Yay Wednesday night! Tomorrow I have the day off, so tonight I'm gonna party like it's.........Wednesday night!
I came dangerously close to adopting a dog tonight that looked like this:

Except she wasn't wearing a cut-up old sock. Then I put my foot down, and said I'd never get a dog that was from a puppy store in a mall, and that's FINAL. Plus, she was a lot of money. I won't say how much, but I started trying to figure out how much room I might have on each of my credit cards to buy her. I can't bear the thought of my little could've-been-baby sleeping in a glass window in that horrible pet store. She needs love and kisses, and a really fat orange cat named Fizzie to bond with. But I must be patient, the right dog will come along, and she'll be from a shelter and really, really need a loving home and a fat orange cat named Fizzie to bond with. In the meantime, Fizz will have to wait too.

I also want to say congratulations to Lisa, for getting a kick ass start on her book! I keep forgetting the name of the NanoMoBook thing she's doing, but dammit, she's off to a great start! Keep up the good work my sister, and one day maybe Hilary Swank will star in the movie version. Or maybe Charlize Theron, since she's the new Oscar-buzz girl. We should only be so lucky to have Charlize! She's from South Africa, you know.
Pip, pip! Cheerio!

*for British eyes onlyyyyyyy!*

Here's my costume. I was Little Red Riding Hood Who Kicked The Wolf's Ass With Her Nunchucks. You can't see it in the picture but I'm wearing my shark's tooth (which I am pretending is a wolf's tooth) around my neck.
We had so much fun at Greg's party, but I had quite the hangover this morning. Too much beer for Little Red. Lisa's costume looked awesome, and as soon as I load some pictures onto my computer I'll post some. She was the lady from "The Birds". And Greg made a kick ass chainsaw hand, and was Ash from "Evil Dead". Good times! Me on the other hand, I remember at one point putting my cup of beer in my basket, and taking swigs out of it. It probably looked funny, but I don't think anyone saw it. Other than that, I did some tap dancing and got into a heated Harry Potter discussion and Kane ate a Nestle Crunch Pumpkin witht the foil still on it. Ah, Halloween!
Have a great Halloween everybody!!

Last night before bed I was reading the news on azcentral.com. I happened to read about this, and ended up having this big, involved dream where I had to spread the word that C.C. Deville was going to jail, and had to tell people all over the place about him being arrested. I ended up at a water park somewhere that the people didn't speak english, and I was trying to explain who Poison was, and why CC was so important to America's future. There were also puppies on rafts going down the water slide. Then I woke up.
I think this dream must mean that I will become rich, but will lose all of my teeth.

In my quest for a halloween costume, I found this.

Yeah, that's a guy fucking a sheep. We as americans have hit a new low. Not only is he committing beastiality, but he also has the flap on the back of his long johns unbuttoned so his big white ass is comically sticking out.
This is the kind of costume that ruins the party.

I'm cleanin' house, bitches!
Tonight I went though my closet and got rid of 16 pairs of shoes, and 4 pairs of slippers. Earlier tonight I thought to myself,"Self, you have 4 pairs of plain black boots, and NONE of them fit you right or are comfortable. What the hell is your problem??". After giving myself a bloody nose and later apologizing to myself in the mirror, I decided to unload some of my extras. I don't need 100 pairs of shoes. No one does(unless they have 200 feet of course). Thursday I will drive them over to the salvation army, where they will no doubt provide salvation to all the needy stylish people out there.
I need to do this with my jeans too, because I keep buying more and more pairs all the time, and still none of them fit exactly right except for my one pair from American Eagle. They're the only pair I ever like to wear, but I can't only have one pair of jeans! I'd get kicked out of the girl club for sure! But I think I might do the tough love thing and give away exactly half of my jeans. Most of them I can't fit into anymore anyway, but it's somehow painful to admit that to yourself, and also admit that you've given up hope that they WILL fit again.
So that's what's going on with me. Let's see what's happening in your neck of the woods.....

Sunday, October 16, 2005

One last thought before I sign off for the night.
Kane and I saw The Legend of Zorro the other night at a free screening. Not to ruin anything for you guys, but they should have called this movie "Zorro Gets Divorced and Hilarity Ensues!". This movie is a mix of the first Zorro movie and Looney Tunes and some other movie about divorces in the early 1800's. Also, were there divorces in the 1800's? I don't know about that....

"Shh! Don't tell anyone that divorces were not common practice in this time period, por favor! Sí!"
Anyway, see it at your own risk, that's all.
This just makes me sad. Can't people just lighten up for a minute and celebrate a day dedicated to fun and candy and pumpkins? People are too fucking sensitive now. One of the great things about Halloween is that it's for everybody- christians, jews, muslims, whoever. Anyone can put on a cheap plastic mask or some vampire fangs and be part of the holiday. This article is basically saying that Halloween is insensitive because it DOES exclude people. What people?? The people who believe in evil vampires? Are there any part-werewolf children in our schools who go home and cry to their were-moms about the unfair depiction of their species? Grow up. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Sad to think that it will probably all be gone completely one day.
Okay, angry blog over.
I don't have much time tonight, but I am going to post some of the pictures from Robert and Brianna's awesome wedding soon! We had tons o'fun, had a little bit much to drink, and on the drive home ended up making up jokes about transsexuals(?). Like "Tranny X-ing" and "Shhhh! Be Vewwy Vewwy quiet! I'm huntin' Twanny!". I don't know, it all made sense at the time.
Alright bitches. Trish OUT!

VAMPIRES DO EXIST!

And they're a lot less scary than we originally thought.

Today my dad arrived in AZ for a visit. So far it's been really fun, and we've already came up with two new ice cream flavors for Cold Stone Creamery: "Venerial Drip" and "Butterscotch Testicle Crunch". Both would ideally be available with your choice of Chunky or Runny Hot Fudge.
My dad is awesome. This weekend we're taking him to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. More ice cream flavors to be announced shortly after our return.
And now....................Ken. By Request Only.

Wednesday, September 28, 2005

Alright damn it, I'm sick of being sick. Since Friday night I have had the worst cold/sinus infection/hacking cough ever. I had to miss work for the first time ever, and I really need the moneys since my dad is coming to visit next week, and I gots no moneys. Oh well. I just hope I get better right now, because there's a lot going on.
For starters, I'm going to Brianna's bachelorette party on Saturday night, and it's a sleep-over, so i don't want to be coughing up phlegm all over the frigging place.
Then on Thursday my dad and his wife arrive, and I have no idea what we'll all do for the week while they're here. I mean, we'll go out to dinner and all that, but as far as road trips go, I got nothin. Me and Lisa can always take dad on a tour of Ikea I guess. He can finally get that Aardvlicken-qoken armchair he's always wanted. I also really need to get my apartment clean. It's been looking less than clean since I've been sick. Kane has been helping out of course, but he's got so much going on right now too. I want my nice apartment to look good when Dad comes over. I hope he doesn't break my toilet seat again this time though. Last time I thought he was joking, until he carried it out of the bathroom in two pieces.
Speaking of toilet seats, Kane and I saw "Eurotrip" tonight. Wow.
Oh, my ex is in a Wendy's commmercial. Yeah, he stuffs a dollar bill in his mouth for some reason. I only saw it once, and I was too busy saying "What the fuck?" to understand what was going on in it. Some of you Jersey-ites might know him as "Shecky". Well, at least the Jersey-ites who went to Improv Jam.
Anyway, that's about all that's going on with me. I am just hoping that this stupid cold or whatever it is that I have clears up really quick, because I'm sick of coughing until my chest feels like it's gonna cave in. I can't wait to have health insurance next month, so I can NEVER need it.
Also, I wish "Will & Grace" wasn't on my tv right now. What the fuck, who cares about "Will & Grace"? I'm gonna go change it to Food Network. Maybe "The Secret Life of..." is on, and I can make fun of that retarded host. That guy sucks.

G'night!

Thursday, September 22, 2005

Soooo awesome.
Fantasy
Click on the little tv icon to se the commercial, if you haven't had the (mis)fortune of seeing it on tv already. You haven't lived until you've seen K-Fed (sans 5 o'clock shadow, you might not recognize him!)prancing through the magical forest after a sweaty and glittery Britney. I bet this perfume smells like dirty panties.

NINE INCH NAILS tomorrow night!

YAY!!

Friday, September 16, 2005

Since I have been posting mainly pictures for the past few weeks, I decided those of you who read this blog might like to actually, you know, READ. So I'm making a list of things about myself, stuff that some of you may know, and some of you may not know. Here goes.
1. I watch The Golden Girls every night before bed. Every goddamn night. I've seen every episode like 100 times, and it's not like an obsessive thing, it's completely a comfort thing. Like being at grandma's house or something. Sometimes though I turn off the tv, for Kane's sake. I don't want him to start to grow a vagina just because I must watch GG.
2. When I was about 9, my friend Amy and I caught a little turtle once by Compton's Creek and put him in a tupperware bowl and gave him some leaves and some black pepper(?) to eat. He was our pet for only 1 day though, because he died.
3. I once hid from the cops by rolling underneath my own car and covering myself with leaves!
4. Sometimes I think about quitting everything and becoming a chef.
5. I would love to name my future children Maggie or Jack. But since Kane's last name is Black, my kid's name would be Jack Black, and that's just stupid.
6. At least once every day I think about the gap in my front teeth, and that if it gets any bigger, I'll look like Madonna during her ghetto faze. This upsets me.
7. One time Lisa and I made this younger girl in our neighborhood go into the woods in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm to "scare away the killer woodchucks". We made up this whole story about how the whole town was doomed, and she was the only one who could save us by going into the woods and screaming "Go AWAY!" 3 times during a lightning storm. She was so scared, and cried alot. She did it though, and you know what? No killer woodchucks ever invaded Belford, New Jersey. That little girl saved our whole town.
8. When I tell people I used to work at Leslie Pools, I usually don't tell them how most of the time me and my friends just got stoned, and cooked up some burgers (and the occasional steak) on a portable grill we set up out back, then took turns taking naps on some solar covers. Best summer job ever.
9. The first time I drove, I very nearly crashed my friend Jen's car into a building.
10. After I got my license, I crashed my car into a building.
11. Only a few people will ever hear my Shirley Temple impression. My real one, that is. Those who have heard it, I'll do it for you, but pleeeeeease don't tell anyone about it.
12. I used to have crushes on the following actors: Christian Bale(well, maybe a little bit still), Christian Slater, Dicrapio, Seth Green, Heath Ledger, James Marsters (as SPIKE, Lengli!!), Johnny Depp(no kidding.), John Corbett, and...........gulp.........Jeff Goldblum. Shut up, I was in 7th grade for god's sake!! I didn't know!!!!
13. I can communicate with my cat Fizzie by just using facial expressions. I'm also teaching him how to fetch. Just like I taught my other cat Riley, although he doesn't do it as much anymore. He's too cool for that sort of thing now, I guess.
14. I'm thinking about going back and erasing #12!
15. When I first lived alone, I had a pile of dirty laundry in the closet of my old apartment that I left for so long, that there was actually some sort of larvae-looking thing growing inside of a set of sheets. I threw them away.
16. One time I couldn't sleep so I tried to tap dance on a sheet of glass from a broken poster frame in the middle of the night (I thought it would tire me out!!) and smashed it. I wore my tap shoes to walk the glass out to the dumpster at like 3 in the morning, and probably woke up everyone in the apartment complex in the process. I then fell asleep on the foot of my bed, fully dressed, with my hands a little bloodied from the broken glass and still wearing the tap shoes.
17. I get the song "Holy Diver" by Dio stuck in my head at least once or twice a week. This has been going on for like 2 months!
18. I can't think of anything else to write.

As you might have read on Lisa's blog, we decided to not let the terrorists win THIS 9-11 by shopping at a crappy outlet mall. Sure we may have fought a few "battles", like when my garlic knot from the pizza place in the food court was too cold to eat, or when we had to endure the stench of urine and melting plastic wafting through Claire's Boutique. Or the biggest struggle of all, when Lisa's beloved Rav-4 broke down and left us stranded in Anthem, the whitest town in America, where we were witness to both a drug deal AND many small groups of akward white teenage boys!
But nothing could stop our personal war on Terrorism. We showed those fucking terrorists who's BOSS!
Check this out:

I am the William Wallace of the GAP Outlet!!!!! What's the matter, Osama?? Do the smiling faces on these little socks FRIGHTEN you?!

AMERICA:1, TERRORISTS: 0!!!!!!!! Lisa buys armloads of little kids' jeans in protest!!

All in all, we fought hard, and we came to win, and I think we accomplished that.
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!!

This one's for you, BuckNasty.

"So there you are, Tubby. You look like a bucket of lard on a bad day. Baskin Robbins called, they said they're down to only 5 flavors. You're swelling up as I talk to you. Look at you. Hello Ice Cream! Having a good time? Running around??
Heh he he he! What are you laughing at? Cuz I called your friend a fat pig?"
"No, I was laughing about earlier, when you were talking to his belly."

If any of you haven't seen Dirty Work, do yourself a favor and see the film that Mother Theresa herself called "fucking rad".
Fizzie played one of the tigers in Gladiator, but his scene ended up deleted from the final film. "That's showbusiness!" says Fizz (Or "Meeeeeeeeooowwww Mrrrrrrrph")


Here's Riley, taking his girlfriend Tammy to the prom. She would later break his heart. This is what lead him to becoming an angry goth, who writes bad poetry and lashes out at happy passersby. So tragic.


*Last night Kane and I went to Lisa's and watched Evil Dead 2 and drank some good cheap champagne. I made these when I got home. They make no goddamn sense.
Cheers!

I finally finished Robert and Brianna's wedding cake topper!

It's made of fimo clay, lollipop sticks and tulle. And lots of glue. Their wedding is coming up next month, so it's about time I finished it.
Anyway, her head's a little big, and her arms kinda got fucked up, but overall I'm pretty proud of it.
So we ended up doing nothing over the big 3-day weekend. I got so sick on Sunday, and we were supposed to have people over to watch "Evil Dead 2" and "Army of Darkness" that night, but I had to cancel due to impending puki-ness. I think it was either the french toast I made for breakfast, or the poison Kane put in my OJ. One of those two things, probably.
Now it's 11:42, and I should be sleeping since I have to go back to work tomorrow, but here I am in front of the computer. I'm thinking about my job, and how cool it is to finally be doing something I love so much. I haven't really written about it, but I meant to. I know I wrote about starting my new job as a production manager for another company, but I had to quit that job after only 1 week. The amount of work and responsibility that they were putting on me were just not worth the money they were paying me. I also only had 2 weeks to learn the position in and out, and I'd only done maybe 10% of the stuff I needed to do before, so everything was brand new and difficult. I was coming home upset just about every day, completely stressed out and weepy. On top of that, the girl who was training me kept making comments like,"Well, if this isn't something you want to do, we need to know now so we can fill your position.", "We still have all the resumes on file, so if you think you can't handle the position, let us know...", and then the final straw, on Friday afternoon she says,"Well see you on Monday, if you decide to come back, that is!". Now I can take a lot of things, but when I am constantly feeling like they have no confidence in me or my professionalism, I really don't appreciate it. As luck would have it, Monday morning rolled around, and I got a call that the office would be closed for the day, since the air conditioner was busted. So I took the opportunity to go to the bead store and see if they were still hiring, and I had an interview that day, and now I'm working full time at a job I love. It's retail, and I'm on my feet all day, but it's so fun! It's also kind of refreshing to be on my feet, since I was stuck behind a desk for five years, and I think my ass got bigger. Plus the money is better than I thought, and I get benefits. I can honestly say I have zero regrets about quitting that other job. Sure I'd be making more money, but I'd be a miserable person for it.
So that's basically what happened. Sorry it's taken me a while to write about it, but I've been busy so BACK OFF!
Okay, I'm going to bed now. Oh, and I hope you like my new background!! Grrrrr-Argghh!

I've been called out! Lisa has tagged me. OK, since it's been a long time since I updated, I will accept this challenge.
Here we go:
7 Things I Would Never Do
1. Watch any episode of Sex & The City. Ever. And that's a fucking promise.

Quick! Which one escaped from the Central Park Zoo?? If you said the shaggy lion in the front, you are correct.
2. Wear short shorts with anything written on the ass, like "HOTTIE", "JUICY" or "I'M UNDERAGE". This also goes for sweatpants. Or loungepants.
3. Kiss a rodeo clown (thanks, Dave Letterman!)

4. Write a fan letter to Criss Angel a.k.a. MINDFREAK

5. Never gonna give you up! Never gonna let you down! Never gonna run around and....desert you!
6. Be a teen mom. I'm 26! My dream of going to school with my own child will never be realized.

7. Give someone a copy of 1991 classic "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" on DVD.

Don't EVEN make me post a picture of Keith Coogan in the famous "The dishes are done, man!" scene. You don't need to see that. No one does.
**********
Now, who shall I tag??! MWAHHH-HA_HA_HA!
Kane, Buck, Robert, Lani, Diana and Matt.
See you in hell, bitches. *mindfreak!*

vin&sharkieshark
My friend Vin is so badass. Check out his sweet bike, and his sweet pet shark. He named him Sharkie Shark, since he got him in the early 90's. He also had "the Funky Bunch", but Sharkie ate them all. They were more "Delicious" than "Funky".
Anyway, if you try to fuck with Vin, be warned. Your body will never be found!
Neighborhood kids don't even walk past Vinnie's house anymore. They run for their lives, not only from Sharkie, but also because Vin's bike is so fucking sweet that it'll melt the eyes right out of their heads!
Well, I decided it's time for a whole new look for my blog. It deserved a makeover. As do I. I think I'll either get my nails done, OR get a face tattoo. I still haven't decided! A woman's work is never done, you know! Too many cooks spoil the soup! One man's trash is another man's treasure! Although they look similar, aspirin and candy are not the same! Borrowing grandpa's boots will NOT make you live longer! Wait....what was I talking about?

I think the merriest Christmas any smoker can have is finding a cure for lung cancer. That, and maybe a new turtleneck sweater. To protect their scratchy smoker-throat.

I took the movie test, and even though I've never seen this movie, I guess it's pretty cool.



***Also, hi everybody!! I'm back on the internet after a long hiatus thanks to Cox Communications, those fucks. Anyway, I'll put up a better blog entry soon, I swears it to ya!!

I am so sick of those commercials for Charmin with the bears taking shits out in the woods, and they're drawn all shakey and "quirky". Come on, there's no way to cuten them up, they're pooping! It's gross! And I'm not completely sold that bears are so concerned with wiping their asses anyway. And if they are, they CAN'T give a damn about how soft their toilet paper is. They maul campers and hikers, for god's sake. (Also, is this how they get their TP? Or do they have to go to the store with the money stolen from the wallet of the camper they just ate, and buy the Charmin Ultra Mega-Roll toilet paper? They could just bite the checkout clerk and steal it, you know. Hmmmm. I think I'm on to something.)
Anyway, fuck those commercials.

Cha-cha-cha! Charmin!

Why do I want to leave AZ, you ask?
Perhaps this well give you an idea.
Report: Arizona leads nation in overall crime rate

Arizona dropout rate worst in U.S.

Apparent heat-related deaths in metro Phoenix up to 29

So apparently, people are too busy doing drugs and shooting and robbing each other to raise their children who then drop out of school, who then are too stupid to learn how to handle the hot weather and die. Or there's always scenario 2: people are too busy doing drugs and shooting and robbing each other to raise their children who then drop out of school, who are too stupid to learn how to swim and drown in their own pool. OH shit, I'm sorry these poor kids never get the chance to drop out of school! (I would have put this first, but today there were actually NO pool drownings. This is surprising b/c every day at least one dumb ass toddler wanders out to the pool after their drunk mother passes out, and drowns. Oh, what a shame. *Yawn*)
By the way, all of these articles are from today. Niiice.

Why do people keep movin here??

Monday, July 25, 2005

Ewww. I have that Britney Spears song "You Drive Me Crazy" in my head right now. I completely blame it on Comedy Central, who keeps showing that goddamn awful movie Drive Me Crazy, starring Melissa Joan Hart (aka cock-eyed bitch) and that lame guy who was supposed to be the new Heath Ledger. Good luck with that one, jerk. I think Comedy Central needs to re-evalute their definition of COMEDY, and stop showing this movie and also She's All That. Please...just...stop.
So I started my new job today! I am training to be the new production manager at Pagecentre, Inc. I basically am doing layout for large-scale books and directories. So far it's going well, although there's so much to learn it's hard not to get totally overwhelmed. But the girl who is training me is super nice, and I'll have my own office (with a window that actually opens!) and I'm making better money than I was expecting to! YAY!
I am just so happy and relieved to have a job, I was starting to get panicky there. I went 3 weeks with no job, but I still managed to get my bills paid and I have enough for rent this month too, but not much else. I apparently went a little overboard with money over the past 2 weekends, going to movies and out to dinner and stuff. But it's cool, at least I know now that a paycheck won't be far away!
And now it's time for family photos!

Here's me at one of my birthday parties, probably around age 7 or 8, judging by the Jem tablecloth. Look at me, acting like some kind of big shot. I notice no one else is even looking at my "hilarious" antics. Big shout-out to Sara, who's all slouchy in the front, with her bathing suit hanging off her shoulder. She was my first friend when my family moved to Belford and I went to Bayview School, and we got our seats separated more times than I can count.

Here's the time my dad pushed the recliner back too far and it fell over. I think he was probably yelling "Oh Christ!". He took it pretty hard in the head since he collided with the closet door behind him and knocked it off the tracks, but we all had a good laugh anyway.

It's Halloween in July, bitches!!!!!! Here's me as a hula girl and Lisa as a ballerina with a kick-ass tan at our pool club. I think I was about 4 here. I don't know why we're standing in that alley, maybe we were waiting to mug someone or something.
And that's my blog!

Friday night we had a full night. First, to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" at Imax, then to the Harry Potter book release party at Barnes and Noble. (Buck, shut the hell up!! You baby gorilla.)
The movie was so good. I know I am biased b/c I love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp so much, and I really don't like the original "Willy Wonka", but say what you will, I loved the movie. Oh, and before anyone comments about how it sucks that they re-made the movie, just save yourself the trouble and go back to posting on some gay message board about it. It's based on the original book, not the movie. Now go jerk off to The Matrix.
The theater was so crowded that every seat in the place was filled. Kane got stuck sitting next to some awkward girl wearing low-rider jeans and who kept leaning forward to talk to the people she was there with. I tried to get a picture of her massive asscrack, but alas the armrest was in the way. But from Kane's face, you can tell it was lovely.

After the movie we all went over to Barnes & Noble. It was from 10-midnight, and then they started passing out the books. So many people were all dressed up, and they were also giving away free Potter glasses and forehead tattoos (not real ones thank god.) at the front. Here's Diana and Brianna, killing time watching one of the movies in the CD section. *Brianna made those scarves, they came out good! YaY Brianna!

But with my belly full of junk food and my mind swimming with all the wondrous sights I saw, I drifted off to sleep, clutching my new tome tightly and praying I'd never hear kids screaming "Expecto Patronum!!" again.

"Hey Gladys, I just shit my pants on Santa's lap. For serious!"

Well, I just got a letter from the insurance company about my storage unit burglary that they are denying my claim. Apparently since there are no signs of forced entry into my unit, the insurance company isn't going to help me at all with the $2,500+ worth of stuff that was stolen from me.
Seriously, I think it is ridiculously unfair and maybe not so surprising, seeing how nothing seems to work out for me lately.
Optimism = gone.

Hello!
Sorry it has been so long since I last updated my blog--I've been without internet on my computer. (But now, thanks to Robert, I am free to surf for all the porn I want! Should I ever want to, that is.)I've also been spending 99.9% of my time looking for jobs, since I am currently without one. I'm hoping that will change this week, since I have applied to so many things that at least ONE is bound to give me a call. I hope. Gulp.
It's cool though, I'm handling my jobless-ness much better than I thought I would. I'm doing okay with money, and I've also been the most well-rested I've been since forever. Or at least since I got my hands on some Hybernol back in '99.
I've also had plenty of time to work on stuff for my website, so I'm hoping to photograph and upload it this week. Still only one sale on my website, but I'm hoping once word gets around to one day have at least 2-3 sales! So wish me luck with all the tens of dollars I'll be earning from my site this year.
Anyway, in the spirit of my new optimistic attitude, here are some things that make me smile:

Cute, chubby bulldogs who just lumber around, waiting for someone to drop any kind of food.

Seeing Kane get completely tackled by screaming & laughing children, who are pretending to be police dogs guarding their newly-captured prisoner.

Sweet little babies who ignore the noisy game and instead meticulously pick up pennies and dimes dropped from Kane's pockets and hand them to me, one by one and smiles the biggest smile you've ever seen when she is finished.

Kane just pointed out that the new King Kong looks an awful lot like Katie. Hmmmm. Coincidence? Or has Peter Jackson been spying in Lisa's windows for the past couple of months? *Note to Lisa, get some curtains.

Here's a little something I like to call an "Excerpt From An Article That Lisa Wrote For The Carwash Magazine She Worked For Way Back When". Let's all listen up, shall we?
Fact or Friction?

"Remember the beer commercial a few years back with the "tastes great, less filling" debate?
The basic premise was, there was one camp who felt that the given beer tasted better than the competitor beer. The other side of the debate represented those individuals who felt the beer was lighter and not as heavy on the stomach as the beers of the past."


Lisa, I don't know what the hell you were rambling about, but God love ya, that is one damn eloquent way to describe the age-old Tastes Great-Less Filling debate.
I hope you learned something dear readers.
Now what the frick does any of this have to do with washing cars? I think you might be an alcoholic, sister. Get some help. Time to check into the Gerald Ford Hospital.
