For those about to debate ...

I leave you all with this dose of Cute Overload bunnitude from March!

Emo Bunny!

It's a bunny in eyeliner - who could resist the cuteness? If you want to read the comments, look for the March 11 entry - for some reason, I couldn't link to it directly.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. - Dead at 84

I enjoyed Vonnegut's writing - Welcome To The Monkeyhouse was one of my favorites - especially for "Harrison Bergeron", a story of political correctness and parity gone horribly wrong.


And I remember that several years ago, he'd given a commencement speech, and delivered these words: "If you want to frighten your parents, and you don't have nerve enough to be homosexual, go into the arts."


Rest in Peace, Mr. Vonnegut. You will be missed.

A couple of updates from recent entries:

1) The Hello Kitty Hissfits t-shirt wasn't available in the store, so I ordered it online. Hopefully I'll have it by the end of the week! :-) In light of that disappointment, I did get another Hello Kitty t-shirt - Apple of Your Eye - it's very cute, and fun! (But then, when isn't Hello Kitty fun?)

2) The ADD cooking - with the marinated for over 36 hours chicken? Yeah, that was quite crappy. The chicken appeared to be cooked in the lime juice, almost ceviche-style - and when it was actually prepared, some of the bigger pieces were still raw in the middle. We may try the recipe again - but this time, we'll be paying more attention to the marination time.

Now, for some more recent stuff. Yesterday was my sister's 16th birthday! I called her to wish her a happy birthday, and she told me that she'd gotten a job (at a tanning salon, cleaning the beds and doing laundry) - she's going to be saving the money from her job ... to come out and see me!! {I'd been petitioning my mom for years to let her come and visit ... only to be denied and/or have the request put off to the side. So, I'm thrilled, and jumping up and down inside, like a little kid.}


Today is Easter, and I'll be celebrating by making deviled eggs (yum) and going to the movies - Blades of Glory and/or Meet The Robinsons. I know, kind of unconventional, but quite fun!


That's all that's going for now ... I'll see how the rest of the day works out.

Okay - so as to avoid any spoilers for American Idol (for the one or two people that didn't watch it), I will just say that Kellie's boyfriend, Blake Lewis, is still safe. As is her "barely legal" crush, Jordin Sparks.

And I can't tease her too much about having a boyfriend - or a barely legal crush. She already gives me trouble over my crush on Patrick Stump ... and I'm in good company with several others that are counting down to Daniel Radcliffe's 18th birthday. :-D

Speaking of birthdays, a belated Happy Birthday to gardengnomegeek! (Sorry it's late!) And Happy Birthday to Ms. Dia therealsugshady!

Finally, it has been decided that there needs to be a collection of recipes for those of us that tend to be a bit on the ADD-side. This whole "marinate for two hours" deal is ridiculous. We have chicken in the refrigerator that has been marinating for almost *two days*, because of the whole skittish "ooooh shiny-itis" problem.

So considering this, there need to be recipes that read like this:

"Chop one red pepper ... oooh! puppy!"

"Heat oven to 350 degrees ... look at the little baby kitties!"

"Combine the first three ingredients ... oh my god, PONY!!"

That's not too much to demand ask, is it?

I'm only doing this because I don't want to add people to a filter, only to find out that they're not interested. Or possibly freaked out by what they read.

So, without further ado...

[Poll #957455]

Thanks for playing along! *smooch*

This one is rated NC-17 for a couple of C-Bombs.

( You, fellow transit riders, suck. Majorly. )

Now, I'm going to take some Advil Extra Strength (G*d bless CanadaPharmacy.com. Total life-saver) and run to the grocery store before making dinner.

Hopefully you've all had a better day than me! :-)

This puppy is the cutest thing *evar* ... baby Hemmy, anyone?

Let the squee-ing begin! :-)

Puppy!!

More puppy goodness!!

Okay, a few weeks back, I'd read in article in People Magazine, about "Ex-Gay Therapy", especially relating to Ted Haggard's claiming that he's "100% Heterosexual" after 3 weeks of treatment.

Someone that claimed to have been "cured" said that his turn-around point was when he'd had a dream of being married to a woman and having a family. Then, he apparently realized that he wanted to be straight. WTF?!?!?!? Dude, from time to time, I have sex dreams about men ... but it doesn't mean that I'm going to run off and fuck a guy, or want to get married and have kids. It's a dream. Not reality. *shrugs* I don't get it.

Ah well ... perhaps it's just not for me to understand.

Cleo (the Red Menace) is being a total asshole since Kellie is out of town. I keep threatening to sell him on eBay, put him on Craigslist, whore him out ... even trade him in for a new model at the animal shelter. Still looks at me like, "fuck off, bitch". Whatever. At least Teak (the Angry Black Man) is reasonably well-behaved. He just sits around, plays with cat toys - or Cleo, and occasionally yells at me for attention. None of Cleo's "I'll knock everything down, walk on the computer keyboard and turn on iTunes, and eat anything made of paper" shenanigans.

Okay ... bitching aside, things are going well. Today, I'm going to get my hair colored ... a project that will take 2-3 hours easily. My hope is that it'll look like this ... only more of a deep brown, than the black that Gina has. Of course, my hair will be shorter than hers ... but that's just to give an idea of what I want. :)

And yes, I will get before and after photos.


That's all for now! For my fellow geeks - Happy Pi Day! Thanks to fragbert for pointing that out to me. :)
