OUCH.
What would ever possess someone to inspire them to have 1900 body piercings? I’m sorry, but that is just wrong on so many levels…
Guilty Pleasure … Well, Sort Of…
Guess what I’m watching?!? Jesus Christ Superstar! I would call it a guilty pleasure, but it just seems wrong to call a movie about Jesus a guilty pleasure.
What’s the buzz … tell me whatsa happenin’…
Yeah, I’m going to sing along with every song that I know. And maybe by the end I’ll [...]
More Gmail Invites…
I have invites to give away. If you have commented here before (on other posts), and you need one – tell me why and where to send it to. Or heck, just leave a comment. You guys never leave comments anymore, and it’s getting really lonely around here. Considering I leave [...]
Welcome to The Jade Nightingale – Unique Handpainted Yarns
The Jade Nightingale – Unique Handpainted Yarns – Such beautiful yarn, it almost makes me want to learn how to knit! (Almost.)
We Might As Well Dance…
I received this via e-mail yesterday. I don’t know if someone really wrote this letter to Bertha or not, or if the author was really 83, or if someone just made up a fantastic letter with a lot of good advice and passed it on. None of that really matters though, because it [...]
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep…
For days, maybe even weeks, all I have wanted to do is sleep. I can get 10-12 hours of sleep a night, and I still want more sleep.
Today, I’ve discussed with almost everyone I’ve talked to my dilemna with this sleep issue.
Normally, I would think that I might be depressed. I mean, really [...]
Don’t Porn and Drive…
Man Gets Jail Time For Playing Porn In Car
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — A New York judge is putting the brakes on one man’s porn-to-go.
Andre Gainey has been ordered to spend three weekends in jail. He was busted in February after police noticed there was a porno movie playing on the DVD system in his Mercedes.
Officers say [...]
Not Reality…
By the way, when you see the Texas Delegates Arriving In NYC For RNC wearing those crazy-ass outfits, including custom-made cowboy boots with (*shivver*) “Bush 2004″ embroidered on them, please know that we do NOT dress like that in Texas. Ever. I just wanted to clear that up before anyone got the wrong [...]
The Memories…
Last night I watched the closing ceremonies, and throughout they played clips of the memorable moments in Athens. I have a confession … it made me teary-eyed. Yep, there is no point in denying it – I’m a big-time Olympic sap.
I feel better for confessing it.
Crafty Goodness Can Begin…
I returned the busted up table to Office Max today. For some reason, the manager decided to be amusing and make some joke about how he thought I stole it because they had one missing at their last inventory. What is UP with service people thinking that their stupid jokes like that [...]
Just What I Wanted…
I’m working on organizing all of my crafty things. I want them all together, once and for all. Easy to find, easy to use. I figure that I’m more likely to use crafty things if I can find them, right?
I went to Office Max today to pick up a nice new table [...]
Jewelry Making Supplies…
Ornamental Resources, Inc. is a supplier of beads: glass beads, stone beads, bone beads, shell beads, and metal beads. They also have bracelet blanks. iBead.com has goodies too!
The Fine Print…
When I started watching Two and a Half Men last fall, I got hooked on something other than the show. I got hooked on the Chuck Lorre Vanity Cards at the very end. For just a flash, there is a screen full of text. Thanks to TiVo, I could pause the screen [...]
Note to Self…
Note to self: Call Crest. Ask profound questions. Get answers.
(That translates in to saying that I need to remember to call Crest. I’m curious to find out if there are corn derivatives in their toothpaste, since Jason is allergic to corn.)

Trump-Size Deal for ‘Apprentice’
Kwame, from “The Apprentice,” has made a Trump-Size Deal of his own. $3.8 billion. Go Kwame!
Adam Sucks…
I just finally watched the “Average Joe: Adam Returns” series that has been sitting on the TiVo since March. I adored Adam in the first season of Average Joe. I cheered for Adam throughout his own special series. But in the end?
Adam sucks.
(Yeah, if that’s a spoiler for you, I’m sorry. [...]
What Disturbs Me about the Olympics…
You know what disturbs me the most about the Olympics? It’s not Paul Hamm’s squeaky little girl voice. It’s not the fact that Michael Phelps needs to pull his swimsuit up because we’re all tired of seeing butt cleavage. It’s not even the “high speed super slow motion” thing, which now makes [...]
Say What?
While watching the Olympics, specifically the gymnastics events, they keep announcing that they are showing replays in “High Speed Super Slow Motion”.
How on earth is it high speed and super slow motion at the same time? Huh?
I’ve just wondered that every time I hear it.
