Ten seconds in Purgatory.
I am recovering from a head cold and an upset stomach. The last goddamn thing I needed to see/hear was the outgoing president's farewell speech. Even ten seconds of it, which I stumbled upon when tuning into "Countdown." I don't know if it's because of the shuddery hiss that escaped my person at the first glimpse of THAT SMIRK on its face, but ( Read more... ) -

Well, sure. Why not? Here goes...

more flabbering about acting and high school guidance counselors
My singing partner and I finally, after a year and a half of work, put up our version of "Class" from Chicago in our acting class on Sunday, and despite a whole slew of technical difficulties involving two broken CD players and a digital voice recorder that no one could hear, we brought down the house. Yay, us! Must be something about a couple of ( Read more... ) -
A German-Italian-Irish-French-American lady was walking down the street...
...and some neighborhood street punks started catcalling her. Such charming phrases as, "Work it; work that fine ass, lady" were uttered. When the leader of the pack noticed the German-Italian-Irish-French-American lady was smoking a cigarette, he said, "Miss, you need to give that shit up, yo. Smoking's nasty, yo." Chagrined, the German- ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Untimely Passing
I was really shaken up when Princess Di was killed in that accident. I was visiting a friend, and we were combing fleas off her cat - I remember this because I was in the bathroom filling a jar with soapy water, and my friend started hollering from the living room, "Get in here! Get in here! They just said Princess Di was in this horrible accident ( Read more... ) -
Plastics, Benjamin! (or, I Plead Incompetence)
Before we get started, I'd like to send hugs and get-well vibes to my dear friend the Ocelot, who is enduring the aftereffects of an appendectomy. Recover with all due speed, my feline compadre! We who are about to rant salute you.
I've been killing the considerable insolvent time on my hands this joyous holiday season by crocheting a Delirium ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Little Women
Ooh. Tough call. I like them both. I think I more closely resemble Jo, because she was tomboyish; I'm smart, but not particularly independent. Amy was, like Meg, the pretty one, and I've always wished I could be pretty but I've never been able to pull it off.

Canned cranberry sauce, with creamed pearl onions in a close second.

on second thought...
Auuuggghhh. Well, it doesn't look like my fears of utopia/11th circle of Disney hell are going to be realized any time soon. This post from Editor & Publisher just freaks me right the hell on out. Jeezis.

Writer's Block: Surviving the Holiday Hustle & Bustle
Perhaps it doesn't. Perhaps it exacerbates my already militantly anti-chipper/cheerful proclivities. You're making an ass out of you and an awful lot of me's, whoever "you" are.
I'll stop being a twat for a second and own up to having found a complete Thanksgiving recipe and shopping list on WeightWatchers.com. I forwarded it to my dad and it met ( Read more... )
