Georgio's

Evo Morales is my hero.

Today I went to the mall. It was scary.

But the shopping is done.

My dad and brother went to Fort O to buy presents for me, my mom, and my sister. We came home to find a big blue tarp over a corner of the garage and we were told not to look under it because there were electric shotguns that would kill us if we so much as tried to peek. Normally we have to do all the shopping for them, so the fact that they went out on their own is (a) impressive and (b) terrifying. None of us know what's under the giant blue tarp and I'm afraid whatever it is will either die or explode before Christmas morning.

I hope it's not pots and pans. Or a bicycle. Or a pool toy.

So tonight I had my first Christmas haul.

The good:
$125
bag of Russian literature

The so-so:
bracelet making kit

The bad:
Ralph Lauren tote-thing
jewelry box
turquoise bracelet

The ugly:
pink zip-up hoodie with large hibiscus brooch on the zipper

I like presents. I really do. I'm thankful. But damn it, why waste your fucking money if you're not going to look at the list I was forced to draw up?

If you're not going to spend your hard-earned money on something you know I'll use, please donate intended dollar value to OXFAM.

I feel as if I've entered Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - all my wildest dreams have come true.

From the Placebo website with bolding by as determined by my heartrate and a small apostrophe:

I wasn't going to post this, but Jesus, only I would get +10 for buying porn.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that the new season of Project Runway will air its first episode tomorrow night at 10 pm on Bravo. That is all.

When I walked in the house alone at 8:10 this evening, I was greeted by an empty box of dog biscuits tipped over in the middle of the floor, right between the oven and island. I found the dog laying in his basket by the door and, in my most chastising voice, called him a fatty.

The Hives = new album

I was thinking the other day about how sad and empty my life was without The Hives around releasing new music and making videos in suits while delighting both my punk rock soul and pop sensibilities. Pelle will forever be my wild S&M fantasy sex partner.

Along with others, of course.

Monogamy makes me shiver in bad ways. Like what happens when people whisper "congealed" in my ear.

The one acts are cast. In case you were wondering, our one act fuckin owns your one act and your one act's mom.

Try saying that three times fast. Bitch.

Procrastination gives me the warm fuzzies, mint tea calms me and my uterus, I now have light bulbs designed specifically for reading, and tomorrow we open the fireplaces. Also, home alone tomorrow? Will cook fish.
