Cassis, je t'aime!


A l'hiver aux etats-unis, avec la neige, et le vent froid, je manque le soliel de Cassis.

Who's a Good Girl?


I'm currently in contact with the woman who is fostering this lovely lady. She's 1 year old and weighs about 35 lbs. What a cutie patootie!

I may have said something like this before, but we'll see where she ends up going home!

I just hope that my Aldo would learn to love her (and chill out a relax a little) rather than hate me. Again with the "we'll see...."

And some poor idiots idolize her....


Britney Spears. Mrs. K-fed. It pains me to think that she's a parent and helping to shape at least one soul of the next generation.

Seriously, I don't wish a crash upon her, but she HAD to know this behavior was unacceptable. I know this is almost "old news" by now, but it has pissed me off since I heard about it.

Amazingly, there are girls out there still looking up to her and even wanting to become house-fraus thanks to her. Do me and the rest of the world a favor girls, make your fellas USE A CONDOM!!!!

Bureaucratic Nightmare

I can't help but LOVE this story. It reminds me of my own place of employment.... you know, the same way that the movie "Office Space" does.

I can see how this could happen too (except that whoever is in charge of projecting the revenue for the city based on property taxes should have noticed the $4,000,000 "outlier" house and done a little follow up on that since it looks like a non-million dollar neighborhood).

Good times.... http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/13/house.valued.ap/index.html

Mon Dieu!


This is simultaneously hilarious and sad/frightening. One of my friends pointed out that she probably goes to Walmart to meet men. *shivers*

All this Walmart talk reminds me of when I went to school in the fine state of Misery and Walmart was the big store in town AND of the movie "Devil's Playground" about a bunch of Amish teens on their rumspringa (where they go live in town instead of on the farm, and drink and smoke and go to Walmart to buy make-up, CDs, and "English" style clothes).

On second thought, I'd like to recommend that film to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a fabulous documentary, and educational too. ;)

I'm Live on the Airwaves

Sure I'm a tool, but it gets me on the radio!

On the morning show that I listen to on my way to work, the guy DJ is all excited because he met Lisa Loeb in NY last weekend. Apparently he hung out with her mom a little bit, and he interviewed her on the radio the week before... he totally has the hots for her.

This morning he was rambling about what he should send her via e-mail now that he has her personal address. He thought maybe a forward about George Bush sucking or some such... I immediately knew this guy needed my advice. So I called in and was instantly on the air (I swear I get played on air on my way to work ALL the time!).

I told him to send her something saying hi, talking about himself a little and how it was so nice to see her, and then asking her a few questions. ANY kinds of questions, because it helps her to compose a response.

I also said he should sign off with a "I look forward to hearing from you" because it shows confidence.

Lastly, since he's e-mailing her and not calling, in a way he has all the time in the world to get this right. I told him to have a good friend read it over before he mails it to make sure it reads the way he wants it to (we all have a tendency to screw up our grammar or sentence structure simply because we know what we're TRYING to say. A proofreader ensures it says what we think it says).

I think it's kind of cute helping the DJ to get the rock star!
