ugh ugh ugh

I am trying to follow the coverage on the testimonies being given during the Prop. 8 trial, but every time I read a testimonial from people "protecting the sanctity of traditional marriage," I start steaming from the ears and have to stop in order to save my sanity.

I have nothing intelligent to say about the whole ridiculous issue (which should not even be a fucking issue in the first place) other than ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHASDJHSGDFJhIUYERTJKHASBDFKYUAGWEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happened to the idea of the separation of church and state??? Has everyone completely lost their minds?!?!?

If you feel like following the ridiculous balderdash that is the conservative party:

So.. I was reading a copy of People magazine about how certain women stay "beautiful forever" and how women can be beautiful even as they age. Cool, I think. Finally something acknowledging that older women are something other than old hags. However, as I flipped through the magazine, I was looking through their lists (they have images of women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, etc) and I realized that all their lists stopped at the 50s. None of the lists of women mentioned anything about women over 60. They didn't even mention Meryl Streep!

I guess they should have retitled their article, "These celebrities are beautiful until they hit 60.... THEN they become old disgusting hags."

Thanks for that, People Magazine.

2010: A Cut Above The Rest

That was the motto for the Rose Parade this year. And I really reeally hope it's true, cause I think everyone agrees with me when I say we need it!

I painted my nails silver for the new year festivities. And Joan told me "Silver nails... I saw a movie where a girl had silver nails... oh, right, she was a prostitute."

I now possess ten hooker nails. And I am gosh dern proud of it.

Today was the most beautiful day, very appropriate for a start to a good year. (plus, there was a blue moon last night! Has to be some kind of omen.) The sky was a brilliant blue, with a few wispy clouds. The mountains, usually shrouded by smog, were in perfect clear view and I could see them all the way from south pasadena. They graced the sky on my drive back from Annabel's house and I sighed with a little bit of (bittersweet) happiness.

The sunset was magnificent! the entire sky was stained an orange-pink color, and the mountains looked as if someone had colored them in with an orange marker. So beautiful.

I tried to capture it on my phone, but it was difficult. I love how much I have come to appreciate the place I live since being gone. I just wish it wasn't so beautiful so I wouldn't miss it so much.

However.. Steering away from the negative.. here are some fun things (time-wasters) to read or watch that actually require brain cells to look at! (actually, not really. But I find then interesting and/or funny.)

Discover - Bad astronomy

My Very Worst Date

My Very Worst Roommate

Sarah Haskins in Target Women (best videoblog possibly ever)

Can't ever resist Oddee. So... many... lists... it's kind of like cracked.com - also very addictive

The fashion police. Because it's me. Shush.

Momversation - I think this is fascinating. Because I'm weird.

ALSO: caitlin showed me this HILARIOUS video. sooo gooodd hhahaha

I haven't written on this thing for a while.

Let's get this straight. Baltimore and I are in a rather rocky relationship. But California and I are also in a little bit of a rocky situation too.

I love California. I love being in California. I love looking and driving in California and seeing the mountains, and the palm trees and the beaches. Too bad the only person I really want to see is all the way on the other side of the country (what feels like the whole planet).

Woe is me.

TOO much lol?

I was lounging around in my room earlier this afternoon, and a question popped into my head: How many lolblogs do you think there are on the internet (interwebz, intertubez)? I decided I would try to find all the lol-type blogs on the interwebz.

Well, after researching a little, I have lost quite a few braincells and found a mind-boggling amount of lols, lolz, lulz, lals, and lawls. Dere iz soooo much stufz on da intewebzz its awesum!!!! I cud just sit heere all dai!!! and git marbidly obeese!!!! but at leest de katz, goggies, hawses, carz, celebriteez, politikz, kakez, tatooz, googlez, GRAPHZ,SIGNZ,BABIEZ,FOODZ,ANIMALZ,COMIX,WEDDINGZ, r funni!!!!!!

Without further ado:

lolcelebrities? roflrazzi (barf)

lol.. ..uh... political news? and an impostor (loliticz? really?)

lolsports

lol famous art (i know)

lolcars

average cats (um..)

and then this spawned the zillions and squillions of "doesn't-say-lol-but-lol-is-implied" (and usually sans-obnoxious misspelled words in Impact) websites. Usually has something to do with "fail" or "win" or "epic fail" or "epic win" or "super epic fail win" or "for the win" "fin eail win fail super epic win epic fail win" or "AAAAGGGHHHH" (or maybe that's just me)

for instance:

the ever-present failblog

"unecessary" "quotes"

Fark (weird and quotable news?) or Probably Bad News

why the fuck do you have a kid

passive aggressive notes

This is why you're fat

of course, the epic win

Engrish funny (as if there isn't already an engrish.com...?)

Crazy things parents say or My dad is a fob or my mom is a fob

Can't forget... My first fail for baby exploitation at it's finest

Nostalgia - also known as "once upon a win" -sob- goodbye childhood...

Om Nom Nom Nom ....dotcom

Stuff White People Like

Awkward Family Photos.... how could I forget this one!

aaand... Sketchy Santas!

I think if i ever heard anyone actually say the word "squee" I might implode.

And then...... can't forget the ones where you can read little minutiae about people's lives!!!!!!!!

fmylife

lmylife (try and guess what that one is)

My life is great

My life is average

My life is awkward

My life is crap

My life is desi (??)

My life is so many things.......

it made my day (little moments of win - ugh-)

makes me think

average wizards (huh??)

the customer is not always right

texts from last night

and of course....

the most terrifying of them all......

my life is twilight

and then I went Hughhhh! Arrghhhh! BlrarhaghhhHHhhHblubglubkjadfh

and then I drowned in blogs and had to stop cause I started feeling a little nauseous. I also started feeling like this guy:

ick. I also came upon this site of terrifying internet memes (mostly from 4chan, of course, that SUPER EVIL internet hate machine full of super-hackers on steroids.)

However, if you clicked on all those blogs, I feel sorry for you - I mean - cough - good going. And if you're seduced by all the lulz, there's always the lolMart. The list is to be continued when I recover from my lolventures.

Crepe with mouth?

crepe with mouth!
