eleven dreams

Thanks, JA!

this is pretty much my idea of perfection.  not too “modelesque” or pretty, but absolutely breathtaking… looks like someone to keep me warm.  in many ways.

ok, i need to slap myself out of this fog.

to be more accurate, it was this morning’s dream.  it occurred between 6:20AM when I heard my husband get out of the shower and 6:42AM when he turned the light on and woke me up.

i was in the old house i grew up in on long island.  my high school crush had come over to hang out with me, and he said that he needed a record player.  i told him to follow me and we went upstairs, and i pulled out some old turntable i had stowed away somewhere.  we were sitting on the floor of the hallway, and he was playing different records… they were not music, more like spoken word or even something science related.  my mom kept bothering us, like stepping around us to get the laundry and stuff.  she sat down next to me eventually and winked at me, like, “i can see why you like this boy, he is totally cute”.  and i knew that she knew we were sleeping together… so once i realized she wasn’t going to leave us alone i glared at her and said, “mom get the FUCK out of here”.  my boyfriend blushed and chuckled to himself and my mom pretended to look appalled but she really found it funny.  she left.

woke up.

At the end of the day, I am pleased that the “good guys” had the upper hand. What saddens me is the majority chose not to take a side at all.

This made me laugh!  I can’t add anything funnier to it than what has already been said… here’s what I found on Gawker today:

” Martha Stewart’s show today was all about pot! Pot pot pot! Jimmy Fallon was there, and he talked about pot! But right in the middle of the winky-drug jokes GOD INTERVENED.

And thank Him for it! Martha was all slurring her way through the first of what was to be an hour of weird drug double-entendres (Jimmy was going to make chili in a CROCK-POT, see?), but no, time to listen to Cardinal Egan introduce the new archbishop instead.”

Just go HERE and watch the video.  Too funny.

Love this video, love the song even more.

OMFG.  Best one yet, this season.

They're baaaaack

This is one of the most disturbing and yet oddly fascinating pieces of literature I’ve read in a while.  I’ve always been interested in the human body from a scientific perspective,  and my “gag reflex” is pretty strong… meaning, it takes a lot to gross me out.  This almost did it, on the last page…. but more than disgust I was overwhelmed with sympathy for the poor sap.  Read on, and then go order a salad.

The Worm Within, by Vincent Eaton (click the last word to get to the next page)

I just discovered this guy and I LOVE HIM!  Every so often a new artist comes into my life and completely speaks to my current state of mind.  This is one of those moments… life is so good.  SO.  GOOD.

Eff you, YouTube user for not letting me embed!  Bah!

If I wasn’t pregnant I would TOTALLY TRY THIS.  Must remind self to revisit this post after the first week of August:

“Infusing vodka with Skittles is a very popular trend right now. There are a couple of different ways to do it. My way involves separating all the Skittles into their separate flavors and making five different bottles of Skittles vodka. MORE…”

For the record, I’m not a Daughtry fan.  I don’t dislike their music, per se, it’s just not my thang.  Still, I hear them on the radio every now and then… their latest song, “What About Now”, always makes me think of the song “Alone” by Heart.   Finally I remembered to look them both up to see if my suspicions were founded – and I think they are!  Granted, it’s only the first few bars of the Daughtry song that sounds so much like “Alone”, but nonetheless, I’m convinced that they’re eerily alike.  Intentional or not, I have issues with artists that copy other artists (Ahem, Coldplay!  Er, cough cough…).  So there you have it.  Judge for yourself:

Dammit, they won’t let me embed it, so click here to hear the song

Heart – Alone (YouTube)

UPDATED: People, I KNOW the majority of the song is very different.  I only meant to compare the intro’s…
