Revenge Of The Katrina

Well, I actually DID get a child support check FINALLY. I thought it was a little light, and I asked Todd why it was and he said "No, that's not what you're getting a month, it's what you're getting a week."(!) So that got me all excited, but here it is, a week and a half later and I haven't got another check... So I don't know what's really up. But ONE check is better than NO check.

I gotta tell you. Nothing makes a person officially hate Christmas than working retail! Work is SUCKING right now. I have more to do in my new position in the store, than I did the last two Christmases. It's like BAM! Halloween got over and the next day Christmas showed up. I want it to be over!

Best Movie I Saw: Revenge Of The Nerds. This gem of a film came out in 1984, and I forgot how stupid and funny and sweet it was. It's a classic story line, moronic jocks (hell, even one of the main jock characters is named "Ogre") vs. the good guy, dweebie dorks. The good guys win in the end. Of course. But I couldn't help thinking that during an early scene in the frat house, you know the one where the Alpha Betas fill a swimming pool with beer and dive into it? That in real life, nobody is stupid enough to waste beer like that. Not even them. We also watched a great little "low budget" flick called Behind Closed Doors. Yep. You got it. It's a porno. And it was GREAT! Well, great for a porno anyway. You can tell it was really geared towards women. The men seemed to really focus on pleasing the woman. The scenes were even romantic, and not focused on gagging and drooling over a fat cock for ten minutes. Let's just say it did it's job. Which is to turn us on (well, I know I was, how much he was, I don't know and I frankly don't care!).

Best Song I Heard: WE WENT TO SEE GODSMACK LAST NITE!!!!!!!! It was FAN TAS TICK! I knew it would be good but I wasn't expecting greatness and I was blown away. I was shocked and delighted by the level of talent in that band. I truly had a fabulous time. The personal hightlight for me: Shine Down. It's on their new album apparently and I had not heard it before. But here's a sample of the lyrics:


But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone that's up above
Show me a path to find my way
And give me a reason pray

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

See? pretty cool huh?

Book I'm Reading: Well, I'm supposed to be reading Cesar's Way by Cesar Millian but it hasn't arrived yet. It was ordered on Ebay. It's a last ditch attempt to fix my wayward dog. Wayward, yes, but very sweet and lovable too. It's the new dog. The stray one the kids brought home. If I can't get her to change her wicked little doggy ways, we might have to take her to the pound. It's the destruction of property that's the worst thing and don't get me started on the sorry state of my dog piss stained carpet! So, I'll just have to settle for the new issue of Vanity Fair, with a half naked Brad Pitt on the cover.

Current Sewing Project: I have a pair of pajama pants that are really ugly and all I have left to do is hem the bottom. My plan is to try to sell them on Ebay. If Ugly Betty is such a hit show, then why can't I start a trend of wearing really ugly clothes? I think that these pants are the perfect accessory to a pair of dirty scuffed yellow Crocs.

Top News Story: It's the Election, stupid! Should I vote today? Yeah. I should. but technically I shouldn't because even tho I'm registered, I haven't told them my new address. Never mind that I've lived here for almost three years. I still have my old address on my driver's license. For the last Presidential election, I walked into the polling place for my old address and voted there. My mother said SHAME ON YOU! Whatever. John Kerry didn't win anyway! I think that the Dems are gonna sweep the nation this time. The nation as a majority was a MORON for electing a DUMBASS. TWICE. You can't tell me that we are gonna be that stupid again. I know that the polarizing issue for this country is Iraq, but I think that the second most important thing that will have swung this nation into reality is Katrina. All that support from those Southern Red-Staters is not so much there anymore. Those fuckers are PISSED. Even if you don't live in Mississippi or Lousiana (or Alabama), what happened there is a little too close to home. If a Major Natural Disaster Of That Magnitude occurred in say Iowa (which is my neighboring state) I'd feel their pain, and vote accordingly. And if you are a Republican congressional candidate who is stupid enough to say you stand by Bush all the way, you can kiss your seat goodbye!

I'm so torn. In the next Presidential primary, if I had to choose between Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton, I don't know who I'd pick. I might just say Hilary because I want to see a woman president during my lifetime. But I'd love to see a black person be president in my lifetime too. Personality wise I like Barack better. But I love Bill Clinton, even if he is a total man-whore! And what a refreshing change to see a man relegated to First Lady duties for a change. How cool would that be? A man in charge of Just Say No and D.A.R.E. and R.I.F.! A man who is expected to do the re-decorating in the White House, a man who is to personally supervise the Christmas decorations, and the official photos of the white house dog! Jeez! I just don't know! Decisions, decisions...

Sigh... At least I've got two years to make up my mind. And a whole hell of a lot of shit can happen in that span of time you know!
