ugh.
do you ever get tired of feeling like you are the biggest fuckup ever? no matter what you do, bad shit keeps happening -- and will continue to do so FOREVER? crap.
i know what you are searching for online ...
so i log onto statcounter this morning to view my blog stats and i can see how people are finding my blog. well, one lucky reader came across my blog by googling the following:
"pussycat dolls sweating"
AWESOME! and, because i like to touch on EVERY important topic on my blog, this lucky reader found where i berated the pussycat dolls for covering "tainted love."
"pussycat dolls sweating"
people that search for images of the pussycat dolls sweating? that's my demographic.

saw the movie...
"sicko" last night, and i cannot adequately convey my anger at our government for not providing universal health care.
i once had a conversation with someone who felt that it was not our government's responsibility to take care of us and our friends/family/neighbors, but each person who can help, should.
sadly, i explained to him, not every person in this country was like that.
knowing that with a new job comes a new 90-day waiting period for health coverage, it makes me nervous. any mysterious symptoms arise and they'll be checked out...... but not until November 1.
and to anyone who thinks that universal healthcare is evil, find a Canadian and ask them how many times they've had medical bills sent to collection agencies because they couldn't keep up on payments.
can't get into it now. am still seething and my stomach is in knots over it.

post 1472
that's a lot of posts, by god. some of them were just photos, some of them blog quizzes or memes. some were filled with gob and gobs of words and phrases and sentences and typos and the like. one thousand, four hundred, seventy two posts. a sliver of life -- a very, very large sliver at that.
tomorrow is the first day of my newspaper re-beginning, and i'm pretty excited. i'm not great at a lot of things, but i'm a whiz at Quark and can kick layout ass in that regard. mostly i'm just glad to be doing something i know i'm good at and that is all that is expected of me. gone are the days of fighting off the kool-aid sips and having to hide the pills in my pillowcase after i've pretended to swallow them. it's a nice sense of freedom.
here's the rub: i miss some people from my old gig, but that is the way it goes.
i need to start making snidecards again. i was really excited about it at first, and then felt as though i had no time to do any of them...THAT will be remedied, by god. one of these days we'll have a separate snidecard site and it will be wonderful and life-changing to everyone who sees it. i'll keep you posted.
as for tomorrow, i need to start putting stuff up in my cube, give it that ol' kari touch. (NIN poster, trout stapler, xray photo of bird, etc.) i'll post a photo of the completed project.

yay for visitors!
and no, i'm not talking about UFOs (although i'm sure i would have a blog post entitled "yay for visitors!" if there were UFOs in my backyard)...i'm talking about....
amy and rob! (center is my super-awesome kiddo)
i've known amycita since i was about 1 1/2 years of age... she and her sisters are practically kinfolk.
saturday's agenda: breakfast with amy and rob, followed by a viewing of the new Harry Potter movie with the kiddo, perhaps?

pop culture winnas!
i'm watching the VH-1 pop culture challenge show and i think i've figured out something -- people in my age group can name any, ANY 80s band, song, album, lyrics.. ANY. but if you put anything in front of us that is from anything in the time frame of Present-past few years, we have NO IDEA. at all. it's as though once the puberty passed and we no longer listened to Casey Casem's Top 40 countdown, we just stopped caring.
for example: i saw questions about album titles and i knew Nevermind, Appetite for Destruction, She's So Unusual and Pyromania (Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Cyndi Lauper and Def Leppard) but the one i didn't get.... an album from Outkast, and even now i don't recall the title.
so if the key to being a pop culture champion is to know about the crap that is out there now, i'm okay with relinquishing my crown.

a bad smell.
we live near the airport and have planes overhead often, so if i smell something that smells strange, i assume it's coming from outside.
however, i noticed that a smell tonight wasn't coming from outside. i walked into the kitchen and opened the dishwasher that was in the drying phase...a plastic spoon had fallen from the top rack down below the bottom rack and ONTO THE HEATER COIL, thus emitting a horrible melting plastic smell from the dishwasher vent.
ICK. i feel unwell.
so, anyone wanna clean the coils in my dishwasher? i can pay you nothing but respect...but respect you shall have.

day one: not too shabby
i spent three hours in the new office today, filling out paperwork, meeting coworkers and acquainted with my computer. it's always the same sort of process and i should be used to it by now, but it's always kind of scary. i'm not terribly good at meeting new people, so it makes it tough to give off that "kick-ass, take names" persona that i like to display.
the new schedule is definitely something i'm okay with -- although i will never again be able to leave town on a weekend, i reckon i'll be fine with the trade-off for more kiddo time.
i've been slacking in seeing movies, and here's my updated list of movies i still need to see:
• hot fuzz (is this still at the cheap theater?)
• sicko
• waitress
• mr. brooks (yes, brian, i WILL see it eventually)
• transformers
• license to wed (it's JIM! i can't help myself!)
• harry potter (but i'll wait until i can take the kiddo to this)
• 1408 (but that can wait until the cheap theater)
anything else i should see?

DUDE what a week!
the happy couple, sara and darren! congrats, kids!
abbey and dust at the reception.
first dance of the new couple.
ahhh, the happy couple a few days prior...
no amount of sunscreen can keep me from burning.
my kid was the BEST GUEST BOOK ATTENDANT EVER!
shane actually whittled a spatula for food! go shane!
abbey with her aunt sara and uncle darren.
this is darren's youngest sister in a photo that abbey took...abbey definitely has her dad's photography eye, b/c this photo is AMAZING.
now here's some ACTION shots from the drive back to minneapolis!
serene, you say? now imagine seeing this for 500 miles. yeah.
you'll see a few of these on the roadside.
i DID take this while driving!
this antenna may give the illusion that there is cell phone coverage in the sticks. that would be incorrect.
almost home. ALMOST.
for some reason i'm unable to type in a title for this post. i think that's just fine, since it would be something generic like "going home."
in about an hour we'll be packing up the car, checking the air in the tire that has a slow leak (unless you drive all day at 80 mph, in which case the leak is faster...oh crap...) and, if you are like me, car singing like you are a total rock star. i woke up earlier than i needed to and for that, i fear i will pay dearly in about two hours. i'll just pump up the husband with some caffeine and hope for the best, i think.
i'm looking forward to posting some photos later this evening... we've had a really great time and i want to wish sara and darren all the best -- you guys are the greatest!
time to pack and choke down a box of caffeine pills.

vacation winding down...
just hanging out in the hotel in minot whilst awaiting the gift opening, enjoying some incredibly crappy tv and the lovely air conditioning after an exceptionallly hot and muggy saturday. the wedding and reception/dance were fantastic and it's been lovely to have a few days out of town before starting the new gig. here's a few photos from this week, and there are many more to follow...
crap. nevermind. this internet is too effing slow to upload anything. at all.
so.... the movie that is on? Coyote Ugly. have i ever seen this before? not a bit. but i can tell that this small-town girl who is trying to prove herself as a songwriter is going to be the best scantily-clad barmaid EVER.
and i want a brownie for breakfast. who can bring me a brownie right this second?

quick update!
after a few days of travel and many a beer, i have a quick update for you all! you can stop crossing your fingers now, as i have successfully secured a gig with Sun Newspapers as a Design Editor, beginning this coming week. the hours are great and the work is something i can do with my eyes shut, SO that will be a good move for me and mine.
tomorrow is sara and darren's wedding, so today is filled with wedding prep type stuff and general chaos. kiddo has been with her grandpa the past few days and i'm REALLY REALLY excited to see her today!
i'll have gobs of photos to post once i'm back in town, but for now let me say THANK YOU to everyone who crossed their fingers and other appendages on my behalf. you are all my homies.

updated: STILL watching Family Jewels
i am! and it's wonderful and funny and i may follow this marathon with NICK & JESSICA! i can't help myself.
i'll be out of town for a few days and probably not able to do much blogging from afar, but i'll return with plenty of photos and even more mosquito bites.
just finished removing a tick from dixie's ear (or rather, pointing out a tick on her ear to dustin and watching him remove the tick) and giving her a bath.
now, for the rest of the night, do i:
a) watch the rest of the Family Jewels marathon (it runs until 11 p.m.)
b) laundry
c) unload/load the dishwasher
d) all of the above
because i am a MODERN WOMAN who can multi-task like a ROCK STAR, the answer is d, all of the above. because that's the way i roll, bitches.

my vote for best reality tv series...
Gene Simmons Family Jewels. SERIOUSLY! he and his family are fucking hilarious. it's a marathon day and i shall sit and enjoy this marathon. all. day. long.
what in the...???
so i've had really strange dreams lately. two nights ago the following happened whilst i slumbered:
• one of our cats had kittens. but not small kittens, kittens her size. and then she also birthed a teddy bear and a piece of poster board that, upon being birthed out, unfolded into a huge, wall-sized piece of poster board.
• after the labor, i picked up the mother cat and it was a baby, but a weird baby that looked like a doll with a huge head that had a cone shape to it. but since the cat/weird babydoll had so much in it to birth, the cone head was flopped over with excess skin after birthing so much of what was inside.
note to self: no more eating pickle and cheese sandwiches before bed. i mean it.

agenda for a saturday night?
HOT FUZZ at the cheap theater! hurrah!
*UPDATE*
actual saturday night plan: JACKASS the movie! hurrah!
*UPDATE*
actual saturday night plan: JACKASS the movie! hurrah!
things i should get done before leaving town
so in an effort not to lose my mind and become overwhelmed with details, i make lists. and since it's close to 2 a.m., i'm using this quality "i can't fall back to sleep" time to make that list.
and when i make a list, i rarely ever reference it again. this is just a good way for me to get it the hell out of my head and into writing so i can simply be done with it.
get:
tent (from sarah m.)
sunglasses
something to wear to wedding (pref. a shirt that works well with long brown skirt)
pack:
lawn chairs
blankets
pillows
bug spray
sunscreen
towels
clothes, etc.
toilet paper
pills (nothing illegal, folks)
cell phone charger (even though i get no cell service in ND)
laptop and stuff (laptop bag)
tent
*make sure that power adapter is in car*
mindless movies to watch on laptop when it's 2 a.m., i'm awake and there is no wireless connection
camera/rechargeable batters and charger/download cable
see how much there is to remember??? i might have to actually reference this list.

cherries are the best fruit ever.
it's true. and i just ate 75,000 of them. (okay. maybe 20.)
ahh, the changes that life offers. one event leading to another that leads to another that brings you to a point where you realize, "HOLY FUCK THIS IS HUGE" and all you can focus on is what to wear.
chapters coming to a close, new ones beginning but they are Choose Your Own Adventure stories and damn it, i don't know where this one goes! ack!
more to come.

the time for me to show off any awesomeness i may possess ...
is tomorrow. and i'm fairly nervous. and i know that i just have to harness this nervousness and turn it into GREATNESS.

this man is a douchebag ... and other stories
one day this man will know that he's a complete moron. please, please make that day happen soon. he's one of those "i can therapy the gay right out of you" assholes who is making it his business to screw up lives. what crap.
and on the page of douchebags, what in the fuck happened to dennis miller? remember how he used to be cool? who is this lunatic i now see chatting with bill o' reilly? i don't know how dustin can watch this and stay sane, b/c i've been watching for 3.4 seconds and already i want to bash my head through the nearest pane of glass.
in other news, we'll be on our way to ND next week -- my lovely sister-in-law, sara, and the oft commenting d. are gettin' hitched! there will be camping (which, considering i'm not much of a camper, will be really, really funny) and vow-taking and reception-going and all sorts of shenanigans!
on the topic of whether or not you all can uncross your fingers...NOT UNTIL I SAY SO. but very soon you will understand. i need to kick ass and take names and by god, i need your help to do it. you are the source of all my power, i tell you!!! no matter what the outcome of this situation is, i'll be happy. HOWEVER one direction might be a bit more interesting than the other. ooh! i'm so cryptic! stay tuned!
my dog just snored. AWESOME!
and now...it's time... for sleep.
but first... i just want to state how much i love blogging. i tried a touch o' the youtube and yeah, i like posting karaoke videos and dinking around with iMovie, but i just don't think anything can replace what this is.
and if youtube gets conventions, when will blogger be hosting a convention? huh? huh? i say we demand it, people! demand it!

not able to fall back to sleep. at all.
crap.
in addition to this, i'm looking around the bedroom and seeing piles of laundry i need to put away. i could put it away now, but that's as good as saying "fine! i'm awake for the day!" which i'm not at all ready to do. the real rub of the "laundry not put away" situation is that there are a couple of cats sleeping on aforementioned piles. and leaving all their cat hair all over my black articles of clothing in the piles.
on the topic of my black clothing...
i don't wear black for any specific reason. i knew one girl who said "i wear black because i'm mourning the American dream."
YAAAAWWWWWNNNNN.
personally, it's slimming. and it sets off my "so pale i'm see-through" complexion. and i feel a tad bit gothy. but mostly the slimming thing.
today's agenda includes: work, lunch with terry, more work and some kid time.
2:53 a.m.
crap!
must...get....back...to...sleep! crap! crap!

watch out, pedophiles!
Chris Hansen is on the case! SERIOUSLY, this show should scare the hell out of anyone going after underage kids.
Sunday, June 24, 2007
hmm.
kind of a crap day. maybe it's the element of change on the horizon and, even when change is good, it's scary.
maybe i miss my girl, who is on vacation with her dad. maybe it's pms time and i'm a walking, talking stereotype of hormones and emotions.
maybe it just is what it is -- a crap day.
but it's ending nicely. sitting on the couch with the husband, watching movies. countdown to vacation: 7 days.

quote of the day. maybe the week
from the movie "The Island":
“what’s god?”
“you know—when you want something really bad and you close your eyes and you wish for it? god’s the guy that ignores you.”
(my disdain for michael bay movies is overruled by my adoration of ewan macgregor.)

strange dreams
it's not often that i have end-of-times type dreams, but whilst napping only moments ago i dreamed i was looking at the night sky and saw what i thought was a shooting star. then it grew in size and what i was looking at was an asteriod coming toward earth. then more and more of them.
then suddenly i was in my cafeteria at work and no one was paying attention to the fact that all the tvs had gone to static and no one was sure what was happening outside. they were just concerned with getting their lunch choices and getting back to work. and then i was roaming back and forth from food area to food area, trying to decide what to eat...i think i chose the waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, when really i wanted the biscuits and gravy. and a woman working in the cafeteria said "i need _______ to come over and help me." (can't recall the name she said.) she was standing by what appeared to be some kind of water well. "he needs to go down and get the components for making our water supply last."
i'm retelling this to dustin right now and he's amused.

yep, awake. ate a cheese sandwich and drank some orange juice.
sighhhhhh.
statcounter is funny because you can use different functions to track who is viewing your blog, and one of the ways is by referral url. for instance, if someone types "monkey" into google and i happened to have written the word "monkey" in my blog, it'll show up. here are a couple examples of what people type that will bring up my blog:
Cameron Crowe (not too odd)
Kari Larson Blog (again, not strange)
Baby Fish Mouth Soccer (WHAT?)
yes, i do have the words "Baby Fish Mouth" in my blog -- they actually describe my friend Bram's blog -- but who in the WORLD does a search for Baby Fish Mouth Soccer? what does that even mean? why bring it up?
5:44. i would REALLY like to fall back to sleep.
in other news, stuff is changing 'round these parts. again, no specifics, but change is definitely in the works, and it will require much kick-assery on my part. remember how i asked for finger-crossing? i'm now to the next stage of this...now i need crossing of everything -- legs, eyes, the works. if it happens... it will KICK SO MUCH ASS. so much. seriously.
i think i actually feel drowsy right now -- it's magic time!

yes, i do have the words "Baby Fish Mouth" in my blog -- they actually describe my friend Bram's blog -- but who in the WORLD does a search for Baby Fish Mouth Soccer? what does that even mean? why bring it up?
5:44. i would REALLY like to fall back to sleep.
in other news, stuff is changing 'round these parts. again, no specifics, but change is definitely in the works, and it will require much kick-assery on my part. remember how i asked for finger-crossing? i'm now to the next stage of this...now i need crossing of everything -- legs, eyes, the works. if it happens... it will KICK SO MUCH ASS. so much. seriously.
i think i actually feel drowsy right now -- it's magic time!

cnn breaking news....
so my cnn.com widget just announced that someone has been arrested for in the disappearance of an ohio mother...Bobby Cutts, Jr.
is anyone really surprised that someone named Bobby Cutts, Jr., is under suspicion? is that mean of me to say?
is it that a grown man is called Bobby..or is it the unfortunate last name of Cutts? maybe it's a combination of the two.
(yes, i know i'm totally going to burn in hell for these kinds of thoughts. oh well. i'll take all of you with me.)

something i'm gonna try
so i've noticed on meetup.com that there are a lot of people who want to be a part of a group for people with BPD... so guess what? i'm doing just that. on monday i'll be meeting with a few people to discuss getting a regular, monthly group going. why? 'cause us crazies have to stick together, that's why.
no, it's just that i think a characteristic of bpd --- the intense sensitivity -- keeps borderlines from recognizing patterns of behavior in themselves, but makes it very easy to see it in others. and we not be doing any sort of therapy of any kind, just talking about stuff and how we deal with it.
as for my saturday agenda: a trip to a thrift store with the sister!

sighhhh...the weekend...
sitting around...might go to a movie, might not. it's mighty comfy on the couch. and, by the way, the finger crossing/foot rubbing is working thus far, so KEEP IT UP!
my dog is whining. CONSTANTLY. i feed her. i water her. i let her outside and STILL she bitches and whines. i'm just not in the mood for it.
"practical magic" is on and while it is not a great movie, it's distracting from the stress of the week... and that's all i need right now.
oh, and maybe a hershey bar.

i'm not superstitious, but....
...if anyone has a lucky rabbit's foot (a faux one, not real, b/c that is icky) please begin rubbing it. there is something really cool that might happen and by god, i need all the luck i can get.
i'll keep you posted when i know more. but for now, GET RUBBING!

dedicated to jurgennation!
i got an email tonight from a friend who is dealing with some asshat who wants to get out the word that there are some things that shouldn't be blogged. while i can agree to a very limited extent (for example, proclaiming that hidden admiration for michael bolton or steven segal is never in good form), a blog at it's very best is really about the writer's life, and who is this ASSHAT to judge what makes for good reading material? "booo, i don't think things like that are funny...wahhhhh...."
guess what, genius: sometimes things are written and although the writing is witty and sharp and clever, it doesn't mean that what is written is a joke or a punchline in any way. it is a reflection of the way someone deals with what is going on in their life.
so to my stacy of jurgennation, keep on keepin' on, dollface.

BAD CHOICES.
i am ILL. i drank last night to blow off a little steam from some stress i've been dealing with lately. there was karaoke and my darling friend, terry. there was also Sauza. which, even though it looks just like water, drinking it as though it is water is a BAD CHOICE. BAD.
i am now eating very bland food. feel as though i've been punched in the stomach, and it's my own damn fault.

karaoke: always a good time
footage to come, but for now, some pictures. and by "some" i mean "two."

making decisions has never been my strong suit
sometimes you have to think about a lot of stuff to make a simple decision. should i dye and/or cut my hair? this will not be answered until i've created sixteen photoshop versions of my head with different styles. should i buy a pair of shoes? even after i've tried on roughly sixty pairs at five different stores i may not walk out with them, simply b/c i don't like to spend money on shoes. they have to be THE PERFECT SHOES. and when making larger decisions, i mentally make a pros/cons list. i weigh everything to come up with not just the best decision for me, but for all concerned.
so now i'm at another crossroads where i'm weighing the pros and cons. and while all signs point to "yes" on one front, there are a couple of really compelling reasons to go the other direction. actually just one. one really compelling reason to choose one way instead of the other. and while i can't get into specifics, suffice it to say that i have that weird, pit of my stomach kind of feeling that tells me this will be a really, really tough decision.
yes, that's right, i'm picking out nail polish.

girly movies. sort of.
"brokeback mountain" is on, which means that in about an hour and a half i'll be weeping like a girl. wait...i am a girl. i guess my weeping will be entirely appropriate.
i think i have a very short list of movies that i consider to be great love stories. some have happy endings, some do not. here is the list i have:
• brokeback mountain
• secretary
• punch drunk love
• eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
and i know that there are more, but these are the ones that stick out in my mind. i do have a thing for any movie that pairs katherine hepburn and spencer tracy, also.
10 minutes into this movie and the soundtrack is already making me... melancholy.
(i'm now awaiting the two or more comments that will feature a variation of the phrase "i wish i knew how to quit you...")

my name is kari and i have a runny nose
still watching Hamlet. and it's still very good. but now i feel like being mindless. not in a fox news type way. now comes "just like heaven" because i can't help myself.
i feel like changing my hair color. any suggestions, anyone?

the We tv channel kinda sucks.
so i'm channel surfing. and bill o'reilly is a douchebag.
if i hear the phrase "liberal media bias" one more time, i really can't be held responsible for my actions. i kid you not.
oh good...sean "i want to hannitize america" hannity is on the campaign trail with rudy giuliani. i just think i need to watch something mindless.
wait. this is fox news. maybe i'm already doing that.
oh wow. Hamlet is on TV. the kenneth branagh version. gooooood stuff.

what was i doing one year ago?
this is a little game i call "looking back at my archives to see what's different in my life."
let's see....
wow. this is completely unexciting. a blog post about how i wasn't blogging very much. but there are some photos involved, so i guess that's fun.
our evening: the rev. paul and dustin are playing "medal of honor." dustin and i worked on andy's site for a bit and took in a little bit of the ol' Southern Comfort. i've not tasted this for at least a decade. it's like candy in a glass. but liquid. and makes you believe you are a superhero. and inhibits your ability to drive. but other than that...JUST like candy.
"hold on, don't shoot yet....lemme switch weapons..."
good one, rev. paul...i'm sure that's how they handle things in actual wartime.
i just tried my hand at this game...TOO MANY BUTTONS. i need an atari system, with two buttons and one joystick and THAT'S ALL. this newfangled contraption? too much work.
"luckily god's on my side..."
crap. midnight. i'm sleepy. another day of work tomorrow. the battle wages on...

DUDE i'm completely awake
4:46 a.m. at this very moment. really really really trying to get back to sleep -- alas, it's not meant to be. i am making a list of movies i want to see. i'll share that list with you now and then you tell me if you wanna go.
Waitress (dude, i heart nathan fillion.)
Bug
Hostel II (maybe i wanna see this. not sure yet.)
License To Wed (Dude! it's JIM!)
Halloween (rob zombie version due out this august...hurrah!)
i'd still like to check out Disturbia (maybe at the cheap theater)
the kiddo is super excited about Nancy Drew, so i'm sure we'll be doing that at some point.
movies i don't plan on seeing:
Surf's Up (even if andy said it's good. just doesn't appeal to my bitter, blackened soul.)
Shrek the Third (we get it...you are an ogre. mike myers, please begin to act again. soon.)
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (YAWN. i'm not much for swashbuckling lately.)
movies i'm on the fence about:
Ocean's Thirteen (haven't yet watched Ocean's Twelve...but i do like me the Clooney.)
how, HOW do weekends go so fast? it makes me sad.
hey, know what i'd really like? to FREAKING SLEEP. this "up at 4 a.m." thing is for the birds.
it's now 5:06. i think that, if i really really try, i can maybe sleep now.
too much on the mind, i suppose.

a really bad day
horribly bad day. an incredibly bad day and the only remedy is Shaun of the Dead and some Sauza. change is in the wind but i'm not sure how quite yet. but keep your fingers crossed for me because i need all the finger-crossing i can get, yo.

what i've learned today
if you are even slightly, SLIGHTLY melancholy, listening to Morrissey is a BIG mistake. (case in point: Sing Me to Sleep. a bad choice.)

what you might find in my kitchen
this fellow used to be on our living room floor. now suddenly he's on our countertop, arms outstretched. what happens when i go to work???
what i’ve discovered today:
as long as you are listening to Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand,” anything you do will feel infinitely cooler.

poor dixie!
our puppy began doing some weird, fluid-coming-out-of-her-mouth gagging type thing tonight which was odd, but then followed by some seriously fast panting. so, after a trip to the vet we come to find that she has pneumonia. poor puppy! they gave her an uber-dose of antibiotic and we start pills for her tomorrow. the vet said she should be feeling better tomorrow, so we'll see.
oh, puppy!
oh, puppy!

i'd like to state that...
...only having work four days in the week is outstanding. i'm giddy that tomorrow is already wednesday. and here's a shout out to Taquito Benito on his big day of moving tomorrow! lift with your legs, not with your back, my friend!
tomorrow is also our first visit to the orthodontist for the kiddo. yes, that time is upon us. hopefully we can push it off for another year or so, but those types are pretty insistent and i buckle under peer pressure. (most pressure causes me to buckle, actually.)
i'm tired. and slightly queasy on account of the massive brownie i just ate... but it was SO GOOD!
i just remembered Mr. Food from KMOT in minot. his line was "ooh, it's so good..." and he said it after everything he could. i wonder if he's still on. anyone know? if you have info, offer it up...but for now i'll check out The Google.
holy CRAPBALLS! he has a site with a sound link on it! DIG IT!!!
yeah, that's the voice i want in my head as i'm drifting off to sleep...Mr. Food.
sleep well, kiddies.

since i seemed to miss the first Jaws earlier today...
i'm gonna watch it RIGHT NOW! this is one shark-filled day, my friends. i just made brownies, ate a salad and put my feet up on the coffee table (i don't actually have an ottoman, so i improvise).
i'm considering jogging. why? i don't know. at all. something about it appeals to me, just the motion of going nowhere but burning off stress. yeah, my knees will probably implode with the force of an atomic bomb, but i think i can live with that.
it's 7 p.m. and i'm becoming melancholy over having to work tomorrow. i know everyone has to work. and i just have to get through one more month and then i've got some vacation coming in early july. and the month of may went by pretty quickly, so the beginning of my vacation, july 3, is just around the corner.
but i'm still melancholy. what can help break this melancholy mood? THE ORIGINAL JAWS MOVIE, THAT'S WHAT!
it may seem as though i didn't do a lot today. however i have done a few loads of laundry, picked up some groceries, showered, ummmmmm.... crap. not much accomplished.
but i'm learning a lot about shark behavior.
maybe not. but i'm learning a lot about the behavior of mechanical sharks in movie studio pools.
HOLY SHIT!
"that's some bad hat, harry" was just said by Chief Brody! THIS is where it comes from! to preface this, that line is spoken as a part of the production company after each House episode. hey! i've learned something today!

the last half hour of Jaws 2 and...*UPDATED*
...it's so awesome! the helicopter is about to tow the stranded teenagers to safety and the shark attacks the chopper...that is still tied to the stranded boat! DAMN! and there's the shark, spinning the boat around and around ... and then quiet..wait for it...BAM! get the kid to safety! good job saving that kid, anonymous teenage girl...who is about to have her legs chewed on...eek!
DAMN this rules.
*THIS JUST IN: Jaws III to start momentarily, with Jaws the Revenge to follow! YESSSS! Where are my 3-D glasses when i need them???*

"it's still there...."
"tina...what's still there?'
"sh...sh...sh...sh...SHARK!"
(Jaw 2, yo.)
i remember playing with this when i was really little:
i remember using the hook to fish stuff out of the shark's mouth and if you weren't too careful, SNAP! it was great.
i love, LOVE days off, and i'm even tempted to track down one of those Jaws toys.

guess who i'm really sick of?
i really liked lindsay lohan back in the Freaky Friday days. even in the Mean Girls days, even though it began her Tarted Up® phase.
that being said..... another car accident? and BIG SHOCK, suspected DUI and coke found on the scene? i'm a forgiving person, but for FUCK'S SAKE, i hope she goes to jail. know why? BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAVE THE TOLERANCE FOR WHINY-ASS BABY RICH GIRLS WHO ACT AS THOUGH THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY PLEASE WITH LITTLE TO NO CONSEQUENCE. having a set of funbags and a tight ass will only get you so far, lindsay.
you come from a broken home? WAH. no one understands the pressure you face? WAH.
you know what happens to me if i party so much that i can't go to work because of exhaustion? i get fired. know what happens to me if i get into one (let alone, SEVERAL car accidents)? my car is wrecked and i don't get another one. what happens if they find what might be cocaine on me? i got to fucking jail. AND lose my job. AND i won't see a license until the next century.
but you, you spoiled fucking brat, it's time someone sat you up and set you straight. everyone is tired of your shit. EVERYONE. so man the fuck up and get your shit together. if none of your friends will tell you to stop acting like a total fucking ass, then maybe the general public should.

what i watch at 2 a.m.
james woods is pretty bad-ass in this movie.
it even co-stars a lesser baldwin!
and laura palmer!
so i did the late afternoon nap thing today...which explains why i'm wide-freaking awake at 2:07 a.m.
happiness defined: long weekend with no loss of wages. hurrah for paid holidays!

my cyst-less finger!
so remember when i had that cyst removed, and then i had those cool stitches in place? WELL today my finger looked a little...irritated. not irritated like i had left the milk out overnight but irritated like there was something wrong with it. then i push on it and prod it a little bit and a wee bit of stitching popped out of it! it was CRAZY. and i wanted to post a picture of it, but it's so thin and short that there's no way the image will turn out. so just imagine, if you will, a small, blue piece of plastic-like string working it's way out of my finger the way a piece of bread comes out of a toaster.
CRAZY.
CRAZY.
i just saw a really clever commercial
it's for Absolute Vodka. it involves riots and the public fighting the military...but with PILLOWS. i kid you not. CLEVER. especially since booze commercials just show scantily clad women for the most part, yet this one shows PILLOW FIGHTS. what does it have to do with vodka? i'm not even sure. but i'm SOLD!

why my husband is a better person than i
because while he is watching this german-made documentary on kuwait and the damage it sustained after the gulf war (the one in the '90s), all i want to do is watch Jackass.
some days i don't have the energy for it. and i know i care about what is happening in this scary fucking world, but today i'm tired. today if i hear about war, i'll cry. dustin seems to have a better handle on his anger/frustration about all of this, b/c there is no way i could read/watch/listen to all he does on a daily basis and not just light myself on fire in front of the white house while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. we don't want that, do we?
so that's why i can't do what he does.
and maybe that makes me a total lazy ass some days and makes him a better, more well-informed citizen than i.
some days i don't have the energy for it. and i know i care about what is happening in this scary fucking world, but today i'm tired. today if i hear about war, i'll cry. dustin seems to have a better handle on his anger/frustration about all of this, b/c there is no way i could read/watch/listen to all he does on a daily basis and not just light myself on fire in front of the white house while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. we don't want that, do we?
so that's why i can't do what he does.
and maybe that makes me a total lazy ass some days and makes him a better, more well-informed citizen than i.

the highlight of our night
"pain don't hurt."
"my way...or the highway."
"you're too stupid to have a good time."
"does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?"
courtesy of ROAD HOUSE!
a short weekend, a long day
today was one of those days in which plenty of work was done, but it all seems to be a blur. it was one of those days where i felt like i was only half there, with my mind in other places. actually, that isn't what it was like, that's exactly what it was...i was only half there. a variety of reasons, nothing i have the energy to go into right now.
i'm hungry but not enough to get up off the couch. and HEY! "the wedding singer" is on tv. see? one more reason not to leave this warm spot.
but now the dog is scratching at the door. so i have to let her out. which means i MUST MOVE OFF OF THE COUCH. damn it.

a few words from Dustin
Ah, hell.
O.K. I need to vent. Perhaps I shouldn't be writing anything right now, because I'm so fucking pissed off this will surely be nothing but a belligerent rant.
So be it.
My hatred for Bush at this point simply knows no bounds. None. If he gets decapitated and his headless body is tossed in a dumpster somewhere, I will simply smile (and, should I happen to be eating a chili dog and a milkshake while passing said dumpster, I will toss them in and stroll along on my merry way).
The headlines right now read (I presume): BUSH CUTS OFF FUNDING FOR THE TROOPS, LEAVING THEM IN HARM’S WAY AND ENSURING A TERRORIST VICTORY!!!
(I know, I’m being silly: there’s not enough room for a headline that long.)
I think every media pundit has to start repeating on an hourly basis: "Bush actually DID vote for the Eleventy Seventy Gazillion -- BEFORE he voted AGAINST it!"
(The odds that this will happen? ... Free trip to "Club Gi™o" [as Rush would say] for the winning answer!)
O.K....
So more than 60% of the public (and surely 90+% of the world public) wants to see an end to the bloody and fruitless military occupation of Iraq. (Loons.) The majority in Congress decide to play make-believe for a little while and pretend that we actually live in a representative democracy, and so quickly pass a bill giving Bush even more money than he asked for to fund his obscene and imperial war of choice.
What does Bush do?
……..
O.K.: Here’s what he SHOULD have done:
BUSH: “Oh my god, I can’t thank you enough – I thought you were going to cut off funding, or … or worse! To IMPEACH me! I know my approval ratings have hovered at around 30-35% for the last couple years, and Dick’s at about 20%. I know this war is ridiculously unpopular, was launched on a flimsy pretext of lies and propaganda, has now lasted longer than our involvement in WWII with no end in sight, is draining our treasury, destroying our military, eroding what’s left of our confidence and has obliterated any support we may have once had on this planet… I know no sane person finds it credible that “faulty intelligence” led us into this war – and maybe I shouldn’t have given the Medal Of Freedom to the guy I constantly blame for the failure… But, but, but, … well, God Almighty! Just, thank you! Thank you! Please don’t investigate me! Please, please just keep the money flowin’ like this, and everything’ll be just fine!”…..
No. He doesn’t even condescend to the level of saying: “I appreciate that the Democrats have finally come around to realizing the significance of this War on Terror….” (Which is what I would have expected him to say.)
How naïve I am. No.
He fucking vetoes it.
Why?
Apparently he's an anti-American troop hater.
What's that?
Oh, that's not among the choices?
Oh, sorry, I FORGOT!: It's the DEMOCRATS who hate America and the troops.
And THAT'S why they want to bring them home to their families, and to hold accountable the elitist criminal chickenhawk thugs responsible for the troops BEING in the fucking war in the FIRST place! Clearly, they would like nothing more than for all our troops to be shot in the face and lit on fire while bleeding to death – nothing could be more apparent. And even if they actually DO want the troops to come home (which I highly doubt), it’s only because they want to shoot them in the face and/or strangle them to death THEMSELVES [before lighting them on fire] – so boundless is their hatred for our troops.
No, everyone knows how much Bush loves and "supports our troops." After all, he reminds us every chance he gets. (Golly, I wonder how many yellow ribbon magnets HE’S got on his limo??...)
He must have had some other reason...
It must have just been too much money -- those spend-thrift Democrats are picking the pocket of YOU, Mr. and Mrs. America! Hey! He didn't ask for THAT much! That's just outlandish, blowing up and/or lighting on fire THAT quantity of money in a crater in a desert 3000 miles away in order to liberate a people who want us to leave?! And NON-WHITE PEOPLE, at that??!! Stupid extravagant Democrats. It's the same old Tax and Spend (™) policy! ...
Oh, wait, BUSH is the one responsible for a projected $2 trillion decicit for his illegal and immoral war. (Or at the very least, without the further "emergency" funding, the current and uncontroversial figure is $400+ Billion…) And – oh, yeah! THAT'S right! It's Bush that is so competent and responsible with YOUR money that he has YET TO INCLUDE the funding for his half-assed war of aggression [on the one country in the region with no ties to terrorism] in the ACTUAL FEDERAL BUDGET! Oh yeah, I forgot about that! Well, he musta forgot. [Budget Schmudget – that’s what MY gut says!] THAT'S why he has to keep asking Congress every fucking year for another "Emergency Supplemental Spending Bill" – WHICH, if the Democrats even try to DEBATE or DISPUTE it — let alone raise questions about the real purpose being to steal from the poor and give to the rich oil-baron-and-weapons-contractor cronies of the Liar In Chief — then OF COURSE they don't "Support The Troops™”. ...
When the “Emergency Supplemental Iraq War Spending Bill of 2012” comes up for a vote, who do YOU think will vote against Our Troops? You guessed it. The DEMOCRATS. I’m willing to be my right nut on it. [And that’s my only nut, by the way.]
O.K. So, at this point not so much an "emergency," then. … That’s right, this is the fourth year running now… Hmm… Still… Hold on, now…..
Anyway. The point is, the Democrats hate America. They hate the flag, they hate baseball, they hate jazz, they hate Apple Pie, the DESPISE George Washington, and they HATE the troops. They love gay sex. Gays sex and baby killing: there’s nothing they love more. And, more importantly, they hate YOU, Mr. and Mrs. America! They think THEY know how to spend YOUR money better than YOU do — like for HELPING people!
Everyone knows that the way to HELP people — to LIBERATE them ¬— is to bomb them, destroy their country and its infrastructure, ignite and then help to escalate a bloody civil war and then -- when after 4 years that policy proves a dismal failure -- throw more MONEY on the fire!
Glad it’s not MY money.
O.K. ... There must be a rational explanation. (Or at least something that could be explained by the "common sense" reaction of a brain-dead silver-spoon loser alcoholic elitist frat boy spoiled brat in a cowboy costume smirking troglodyte ...)
Maybe the bill just took too damn long. ... No, I seem to remember Bush saying -- even BEFORE the bill was passed: "Pass this bill, send it to my desk, I'll veto it, and then you clowns can start all over again..."
Plus, the Democratic majority actually got their bill written and passed in far less time than the Republican-led Congress before…
If I didn’t know better [in my gut] what a Good God-Fearing man George was, I’d think this was all some sorta goddam manipulative political machinations and whatnot…
Hmmm...
Ah! I forgot! It must be because the bill is so filled with PORK! THAT’S it! You know: all that pork-barrel nonsense like funding the VA and Walter Reid Hospital and the victims of Hurricane Katrina, etc. etc. blah blah blah. Fuckin lazy con artists tryin ta blame their lack of housing and food on a “hurricane.” Sheesh. And even if it WAS a hurricane: SO WHAT?! Is that MY fault?
These Democrats in their goddamn Blue States are always trying to rip off the Federal government – to steal YOUR HARD-EARNED TAX DOLLARS! Those overpopulated Blue States are so over-represented, they make a mockery of the term “democracy”! One Man One Vote, I say! I mean, you don’t see those Red States feeding at the Federal Trough, now DO you. Hell no! Let’s get rid of this winner-take-all Electoral College system, and THEN we’ll see how Red this country is!!
Oh, wait…
What was I talking about?...
Oh, yeah: that war thing.
So just what’s in this so called “funding” bill, anyway? I mean, sure, there’s “funding” – IF you can even CALL it that. Again, it’s barely 120% of what was demanded.
But what’s the catch? …
Ah HA! THIS bill has the audacity to suggest that perpetual war might be undesirable! It even goes so far as to request that we try to SUCEED and END this war as soon as possible! Are you kidding me?
A vote for this bill sends Mixed Signals ™ -- signals such as, “We’re not sure if we have any power anymore, since we already voted to give it all away – and the guy we gave it all away to says that because we did that then now he can just do whatever he wants! And he’s the decider and we’re just ‘politicians’! WAAA!!” This bill even implies that one man – even if he is a prophet and knows and loves Jesus deeply -- does not have Sole Autonomy Over the World!
What, you think I’m making it up? No, seriously: get this: the bill calls for troops to be WITHDRAWN (if possible) by JULY! Or else, if that’s not feasible, then OCTOBER!!!
O.K., I’m exaggerating a little bit. It just says that, if possible, we should MAYBE THINK ABOUT TRYING TO BEGIN TO bring the troops home, provided that’s a viable option at that time. But, you know: I’m trying to make a point here. Cut me some slack.
And just what is that point?
Well, all you really need to know is this:
The Democrats want America to lose the war. They want the Terrorists to win. They support Al Qaeda, who supports Hezbollah. They want everybody to speak Arabic, just like those Saddam-supporting Al Qaeda-affiliated Iranians – who (incidentally) the Democrats would love to see destroy America with their stockpiles of nukes (made in Caracas, no doubt – and polished by North Korean satanists). They want babies to be killed and thrown in a garbage sack – NO, they want to place the babies in the sack while still alive and then smother them, and stomp on their heads! They hate God – no, they don’t even BELIEVE in God, so they don’t even HATE him! They do, however, hate Jesus, with a passion.
Most important of all, though (and I really CANNOT emphasize this enough): they want to RAISE YOUR TAXES.
I mean, JUST WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE??!!
Fortunately, you’re wise to these scoundrels. You just wait til ’08! Their slim majority is certain to be short-lived. We’re never goin back to the bad old days of “checks and balances,” “transparency,” “representation for the working class,” “oversight,” “progressive populist reforms,” OR “intelligent rational decision making”! Over my dead body. Hell, if I had MY way, we’d just suspend the stupid elections, declare Martial Law until the War On Terror ™ is over, and annoint Bush “Leader of The Realm.” … No, that doesn’t sound… “The Decider”! THAT’S what we’ll call ‘im.
I like that. “The Decider”……..
