bleuch

I think I'm getting a cold. I hate this, it's summer! I shouldn't be SICK! I feel like crap and I really don't want to waste any days off being sick. BAH!

It's just a stuffy nose. I'm sure it's not allergies because A) the Zyrtec doesn't help make it go away and 2) my ears and throat feel funny too. So, I'll be all congested for the next few days until this passes. Hopefully the cheap imitation Sudafed will help...it hasn't yet though and it's been about 3 hours now. boo...

UPDATE: So this afghan I'm working on for the girl at work who had a baby... I'm 3 rows from being done (yeah she came back from maternity leave last week!) and I have RUN OUT OF YARN! GAAAAAAA!!!!!! 3 ROWS! WTF!?! UGH! Can this day get ANY WORSE?!

GO WATCH THIS!

If you haven't watched already, you must go. Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is brilliant. Joss Whedon and Neil Patrick Harris are so funny. It will only be up through Midnight Sunday July 20th (which is also Sama's birthday!) Acts 1 & 2 are up, Act 3 goes up on Saturday.

Spread the word!!

What to wear?

So the beautiful girls at Jezebel have a critique of the latest Marie Claire issue's fashion layout.
They're claiming that grunge is in again, showing the pretty "moddles" in a factory in their boots and flannel. The best thing though is how they point out this:

Oh, by the by, this entire ensemble is $1793. In this country, a factory job pays about $30,000. You probably bring home only $21,900 of that, meaning you make $1825 a month. So you'd have $32 left over - or $1.06 a day - to eat with that month if you purchased the clothes pictured.

The picture they're talking about is here on your left. Those boots are $1,250. I can't think of a single item of clothing I'd spend that much money on. Am I cheap? Does that make me frumpy? Dude...I could go to Good Will and get that same look for under $50.

Concerts!

I got to go see Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine last night at the House of Blues. The show was AWESOME! Richard Cheese is a lot of fun. And his keyboard player Bobby Ricotta is so animated and fun to watch. However, the House of Blues is a bad venue if you're short. I couldn't quite see the drummer or the bass player too well. And Richard roams the stage so much I could only see him half the time. The opening act was Bed Zeppelin, I thought they had said Dread Zeppelin but no, it was Bed Zeppelin. They sing Led Zeppelin songs in pajamas and wigs. The keyboard player sits in a recliner and is so totally disinterested nearly asleep, very funny, but also very good. Dread Zeppelin on the other hand sing Led Zeppelin songs with a reggae beat, and their lead singer is an Elvis impersonator, also very good and very funny. They'll be in Chicago during Labor Day weekend if anyone would like to trek with me to see them in the suburbs... only $5!!
It was an awesome show, Cheese is so cool... He and the band signed autographs after the show. Bobby Ricotta was hanging with the crowd chatting, it was so cool. Cheese usually hangs in Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel. He did say he wants to come back to Chicago next year. So, you'll have another chance to check him out!

Mabel is happy!

I took this little video after Mabel chowed down on a packet of food that Zesmerelda picked up for her at Taste of Chicago. She was going crazy as I opened the packet. Once I set her dish down she was going at it for a good 10 minutes! I was worried she might not eat it, since she doesn't care for cat treats and she turns her nose up at most people food, mostly, she only likes tuna. But this food. She LOVED! And here she is saying Thanks!

Bleuch!

I REALLY don't get this picture. I found it at my favorite place, Jezebel.com. The article doesn't talk about this disgusting food item at all. Although, someone in the comments mentions this was a food offering at the Google NY office's cafeteria. In any event, as much as I love donuts and feel they are loaded with crack to make me keep on craving them, these...things...words can not express what the hell these are loaded with. I mean, seriously, a bacon-cheese-donut-burger... WTF?! Make me just ralph all the food I've ever consumed in my entire life why don't you?! O. M. G.!
And from the picture, it looks like there were actually people BRAVE enough to try to eat them. See the greasy slime there on the counter in that empty space. Yeah, it looks like some of these were picked up, and then perhaps taken to a table and EATEN. GAH! The thought is making my holiday frosted donut come up for a second taste. Yeah, nothing tastes good the second time around.

BAH!!

So I get up this morning and there is no water. Every faucet I turn on, nothing happens. I need to do laundry, shower, wash the dishes....I can't do anything, I can't even make coffee!

No sooner have I twittered this travesty, than I hear the toilet running....that can't be cuz there's no water...I turn on the bathroom faucet, and wow...water shoots out. OK, so now there is water.

I start my day doing laundry, washing dishes, etc. I finally eat lunch and then I run off to the store. While at the store, nothing interests me. I don't want any cookies, or chips, none of the food there appeals to me, not even the fruit....not even the Entenmann's crack laced donuts!! What is wrong with me??

I wish I could answer that question. But, alas there is no answer...apparently I'm "in a mood" Fortunately I'm still entertained by Doctor Who. The latest episode this week was awesome! I totally loved it. I may go watch it again.

IDIOTS!

I just want to point out, if you are calling someone for business reasons, someone you've never called or spoken to before, say your name when leaving a message. Also, say your phone number if you are expecting them to call you back. But to call and not give your name....then call again days later giving your name and no number, that makes me doubt your ability to do your job properly. I do not want to have to go to your website and look up your magazine just to get your phone number to call you back. Especially when you're the one who called ME in the first place.
