Questionable Content

Questionable Content: New comics every Monday through Friday Realized I hadn't linked this one yet. It's way cool, with a good sized archive to keep you occupied. Makes me want to go be an indie hipster. Yesh. But alas, there is no such thing as a fat indie hipster.... that whole thing where I can't find cute clothes in my size at Goodwill sorta' negates the whole thing. Ah well. I can still dream.

Books Are Yummy... Apparently

I'm not sure *why* Puck thought the Hitchhiker's Omnibus tasted good... and I don't think I want to know.

Roar?

Harken to the roar of the Might Puck, Destroyer of Personal Belongings! Or maybe he's just yawning. If you look close, you can see where he singed his whisker on a candle.

Amputee Support Group

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Amputee Support Group. *cough* Is it wrong that Andrew and I have been laughing at this one for a while now, and in the past I have cursed my not having my camera? If so, I'm not sure I want to be right.

Annette at IHOP. Isn't she damn sexy? 

Photo Phun!

So found this thing that lets me publish photos to my blog in what seems to be a pretty easy manner. Yay. So now there will be photos here as well! w00t! And I've decided to test it with a year old photo. Yup. So here's me graduating from Trinity. This is probably my favorite photo of myself from that day.

Me at Graduation. Yay dood! I have me a bachelors degree!

Bookity Book Book

Blah! LiveJournal is in read only mode and I feel the need to post and so here it is! This is precisely why I need a second blog. Oh and BlogThis! is just so damned handy. Hee.
So Staci is trying to read 40 books this year, and over at bookslut.com there's the 50 Book challenge. (Looks again... but the earlier link told me it was Book... and that isn't... and... Bah!) Anyhow, people seem to be all up on this 50 book challenge. So I may as well keep track of what I'm reading this year... oi. Now to try and remember what I've read this year. Uhm. Things are hazy from about New Year's I don't remember what was on which side of the New Year's line. Mwerf. Here are the ones I know for sure:

1. Polgara the Sorceress
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
3. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
4. Reaper Man
5. Searching for Dragons
6. Calling on Dragons
7. SnowCrash
8. The Diamond Age: or A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer
9. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
10. Neverwhere

And uhm... there's also, I know there was more. There are at least two other Discworld books. Hooray! Though I'm not sure if the Hitchhiker's stuff should all count as seperate books, since I'm reading them in the huge omnibus collection. Ah well. I count them seperately! So yay. And I don't suppose all of the comic books I've been reading count. sigh Cause you know, I'd be crazy up there! Well, I suppose I'm off to fold some laundry. I did about 5 loads today. A good dent has been put into the pile of dirty. Huzzah.

Dood... I want one! If Playtex is going to be bitches and and not let me have my portables and be nicely discreet, then fuck it! If I can't be discreet, then I'll be proud! I've actually seen these in a store somewhere, but totally can't remember where. I want to say Burlington or Ross or something like that... oh! Half-Price, over at Huebner, of all places, that's where it was. I swear. Huh. Too bad it was ages ago. *sigh*

Biojewlery

Dood! I want! Hee.... awesomest wedding rings evar.

Tomato Nation

Tomato Nation
Have I mentioned Tomato Nation? Friggin hilarious.
BlogThis! is now available to me with FireFox thanks to an extension. Whoo! Now to go make lunch. Maybe some soup will make my sinuses quit trying to kill me. Maybe...

EgoMouse

I have these dreams, and they're all so real. I don't want to be twentysomething and standing here on the edge. They say thirty is the new twenty, but half-way to fifty it isn't so comforting. And there's nothing here for me and all those childhood promises were lies. It's all lies. Nobody knows where they're going. Nobody knows what they're doing. And everybody thinks they're better than you. They love the fact that they aren't you. They don't want to be them, though. Everybody wants to be somebody different. Nobody is entirely happy with who they are. Even if it's just a little something different. It's all in the little things. The devil's in the details. The girls want to be blonde, because blondes have more fun. They want more fun. There is no fun. The men want to be strong. They want to be strong enough to hold the world together, at least long enough to get laid. Don't believe a word. Never believe what anyone tells you, because in the end, everyone lies. I'm eighteen. I'm twenty-one. I'm twenty-nine. I only had one drink. I wasn't looking at her. The check is in the mail. I love you. There is a God. They. All. Lie. I'm going to change all that.

Well, I guess we'll see if that goes anywhere. I have this character in my head, EgoMouse. Angry and twentysomething, like the rest of us. I guess we'll see what happens.

Ravenswood Leather - Renaissance Leather and More... The Finest in the Land!!!
This is where I want to get the bodice gowns for Cheli, Annette and me to wear to the reception after the wedding. Heh... they're only about $400... maybe we could get some kind of special since we're getting three.... Hee...

The Movie Cliches List

Heh... cute. And so many of them are so true. Will have to utilize this during filming of Vampire Coffin Girls from Outer Space.

Welcome To Voodoo Velvet - Velvet Painting

Welcome To Voodoo Velvet - Velvet Painting
Yes, I know, painting on velvet. But it actually looks pretty cool.Got that Dia de los Muertos vibe. I like the Garden of Wonders stuff.

1000 Blank White Cards

1000 Blank White Cards
I really want to play this. I'd like to play it at IHOP some time. Hee. I just know this would be a great game to get Nay Nay in on. I'm not sure if Charles would be allowed to play. I also don't know if this is the kind of game that can be played up here. Too many too competitive people. Blargle. I just want some mindless entertainment. Is that too much to ask?

Lego My Tarot!

Chris Doyle's Reasonably Clever.Com - Where our motto is "Hey! That's Reasonably Clever!"
Yes, a Lego Tarot... not actually for sale, but definitely cute.
In other news, I hate cleaning this place and our obnoxious, drunken, asshat neighbors need to just fall off of their balcony and die already.

Wow... I remember the Bloody Mary story from when I was in elementary school. I remember being in the bathroom and the lights were dim, for some reason and one girl telling the rest of us the story, and we were all a little scared, but at the same time you wanted to say her name to prove she wouldn't come.... but what if she would? The mythos these kids have built up... it's amazing. I wonder if it's true.

so Tired

I'm tired. I don't know why. And I want to be creative right now and do some writing, but I ought to go to bed. And just who does this brain think is running this party anyways?
I have this great scene in my head for my novel, but I haven't set it to paper, yet. I know I ought to, just because. But I feel reluctant. I keep making excuses for my writing. And I suck! Ok, I know that's not -entirely- true. I just read Neverwhere by Gaiman. I shouldn't read when I'm trying to be a writer. It only makes me feel like crap. I know I won't measure up.

Jared and I walked into Schultzman's Department Store. It's an old place, the kind you associate with shopping trips with your grandmother, but they're realizing that grandmothers don't have the cash anymore, the granddaughters do, so they're trying to appeal to the demographic one step below me. The totally off putting thing about them doing this is that they don't want to offend the grandmothers. So there are some really hip clothes next to some clothes that are trying to be hip next to clothes you wear if you're the sort who fears breaking your hip. Did I mention the muzac? Oh, I will. I will.
Another little oddity about Schultzman's is the fact that they have a greeter. I don't think they call them greeters, but that's what they are. They are old people who have memorized the store layout and have the singular purpose in life to point you where you need to go, in case you've forgotten where things are in the store in which you presumably shop at a lot.
As we walked in the greeter got up off of his stool and amped up his smile for us.
"Welcome to Schultzman's. How can I make you happy today?"
Oh man. I had forgotten about that. I could see Jared's face light up. I stammered and tried to pull Jared away, but it was too late.
I later learned it took them 20 minutes to get the old guy to stop crying.


Wow, I did it. I've had that scene floating in my head long before I started writing this novel. In fact, that scene is why I started writing this novel. I feel better now that it's ... uhm on paper, so to speak. I know it needs tightening, but I don't care. I wrote it and that's good enough for me at this point. I also noticed something, just now. This Haley, the one narrating, is not the same Haley I've been writing. I guess I need to kickstart her into being her own. And now I think I really go to bed. But first I need to find my eye drops, cause goddammit I've got some itchy eyes right now.

Best webcomic I've seen in a long time. I go kill drunken neighbors now. Oh it would appear they're drunkenly driving off to do it themselves. Hope they don't hurt anyone else. Asses.

Teehehehehehe.... I want several of these creatures! Verra' fun and goofy.
Played with the kitten a bunch this morning. He's nearly ripped all the feathers out of his thing on a string toy. Oh well, luckily we can buy a replacement thingy to attatch to the pole bit instead of having to buy the whole thing over again. yay!
