Happy Birthday, msbelle!

thanks y'all. almost bedtime for bonzo here. all day was in a meeting, but otherwise a good day.

Happy birthday, msbelle.

One weekend, I swear all of the ads I saw were for this ear cleaner machine thing. The best part of the ad was the stupid people stabbing themselves in the head with a q-tip and screaming "OW!"

I hated that ad. Sometimes I just let commercials run but when that was on heavy rotation, I was on it with the remote and watched nothing live. So, you know, not just an ineffective commercial for one product but actively made me avoid every single commercial.

I know someone who worked at a place (I am vagueing it up like whoa) where they got a shipment of severed human heads. It was legit. But they weren't supposed to talk about it. Because apparently people get skeeved when they realize that sometimes shipments contain severed human heads.

I don't think it has ever occurred to me before this conversation that sometimes shipments contain severed human heads. Ever.

It made me think twice about the unexpected packages I got at the post office today, I'll tell you what. But it was okay, it turned out to be steno pads and pretzel m&ms.

I'd much prefer a package of steno pads and pretzel m&ms to a package of severed human heads.

So, the cats were locked in the bathroom with a towel shoved in the cracks today while pest control was here. Miss Kitty wasn't thrilled. Noodle on the other hand is still freaked out and we let her out a few hours ago. She has been GLUED to my side since I got home. The couple of times I got up without her ended with her yowling pitifully.

I'm currently snuggled in bed with her and as I typed this she got up on her own and has wandered away. And is back...live updates as they happen.

DCJ, thinking of you and your mom.

Burrell, I don't know where the sciatica nerve is!

I had someone in my class observing today and it was the day that the kids from the group home wanted to share about life in juvie. Sigh.

Okay. I have laundry and packign to do.

Kat, you with a specific program or just school for the Inaug?

I am curious about what makes the headline "Paparazzi Snaps Nude Photos of Rihanna Changing on Her Balcony" organic? The implication that Riri stepped out of her room to change because she'd rather everyone in the world other than the people in her hotel room see her naked than those she's with...assuming these are legit photos, why even bother printing them? Aren't you up front and centre admitting you're a tool?

I have a Revenge question about Nolan (other than the inhuman sexiness of his vocal affectation--that's delish): when he lost his company, how much money did he lose? It doesn't seem to have made a difference.

There was a gorgeous dress Padma was wearing in the last episode, enough that I'm downloading the ep for screencaps. It's simple enough, but I can't describe it properly--a red A-line dress with form fitting bodice, high round neck, no sleeves, and a thin black belt at the natural waist.

Makes me kind of irritated that the last shopping I did where I had the choice between a red and black dress of the same style, I picked black. AGAIN. Don't I already know that's the wrong answer?

Speaking of answers, I need to learn to avoid outfits that make me look like I have no torso. I'm five eight! There's distance between my boobs and my navel! But in too many of my outfits you can't really tell. I need better shopping discipline.

Today was a waste of 24 hours. Or I wasted them. Either way. I have been flat on my back all day, not in any positive way.
