f9/11

this is actually a comment on a boy and his computer, but it isn't taking. i'll post it here instead. ok... i saw the movie yesterday. i liked it. my mom loved it. my parents moved to flint in 1966. i was born there in 67. we moved away in 82. my mom moved back in 86 and lived there for 6 more years. she has met michael moore, and knows people who know his parents, they live in burton, not flint. i hated roger and me. hated it. it wasn't the flint i remembered as a child. since … [Read more...]

bb5 feed

so, i'm watching the bb5 feed instead of reading, or knitting. i'm sure i could do two things at once, but i've decided to just watch the feed. warning... spoilers in the extended entry.... so i'm starting to absolutely hate marvin. every other word that comes out of his mouth is a swear word... he talks about masturbation all the time, and apparently he classifys women as fish... i have no idea why they picked this guy... absolutely no idea. i really wish that he had a chance to be out … [Read more...]

countdown

tonight mom and i watched countdown on msnbc... he had this guy on who was talking about rupert murdoch and the fox news network. who knows who this guy was, i don't... but here is the point: the dude had a bald head. then, the dude was wearing rimless eye glasses on top of his head. rimless eye glasses with a black frame. it looked like he had two black antennae growing off the side of his head. didn't someone in the studio tell him how stupid he looked? i mean really... someone … [Read more...]

big brother feed, is it really necessary?

when i still worked at aspect, and i think bb2 was on, i watched the feed all the time. i just adored the feed. i didn't really watch, i just listened. maybe that's why i got laid off... too much feed, not enough work. i even was known to watch the san diego zoo panda cam. of course, the panda is in china now, so it's not available, but i did love my feeds. last year gigglechick got the feed and i was totally jealous. i wanted to watch, but i was too cheap. by the time i decided i … [Read more...]

mom & me in vancouver

my mom is on the right with the beautiful white hair. that's me on the left, looking more like my dad each day. i'm not sure i'm happy about that. thats me in the chinese gardens... and me in front of a totem pole. i'm not sure i like that skirt as much as i used to now... me in front of virgin mega store, with the elvis whale. these whales were all over the city. … [Read more...]

random memories of my vacation

so, i've got some random memories i thought i might share from my trip: a homeless girl sitting on the corner near the gaslight district (painting her fingernails of all things to do on a corner) yelled at us for not giving her money. she said that we had no compassion because she was pregnant and it wasn't her fault and it was our responsibility to take care of her. yeah, ok. let's go with that. mom lost her credit card sunday night. spent monday morning trying to take care of the problem, … [Read more...]

quiz anyone?

from notanotherdoll, who got it from shabbydoll: 20 questions to a better personality: You are an SECF--Sober Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a hippie. You are passionate about your causes and steadfast in your commitments. Once you've made up your mind, no one can convince you otherwise. Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste. You do tremendous work when focused, but usually you operate somewhat distracted. You blow hot and … [Read more...]
