saw some dong this weekend...

Pretty fun weekend...so much laughing...gawd you forget how fun your family is until they are around. Everyone's beating the door down to the bathroom to avoid peeing their pants laughing so hard. Pam almost rocketing a Wii remote through the TV was a highlight...Pam & Maggie shop until they drop but the thing is they never drop...they are immortal vampire-like shoppers while I am not in love with shopping...very mortal and generally avoid shopping whenever I can...their fun company though is what keeps it tolerable...the quesadilla maker they bought us has not rendered my boob wounded though so this is good. I have eaten quesadillas every day since they left...no injury...which is good b/c the waffle steam burn is really ugly now...no pain just a scabby piece o' titty bacon. Single IT IS fellas...single it is.

Saturday nights venture into Big John Bates land was...well...inferior to past ventures. The venue – Soprano's – sucks the balls of monkeys, donkeys and llamas. Soprano's is a douche bag bar and the problem with events such as these is the douche bag crowd is still there when a cool act is booked so it is a drag to have to be in the presence of such douchebaggery when you are going to see someone great play. When BJB plays Lucky Bar the vibe is TOTALLY different b/c the douche bag element is removed entirely...plus the stage is set up so that the band is showcased...at Soprano's – not blocked out by the retarded drunks flailing up front. Even Logan's would have been better...ugh – I hate you Soprano's. I bought a few cds that I have been dying to own though so I am now able to get my BJB fix...it appears the Voodoo Dollz portion of the show is done now though which is too bad as I quite enjoy that but the new sound on the new EP I picked up with Brandy Bones doing more vocals is pretty hot shit. While perusing the internet for BJB info I read he was the original singer for that Canadian mental band Annihilator...omfg I howled at that...I checked out an old pic of him from the time and that was amusing...as are most 80s/90s metal personas. I like where he went with his career...he has seen the world doing what he loves...cannot get much better than that.

We have a new fridge at work...it has a freezer. This will FOR CERTAIN change my life...ICE WATER at work...ice cold gel packs to combat the heat...freezies...I can bring in frozen stuff I make at home to eat for lunch at work without the bother of doing it daily...omg SO AWESOME...it is the small stuff in life that keeps me jolly.

MAGIC MIKE: Horny Lisa & I went to see it... and really it was not as useless and cheesie as I expected...The visual effects (haha) were fantastic – I mean really...what is better than a buncha hot guys who can dance gyrating around without the horror of having to see their penis? I have always preferred female strippers...mainly b/c having to see the goofy appendage of male strippers ruins the whole fun of it in my opinion...they should keep their junk covered at all times. It was a decent movie though – will it change your life – NOPE...but it isn't gawd awful either...and if you like hot guys dancing around – you will not be disappointed.

I saw more wiener in the movie WANDERLUST which I watched last night via the nudist in the movie was exposed a lot...so his dong is forever etched into the bowels of my mind...in fact the scene where the group of nudists run away from a careening vehicle is completely horrifying....be warned. I will say though that the scene where Paul Rudd is looking in the bathroom mirror trying to pump himself up to sleep with the resident hottie...I DIED...I was DYING...I laughed so hard...hysterically could not stop watching him go on and on saying the stupidest shit on earth in the most stupid ways...that scene...jfc...slayed me. Not sure if it will make anyone else on earth laugh like I did but....what else is new?! http://youtu.be/K-Cjn7JMqgE I just watched 4 seconds of it and had to turn it off b/c I was starting to laugh so hard....

cutest thing ever

A non-English speaking Asian family just came to my door to pick up a free spoon rack I was giving away (it was something Tracey was getting rid of that did not sell so it went online as a free giveaway thing) and insisted I take this bag in trade - this transpired in gestures and smiles due to them not speaking English of course...I accept it and say thank you and when I look its a 6 pack of A&W Root Beer...hahahaha That is the cutest thing EVER...what the hell! ahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pretty sure the next lady to show up to take the hideous collector plates and rack will not be near as exciting. (UPDATE: the bag never showed)

On the flip side...my uterus is waging war on me right now...if you have ever wondered what it feels like to have a small sharp clawed creature living inside of you that once a month gets incredibly ornery and vicious, trying to claw its way to daylight well -  let me tell you about it...it is not fucking cool...the most uncool part is I have at least 10+ yrs of this shit yet and every year it gets worse to the point that severe menopause is something I am looking fwd to...I won't gross you out with the gory details - just know that if I am EVER arrested for murder check the calendar b/c I guarantee if I didn't do it to save myself or my daughter I did it b/c I was suffering from menstrual psychosis.

I am checking out Jeff Buckley at the moment...another dead musician I am sure to find affection for...

....there is something about what I have listened to so far that is drawing me in...not bashing me over the head to get my attention...just drawing me in....so onward I shall explore the small collection of music Jeff Buckley left us in the wake of his accidental drowning....I feel like Aunty Pam would like him (take note Aunty Pam)...

Company this weekend...Pam and Maggie are coming to town...Pam's tattoo is getting finished (hopefully?) and us 3 gals have tickets to go see BIG JOHN BATES Sat. night...I am stoked for that..I love him! Rockabilly awesomeness...too bad it is at Soprano's though - fack I hate that place. But it is going to be fun...Donna will be joining us too...

relief

Oct 31 2009

Everyone feeling ghoulish?
I am settled in for a quiet night of thin crust pizza and a movie. (EDIT: already ate it and watched it, I LOVE YOU MAN)

Today I helped Erin and Amanda move...so I am broken but it was great to meet their good friends Elaine and Carmen, who I've heard so much about it just seemed like I knew them already...
Moving their crap has inspired me to start getting rid of more stuff....haha

Last night...omg was so fun! The music was friggin divine and the eye candy was crippling!
I didn't know where to look...hot stand up bass grrl, Big John Bates or the nudie chicks! Its a wonder I don't have whiplash.

Had a fab chat with Alex today...inspired me to take care of some unfinished business I had been waiting to deal with...my summer hump, while fizzled ages ago due to issues of incompatibility and general weariness, has turned out to not be NEAR the honest and upfront person previously claimed and it was clear pretending to be pals was not something I could do in good conscience being that any integrity I thought was there no longer existed. It is a shame b/c aside from his cocky, player bullshit persona I think there is a good person in there but I am too old to wade through misogyny, dishonesty & other such bs to have a so-called friendship with someone who really is not interested in a real, genuine friendship at all. I will miss the banter but in the end that's all it was...there was nothing genuine about anything that went on, that much is clear and while it is too bad b/c there was a bizarre kinship there it's also hardly the end of the world. It feels better this way...

Considered trekking to Nanaimo tonight but moving went too late...plus I have lunch plans with Thomas who is in town tomorrow from Winterpeg! That should be fun...he is a hoot.

OMG 7 days til MATT GOOD!!!!! Weeeeeeee!!!!
