Summer Dress-Off 2006

So each year Ann and I have a Dress-Off contest to see who has the cutest summer dresses. I have won every year since the Dress-off was started, on both domestic and internation levels.

So, we all know who has the cuter summer dresses (me) and whose dresses really kind of suck (Ann). But try to be nice to Ann, tell her she looks cute!

p.s. I will totally kick ass in the halter-top dress section of the contest, there's no way Ann and her megaboobs are getting into one of those!

Hey Mississippi - suck it....

It's like a horrible nightmare:

We need your help NOW to stop the domino effect. The abortion ban in South Dakota was only the beginning. In the next five days, we expect Gov. Haley Barbour to make Mississippi the second state to ban abortions. And 10 more states have proposed criminalizing abortion. Act now to stop the dominoes from falling. Add your voice to the outcry to protect the women of Mississippi from a dangerous ban.

I love The Smiths – you probably do to (if you have any taste in music). There’s a lot of us out there who hadn’t heard “The Queen is Dead” or “Louder Then Bombs” when The Smiths broke up. Spent the formative years listening to the music but too young to have seen the band. Maybe I’ve been reading “How Soon is Never” too much, but I’ve been thinking a lot about The Smith reuniting.

What would you give to see The Smiths play again??

Memories....

Weren’t we cute (and young)??
Well that happy couple is about to celebrate the three year anniversary of their break-up. That’s right Rich and I have managed to maintain our relationship in these trying times –three years and going strong.
Here’s to us - well mostly me and a teeny bit Rich.

Taking a break from the great "basset hound vs. rottweiler" debate - it's time to babble about another really cute animal - PENGUINS.

Here are some interesting penguin facts:
· Penguins are among the most social of all birds
· During the breeding season, female penguins are sometimes identifiable by muddy footprints on their backs, left by males during mating activity
· Penguins communicate by vocalizing and performing physical behaviors called displays (this would be considered “cheating” if done while playing charades)

I’ve decided that my ideal date is making out while watching “March of the Penguins”.

This blog entry is dedicated to John Cannings….

This picture is of the Black Hills National Cemetery, South Dakota. Funny how you never really think about a state until its governor states that should a woman conceive as a result of rape, she must carry the child to term.

But then again if she was raped, she must have asked for it. Maybe her skirt was too short, or she was in a bar, or she made the mistake of walking down the street after sunset. A lot of rape/sexual assaults occur on college campuses - therefore females should stop getting degrees. A lot of rapes take place in outside of the home - therefore females should leave the workforce.

The above picture shows the graves of people who died fighting for our "freedom". Soon South Dakota might have the distinct privilege of showing pictures of the graves of those who dies in botched abortion attempts, after having to suffer the horror and indignity of rape. But then again she probably asked for it.

God Bless America.

Well, Christmas came twice this year! Jonathan Liebesman will be remaking Friday 13th.

If you're like me, and the world needs more of us, then this will give you the will to live. There's just something about b-horror movies.

It's supposed to be coming out in October, so I will have to keep the month free for the opening (sorry Nate and Jenny - I'll be at your wedding in spirit). Since this is a huge event, just like senior prom, I must give careful consideration to who I should bring with me. So, Ryan Kelly will you go to see the remake of Friday the 13th with me?? (please circle yes or no).

Dear Ann,

Thanks for all the pictures of Rottweilers – they sure were great!
But here is the cutest dog ever invented – the Basset Hound!

Not only are they really fucking cute, but they won’t kill you (like certain other breeds).

Some day I will own one, his name will be F. Scott and he will have playdates with Phil Collins (Ann’s Rottweiler).

Some fun Basset facts:
1. Sensitive and stubborn nature. A Basset takes punishment and reprimands to heart. Can be stubborn and conveniently “hard of hearing.”

2. Calm, good-natured and affectionate. Gets along well with people and other dogs and pets. Good with children. Loves to be a lap dog. Not a good guard dog.

3. A scent hound. The Basset was bred to trail game. His keen nose can lead him into dangerous situations such as the path of a speeding car or an unfenced swimming pool. The Basset is safest in a secure, enclosed area.

Aw, VD....

On this, the most romantic of all days (second only to Arbor Day and perhaps the UK bank holidays) thought I'd give a "shout out" to the couples who have managed to keep it together in these dark days of discontent. Here's to you:

Ann & Mike, Pete & Dave, Shirl & Steve, Rachel & Josh, Rich & His Ego, Jenny & Nate, Mel & Bob.

For the rest of you, remember - love is like a bottle of gin, but a bottle of gin is not like love....

Here's to VD - enjoy the day, enjoy the penicillin!

So it's that time of year again when we celebrate trying to show our love for one another in tacky cards, allergy-inducing flowers, and expensive displays of thoughtfulness. But instead of ranting about forced emotions and failed relationships, I'd like to post a story of the "real thing". This story almost makes me...what's it called when a saline-like liquid falls from your eyeballs??

Atlantic City. Approximately 8 am. $460 dollars in the hole. Two friends spooning shirtless in the bed next to us. Pounding and screaming down the hall.I took a valium, ate a few of Dave's cookies, and attempted to wash the Jersey off my face. Nate pointed out the blood and/or fecal stains on the box spring of our bed. I giggled. I lovingly turned down the polyester covers from the bed, tossing aside the dog-eared porn magazine so generously left by the suite's previous occupants. Nate held me in his sweaty arms, and told me that I'm pretty, even with booze coming out of my pores."Can I ask you something retarded?" (or ridiculous...we can't confirm the exact adjective used)"Sure""Would you marry me?""Sure. We can use the tax breaks.""Really? Seriously?""Yeah! Why not?" Amor.

You've Come a Long Way Baby...

Supreme Court Then
“Our cases long have recognized that the constitution embodies a promise that a certain sphere of individual liberty will be kept largely beyond the reach of government. That promise extends to women as well as to”
[RIP] Hon. Harry Blackmun (wrote decision for Roe v. Wade)

Supreme Court Now
"proud of my contributions in recent cases in which the government has argued in the Supreme Court that racial and ethnic quotas should not be allowed and that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion." Hon. Samuel Alito

Our Uterus

2006-02-10T08:21:00.000-08:00

I used to think of it as "my uterus".

Now I seem to have some company, namely Alito, Scalia, and the glorious neo-cons.

Hey guys, it's getting kind of crowded in here.....

So Unique....

In theses times of mass conformity I have tried to maintain some individuality. In my quest to stand out amongst the masses I moved to NYC, got several tattoos, and have friends in bands. Being the trendsetter that I am, I now have a blog.

So for stimulating dialogue, intriguing political insight, and keen social assessment - keep looking. "The morning after...the night before" is all about my “insights” into life. Those who know me will know what this means.
