in a CD-ROM player, are most likely to also be the ones ripping and trading the songs for free to others, and thus encouraging pirating the music without paying for it. With that in mind, they’ve gone and encoded the redbook audio to play well only in traditional home and car CD audio components, but terribly in computer CD and CD-ROM devices. I know because I saw this on the news. They took Celine Dion’s new CD (Couldn’t they have picked ANYONE ELSE?!), which was known to have used this new technology, and put it into a CD-ROM device to play. The resulting sounds were very skippy, and staticy at best, otherwise it sounded as though you had taken 2 hits of LSD, and were listening to whales singing in a bad gospel church choir.

Fox TV Cancels ‘Ally McBeal’
I don’t know where I was when this hit the news, ’cause I missed it. Had I known, I’d have baked a cake and threw a party. You all know how much I loathe this show, this waste of an hour of someone’s precious time, so you know of course how elated I am to hear this. I was gravely saddened however, upon learning that this absurdity of TV had insidiously reached its 100 episode-mark earlier this winter. This is horrific to me because everyone knows once a show has reached this point, it’s going to be syndicated. Thrown back at us over and over and over again like some sort of nasty broken record. So for me the news is bittersweet. Oh well. I suppose I could try and get over it.

Well, in the last two weeks here in Minnesota, it has snowed, rained & hailed, and we’ve had record breaking high temps. Monday it got to 93 degrees! WTF?! The weather here is unbearable, and moody as fuck. It’s like Sybil, complete with 27 personalities. I can’t complain that much about Monday since I refuse to get my air conditioner from downstairs and install it, since I don’t think I’ll be here past June. Last night the thunderstorm woke most people in the Twin Cities metro, it was very loud and it seemed to go and then come back several times during the wee hours of the morning.

Our lack of fun activities lately has gotten me down. Well, when SuperCross came to town, we planned to go and missed it. Then the last Monster Truck rally came and we really wanted to go and didn’t. Now the World of Wheels has come and gone. My fiancee is the BIGGEST procrastinator. I thought I was the worst. No. It’s him. We plan and plan and plan and discuss and….nothing.
I even get INTO the shower, get dressed, get ALL BUT READY to walk out the door, and he says I don’t feel like it….maybe next time around. This is getting to be really annoying. Especially when friends and family want us to be in with their plans amd we tell them, “Oh, we can’t come, we’re going to the car show that day.” And then we can’t join them because it’s too late. I’ll admit I’m a big lazy fool too, but it’s mostly him, and aside from beating him upside the head, what I do to help alleviate this problem? Who knows. I’ll think about it later.

On the bright side, tomorrow James and I are going down south to my mom’s lake resort spot and help build her deck. It should be fun, provided the weather is nice. Today it’s nice and Springy. I don’t think it’s more than 70 out right now but it’s feelin’ pretty good. I’ve got all my windows open and I’m getting ready to do some hefty spring cleaning before my friend comes over. I’m teaching her a few software programs, just covering the basics. Right now I’m trying to find a few good online tutorials I can refer her to for when she wants to do more stuff later.

What’s with Christina Appelgate lately? Didn’t she used to be much better looking? I think now that she’s off TV and into being a movie star again, she’s on that popular Hollywood diet, called SMOKE & COKE. Ladies, when we can see your rib bones between your breasts, it’s NOT sexy. At least to my fiancee, who was thinking this outloud to me the other night. Haha

Jennifer and Brad pregnant? Good for them. Hope they lay off the SMOKE & COKE now. At least ’til the brat’s born.

And what happened to http://www.riotgrrl.com? Did they get shut down? I used to love reading that site and then I found out that a link I had to one of their articles was bad. On further investigation, I find it’s gone. They had my favorite morph pic game there, called “Feed The Supermodel”. There was a pic every week of some sorry-ass skinny chick who looked like she needed a sandwich, and STAT. You could feed her food to make it all better. Do you remember it?

A note to all would-be online auctioneers:Folks, if you’re going to be selling something that would be used for drinking fluids out of, please take the time to either put some clothing on before taking a picture, or else concentrate on selling the non-reflective items in your kitchen. Thank you.

Microcontent News’ John Hiler wrote this article talking about blogging & journalism. In it he points out bloggers as being amateur journalists, because he considers us bloggers to be “…inherently biased and unedited.” True enough. To my credit, I’ve never claimed to be edited, unbiased in my blogging, or even promote myself as a valued news source. This is just my little sick idea of fun, this ranting and raving about my personal life and scattering news articles and commentary hither and yon. However, must us bloggers follow a Blogging Code of Ethics?. Hmm. Well, professional journalists have to. In it, there are itemized standards under major subheadings which outline ways journalists are to behave, some of which include several things that I see some bloggers do, and alot which we don’t.

I shall say that I have found some bloggers to be followers of some of these principles, blogging somewhat responsibly. Such bloggers seek out truth in subjects of news stories, give credit to their sources (I see some bloggers do this but not all…), separate and point out particular content as news, and other content as being commentary, (don’t misrepresent) and also encourage public discussions about your published topics (even opposing ones). I think that to be true to our ‘amateuristic’ ways, though, that we remain somewhat oblivious to alot of ‘standards’ when it comes to blogging. Almost all of the parts above, which I picked out of the SPJ code, are (IMHO) not all that commonplace in the average blog. Right? Right. What do you think?

YEAH I GOT THIS LINK FROM METAFILTER, BEEYATCH! Admit it, you get your shit from that site, too.

OMG…too funny! Out of the many thousands of messages left on The Queen Mum’s Board of Remembrance these are just to good to have been made up:

“She was a marvelous woman, and a wonderful lover”. L.J.Worthington,Penrith.

“Once again the Queen is not upset enough for my liking, the woman should have a bit more compassion, how would she feel if it was her mother?” W. Waugh, Richmond.

“I have been unable to masturbate for five days, and will not do so again until her majesty is buried” E. Gorman, Derbyshire.

“When Diana died I swore I would never smile again, but eventually I did. Now the Queen Mum has gone I cannot imagine that I will ever smile for the rest of my life, but I will probably break that one too”. A.Christie,Hendon.

“She was one of the old school, all the remaining royals are shit” J.Clement. Grantham.

“I thought she would never die, she has let us all down very badly” D.Holmes, Somerset.

“She was a trooper and she never gave up. I remember one time she was visiting a school and I asked her if she would like to make a visit to the cloakroom before she left. ‘No’ she replied, ‘I didn’t give in to the Nazis and I won’t give in to the bladder’. That’s how she was, a fighter, who refused to be beaten by anything. She pissed herself later though, it was sickening”. B. Forrester, North Yorkshire.

“I am absolutely devastated, at least we could have got the day off”. S.Wilson, Bristol.

“How refreshing to be able to mourn the death of a member of the Royal family without being accused of being homosexual”. J. Fletcher, High Wycombe.

“Her death should act as a warning to others who think it is cool to experiment with drugs”. E. Franks, Cheshire.

“On behalf on all blacks, I send the sincerest condolences”. T.Watson, Ilford.

“I am sure the Queen Mum will not let this setback put an end to her public duties”. N. Wallace, Swansea.

“I hold Princess Margaret in no small way responsible for this terrible event” E. Thompson, West Lothian.

“We must do all we can, send blankets, food parcels,
jumpers, anything to help these brave souls who are queuing up to walk past her coffin”. R. Thompson, Bath.

“Whichever way you look at it, it just is not as exciting as Diana”. G.Williams, West Midlands.

“She was one of us, and by that I don’t mean she perpetrated insurance fraud or lied about expense claims. She was like us in a good way. God bless you ma’am”. L. Weller, Harlow.

“If only I could get my hands on that fish bone right now, you heartless bastard!” J. Hedges, Cowdenbeath.

“She had such a difficult life, always battling against adversity and misfortune. Let us hope that if there is a next time round she is given a life of privilege and comfort” T.D.Wainwright, Hastings.

“Perhaps if we automated her old golf buggy it could still drive around The Mall on its own and bring pleasure to the tourists”. Y. Howell, Slough.

Good morning.  This is my first entry using the Adminimizer toolbar.  At first I was scared of it but now I see it just needs a little tweaking.  We’ll see what happens next.  So far, I love it.  I saw an error in a blog entry and now I’m going to go fix it.  Later, taters!

I’m always forgetting to link to blogdex! I get most of my news stories and fun links from it. I’ll remember to put them in my sidebar one of these days.

Entertainment links:
If you liked the video,

The Big Lebowski: The Making of a Cohen Brothers’ Film as much as I did, or if you just liked The Big Lebowski alot, then you’re in for a treat. The Incredible World of Bowling Noir takes you through a diatribe about how film noir and bowling could be combined to produce lovely results. Run, don’t walk. It’s fun for the whole family.

Can you believe this…someone actually implanted a miniature webserver into a housefly. It claims it’s capable of running an entire standard web server. Wow. Some people really do have lots of time on their hands.

Eatmail.tv – commercials and media clips on the web – I must’ve been living under a rock FOREVER because I never noticed this site before. Damn! The site is a bit more Flash-y than I’d like…I’m kind of a purist in that regard. Plus with this 56k connection, I can only endure so much. If you want to see any clips, you must become a member. Be warned, however, the membership application is a series of pop-culture riddles and trivia questions a la ‘You Don’t Know Jack’ style. I should get a prize for getting all the answers right!

Business news: Lee introduces bare-bottom jeans, Film at eleven. [from cameron] At first glance, I thought this article was a leftover remnant from all the April Fool’s pranking people did on the web this last week.

I’ve noticed that I’ve been neglecting to let you in on my musical tastes. What better way than to use the oh-so-clever Winamp-generated playlist thingie feature and paste the info here! (I’m so bright! it’s a wonder I’m able to remember to breathe all day long):

I can clearly see how I could be mistaken for Whitesnake, since we both share the same endearing qualities. However, I’m not sure about being a big hit with the ladies, since I don’t go that way (though most of my mom’s old lady friends adore me–I’m sure it’s not the same thing they meant here!).

I am 48% worshipable! And you? Find out!

Today is Sunday. I feel like I missed all of Saturday. It was definitely a lazy day, James and I really didn’t do a whole lot. You know once in while you have those days where you really don’t move much from the couch? Well yesterday that was us. Which is weird because I really wanted to get out , get up, and get stuff done. Not important stuff! Anyway, I live for Saturdays. Here in Minnesota it’s been about 40-45 degrees (which to us is kinda warm!) pretty much the whole weekend. I can’t wait for it to be spring soon, so we can go out and do more stuff on weekends (and avoid sitting around too much like it’s easy to do in Winter). Anyhoo, although I want to forget about most of it, here’s a recap of my week:

Monday I worked on looking for another job, and talked to a woman at the Legal Secretaries’ Registry in Minneapolis for a bit, about some positions she had available. I also had to work that night, so the day went by pretty quickly.

Tuesday, my mother took me out for lunch to Awada’s on Plato and we had a fabulous dish called Salmon Angelina. It is made with angel hair pasta, wine, garlic and cream, and tossed with plum tomatoes, marinated artichokes and topped with grilled salmon and fresh parmesan. YUM! Then I worked on the blog archives for a bit and went to work at five.

Wednesday Cheir and I went out for lunch at this restaurant on Robert street called Beruit. They have the best Lebanese cuisine there! We had fallafel, babbe ganooj, beef and chicken shishk took (pronounced tah-uk: kababs) and lots of Lebanese bread, tahini and tebbuli (Greek salad). I also had the appetizer called fatoosh, which isn’t a far cry from tebbuli execpt that there are tomato chunks and a lemony garlic sauce and little toasted pita corners in it. MMmmmmm… We stank like garlic for the whole day and into the evening. Then we went to Target since she needed some essentials and I pondered getting an e.p.t. kit since I was unsure and very very late this month. I chose not to. Glad I didn’t…those suckers are pricey. Instead I opted to take a test at the clinic. I was negative!

My weekend sort of started out Thursday with me being a very bad mood. Then Friday, James and I sort of had a fight. We both love to debate current events and issues about politics, social issues, etc., but it just wasn’t a good time for me, apparently, because I was very angry about the things he kept bringing up. He was re-hashing his opinion on things we had already gone over a million times and I was trying to tell him that I’d already shared with him my stance on those topics and didn’t care to discuss them any further. It escalated into an argument Well, I got very upset at him and I left the apartment for a few hours to go to my mom’s. I think that since some of the things we were arguing about had to do with our future children, our married life together, etc., he had every right to want to discuss them. But for some reason, talking about them made me just upset (I guess I’m a raging bucket o’ hormones). In any case, when I went home later we talked and resolved some issues. Then we made up, all nicey nice again and went to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner. I was telling him about the lovely dish I had for lunch with mom Tuesday and we still had a large salmon filet in the fridge that had to be eaten. So he made me Salmon Fettucine Alfredo with mushrooms. It was deeeevine.

Saturday morning I got my period. We were elated, to say the very least. He went in to work for a few hours and I got a few (very few) things done around the apartment. Then we spent the day cuddling on the couch and channel surfing, and took turns napping. Around dinner time we decided we were in the mood for sushi but I was waiting for my friend Chanstay to call. I offered to help fix her computer and get it set up so she could go online with her DSL. We went over there around 8 and stayed for awhile after. Then we went driving around Grand Avenue looking for a Byerly’s so we could get some sushi since it was 11:30, we knew we weren’t gonna be able to go out somewhere to eat. We ended up going to the Byerly’s store in Eagan and then went home. We missed about half of SNL but anyway….all’s well that ends well.

PS- I’m looking for a host that can provide LOTS of file space, CGI, Perl, version 5.004_04 or greater and FTP, for very little or no cost. Anyone got any recommendations?

Today’s my 29th birthday. I don’t feel so accomplished today. Other people at age 29 were, however:

The Buddha decided to renounce the world and abandon family and possessions. Seven years later, he realized this brought him no closer to the wisdom he sought.

American inventor Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first complete sentence by telephone.

Agatha Christie, the most translated writer in the world, published her first book.

Michael Faraday demonstrated electromagnetic rotation, leading the way to the invention of the electric motor.

Blacksmith Kirkpatrick MacMillan invented the first real bicycle.

English novelist Emily Jane Bronte wrote the romance Wuthering Heights .

Singer-songwriter Carole King released her best-selling album Tapestry.

French naturalist George Dagobert founded the science of comparative anatomy.

1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest: (true story)

A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost “in a series of small fires.” The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued….and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire,” and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the “fires.”

NOW FOR THE BEST PART… After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine.

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 develo ents.

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 website work awaits. CGI scripting has never been this fun. Or seXXXy.

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 pictures.” [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.

Christmas. Then New Year’s. James and I spent it at my mom’s, drinking and snacking and playing the Planet Hollywood home game, Taboo, and Celebrity Taboo. Got a kiss at midnight. Drank crappy fake champagne.

Last week we celebrated his 27th birthday at his parents house and had dinner. Twas a jolly time had by all. Had mom and dad over for dinner Sunday (it’s their 28th anniversary on the 9th) and the 13th was our 6th month anniversary.

This weekend we rented Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas and Office Space on DVD, neither of which I’d seen before. I’m sure Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘Gonzo’ journalism is all just fine and dandy, and I loved Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro, I must say I had to squelch the urge to shudder at the gross display of psychotic behavior and excessive drug use in the film. Office Space was very funny. Especially where the nerdy office guys are destroying the fax machine out in the middle of the field and there’s gangsta rap playing during the scene. Very clever.

Got a call from a friend outstate, been awhile since we talked. She and her hubby are off to Vegas next month, we’re invited. Fat chance. I can’t even afford to look at commercials on TV.

Still jobless. Going hungry. I’ve got my Sharpie pen ready to draw out sections on the couch to cut up and cook for dinner. Aside from that, not much else to write home about.

All’s just peachy.

Right. Wonderful.

More to come. Betcha can’t stand the suspense. What??!! Bite me. I know, I know. I said it, you didn’t. Fuckin’ A.

CNN blamed ‘human error’ for accidentally displaying a ‘mock-up’ layout of obituaries for several, still-alive famous people on their website Thursday. They had put that page up with the intentions of it being available only iinternally. Whoops! Figures. Stupid Communist News Network. [full story]

At 7:40 this morning I was awaken by the ring of our phone. I did not go to bed until 4am last night so I was tired, tempted to let it go unanswered.

I caved.

Picked it up, mumbled something close to “Myeahh.”

It was for whomever used to have this phone number. (fuck, I hate it when the phone company just recycles old phone numbers!) The guy on the phone was way too perky for such an ungodly hour on Saturday. Said he was calling from Arby’s looking for so-and-so (some foriegn name I can’t pronounce (let alone recall). Said he had expected her at 7:30 and she had not showed up yet. My mouth hadn’t yet been awake for more than a few seconds, and I think I said something about the phone number situation. Then for some reason I distinctly remember telling him to “piss off” and then “have a good morming or whatever”.

Much later I awoke to start my day. Coffee was made. E-mail was checked. Normal Saturday activities Sheer laziness ensued.

It’s now 7:50 . Not much else has changed. Or moved.

Equals free graphics with which to jazz up web site.

I just took a crapload of online quizzes, just to see what kind of crappy pictues the results would give me.

Guess you could say that along with my boredom, I just was too lazy and cheap to make & download my own graphics today.

So on with it.

1st quiz was a quasi-professional looking psycho analysis of some kind. I took it. It didn’t have any cool result picture. Nonetheless, it was an okay test.

Personality Disorder Test
Disorder | Rating

Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Moderate Antisocial: Moderate Borderline: Low Histrionic: Low Narcissistic: Moderate Avoidant: Low Dependent: Low

Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

What a relief! I thought I was a psycho bitchfreak beast.

2nd quiz I found at relelentlessdivas.net, a quirky, fun, and even cute looking site. Unfortunately it’s run by an altogether too-fond-of-Sarah Michelle Gellar-flock of chickies. Upon my perusal, I found a boatload of quizzes beconing my mouse to click on. I took the How Horny Are You? test to see just indeed, how horny I was. The test turned out to be geared toward those to whom Fred Durst is a total hottie and sleepovers featuring our best classmates are still a normal thing to do. I don’t think they expected an engaged, somewhat conservative 30-year old female entrepeneur to take the quiz. But I did:

How Horny Are You?

Oh Yes! I’m SLUTishly HORNY!
How Horny Are You? Find out!

Then there’s the Which ‘Friend’ Are You? Which of course I enjoyed thoroughly because Friends is a fun show. Yes, I’m terrible. Here’s how this one went:

Which ‘Friend’ Are You? Find out!

Then again, what else is new?

He’s nothing but a dimestore documentarian disguised as a ‘good guy amateur journalist’ who’s just saying what he thinks has to be said. Unfortunately, so many people who might otherwise have gotten to know better, ate up things he does which converted an entire mob into a leftist orgy that we’re now neck-deep in. They’ve elevated him to idol status!

Look! Even Hollywood has put up a shrine to this clown. Ugh. Not that I expect more of Hollwood, what with all the [more now than ever] idiotic celebs spewing their stupid guts all over the place about war.

Check it out folks, there’s some bathroom reading for ya: News about the recent Peacenik Poop Parade

Whoa…poop everywhere!

Posted by dayleeblog |

Whoo Haa-

I’m baaaaack!

Okay, just to clue you all in as to what’s going on…my life is back on track, and in a neat order.

Somewhat.

I’m working. It’s work. Not a career. Work. It pays the bills and buys the creature comforts I require now and then.

James and I got us a place together in St. Paul. Just a place. A cute, little second floor apartment just a couple minutes from downtown.

Thanks for shopping at the ghetto, come again.

I’ve a hunch that our place is in the middle of one of the many ghetto-fabulous neighborhoods in the area. This was apparent when I waltzed into the nearby SuperAmerica store for a few things and could not help but notice four (4) surveilence cameras, one (1) police officer standing by the magazine rack and two (2) inches of plexiglass in front of the checkout counter between me and the cashier. I had to hold my purchases in front of the sheer crystalline fortress so that she could scan the barcodes with her scan gun and then thanked her through the hole in it. As I turn to leave, I find myself getting all but knocked on my ass by some dude who thinks he’s the bling king. What’s the big rush? Just to get his pack o’ Newports so he get his ‘smoke on’.

Also there is a foreign imports tuner shop directly across the street. The owner and his clientele frequently rev up their little souped-up and turbo-ed Hondas and make them speed loudly around the corner, resulting in noise that excites my testosterone-and-metal-crazed lover to no end. That sound is alot like a very loud, long, fart produced by someone suffering from a recent single-handed consumption of an entire White Castle Crave Case.

Sigh.

Right now we’re on a dial-up connection provided gratis, via Juno.com. Just for now, while awaiting DSL service from Visi, whom we have the highest expectations of since we’ve heard nothing but MARVELOUS things about from friends and neighbors.

Ah, anyway, let me go blow the dust off some more stuff. I’ll keep ya posted…

First entry after having just moved back to St. Paul.

Nothin’ really about the aluminum foil guy. Just stopping by to say hi, and that it cracks me the fuck up to see *****’s Sandbox right up there with Ann Coulter.

Apparently I don’t update often enough.

I DID get a nice Valentine from my love, kind of a surprise to me, seeing as things have been sort of bland lately between us. Bottom line of the message on the card was, ‘even though things go up & down’ he still loves me. Aw! Well I didn’t get anything for him this year other than my normal, daily unwaining care & attention…that night he came home and said he was sorry that was all he got me, DOUBLE AW! (That’s ALL I ever wanted hunny bunny…a sweet lil’ ol message from you to affirm your feelings).

Aside from that, there’s alot of other news, but for some reason when things are not hunky-dory I don’t say much here–yech. More on that later

In other news:

The Flowbee Poster Girl
…how I envy her sense of fun & style.

Did you know today is the 20th anniversary of The Infommercial? Yup.

My faves are:

The Paint Stick
Mainly because if I ever need to paint a house, I’m getting one! They’re neat-o!

The Flowbee Haircutting system
‘Cause it SUCKS as it CUTS! Forget going to the salon, save money and look like a wanker with a chop ‘do.

And of course who could forget…

Didi Seven or The Egg Wave?!

Also…

Apparently what you do for a living can dictate how good a driver you are.

The results of the study show the more stressful a job you have, the higher chance you have of getting speeding tickets or having accidents. This seems strange to me (although I don’t drive) but I thought “Hmm…so why does being a homemaker make you less accident-prone?” Isn’t that one of the most stressful jobs there is? Hey, all you stay at-home Moms/wives/girlfriends/etc., what do you think, can I get an “Amen”?!

Today I was watching Fox News as I frequently do, and they had a commentary about an article USA Today posted yesterday which discussed the blogging craze. What stuck out to the author of the article was that, out of all the kinds of blogs there are out there, the ones which address politics seemed to have the most impact. I think it’s interesting that lots of the people they list are not necessarily ‘famous’ bloggers but folk who become known for a blog that MEANS something, or does something different! Not a blog that’s been around since 1998 so it’s automatically deemed great (mine’s been around since Oct 1999 but that doesn’t make it faboo-luss, just a crotchety old broad among wee babies).

Which brings me to the point of my entry.

I don’t understand the big deal with ‘the most famous bloggers’ names and websites being shoved at us fellow webloggers every which way and angle. Nor do I understand ‘blog award’ ceremonies/sites. Even one of the most celebrated weblog authors, Tom Coates has poo-pooed the idea of such competition, saying that it’s not what blogging is about. I wholeheartedly agree…not simply because I’m a blogger who is not celebrated as others are, quite the contrary. My blog is my world, my writing is mere record of my thoughts and more often than not, my own devlish entertainment and if someone else enjoys reading it, then cheers, mate! More power to ya! Thanks for reading! Otherwise I could give a shit about it some days.

You Sound Bitter….Don’t you like any of them?
Sure, there are several fellows among the lists of ‘famous’ power bloggers whose work I admire…although many blog with the intent on being or aspiring to be an independent news source because they have issues with the media or because they love it and want to be part of it. They post links and commentary–the commentary being sometimes fact, sometimes opinion–to things they hold newsworthy. They also practice self-marketing techniques in order keep bringing in readers. They toot their own horns and toot loudly. Terrific for them! I can toot too, but take me as I am, I don’t try to push the envelope. I loathe salespeople with a capital L. I’ve never tried to be one (albeit several lame attempts at getting atop The Girl Scout Cookie Sell-A-Thon hill, as a misty-eyed, scabby-kneed youth). Personally, I take on a whole different manner of blogging. Some may compare the way I blog to a ‘diary’ or online journal. Be that as it may, I’ve always found the many interpretations and definitions of blogging to be interesting at best, at worst sounding a bit like someone on a high horse “who was there” when blogging was “invented” and as such, they strongly adhere to a belief of ‘THIS is what a blog is and THAT is what a blog isn’t’, and all those who stray from THIS or THAT are NOT bloggers.

I believe my way of weblogging to be the true definition of it in my own way because it is just that. A log. On the web. A web log. Mostly a collection of my thoughts put into written word…all of which I never expect everyone to respect or agree with. My blog, in years past–has not so much evolved–but rather, changed in many ways, as I’ve come to terms with what my blog ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’.

It isn’t a source of newsworthy items, I tried that once and found I only tired of being the 4 millionth person on the internet to have commented on some such thing or other, joining in on the beating of a dead horse. It isn’t a brilliant collection of art or poetry, my heart belongs to literary work in the form of bound books–I never have been any good or very interested in writing poetry, nor do I understand or appreciate much of the liberal symbolism of art. My blog is not a widely-visited ground for public commentary (but it would be okay if it was–I don’t bite). It is not a foundry of technical tips, knitting know-how or spritiual guidance. It is not a community where other bloggers come to rest, read about their buddies or get a grasp on the ‘latest’ anything. It is not a name-dropping session (unless you are in my family, ha ha) or a place where I post he-says and she-says type of commentary…I see alot of blogs that do…although to their credit, I believe most–not all–do so to point out from whom they got a link. It is not a place where all the cool kids go to keep up on anything and certainly not a culture club.

It IS a sporadic practice in free speech. It IS a place I go to put down something funny that happened on the way to work, in line at the gas station, and whatnot. It IS something that I will keep around for posterity. It IS something I do not edit because all of a sudden I’m embarrased about what I said back in March. It IS a growing, maturing thing just like my own mind and soul (I still feel 12 sometimes). It IS something that I expect people might either read and enjoy, or read and bash. It IS my open mic night. That’s what it is. My blog’s a stage and a sanctuary all at once. A true story and yet a conundrum. It is ambiguous and at the same time unequivocal. It is easily both obscure and notable. It is not black and white but grey all over. It’s mine, and it’s just fine.

Well it’s Saturday and my apartment is a dump. What’s new?

A few things. Work has been great, it’s been a bit of a challenge to fit in, what with the current situation being a really really laid back one and me trying my best to shed my past 10 years of dealing with tortorous corporate settings complete with hardass bosses and stringent procedures.

They want to see me stay there and I want that to happen so I’m putting my best foot forward and evaluating my feelings at the same time. I get stressed easily by stuff that my coworkers tell me is ‘not worth stressing over, no big deal’ so I’m trying out methods to keep me calm at the office.

On the homefront, There’s lots going on. James and I finally agreed to disagree on many things, we have agreed on moving this Spring closer to his work but still close enough for me to get on a bus so I can still get to my job, too. Last night I hung out with my girlfriends and ate Chinese buffet (last time I do that for a loooong time). Tomorrow my mom, sis and her best friend are all getting together at mom’s new place to bake, mainly Christmas cookies, which we all later split up and share with friends and give as gifts.

And today & tonight I’m staying in and cleaning house and doing laundry like nobody’s business.
Maybe later I’ll go to the grocery store and get some cookie baking stuff together to bring to mom’s tomorrow.

Just throwing in a couple of cool links and then I’m off the rest of the holiday weekend. Have a good one!

Oh jeez, I missed No Pants Day again! I’m sure my fiancee would be all for that kind of day…er–scratch that. He’d like a No Pants Year, starring me. I’m not so sure I’d be all that comfortable. Of course you can wear No Pants Day boxers if you’re really modest, like me.

Digital Sushi is marvelous! If you like sushi, that is…you should at least TRY IT. Start with something simple, like California roll, if you’re squeamish about sashimi (raw fish). California roll is made out of pieces of cucumber, carrot, or avacado and tuna, crab or imitation crabmeat and sometimes cream cheese. Then it’s all wrapped up in white rice and nori (seaweed wrap). I like to take a bit of wasabi and mix it with shoyu (soy sauce) and dip the roll into it. It’s way too yummy to describe. You can get variations of California roll at many Chinese or Japanese buffet-style restaurants. In West St. Paul, Grand Buffet has some, but I prefer the stuff made and bought at the Byerly’s deli. Anyway, Digital Sushi has a complete ‘dictionary’ (with pictures!) that lists all types of sushi and sushi ingredients, to get familiar with. Even if you don’t like any of the food, there’s lots of other cool stuff like photos of trips to Japan, cool desktop stuff like icons, cursors and wallpaper. So go!

Riding In Cars…With Boys
Okay, so we have one car. He is the driver. So I spend alot of time in the passenger seat of the car. Sometimes more time is spent in the damn car, waiting for him to get smokes, gas, etc. All the while, I sit and wait. I’ve noticed that gas stations do not really play any decent music. It’s usually Backstreet Boys crap or old, rejected soft rock. Anyway, the other day I all but threw my hands up in rejoice and spewed forth shouts of ‘hallelujah!’ because as I’m sitting in the car waiting yet again, they played Steely Dan! No way, were we at a gas station? I had to look around to make sure. Yep, we are. I had to pinch myself to be sure I wasn’t dreaming. Nope. I thought that was pretty damn cool. I thought it outloud when he came back to the car. He supressed a chuckle. A ‘OMYGOD, you’re weird’ chuckle.

Okay, so you think I’m a dork, and you’re sure that Steely Dan is still crappy stuff to play at a gas station, or anywhere, for that matter. But to me it was fantastic.

Since we’re on the subject of music…
This is a cool website that lists songs that have been played on TV commercials. If you’re into that sort of thing. I just happened upon it while cruising Google (I’m always cruising Google!). I was looking for an answer to the latest debacle over at my guestbook, about a Ralph Lauren fragrance ad. Yes, folks, the highlight of my day so far is arguing with people at my own guestbook about tv commercials. How pathetic is that?

Okay Now I’m Bored
All you’s sweet lil’ preteen Britney Spears fans go to beddy-bye before you read any further. Might give you nightmares. Don’t want that.

I was hanging out over at Kung Foo for a bit and now I’m just about ready to go to bed. But not before I post another link, which I happened to find at KF. Yeah I STOLE THE LINK FROM THEM, BEYATCH! So sue me. Anyhoo, here’s America’s Sweetheart tokin’ it up in Marlboro Country. Ain’t that sweet and precious? What a good Baptist girl hypocrite.

nighty-night.

Here’s where I yammer about some recent happenings in the media. Why do I feel like I have to explain myself? Ugh. I’m a dork. Deal.

Look What I Can Do!
Unlike alot of people, I didn’t pay much attention to magician David Blaine’s recent ‘trick’, he called Vertigo. Whatever. Big deal. So you can stand still for 35 hours. Cool. My dad worked as a baker for 35 years, standing like that (well, moving a little) for 10 hours a day. Give the boy his Guinness World Record and tell him to shut it. Anyway, this is what I did watch last night, since I don’t watch The West Wing and don’t have cable, for much else:

Bada-Bing
That’s about how quickly the fight went down last night at Celebrity Boxing II, on FOX TV. Joanie Laurer, formerly known as China (Chyna? Cheina? whatever..) got her ass handed to her by Joey Buttafuoco, however an unfair battle it may have been. He basically avoided tossing too many body shots or punches and concentrated on throwing her around like a domestic assault victim. When it was over the host asked Joey and China how they felt the fight went, and Joey says some bullshit about being in the pen and being innocent (I guess it’s like shell-shock, once you’ve been in a war, you talk about nothing else). Joanie says that she thought it was an unfair fight, but let her and Joey get in ‘her ring’ and play by ‘her rules’ and then see how things go! Um…isn’t she retired from pro wrestling? John Wayne Bobbit was originally Buttafuoco’s opponent in this match but I guess he was in the hospital for something.
Olga Korbut versus Darva Conger: Darva kicked Olga’s ass, as I had expected, being she outweighs and outreaches Olga by a bit, it was a very agressive match. Basically the audience has Darva in their sights, and booed and hissed and cussed the whole time she was being introduced and whatnot (I don’t like her either, she’s a stupid bitch), but then the crowd loved her once she proved herself a worthy competitor.
Ron Palillo, 48 (aka Arnold Horshak from 70’s TV fame “Welcome Back Kotter”) versus Dustin Diamond, 25 (aka Screech from Saved By The Bell): What the hell was the show’s producers thinking? Horshak is lighter than Diamond by over 30 lbs., and quite a bit older. Therefore, Diamond kicked his patooty to the other hemisphere.
The African basketball player, Manute Bol kicked William “Refrigerator” Perry’s ass, but I didn’t see that fight ’cause I was in the other room.

No Laughing Matter
Is ABC news bored? Have nothing else to offer? They must be. Evident as in this recent article, praising and picking on clowns good and bad, respectively. One thing it mentions is coulrophobia. The fear of clowns. Are there THAT MANY PEOPLE with this affliction? Who knew? I mean, come ON, I get scared of normal things like dark alleys, extreme heights, etc. Do any of you really know of anyone who suffers from this? I can’t help but giggle. I mean, I don’t think clowns are all that funny. Funny-looking, maybe. I don’t laugh at them as much as I pity them. Go ahead. Call me a meanie.

The 80’s are back, and in a big way. In music, in fashion, in movies and other stuff. Take a look around you. You can’t miss it. I posted some great 80’s links for your pleasure (but mostly mine, heh heh):

Test your knowledge on the ‘Me’ decade
Take “The 80’s Are Back Pack” quiz and see for yourself how good you are. Fun stuff, if you remember all of that. I remember parts of it.

80’s Fashion
Have you noticed? Take a close look at some of the TV, movie, and music stars next time you flip through an issue of People or watch a talk show.
J-lo for instance, is supposedly ‘stunning’ in this gown at her ‘Enough’ movie premier. If that’s ‘stunning’ you should see me in my raggedy old bathrobe at 8am! Eddie Griffin wore an old-school style jogging suit to his Conan O’Bryan appearance yesterday. It made me wanna bust out my old Run DMC tape and play ‘My Adidas’ and ‘Peter Piper’. Either that or go roller-skating while someone plays ‘Saturday’ by De La Soul on a boom box.

Did you also notice the 80’s-inspired songs that are on the radio nowadays?
Indeed. Look at the video for the new song by ‘No Doubt’…the song sounds so eighties, and what the hell are they wearing?
Here’s a directory page full of 80’s song links and lyrics that will surely take you back to those oh-so-happy days of greed and goodness, Cabbage Patch Dolls and Rubix Cubes, A Flock Of Seagulls and Hall & Oates good time, all rolled into one decade. Watching ‘The Wedding Singer’ kinda brought me back too, only that was just a smidgen of things from the 80’s that I loved.

Okay, so Rosie O’Donnell is done
Then why the *$&# is the show still on ?? Did I tell you that I once had a dream about that show? I did. But rather than go into it here, I’ve filed it over here, with my other stories about celebrity dreams. Yes, I have dreams about celebrities. Is that an oddity? I think so. I’d rather have them then nightmares, if I could choose, but if that is strange then so be it.

Five-Finger Discount Shopping Mall Princess Winona Ryder
Provided SNL audiences with guffaws at her own expense, while hosting the show’s season finale last weekend. The actress, who was arrested and accused of shoplifting at Los Angeles’ SAKS FIFTH AVENUE store in December, must wait until later this month to face the charges in court–but remains defiant–the little anarchist that she is!

Editor’s Note: Rock star Moby appeared with Ryder in a skit that was a sort of nutty re-enactment of the shoplifting incident. I myself found it particularly ironic (and somewhat funny) that Moby, a.k.a. Mr. No Brand Name Material Things For Me, Thanks, was able to place himself in such a position…even if it WAS a pretend shopping mall.

Love Hurts

This past week in Rome, GA, a man by the name of Getty Garnsberger proposed to his wife in a very creative fashion. Garnsberger told us that, “Most guys get on one knee and ask their pretty girlfriend to marry them. It is in my opinion that guys who get on one knee are pussies and are their wife’s bitch for life. I love my lady, but I don’t want her to think that I am her bitch, and that’s why I proposed to her like this.”

Garnsberger proposed to his future bride by hanging above her via metal hooks and wire punctured through the skin and muscle tissue in his back.

Garnsberger just hung there while his girlfriend slept until she woke up, “I saw him hanging there above me,” said the future bride, “and I knew that this was going to be the man that I would cook and clean for my entire life. I know my place on this earth. Getty is the one who taught me how a woman belongs to her husband, taking care of his every need, and I want to be his wife, to take care of him, so I of course said ‘Yes’, how could I not.”
Hey, love is a funny thing!

You’ve Read The News, Now Play The Game!
Hey kids! It’s “Father Fondle”, the new game where you pinch altar boys’ asses until you win!

Idiot Criminal of the Week
A suspected drug dealer must not have had anywhere to stash his crack cocaine and marijuana, authorities said, so he brought it with him to court.

Duron Ford, 19, had a court appearance Monday on drug possession charges. Knowing Ford was due in court, officers approached him in the courthouse to serve a warrant on an unrelated case.

As police closed in on him, Ford reportedly said, “Man, I got the blow on me.”

After 10 police officers corralled Ford in the hallway of the Fayette County courthouse, they found he was carrying about two grams of crack cocaine and some marijuana.

“We would hope that they have enough brain cells to know not to bring illicit drugs into the courthouse,” said Ford’s court-appointed attorney, Jeffrey Witeko.

Ford was in jail after being arraigned on charges of drug possession and resisting arrest.

Idiot Parents of the Week
Chris Winston named his son William, but Hoover might have been a better choice. Little William is only 21 months but he already has an obsession: vacuum cleaners. His dad says William is so obsessed that “some rooms get vacuumed every 12 hours.”

Little William isn’t just stuck on vacuum cleaners, he also likes watching vacuuming videos for hours at a time.

Unfortunately William’s mom erased his prized video: a late-night infomercial for a vacuum cleaner called the Stick Shark.

William’s been throwing a fit ever since, forcing his parents to get a new copy of the Stick Shark infomercial.

Unfortunately, infomercial broadcasts aren’t listed in “TV Guide.”

Now, the Winstons are so desperate, they’re taping vacuuming footage off the QVC channel in hopes of sucking up to their child.

Okay, that’s pretty acceptable. Being that this is a Brunching Shuttlecocks toy, I thought for sure I was in for a doozy. Me likey. I keep it now.

ASCI is cool again. I want to make a whole page of it. I once got an e-mail with a Kermit the Frog head made entirely in ASCI code.

For some reason, my creativity crystals are flowing at warp speed today. Pretty refreshing for a Monday. So noted. I shall take adavantage of this and go work on some porn (just how creative is that, I ask you? bah..). But not before I post my regular Monday participation stuffs.

Good Morning Minnesota!
On Tuesday, Good Morning America visited my great home state of Minnesota. They had fun…yes, THERE’S FUN TO BE HAD IN MINNESOTA!!

Some random facts about Minnesota:

Prince, a.k.a. The artist formerly known as the symbol no one can find on their keyboard, and Five Finger Discount Shopping Mall Princess Winona Ryder, are from Minnesota.

So is General Mills, the company that brings you Green Giant, Yoplait, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Bisquick products, and just about every cereal you like.

So are staplers and staples, roller blades, water skis, Hormel and Spam Food products, Pearson’s Candy Company (maker of the famous MoonPies, Nut Goodie and Salted Nut Roll) and many, many other fabu things they don’t tell you in geography class. So there. Come visit us next time you figure out you don’t have enough money to go to Tahiti ’cause you spent all your dough on online porn.

Best times to visit:
Love spring, tulips, gardens, lots of green things, and cool days? (go in late May-early June)

Love crisp, cool autumn days, lots of colorful trees? Go in early-to-mid October, peak color time depends on where in Minnesota you go.

Like winter sports, lots of snow, romantic cold evenings in front of the fire? Go in mid-winter (Late Jan-early Feb)

Like it so fucking hot that the only thing you have to do to make beads of sweat spring out on your forehead is just poke your head out the window? Like to stand in line for hours on end at silly ride parks on such hot, sunny days? I’m talking 100 degrees? Then come in July or August. Be damned sure your lodging facility has air conditioning.

Things to avoid:
The Mall (brawl, sprawl, maul) of America

The airport (hard to avoid that, haha)

Either of the downtowns – Minneapolis or St. Paul (just between 6:30-9:00am, 3:30-5:30 , any other times are fine).

If you like road trips mainly because you want scenery, I highly recommend visiting this page to find your best route. However, if you like road trips that involve stuffing you and all your buddies, your bong and your old rock-n-roll cassette tapes into a hatchback and getting truly lost, I recommend traveling through this state.

The Explore Minnesota web site has a calendar of events to partake in, and even a trip planner program to help you best take advantage of all the great things our state has to offer.

Everybody Deep Link Tonight
According to the company that represents The Dallas Morning News website, deep linking allows web surfers to miss the advertising placed on its home page. Aww, too bad, huh?

In case you didn’t already know, BarkingDog.org’s site has been issued a Cease and Desist letter by the parent company of Dallas News (Belo) for linking directly to an article rather than sending the browser to the main home page first. How many of us MeFi’ers and bloggers out there have um…already done this, a million times over, with other such news sites? How about almost all of us? So far, the U.S. District Courts have ruled such linking to not be illegal, as long as the source of the article is clearly identified. Of course it’s not the first time that companies have tried to sue against deep linking, an article at Wired points out.

Let’s all deep link our arses off, to The Dallas Morning News, because how likely is it that the Belo lawyers are going to fire off letters to each of us? Of course this issue has already been talked to near-death by my pals at MeFi, but this is just my stance on the whole thing. [courtesy of Dot Blog

Caution: Weblog Reviews Not Meant For Euphorians Or The Faint Of Heart
This bastard had the cajones to sit there at his lameass ‘Plastic Electric’ blog and call me a bad reviewer and said, here, let me take a stab at reviewing! I bet I could do a better job than you. He couldn’t hang. Just as I guessed would happen, eventually, he quit. Sucka! Meanwhile, I’m on #6 and still going strong. PS – What the fuck is Plastic Electric, anyway? Some kind of gay ass way of calling yourself a libertarian?

Adult webmaster by night, SPAM-victim by day
Now I’ve Seen EverythingI got an e-mail today with the subject header ‘First with inter-oral camera’. Now being that I’m an adult webmaster * by night, you can imagine what I was thinking before opening this e-mail.

Turns out it was an investor’s weekly newsletter highlighting this company. Apparently LumaLite has designed a technology that allows dentists and patients to view the inside of the patient’s mouth, and the dentist can pinpoint the problem areas, etc.

This was of course, NOT what I was imagining the case to be. I thought it was yet another ‘porn site plug’ e-mail, which, seeing as I’m in the industry, I think I get a lot of. Of course, when I wasn’t, I thought I got plenty. This issue has taken up alot of recent news headlines and online articles as of late, it seems to be sort of unstoppable.

Of course, any self-respecting adult webmaster DOES NOT condone unsolicited e-mail. It’s no way to try to run a business. Those who do this will learn that all that hard work and maintaining some semblence of dignity, will go down the drain, and fast. Do you get alot of porn SPAM?

* YES, this means I do online porn. So, yeah, I make nudey web sites in my spare time.

Pick your jaw up off the floor.

No, you can’t have a free password.

1. Do you have any tattoos? If no, why not and what would you get if you did get one. If you do have one or more, tell us how you came to get it, and why you chose the design you got inked with. No tats, never, ever. Ever. My fiancee wants to be covered in them. His loss. I like my skin the way it is. Expression? Art? Sure. Just not my way of doing it :o)

2. Has anything ever happened that caused you to believe, or disbelieve, in a Higher Power. Sure, every once in awhile I get the notion that there IS A GOD, because how else can you explain the wonderful, mysterious ways of nature? How else can you explain a sunset? A thunderstorm? A forest full of creatures and all of the sounds they make, their ways of survival, and things they are up to? A new life in a womb, developing its own tiny little teeth, hairs, cells, wrinkles, and even fingerprints? FINGERPRINTS! How the heck else do you explain that?

3. Have you ever seriously considered, or even attempted, suicide? Not ever, ever. I enjoy life to its fullest. Sure, we all have bad moments or even bad days, every now and again. To me, life is way too short. A blink of an eye. Seems like just yesterday I was 15, and the yesterday before that, 5. I’m now creeping toward 30! I am the girl who can barely go to bed because I don’t want to miss a SECOND.

4. Has anyone you have known committed suicide? Not personally.

5. This weekend you and I are going to the nature park for a picnic. I’ll bring the blanket and make all the arrangements. You pack the picnic basket. What’s inside? A pupu (Hawaiian word for snack mix) bag full of norimake (seaweed-wrapped rice crackers), wasabi peanuts (peanuts covered with dried Japanese horseradish paste, and yakko arare (spicy rice crackers), some Ahi, poke (Hawaiian sushi) or some California Roll made with crab or tuna, with lots and lots of wasabi and soy sauce, and for dessert, chocolate covered Macadamia nuts. YUM.

6. Have you ever been mad at God for something that happened (or didn’t happen)? Yes. I was very mad at God when my Grandmother died in July 2000. I was very mad at God when he took a my friend Shannon’s baby girl, Samantha who was not quite 2 years old. I am very mad at God just about every day when I think of my dad and how sick he is.

7. Describe someone that is no longer with us. Tell us about that person. My Grandma was the most down-to-earth person in my family, who we lost in July of 2000. We always could count on her to provide us with a laugh, a good story, a great meal, and unconditional love. She had a way with handiwork, I have a million things in my apartment which she had made for me and given as gifts over the years. She had faith in all who she loved and always saw the good in me, even when I was bad. She was almost everyone’s best friend and if you needed something, she saw to it that you were taken care of completely. Her wit and wisdom were traits that shone clear through to everyone who met her. I miss her every day and wish she would have been alive to meet James and see that we were happy together.

BONUS: Who are you? I am me. I am no one else. I can be a crybaby, a bitch, a lazy slob, an impatient brat, a geek, an argumentative person, a procrastinator, a loner. I’m also an independent woman of 29 who has just recently realized her dreams in life and how to go about achieving them. Very happily engaged to a Big Dreamer and Thinker, who sees that his daily task is to love and please me (how wonderful is that?). I’m someone who never forgets a name to match a face, a shared memory between friends, a birthday, a favorite ‘something’ of a loved one. I’m a sister, a daughter, a bride, a best friend, a leader, a builder, a seeker, a comforter, a lover.

Well, my friend and her husband went back home today…they came up from WI to visit over the weekend.

On Friday they went to the Brawl of America for their 5-year old son’s b-day and then Saturday night we all went over to their hotel to party a bit. It was nice. We reminisced a bit on old times and whatnot, smoked too much and drank a little.

Have I ever mentioned that “Triumph” the Insult Comic Dog, is one of my very favorite, of all TV personality animals? Yes, indeedy…everything, to him, is “For ME TO POOP ON!”

My horoscope for today says:
Your mood should be quite good, dear Aries, and you will find that in general, people will adapt to your lead. Keep in mind that this also indicates that they will probably be more likely to fight back. You may have the tendency to lean toward the bizarre and unconventional. The route to take is the one that fosters diversity and revolutionary thinking. Be a pioneer in every situation you encounter.

Yikes! In my haste to post all my favorite online Mr. T. haunts, I forgot to mention that you should visit this page, and this page, both which highlight his career as B.A. Baracus and also displays recent appearances & interviews.

Also, that link I had posted for How to Hide The Fact That You’re Mr. T. From Your Co-Workers, is broken. Where did that go? That was THE funniest article!! It was featured at Daily Radar, a site which is now defunct, some Nintendo Gamer site which was taken down by Microsoft or some nasty thing. If someone could find me a copy or something…I’d PAY them!

Well, this week has gone by in a flash. The weather’s even been pleasant, what with the high temps only in the 70’s everyday. Haven’t been up to anything exciting, of course *gasp* are you shocked?
Last night I babysat for my darling nephew, who still kicks my ass at video games and is increasing his word power every day. I’m impressed, it’s as if he’s been checking out the Reader’s Digest section on vocabulary. I’m planning on taking him around downtown sometime next week, to ride the big bus like the cityfolk do and maybe grab some lunch. I want us to go scout out all the Snoopy sculptures they started putting up around town in June for the ‘Peanuts on Parade’ dealie. Yeah, I think he’ll like that. We can get a map of where they all are and go get our pictures taken with Snoopy, too. I’m all revved up. I’ve even got my pose all picked out. Check out what I imagine me and Snoopy posing together would look like, only not in B&W.
You know, I nearly forgot to show you that sunset from the other night. This was just a day after the Aurora Borealis that was viewable around midnight in some areas. Also, as promised, go see the pics I took from when I went out to the bar with Sandy, Tony, Chris and Donna after the Booya earlier this month. Gosh, it’s damned late. Yikes.

I better get to bed.

Have you noticed how awfully long I’ve gone without frequent updates? Yikes. So sorry.

Yes, indeedy, I’ve been up to a whole lot of nothing, as usual. Since last I wrote, I’ve had an uneventful boring week at the fulltime job I hate, did some work for the new part time job I love, and visited alot with friends and family. For the first time in a week, I’ve also slept in my own bed! Haha..it’s not like it sounds. On the contrary. Almost all last week it was so g.d. hot that I camped out on the couch every night with the a/c and floor fan going. Thank goodness for oscilating three speed floor fans. Got it at Sears, about two summers ago, and I cannot live without it. Yesterday I went to a barbeque and then today we ate chicken from The Coop and now I’ve got heartburn…blechh. Well, on a more pleasant note, I DID get to see a bit of the aurora borealis last nite and also a splendid sunset this evening. Will post pics later, as always, plus I’ll have a link for the page about our infamous bar night adventures last week.

Oh Christmas…now I see how late it is and I should be getting ready for bed, dammit. Just as I am relaxing and enjoying myself I have to cut stuff short.

I haven’t been up to much lately, just working my 2 jobs and surviving day to day, what with being nearly broke all the time. That’s my own damn fault, though, and I am working on it. This last weekend was o.k., I went and did some grocery shopping on Saturday and it was SOOOOO HOT out, so I just hung around the house awhile. Saturday night I tried to do some work but I just got bored so I was on the phone for a couple hours and then I monkeyed around on the computer til late. I think I was up until 4am just because I wasn’t sleepy at all. My mom and dad FINALLY came home from being at my grandma’s house in Duluth since like, right after Memorial weekend. They are just glad to be home after being gone so long. It was just lucky that they’re retired so they were able to stay and take care of Grandma that whole time. On Sunday I was working for like an hour when Sandy and Tony came over and said “Let’s go!” I almost forgot about the Booya on that day. If you have never heard of a Booya, it is basically a fundraiser that the fire department in Newport puts together every July on the weekend after the holiday and I have been going to it almost every year since I was a kid. They have a beer truck set up next to a big tent and tables everywhere to sit, and you can get beers for $1.00 US all day, plus they have games for the kids and craps tables and bingo inside the fire hall. The local Boy Scout troops even come out every year and sell sno-cones and nachos and stuff. For two days before the event, they cook I don’t know how many GALLONS of soup, which is very good and they call it Booya. They make it from chicken stock and oxtails and vegetables and people haul just buckets and pails of it out ’cause it’s so tasty. Also all day long they sell pulltab tickets and raffle tickets which they call the numbers out for and give away a bottle of liquor like every ten minutes. The major raffles this year were a kid’s brand new bike, $500.00, and $100.00. They also raffle off a little red Radio Flyer wagonload full of booze too. So basically all day Sunday, I drank beer all day with Sandy and Tony and our friends. It was super hot and sticky almost all day but the beer was nice and cold so it wasn’t all that bad. Then after everyone went home, we didn’t feel like going home so we all went to the Cloverleaf bar over by the highway, and that place is a total dump, but we were already drunk so we all went over there anyway ’cause they had air conditioning. We had some more beers and played darts, and we were messin’ with everyone there and taking pictures of stuff. It was really funny ’cause this lady came in with all this candy she was selling for one of her kids’ sports teams or whatever, Tony bought this big ol’ box of Bazooka Joe bubble gum and I was chewing some. I blew this great big bubble and got like half of the gum on my face so I had to go into the bathroom to wash it off. Before I went down the hall everybody was bitching about the music ’cause the jukebox was done playing. When I went to walk to the bathroom, this old nasty guy, was sitting at the bar close to the bathroom and he says to me “Say, put a couple quarters in the jukebox, would you, young lady?” and I said “Um, I’ll be right back.” When I got back out of the bathroom I totally ignored the guy when I was walking back to where we were sitting. While I was in the bathrrom getting the gum off my face, my sister had gone to the jukebox and came back and was telling everyone something and laughing. I asked her what happened and she said while she was at the jukebox she hears this same old guy and all of his even nastier friends all chuckling and har-dee-har-har-ing and she was minding her business and she looks away from the jukebox for like a second and she sees this dude mooning his friends and they are all having a great laugh and she was like ‘Oh my GOD’ and laughs to herself about how stupid these guys are and then she said that when she walked back to our spot in the bar the guy says to her ‘Did you see me naked?” and she’s like “No?!!” and he says “Do you wanna?” and she all but RAN back to the table. Do you believe some of the stuff people do in bars? Good golly. I managed to kick ass at darts for awhile even though almost all the ones I threw went on the floor! My sister was yelling ’cause she was losing, something awful. It was fun for awhile but then I benched it for the rest of the night so Tony’s drunk ass could play but he was no better. His friend Chris was makin’ us all laugh ’cause he is a frontman for this band and we call him the Rock Star. Plus Tony called him Fuckin’ Chris once so now Chris is always calling Tony Fuckin’ Tony and it’s really funny. He was calling Donna Crazy Donna and Donna was like “Whatever” when he called her that. Sandy and I were all yelling about how come we don’t have nicknames. It was really fun ’cause Chris was really trippin’ us out. He usually has nothing to say but we were laughin’ our asses off at him, plus it was fun to get him in pictures. Ha! I will post them later, for sure. I got lots more to talk about but I better get some work done or else I’ll be deeper in the hole.

later…

Oh boy. Lots has happened. Been busy, really, what with working two jobs and taking up my weekends doing stuff. Grandma passed on Saturday, and on Monday I left to go up north to visit with family and attend services. My mom has been at my grandma’s house for the past month or so, and was taking care of her for awhile, so it was nice visiting with her and everyone else again. Grandma’s church filled up quickly. She had a full house. Everybody who knew her loved her and I will especially miss her. I missed work on Monday and am not excited about going back but perhaps I will get my shit together and find something else, and soon. In the meantime I have got lots of other stuff to do. I’ve been going walking regularly with Sandy in the mornings, before work and it’s nice to be able to do that. Went this morning but she wasn’t up to it. I’m sitting here in my tennies, planning my week.

Do you sit back and think about how many stupid stupid things you see people doing? I have. Keep this page bookmarked and check for updates.
I have to go grab a shower but I’ll be back later with lots more.

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Third Level of Hell!Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 3 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to… the Third Level of Hell!

In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.

Take the Dante’s Inferno Hell Test

I can be properly fingered by the authorities (oohmythatsoundedbad!) with this:

my mugshot, created online at this site. The pic, which I took way too long to make, bears shocking resemblence to my actual self…for the exception of the hairdo but it was the only one with a squarish hairline, which I posess. Anyhoo…

Here’s the real me:

What fun, eh? I must be bored off my ass again. This reminds me…I’ve been meaning to build a photoblog…mainly ’cause I wanna back up all my digicam files into CD archives but before I do that I should build the photoblog then back everything up and move it off the hard drive. Ol’ puter ain’t what she used to be and if I’m gonna do any updatin’, re-configuratin’ and whatnot I best be ready for it.

Anybody have any good photoblog experiences/tools/tips tricks to share using MT? Holla.

As a home-biz CEO, in charge of diddly squat extradordinaire (ha ha you funny, Doctah Jones), I’m always doing research on branding, advertising and marketing as well as strategies/outcomes played out in the real markets. Inasmuch, I subscribe to IAG’s Top Ten most effective ads (by recall and likeability) and here their top 5 most likeable for Dec 22nd ’03 – Jan. 4th ’04:

#1 Pontiac – GTO–engine assembled by robotic arms

#2 H&R Block – Instant Money Loans–mirror; woman with baby; walk out with loan check

#3 Royal Caribbean – Man pretends to hold up Leaning Tower of Pisa for photo

#4 Budweiser – True–Leon tells coach he wants to sit and watch from the sideline

#5 Wendy’s – 99 Cent Super Value Menu–woman in pink jogging suit

And my question is…where’s the Office Depot ad?–you know, guy with green marker all over his face, feigning sick to his boss so he can go home from work?

And what about the couple with the new house asking the contractor what’s the good news? The good news is he just saved 15% on his auto insurance with Geico. (the commercial within a phony commercial)

Brilliant, I say.

This is a test to see if my recent addition of the javascript I found here will work to expand and collapse a long entry without the reader leaving the page.

I wanted to use this because I know my posts tend to be long and not really eye-friendly to readers who don’t necessarily want to read this post but want to scroll ahead to the next without going too far to read other junk they are not interested in.

Some poor guy went on vacation and while his goofy friends were housesitting, they decided to wrap the entire interior of his apartment in aluminum foil.

Starting the New Year Off Right …with the first odd search requests.

fine art of booya.com
Booya is not a fine art. It’s a white trash, small-town summer tradition called Booya, named so after the soup they serve. The booya, which is prepared in 55-gallon drums by the firefighters of my hometown every July, is supposedly delicious but I only tried once as a tyke and didn’t care for it. The actual event is something I have been to on occasions when I want to get stinkin’ drunk and have nothing else to do on a hot-ass Sunday afternoon. Most years, I avoid it with a lame excuse.

Ees nothing but fat here, dahlink! The images will come later though. In the meantime, check out my alter ego blog

I guess that’s all for now…Later, taters

From the makers of Fun With Telemarketers…only the complete opposite.

I got a call yesterday evening just as I was about to go to the bathroom. I ran to get it because I was hoping it was someone I’d been waiting to hear from since the day before. I was sorry I did. But it made me laugh after a few minutes:

“Hello?”

[a roomful of telemarketers laughing in background about something] “Yes, hello, may I speak to so-and -so?”

“This is she.”

“Yes, my name is Courtney and I was calling to inform you that we plan to enter your name into the drawing for the BlahBlah XYZ Sweepstakes, which is held every month, and if you’re not drawn we re-enter your name at the end of every month, which qualifies you for the next one and the prize is [some fabulous thing she said too quickly for me to hear].”

“Okay, well…I”

“So all I need to do is verify your info, and then you’re all set, okay?”

“Wait, what’s the catch?”

“The catch is, go screw yourse…” which turns into a fit of giggles before she can finish and click, she’s gone.

I wanted so bad to *69 my phone in hopes of catching the 1-800 number this dumbass chick had called from and ask for the manager so that I could tell them about their beloved Courtney but I thought, ‘Nah,”

A stupid bored telemarketer who has to work on Sunday. I’ve been in that situation before.

But I never was so bold. That girl’s got chutzpah. Too bad she doesn’t use it to her advantage like say, toward getting a better job?

I have no life because that was like, the highlight of my evening. That, and watching Sex and The City: The Complete First Season DVD all over again.

Ahh…timeless, mindless TV.

BTW, I’m going to doing some updates to WWHD soon…so keep your eyes peeled. My last entry about Oprah still makes me chuckle. I hope Michael Moore is having a miserable day because of it. Yeah right…no one reads it…as if his lousily famous ass would read it.

What? You mean I haven’t announced to the world yet about my other baby project, WWHD? Oh. Sorry.

Well, it’s been around since like, last Spring, so read it already.

Ciao!

PS – Contrary to what I just said, I mainly published it for my own amusement. You don’t have to read it if you don’t wanna. Besides, it’s chock full of cusswords and mean hateful things, so it would probably offend just about anyone.

PPS – ‘Lousily’, ha ha! Is there such a word? I kill me.

Ever since HBO’s The Sopranos came out, I’ve always envied Carmella Soprano. Now there’s a broad who’s got it all together.

I know, you’re probably saying, “What the hell are you talking about??! Look at all she has to deal with!” I know! A crazy, filandering, mobster hubby who suffers from depression, anxiety attacks and mother issues, two ungrateful, foul-mouthed teenage brats who take everything for granted, a priest who she can barely trust to help her work on ‘becoming a better Catholic’, and a best friend who can hardly stand to look at her sideways because of her choice in a husband and lifestyle.

How does she do it? How could she possibly cope and not be dead yet?

-She doesn’t need a shrink.

-She’s not PMSing all the time.

-She’s not an alcoholic or habitual gambler (yet), and has no knitting club or similar social activities to keep her sane.

-Finally, she hasn’t tried to make her family miserable by cussing them out left and right.

Why does she make me sick with jealousy? Because she manages. And does so without hurting anyone, least of all herself!

I asked myself, this Carmella Soprano, she must be made of rubber, with nerves of steel, right? Yes. A complete saint!

She busts her ass through all the bullshit, and with grace and nary a drop of sweat: She always brough ‘Ma’ out homemade goodies and visited with her, loves those brats unconditionally, running them all over town for soccer, to the malls, etc., remains a devoted, confessing Catholic, and stands by her man no matter what.

All while keeping a tidy home, her dark roots not-so-dark, a happenin’ wardrobe, and svelte figure.

Come on now…couldn’t we ALL do that, and then some, if we had her money, didn’t have to stay working, and had a Russian maid?

Damn straight.

Extraverted thinking combined with intraverted intuition makes me an ENTJ (Extraverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judging).

The test result page says I am “very dynamic, and may intimidate people with a less enthused spirit.”

Good observation…this clears up why some folks at the office stay away from me.

*Sigh*

Their loss!

Got ski pants? Worked four hours today. Home again, home again, jiggity jog. As for exercise, I am getting plenty more than usual, with this winter weather. I don’t think people realize that although it’s a kind gesture to shovel the sidewalk, it should be a COMPLETED job. See, when the shoveler hasn’t bothered to clear a path, from the end of the walk to the street, it’s a bit frustrating for those of us pedestrians, to have walked all along the length of it, sometimes a block or two, only to find ourselves trapped in the GOD DAMNED SIDEWALK!! Snowbanks as high as your waist, on all three sides. Giganti-mungus. You could try to plow through one of them, with your legs… Got your ski pants on? Um, no…you’re going to work, not to the slopes! Another thing to try would be to back up, get a running start and try to hurdle the sucker, but that would be a feat that not even an accomplished Olympian

would attempt. Ahh, Minnesota winters…

okay, getting to business:

Justin Timberlake – “It’s NOT gonna be ME!”awwww…methinks someone is too STRESSED OUT from touring!!! The snotty-nosed punk NSYNC member is getting a lawsuit filed against him by a 15-year old (are you shocked) for (*gasp!*) harassing her! Actually, that is just the word that the young lady used to describe the incident. The charges are false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. My money’s on NSYNC’s lawyers settling it out of court.

Joke of the week A little girl was playing in the garden when she spotted two spiders mating.

Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?” she asked.

“They’re mating,” her father replied.

What do you call the spider on top, Daddy?” she asked.

“That’s a daddy longlegs.” her father answered.

“So, the other one is a mommy longlegs?” the little girl asked.

“No,” her father replied. “Both of them are daddy longlegs,”

The little girl thought for a moment, then took her foot and stamped

them flat. “Well, we’re not having THAT sort of shit in our garden.”

Yup. They even interviewed me and here is the tell-all.

I am too tired to celebrate, however…I worked 14 hours today, between jobs one and two, got downtown and missed my layover bus. So I stopped in to Gallivan’s, for a beer since the next one was not due for an hour. Turned out to be three beers. Take me drunk I’m home now.

More later, I promise.

The latest findings are in: Far be it known that I never wonder where my visitors are coming from. So naturally, I put up a stat reader/counter thingie. I go check out the reading every now and then, to make sure everything is on the up and up. Sometimes it’s just the regular visitors, keeping abreast on my day to day lee stuff, but sometimes it’s weirdos who come a-callin’. So here, I’ve compiled a list of all the different links that show just what people go lookin’ for and sometimes, whether they like it or not, they wind up at my site.

temp agencies in Minneapolis
guess you could say that since I’ve been to lots of those, this is a very valid search result and should ranked higher than others!

someone searching for cumshots at weblogs.com
no comment.

twisted ankle journal-hike
(? – never been on one of those before)

wife fuck photo iso
I’m not too sure I want to know what this is all about…

burning man pics
Sorry, I’ve never been to Burning Man and I don’t really recall talking about it. I know some people who have but that’s beside the point.

darts funny picturesmust be a new extreme sport? I’ve got funny pictures and I’ve played darts but I’m not altogether sure if this person was looking for funny pictures of darts or for darts in funny pictures.

searching for a street prostitute?
I guess you can find one at this site…god knows where, but .:day lee:. came up as item number 2.

For those of you who are really into strange searches, try going to Disturbing Search Requests and have a hey day.

Well kiddies, that’s it for tonight…I wanted to do a briefing but to be honest, I’ve been loving my new job and also was very busy this holiday weekend. Plus nothing very newsworthy (IMHO) has crossed my desk in the last five days except that Billy Barty died this weekend and so did Victor Borge. I loved Victor’s performances when I was a kid and as an adult. He will be missed by many.

Normally some things in life bring us through emotional rollercoasters.

For me it was this weekend, in particular. I laughed my ass off all Thursday night, and after work I was home just long enough to get the mail and go to bed. On Friday night I got home in time for a bite to eat and then I accompanied my sis and her hubby to the mall, which of course was crowded (god help me–I hate malls AND crowds) The only nice thing about Christmas shopping at the mall is being able to get all the stuff I need from the toy store, B. Dalton, Dayton’s, Sam Goody, Sears, Bath & Body something-or-other all under one roof and in two hours.

Upon my arrival home, I was invited over to a friend’s house for an inpromptu gathering, which consisted of jello shots, exchanging gifts and general merriment that turned into just plain silliness. You see, my friend had made buddy-buddy with the guy that runs the sushi bar downstairs from her place and invited him and his friend up for a visit, so then there were five of us including them. For some reason we ended up tossing down the last of the Budweiser that was in the fridge and then after some good old getting to know you b.s. we played a short but rousing game of charades which had (scarily) morphed into this freaky “Hey, name a movie so some of us can act out a part of it and then you hafta decide who’s version was better” game, ha ha. The night ended with everybody crammed into the couch and loveseat, my friends watching a rented copy of ‘Scary Movie’ on video, and me falling asleep to it. So much for a review from moi.

Today I got up early and dashed off to job numbah two, where I put in a couple hours and received my last check before the holiday.

Now I think something’s wrong with me. I just sat through a chickflick on the Lifetime channel. I bawled. More than is expected of a slightly neurotic, distracted, busy, and otherwise normal, healthy woman of my age. Perhaps it’s nothing, probably just premenstrual, (I hope). ‘Cause these flicks are REALLY reaching, lemme tell you. The first one was that “Fools Rush In” from back in like, ’95 or something, the one with Matthew Perry and Salma Hyek. The other one is on now, that “Mrs Winterbourne” with Shirley Maclaine, Ricki Lake and Brendan Frasier.

I need to go to bed soon and tomorrow I am up early to wrap these damned gifts and try to figure out why my tree is only partially lit. I think there’s a bad bulb in there somewhere.

I’m out ’til later…

P.S. – Why on earth would someone buy this? who knows. who cares?

Seafood Pizza this is an especially yummy alternative to just plain old shrimp cocktail, for your friggin’ holiday parties. Knock yourself out.

Ingredients: 2 pkg (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough 1/4 bunch green onions (chives) 1/2 to 1 whole ripe green pepper 1 pkg (4 ounces) cooked frozen salad shrimp, thawed in refrigerator 1 pkg (1/2 pound) imitation crablegs/pieces or Louis Kemp sea legs/pieces, thawed, cold 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, still cold but slightly soft, don’t use the softened variety 1/2 bottle seafood cocktail sauce, the kind with ground horseradish in it (recommend Crosse & Blackwell)

Preheat oven to 375F.

Chop a couple stalks of green onion and 1 green pepper into coarse pieces and set aside (if you really want to, slice the peppers into pretty rings). Chop crap legs, if using pieces, they should be okay but chop into smaller pieces, if preferred, and set aside.

Open the tubes of crescent rolls, slap them together and form a ball. Flatten with your hands or roll out using pin, into a crust, into ungreased non-stick cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and bake for 14 mins. (only grease pan if using lower fat variety dough). Cool crust all the way, can’t be warm.

Spread thin layer of cream cheese onto crust. Top with thin spreading of cocktail sauce (the kind with the horseradish ground up in it is best). Top with veggies, then crabmeat and shrimp and cut pizza into 2″ squares (the bigger, the messier).

Feeding a crowd? Double everything. Best served immediately, or when toppings haven’t been sitting on crust too long, no more than an hour or two.

* tip: after rolling out crust, poke several times with a fork so it bakes a bit flatter. If you still end up with a puffy crust (it does fall a bit after it cools) you can still fix that: Using a long bread knife (smooth sharp blade, not the kind with the big serrations, like a bagel knife) and slice the crust like you would a cake into layers, into two crusts. This might work better. Flip them so as to use the baked surface as the bottom and the new surace (exposed, where the top was cut off) as your top, for the toppings.

So so so so so happy that I got a job. I can hardly go to bed, I’m so excited. Here is the URL of the company I’m going to work for: www.nonprofitsolutions.com.

Yeah, on Saturday, we made cookies! lots of them…Danish butter cookies, Mexican Wedding Cakes (sometimes called Russian Tea Cakes), Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and Lemon cookies. YUM! I have waaay to many of them, sitting in ziploc bags in my kitchen. I will have to bring some in to work. That’ll get me on people’s good side, right off. Nuttin’ wrong with that (o:

One day…

I’ll sit back and recall to my grandchildren the story of the day I decided to become a spoofer of websites. I have only done a couple of funny sites, one about a cat I used to own and one about a phony toy, but none were as fun and exciting and just plain liberating as this one: It’s my version of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints site, now morphed into a fun (and mean) little Carson Daly tribute, thanks to my imagination. Enjoy it, tell me what you think.

nuz! updates will take place tomorrow. I promise. You’ll have to forgive me for lagging, SOMEONE at weblogs.com decided I wasn’t going to be allowed into my site for over 24 hours this weekend, so that put a damper on my huge plans for news. So so so sorry.

Have a good Monday, people. See ya tomorrow.

PARTIALLY UNEMPLOYED, DAY ONE

Monday, Monday

What can I say? I’ve only just joined the awake world 5 hours ago and still feel asleep…

I decided not keep the appointment I had scheduled for today. I was supposed to visit that college I mentioned before, that I kinda sorta wanna attend. Then I called the cool nutty granola woman at that office in Uptown, where I had an interview last week. When the assistant answered, I took a second to express my undying keen interest in the gig, and hoped out loud for an answer as to whether I got the job. They told me that indeed I had not. Dang. Oh well guess I’ll live through it. Nothing new.

I also can’t decide, whether I should do school during the day and have a night job or stick w/FT days. I still have my PT job, which explains the silly title above.

I’ve made a pot of coffee and now I’v just GOT to get to the store and purchase a pack of cancer sticks before I jones out and fall on the floor. But first!

Fun sites of the day

Happywomenmagazine.com has tips just for you Job hunting gals and go-getters, you betcha. Also visit the main page to find oh-so-many more important features like: Holiday stress releiving ideas, in order to keep that happy smile pasted to your mug this season and all year round!

http://www.squirkle.com/ooze/ – fun word association game. I couldn’t resist hanging out there a bit last night, just for shits and giggles.

Angryman Campaign 2000 Those sick of this ongoing election can speak out online (I’m sure

this is like, the BILLIONTH site devoted to this topic) nonetheless, here is the link to yet another: http://www.angryman.com/

Mystery DateThis chick is fun! if you are really into old 40’s and 50’s girly

stuff like beauty magazines and home ec, run, don’t walk this fun to read mag…for the girlish

Gotta go jump in the shower now and venture out into this cold cold world (low temp of -10F today). Have to go to work too.

10:54pm

saturday. already.

worked four hours. froze nearly to death on commute. got home. had big plans to haul out the fake tree and light it up, do Christmas cards. Instead I surfed and gafawwed at stupid websites. read the news, read some email. now I’m cold and hungry and lonesome so I’m gonna go curl up on the couch wit a samwich and a blanky and watch some dumbass saturday nite tv. Here’s some fun sites of the day:

You’re Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t Such torture…I nearly cried. You’ll be sorry you went and played this game…good distraction for stupid people though.

Rate just how friggin lovey dovey you are!

Romance test: Red Hot Lover or
or Ice Cold Loser? To find out, take this quiz, dammit! Are you more likely to whisper in your lover’s ear: “I like it when you nibble on my neck, baby…” or “yes, I paid the light bill!”

losers dot org

This site, I think most could probably do without. Lists annoying and/or stupid websites by ‘losers’ categorizes them as “Dorks, freaks, rednecks, trekkies, wannabes, punks, greenies…”

etc. Not my idea of fun, but g’head…

And in the “Hollywood Has-been” birthday corner

Guess what everybody? C. Thomas Howell is 33 today! yippee…where the hell is he now?

…back later, taters

11:48pm

Friday was my last day at my FT job.

how liberating it feels to finally be unattached to that conservative corporate palace, that cold pile of bricks…

haha. I just got back from my friends house, she lives in downtown in a converted warehouse, in the center of it is Sawatdee, a Thai/Japanese restaurant…they have a new sushi bar. we sat down and chugged a couple of those new Japanese beers… I think they’re called Sodoromo. It was in a friggin 22 ounce can, for pete’s sakes! so now I’m all feverish and buzzy.

nuz! (Thursday)

Madonna’s McWedding Madonna to get hitched in the Highlands

Hey all.

BBBBRRRRRRR! It got to a blistering and balmy 12 degrees in the Twin Cities today, and it’s only going to get better! Oooh, we’re expecting a high of 15 degrees on Wednesday…can’t wait! Tonight when I got home I turned up the oven to 450 degrees and stood in front of it like a bum would in front of a flaming 55 gallon garbage can in some New York City alley. I was warm and toasty…for a minute. It’s freezing in my apartment! i am gonna have to go get a 3M Window Insulator kit this week. Stopping at KMart on the way home is gonna be a drag, but it’ll pay off soon. Living in Minnesota is sort of like living in Siberia, only the people are nicer. Most of them, anyway.

This week is my last week at my full time job, since I am planning on attending college this spring. Rent and utilities are going to be a bitch if I can only work part time so now I am just pumping up my hours at the PT job and roommate-hunting. Such fun. Wanna live with me? I don’t have any pets, I’ve got cable, and a pullout sofa bed, so you’re all set. I DO snore though. People tell me it’s kind of a whimper/snort/wheeze combination. Dang. That’s gonna cost me a few prospects.

In the midst of all these reality bites, I have actually contemplated telecommuting. That’s right, working from home, just me and my ISP connection. One thing was clear to me, as I surfed along looking at job listing after job listing, and that was the fact that hey! I don’t have to look for a real job, I could simply go running to join the rest of the gang at About.com and be a guide, complete with my own page about the best sushi bars in Knoxville, or proclaim to be an expert on battlebots or even pedicures…I even get my own little doofy picture up in the corner! Right now some of the topics available seem exciting, but not exactly something I could tell folks I was a connoisseur of, like say, -4wheel drive/SUVs-Atlanta, GA-Banking: Canada-Curling-Current Events: India-Dairy Foods (Industry)-Hepatitis-Home Electronics in the U.K.-Jehovah’s Witnesses-Laboratory Supplies/Devices (Industry)-Memphis, TN-Men’s Health

Hey, guys! Is it THAT BAD finding a decent gal pal these days?
Apparently the people at realdoll.com think so. For ONLY $5,749.00, you too can have the girl of your dreams. “always ready & available … provides stress-free companionship.” and claims to be affordable–“less inexpensive than most alternatives” (what KIND of alternatives?!) are the company’s many self-praises. Well, guys, I’m a CHEAP date! Just last night I was completely contented just sitting on the couch with a bag of microwave popcorn and a re-run of some show on the history channel, for pete’s sake. Plus I’m cute, bubbly, have a brain, nice boobs, clear skin, big brown eyes and hell…I’m fun to be around, dammit!

you’ve got crapstarting today, I will be taking the trash out. whatever dumb shit people send me in my email (spam, free this-N-thats), will get spread across the page, on a hopefully regular basis. enjoy.

At http://www.thisproductworks.com, (which by the way, I think is the lamest domain name EVER for a commercial site) they are featuring Androstenone, a product supposedly guaranteed to attract the opposite sex. If nothing else, read the goofy testimonials. Here’s snippets of some:

-“This guy will get you chics!!!!!! He ROCKS! VERY GREAT PRODUCT! IT ACTUALLY WORKS! A+++”

-“Fast delivery, product as advertised. I bought 10 bottles ’cause I ran out already! thanks”

-“PHEROMONE STUFF WORKS!!!! I AM A BABE MAGNET NOW, AND ENJOY GETTING BLONDE CHICS!!!”

[aw, dang! *runs off to walgreens for a bottle of Clairol no. 37* -b]

-“THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! GIRLS HAVE NO RESISTANCE!”
[oh, really? *makes sign of the cross with fingers* -b]

-“My menstrual cycle was so irregular that it required a serious hormonal treatment. But I could not continue the treatment since the medication damaged my liver and raised blood pressure to a dangerous level. Guess what, my cycle became regular for the first time in years after I started the wearing the pheromones.”

I know, I know, I know…everyone and their grandmother’s sister’s nephew’s babysitter has probably already seen this story, but for those of you who haven’t been reading people’s weblogs lately or have been living under a rock, here it is: woman finds chicken head in fast food meal

 12/02/2000
11:17pm early to bed, my ass. I don’t feel so good just now. nothing new, though. I have been feeling crappy off and on, all day.

I put up a table that lists my fave weblogs. it monitors them for me, too. figuring out just exactly where to place the javascript, however, was another issue. for some reason it was hard to decide, but once I got it in I was pretty pleased, whoo hoo! probably the highlight of my day, and that’s the truth

egads!–the new SNL season sucks, hardcore. Why can’t Will Farrell fall off the face of the earth, already?! I miss Phil Hartman and lots of other people. Tracy Morgan is probably the only one on there this year that I like. I must be bored out of my skull right now if the best thing I can think of to talk about is SNL. shit.

I’m kinda pissed off tonight because people make me mad. sometimes my family makes me mad, too. I wonder where some people think they get off in this world, by getting away without returning simple things like affection or kindness and showing gratitude. is it just me, or are these things uncommon these days? hmmm.

8:57pm oh jesus. I’m back, but only because I needed to wake myself up a little bit. my nephew has blue marker all over his lips now. I should have had him put away the coloring stuff before I put the video tape in, ’cause we were sitting there watching the movie when I dozed off for a sec, to wake up and find him with the marker to his mouth. his mom’s gonna be pretty p-o’ed. haha, he’s kinda funny lookin’ now.

damn, this is funny. someone went searching for ‘street prostitute’ at lycos.com and the results that came up included my site. ha ha.

toodles for now…gonna put the boy to bed and go watch South Park.

7:44pm

such pain. I am bleeding to death.

I enjoy being a girl.

all month long.

early to bed tonight…I need to rest up a bit since I have to work tomorrow.

my nephew is over here, I’m babysitting him for the night. right now we’re coloring with markers then we’re going to watch Walt Disney’s Cinderella videotape. I’ll be back later.

let us:
observe what AIDS is doing to this world.
educate ourselves and those around us.
remember those we have lost.
and respect all those we live among that are affected somehow with AIDS/HIV.

Today is World AIDS Day

So I have no personal entry.

I am using this day to observe all the important things about AIDS/HIV that we all take for granted. To keep educating myself on how important an issue this is. How close to home it needs to come to all of us, no matter how far away we really THINK it is. I ask that you do the same, in remembrance of ALL those we have lost, all around the world:

black and white
male and female American, Latin, Mexican, Cuban, European, Asian.

gay and straight

friends and lovers, mothers and fathers sisters and brothers, sons and daughters

HUMANS.

fellow children of God.

people you knew and loved…

through this epidemic, ALONE.

Thank you for your time and for respecting my thoughts today. Please take a moment to visit one of the links below, to support AIDS/HIV causes or to learn more and help others learn as well. World AIDS Day is having its 13th Anniversary this year and the theme is “AIDS: Men Make A Difference”
