singing in the rain.

We just HAD to go out for Mexican food.

Chips and salsa would make us FEEL better.

OMG we need to get out of the house.

Irony

I have been away... life has been demanding and I refuse to comment beyond that. Buy me a chocolate bar the next time you see me.

But I am back with something so baffling and strange that I had to share....

This is a hipster's ironic wet dream.

Jamie Foxx + Ron Howard + Crystal product shots + Jake Jill-an-haul (however you spell his name) + dancing pandas = uh... am I getting punk'd?

Awkward.

Dear friends. Donkey and I had a Valentine's Day get together. Things got MAD AWKWARD when someone mentioned sexual preferences.

AWKWARD!!!

I told everyone about this funny video and never shared it.... I am really digging the College Humor/Humour show on VH1MTV (I can't tell them apart) and this was the promised video that I forgot to find the link to.... enjoy....

Is it wrong that this made me hungry for KMac's chocolate cake?

I want one!!!

Can someone get me this adorable plump asian friend? I LURVE him.

Oh Yeah! Oh No...

This is dedicated to Donkey. He knows why this is funny.

Dancing Queen

This is dedicated with love and affection to my Dancing King... Big Couzin P. Cause he is olive-skinn'd, funky and free.

I WANT ONE....

GUS

I talked to the Ambassador East hotel this morning and the front desk guy was named Gus....

I like the name Gus.... Future dog name? Kids? A name for KMac's impressive skull and rabbit collection of jewelery?

I "goog'd" and this is what I found:

Plot summary for Gus (1976) The California Atoms are in last place with no hope of moving up. But by switching the mule from team mascot to team member, (He can kick 100 yard field goals!) they start winning, and move up in the rankings, Hurrah! The competition isn't so happy

Pepper

I had a moment while getting coffee this morning.

In the kitchen they have coffee, tea, sugar, cream, cutlery, plates, napkins, the remains of my dignity, salt and pepper.

I misread the pepper packet and thought is said "Peper" which freaked me out. I wondered what a low-grade "Peper" would be made of:

- 10% real black pepper to retain that taste;

- pencil shavings;

- old man beard shavings;

- cardboard ground up and dyed;

- tobacco;

- dandruff;

- panda toe nails.

Did you know that black pepper can be used to heal cuts? Put it on a fresh wound and it will stop the bleeding and heals the wound and minimize scars.

Did you know that black pepper killed Jimmy Hoffa? He was using it to increase circulation and it caused too much circulatory stimulation and it aged him like Benjamin Button IN REVERSE.

Kayne

For Donkey, who said he hasn't seen any of Kayne's new videos....

Ancient pictures...

Was redirected to a website that converts new pictures into grainy old pictures... wow... if it wasn't 4:47 this could have been a big time-waster for me...

The site is in Japanese, but it is easy to understand....

Question?

I think it is a legitimate question.

The answer... Elton John. Rocketman.

"and I think it's going to be a long long time...."

See my previous post, I've been listening to oldies all day today and it is penetrating my brain (in a lovely way)... I just heard "Sweet Home Alabama" and it gave me a flashback of Big Cousin D throwing that chorus into all the other songs that were played at my brother's wedding last weekend.... It actually made sense at the time.

Emotions

My boss is convinced that our team would benefit from listening to music through the day, perhaps to alleviate the terrible mood we are all in or maybe he read in a "management" book that music in the office = productivity.

But do we get an XM account? No.
Do we get a PC to play music online? No.
Do we get an ipod dock? No.

We have to listen to music on the radio. Does anyone know how terrible music is on the radio these days... stations like The Mix only play 5 songs and I have now officially heard "Let It Rock" and "Just Dance" enough times to associate pop music with the misery of working. I want to cry when I hear Taylor Swift singing about Romeo and Juliet.... I die a little on the inside everytime I hear Pink talk about losing her husband and being an annoying whore in general (sorry KMac). The sick thing is that after news surfaced that Rihanna was beat up by Chris Brown this horrid station started playing "Disturbia" once an hour. I counted. They don't play "Umbrella" and they don't played "Stop the Music", they play the song about being obsessively in love and not being able to think start and make logical decisions..."Hmm... my boyfriend bites my face in a not-sexy way. I should love him more!"

So this morning I threw a temper tantrum and ranted about all of the above. We found an oldies station and I feel a lot better. I heard this song and it got stuck in my head.... Happy Valentine's Day!




And of course, this made me think of Mariah.... Love you B-Town!

Kittens. Inspired by Kittens.

The best line in this video?

"I am her mommy"
whispering "No, she's not"

Awkward!

Ginger

I hate the taste of ginger. My husband is afraid of gingers. This is why we love. I think I have succumbed (oh dear) to that familiar pattern of absorbing all the likes and dislikes of my husband because when I saw this pictorial on The Daily Mail (more on that later) that was one woman's attempt to highlight the beauty of the traditional UK redhead...and I was kind of scared.

As for The Daily Mail... It is the worst, I know. It is one of my guilty pleasures (along with Sean Paul and peanut butter and maple syrup toast).

Craigslist - you can get ANYTHING here!

Here is a posting from Craigslist that cracked me up. Can I get a time machine to transport me to 2pm this afternoon when I decided to get that treacherous 2nd cup of coffee that is now burning a hole in my stomach.


Wanted: time machine DESPARATE!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2009-01-12, 5:53PM MST

Desperately need a time machine to take me back 6 weeks in time, plus or minus a day. If you have a time machine and are willing to let me borrow it, or know of someone with an impending trip back in time, please let me know ASAP!

I will pay big bucks to have myself warned to NOT sleep with that tramp at the One and Only Bar on the Boulevard.

Tell me that she is very, VERY fertile that night in question, and has a whopping 3 STDs that I will get if I copulate with her.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THIS MESSAGE!!!

I WILL WRITE YOU A BLANK CHECK IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES!

Key things that will let the me in the past know you are for real:

*Tell me that you know about the rubber ducky incident

*Tell me that you know that I pissed in my friends pool last week, when he was in it.

*Tell me that no matter how hard I try, the lesbian at Barnes and Noble will NEVER go for it, no matter how many sex books I ask her opinions on.

If I still doubt you- use this one-----

*Mention that you know I made out with my cousin when we were drunk at a kegger last summer- NO ONE KNOWS THIS BUT US TWO!!

VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THIS MESSAGE!!!

Chun Li

I know two boys that will be first in line to see this movie.

Fur Baby

I miss my fur baby....

REEEEMIX

Green Apples

So much has happened in the 5 days... too much drama to re-live and I have no desire to get into... maybe one day you will buy me a drink and I will whine about my feelings. I like gin.

Here are some random thoughts:
1) The best revenge to dish out to an idiotic boss is to find something better and tell him to suck it.
2) I am still dealing with disappointment... but I am dealing with it by helping those that let me down. I don't know why I am turning my cheek and I am even more sad that others are telling me I am crazy for being so forgiving... I don't want to be mean and I don't want to be manipulated and there is a fine line between the two.
3) I love coming home. Mom makes me grilled cheese sandwiches and I watch Coronation Street with my Dad.
4) I am sad about Ruby Room closing, it was a great space for yoga and I am sad that I will not get to have my weekly sessions with my Chicago Family. My cousin would have made it the hip new place to go, if only he was given the chance.
5) I found a video I took of my husband enjoying a green apple and it made me laugh in these stressful times.
