where's my present?!

It's one week till Christmas! Have you done all of your shopping? No worries, if not you still have 6 days, and if you celebrate Christmas 'after Christmas' then you will have loads and loads of bargains.

I wish I had a fraction of the money that bastard Madoff swindled, if I did I would buy all my loveys presents. (I am not condoning stealing people's money, btw. I hope that guy rots in a cell with a roomie named Tiny) Anyways, since I'm not loaded, I thought I give you a present in celebration of the holidays from my heart to yours:

My Peeps

There was an article on CNN about 1000+ new species found along the Mekong River which spans Southeast Asia - Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia. It was a pretty good article and encouraging considering all the other species mankind is killing out. However as I was scanning the images I couldn't help but notice the caption for a Rat type creature that was thought to been extinct for some 11 million years. I mean this is big news! So why did they find the little critter in a food market? Whassup with that? Was he scampering for food or worse... being sold as? I think we all know the truth! Worse part is... he's kinda cute. I hope he lives another 11 million years and surpasses the existance of humans. We can be so cold.

aww

I've got puppy fever!!!

It's lethal! I shall call this puppy fifi jr. Don't tell my dog.

Operation Insert Brain _here_

So.... they say that time will heal all wounds but what if it doesn't? What if your wound never heals, festers, and gets infectioned and you have to have an appendage amputated? HUH!? I've consulted the dark forces (Dr. ToB) to formulate a way to move forward and have up come up with a possible solution. But I need your help in deciding which option would work best.



I'm trying to be a better person but it's hard.....

How the mighy have fallen

Okay.... some would argue, mighty? But seriously in his heyday, Boy George was awesome. He could sing, had personality, charisma and was a bit delusional - but who isn't - especially if you are famous. I love listening to the Best of Culture Club cd and bebopping along with Karma Chameleon. But the days of galavanting about are long gone for BG. Getting older, more mature is no fun but everyone has to do it and when done with grace, aging can be a nice thing. So even if he didn't have the legal issue with enslaving an escort - really, REALLY? he should atleast have the gumption to calm it the hell down with the crazy makeup. Seriously, whorish eye shadow and lip gloss does not do wonders for double chins.

My Hero

I was scanning through the Ugly Betty site, in a lame attempt to catch up via reading the episode guide and noticed Amanda's blog. OMG, I freakin luv her - she's sooo evil and punchy and hilarious. Who else would write for their Thanksgiving blog entry that they are first thankful that God made them pretty? I luv luv luv her.

Sadly, I haven't been watching the show as much cause it's a little played out and not as funny if you don't have someone special to watch it with and make fun of people. So sad.

Hell in a handbasket

It seems like things are going:

Crap. Interesting times we live in. I feel bad for the elderly and people on fixed income.

I've got 80 more years to work until I retire. (and by retire I mean die because there will no longer be retirement for my generation) In fact, I may need to consider whether I want kids, initially my stand has been 'Nay'. However, kids does equal indentured servants and place where I can watch QVC and have my grandkids steal money out of my purse. A place I can lie my cane and torment loved ones, and most importantly guilt into caring for me forever and ever.

Crumbs. I wasn't intending on procreating but since there will be no social security and my 401k has sponteneaously combusted I may need to reconsider. This sucks. It will be interesting to see what will happen the next year or so. I'm thinking things won't get better until 3rd or 4th quarter next year. What would be neat to track is the increase of crime and suicide rate. Not everybody has the capability to overcome hardships.

A great side effect is that people will develop a better understanding of living within their means and become economically savvy. It's a tough lesson but in the end so many people will benefit.
