Dumb Brunette Morissette

So I'm watching the Tonight Show last night and they've got some old Stevie Nicks look-a-like singing in a cocktail dress. Hold on! It's Alanis Morissette! Now usually I don't care what celebrities do with their hair. But the brunette big hair pop-star, turned angry-scorn girl, turned thankful woman going blonde! And not the kind of fun blonde that screams "I'm a rock star, so I bleached my hair, screw you." But it's like Clairol #53, "I'm not a brunette, I want to pass as a blonde conservative woman." What the hell? I guess she won't be giving head in movie theaters anymore. Posted by Picasa

I Don't Talk to Strangers!

So Michael and I went out for coffee and to work on his budget. We had to leave the house because we're selling it and someone was coming to look at it. The library has a nifty coffee spot that we hadn't been to before. We settled into a nice lonely corner on a comfy couch after ordering our coffees. Not more than 5 minutes after I took my first sip, this girl and her daughter sit down at the couch across from us. (I say "girl" because she looks about 16) The girl proceeds to take out painting tubes for her daughter to use. It's the little girl's first time using these and they seem to be having quite a bit of trouble. Then, who I guess to be the little girl's father comes in and sits on the chair next to our couch. There was plenty of room on the couch with the mom and child. Next he sees that we have our computer open and asks if there is wi-fi available. Michael says yes. Then there are more problems with the paint and the little girl. Then the father debates whether he should get his laptop in the car. He goes and gets it and then he can't connect and asks us if we're still connected.
"Yes we are."
"How many bars?"
"Fully connected, no problems."

Then he asks if he can take the side table that Michael has his coffee on. Yes, just to keep you from talking to us anymore. Then the mom complains that the paper they made their little painting on tore in half. Then the father is ass and says something snotty. Then the little girl starts wailing. Then the father complains again about his wi-fi connection.

TIME TO EXIT!!!

There was a whole coffee cafe to use and they chose to surround us with their dysfunctional bullshit! The only benefit to all this is that the coffee place was training new staff and kept bringing us free samples!

Oregon, I'm Moving Back

So I've only lived in 3 states, but Oregon is my favorite in the union. It's got to be the number one state for having the least laws on personal freedoms EVER! Check this out: Supreme Court Upholds Oregon Assisted Suicide Law

Capital Punishment...Why Not?

First off, I'm against capital punishment. This 76 year old prisoner was "blind and mostly deaf, suffered from diabetes and had a nearly fatal heart attack in September only to be revived and returned to death row, [and] was assisted into the death chamber by four large correctional officers and lifted out of his wheelchair." His lawyer appealed his execution saying that it was cruel and unusual punishment to kill a man at the prisoner's age. Again, I am against capital punishment. However, I would be begging for them to kill me if I was 76, blind, mostly deaf, diabetic and in a wheelchair on death row! I think the state did him a favor.

Happy Birthday Ken!!!

Hey it's Little Kenny's birthday and he's stepped onto the threshold of being in his mid-thirties. I was going to put a highly embarrassing picture of Ken to really make him feel great on his birthday. But then, a thought hit... he can do the same to me and doesn't have to wait until it's my birthday! So fear has won out... have a good one Ken! Posted by Picasa

Baby New Year!

So it's been forever since I've really sat down at the computer. I blame the holidays. The good news is that my sister had her baby on New Year's Day! I usually don't like to write about personal stuff, but this is too big for me to contain myself. He's her second and he's cute and healthy. Now it's time to go help with the little pooper; however, I don't change diapers, so I'll be doing more holding and non-toxic things like that. Happy New Year! Posted by Picasa
