ahhhhhhsumness, i haz it

You have to wow the jury with your closing argument… what do you say?”

“There are no cats in America”

Did you ever see that movie? The one about the Russian mice who immigrate to America and the baby mouse, Feival gets separated from his parents?

How many people blindly vote with their party, never willing to listen to what the other party says? I’d like to know– honestly. Have YOU sat and listened to both sides give their speeches? (Probably the answer is yes because you are [...]

10 Favorite Drinks

It’s been forever and a day since I’ve participated in 10 on Tuesday…

Pineapple Orange juice: I got hooked on this in Hawaii, and post gastric bypass, the pineapple cuts the acid of the orange juice so it’s a citrus juice I can drink without pain.

I wouldn’t vote for either one of you (so Pete Wilson you’re wasting your breath endorsing either one of these morons, I hope you got paid well) on threat of death.

aaaaaaalvin!

I forgot: we took the kidlets to see Alvin and The Chipmunks today. It was adorable. I was afraid it wouldn’t be, and for a little while I just felt old, sitting next to my 7 year old thinking… “you know, I remember watching the Chipmunk movie on the weird color tv out on the [...]

pictures and stuff

big stuff this week, Brigitte and I got our hair dyed– mine has purple streaks. Here’s a photo that explains why you shouldn’t pull faces while taking pictures…

hahaha. I love the way the hairdresser behind me is pulling a face too… while I was getting my hair rinsed he was showing off his halloween costume; [...]
