Here Comes A Storm
Kicked out of Girl Scouts at 12. I am definitely the poster girl for Does Not Play Well With Others. I once named a cat after the Siouxsie & The Banshees song Peekaboo. I like to think of myself as "vintage" goth and if you call me old, I will fork you in the eye. I have recently decided I am too stupid to date. Self realization is da bomb. Pet Peeves of the moment: People without basic manners. |

Ola people! I feel better. Ish. Still have the darting head pain that threatens migraine but it is better. Working all weekend so it better be better cause it has no choice. Quickie post as it is the second to last day of the month aka deadline time for me at the office. I have been tagged by 108th and Miss Frou Frou and those MeMe will be coming at you later tonight. In the mean time, useless shit for j00!Attention Fellow Aquarians. We are supposed to learn how to say "No." HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)Your subconscious mind may be telling you something you really need to know, but it's easier not to listen. If you doubt yourself now, you may try to convince others of your worth by driving yourself too hard, only to end up overcommitted and overextended. There is a lot happening all around you and you must create healthy boundaries. Start by trusting your instincts, especially if you need to say "no." ...

How To Dismantle The Ridiculous Length Of An Album Title
2007-06-28 19:24:00
***Scroll Down for Thursday Thirteenage***Never let it be said that U2 fans don't have a sense of humor! This site link comes to you courtesy of the Kidlet and the use of U2 is courtesy of your's truly. Here is a tiny preview for you. I am falling off the couch looking up random shit on that site. “Eheheheheh, that dude's name is "Boner." Heheheheh, BOIIIING!”~ Beavis on Bono “These guys are from England and who gives a shit?!”~ Casey Kasem on U2 Bono Vox: Dake's Mouthpiece (Electron scanning microscope)You Two is the sequel to U and was formerly known as U-Boat, Feedback, U-Lalalalaaa, Goo-ratch-a-loogie, Hype, U3, U4, U-seless, The Letter U and the Numeral Two, Bono and those other guys, and Ireland Is Our Marketing Niche. At one stage, rumours abounded that they may also have been founding members of Baccara, the people responsible for the classic opera, "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie". The makers of the U series have now confirmed there will be no U5, but they will start filmi ...

Thursday Thirteen #19 - You Are A Handsome Devil. What's Your Name?
2007-06-28 00:04:00
Grosse Pointe Blank kicks so much ass. Trying to think of a few memorable lines from it becomes damn nearly silly. The entire movie is filled with classic lines. Which, in addition to the fact that it has John Cusack, ranks it in my top movies, evah. In fact it makes the desert island 10 movies you would have to have list quite handily.So for today's Thursday Thirteen here are just 13 of my favorite quotes and/or series of lines from the movie. But remember, kids. John Cusack is dangerous and exposure to John should not be taken lightly!Debi - So what's your business? Martin - Professional Killer. Debi - Do you get dental with that? Debi - Hey, I know everybody's coming back to take stock of their lives. You know what I say? Leave your livestock alone. Kick back and relax, and ponder this: Where are all the good men dead- in the heart or in the head? Debi - If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you...it's, well, broken.[the Ultimart has just been blown up] Martin ...

Scream If You Want It, Cause I Want It More
2007-06-26 12:56:00
Well Mister Migraine has been reduced to more of a dull roar at this point. I have those funky darts of pain that say, "Hey I am still here!" so I decided a day on the couch without small child and with the right medication was called for. Of course it is gorgeous out today. The people of Oregon can thank me for that as it will turn to shit again tomorrow when I feel better :p I do need to go to the store, dammit. I did not have it in me to do that on the way home yesterday. Must get Diet Coke. In other fun headache inducing drama, my net connection has been fuxored all day. Drops me constantly. C'est la Vie. Watching Little Children. Good movie but jebus, so NOT perky. Interesting take on the whole vigilante mentality. Kate Winslet is amazing as usual. Easy to see why she was nominated. The only thing I find odd about is that somehow we are supposed to think of her as less than pretty. Which is ridiculous. Sign me up to me "less than pretty" like Kate, mmk?But after this movie I thi ...

The Drugs Don't Work
2007-06-25 10:46:00
*cringes*I hate migraines. I particularly hate them when they ebb and peak and ebb and peak. I can throw enough drugs at it to get it down to the Just A Bad Headache level but the fucker comes back. Either that or I am having the rebound headache from hell. I have no Midrin and I have no motivation to go steal some from Mom. Ex's GF is supposed to come pick kidlet up but I have attempted to get in touch with them and save her a trip. I am going to have to go to the store later one, and I might as well take kidlet then. We are both still fried from Rocky.It was a shit ton o' fun though. Kidlet got de-virginized in classic RHPS fashion and the cast were fun. Not a lot of audience props participation which really, frankly, sucked. Why go to Rocky and not bring props? The lines have not changed much but the Ex BF variety would be pleased to know that the "bannister is lucky" line has migarted north since I last saw Rocky. Oh and did we have a row of clueless twats sitting behind us. I am ...

I Fell In To A Burning Ring Of Fire

Whoo hoo! Me and Cleo baby! Ok, I brought the marshmallows, who has the Hershey's and the Graham Crackers?!The Second Level of Hell -You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!Here is how you matched up against all the levels:LevelScorePurgatory (Repenting Believers)LowLevel 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Very LowLevel 2 (Lustful)Very HighLevel 3 (Gluttonous)HighLevel 4 (Prodigal and Av ...

Keep On A Rockin Me Baby
2007-06-21 21:42:00
I rock. I really do. You see I know this because not one, but TWO of my favorite girlie bloggers say so! I even get a banner! Here is what these two lovely ladies (although I might be using that term loosely....) have to say about moi.From Desert Songbird - Starrlight is wonderfully quirky, slightly wicked, and always entertaining. Supremely knowledgeable about music, her posts are like an invitation to a party. A single mom, I suspect her daughter has inherited Starr?s rapier wit and savvy.And From Belle - Starr is another awesome girl blogger. I feel so fortunate to have come across. She and I share so much in common we have a running joke that we were separated at birth. And indeed, we could be sisters! We have mommyhood in common, as well as most musical and movie preferences as well. And she is moving closer to me in a few years! Get ready, mama! I will be visiting you often, as I escape Alabama anytime I have the chance! You called it Desert, The Kidlet is rather zippy like me. I ...

Your Love Is Better Than Chocolate
2007-06-19 09:30:00
Totally posting with our rhyme or reason today. Slept well but woke up weirded out which you know means I had fucked up dreams and mercifully don't remember them. Which is good. I like a good internal defense mechanism.Guess what I found out yesterday? The Clinton Street Theater is doing Rocky Horror Picture Show as all ages again! Oh Happy Days! That means that this Saturday night I will be doing the Timewarp again with my little lampshade wearing Rocky virgin daughter. Who is, I might add, TOTALLY beside herself at the prospect of seeing it in a theater. RHPS is her all time favorite movie.I was also thrilled to see that the newest Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum book is out and I have a coupon that means I can get it for 14 bucks! Hells yeah.Speaking of Hell, watched Hell's Kitchen last night and I am totally rooting for the Waffle House chicka from Atlanta. Biased I am.And on a final note, I would like to say that I have found both Meaning and A Message over at Bagwine. And a scar ...

Every Day I Write The Book
2007-06-18 09:29:00
A while back I was invited by Diogenese to participate in the "Why I Blog" project over at QuasiFictional. There are a lot of great responses over there and I was flattered to be asked why I pollute the cybersphere with my rambles. Head on over and take a look and if you want to participate click here.Few Rambles here for you I collected over the course of my weekend. First off...Attention Johnny Depp Lovers. Rumor patrol has it that he is the first choice to play.....Michael Hutchence in a bio pic. Talk about wet dream material. Depp playing Hutch. It would be interesting. There is a likeness there. Short of Bono circa 87ish, I can't think of anyone else who really looks or has the Hutch vibe. In other Music as a movie news, I am frickin champing at the bit for Control the bio pic of Ian Curtis lead singer of Joy Division. Anton Corbijn directed it. You all probably would know him best for his lifetime of U2 pictures including the iconic Joshua Tree shots. Anton knew Ian and actually ...

Get This Party Started Right Now
2007-06-16 13:37:00
Yesterday was the last day of school and I don't know who is more excited, me or Kidlet. I love love love not having to drive on my lunch hour. I can treadmill! Woot!So I picked Miss Thang up from school at 11:15 and we went to Sandoval's for Mexican food lunch celebration. In addition to making into the Talented and Gifted Program for next year, Kidlet was also given President's Award For Educational Excellence. Even W and Laura think my kid is the shiz. Needless to say we are all mucho proud of the Kidlet who is all "aww shucks, leave me alone" on the matter. The plan was for highlights at Ziva and the plan called for PINK. Had some time to kill before her hair appointment so we stopped off downtown at her old school in the Pearl District. And ya know what? I don't think they recognized her! The school was locked but we could see them having a meeting and me thinks they are clueless as to who was waving at them. Of course she looks TOTALLY different than she did even in Sept at ...

Thursday Thirteen #17 - You Could Tell I Was No Debutante
2007-06-13 23:16:00
Turn around being fair play and all that this weeks Thursday Thirteen feature 13 great front women of rock! First off, if you thought the guys were hard cause there are so many, you should sit down and ponder the ladies. No not like that, gentlemen :PWhen I got ready to do this list it totally hit me how many of the truly great female singers were solo artists. Aretha honey, I am looking at you. Bands that are fronted by women, that narrows our field just a little bit. In some cases the ladies in question went on to be bigger outside of the band than as a front women (Tina) and some so over shadowed the band they were in that they are essentially thought of as a stand alone artist (that would be Pearl.)But I think I have made some fine selections. Although I admit I cheated on the Bee Hive twins, but hey. I didn't wanna dis Cindy, mmk? All names are linked to the You Tube video for the song selection I have chosen. Took me hours, people, go click something. The list is varied from ear ...
