Thumbs Up: Sloth


I know you like when I'm caustic and biting, but you'll have to suffer through my happiness this week. I want to give a shout-out to:

1. Laying around on a Sunday morning, catching up on reading. Or maybe not catching up, but getting some reading done. And you know how nice it is to curl up on the couch when it's raining outside? I'm starting to have the same feeling about hiding out in the air conditioning when it's 95 outside. I used to feel guilty about being inside while the sun was shining, but now I think there's a limit to that, and it kicks in around 90 degrees.

2. Nintendo DS games that buy my children's silence. Which games? Don't know, don't care. And I'm feeling only slightly guilty about the bad parenting. I figure by now it's my stock-in-trade.

Thumbs down to:

1. Sunday night television. Seriously, I'm starting to look forward to Monk. We gave up cable about 6 months ago and I still haven't stopped bitching about it.

2. Temperatures so high that even the pool is too hot. Ugh.

    Ugh. 95 degrees? I would take up permanent residence at the movie theater.

    Yeah, unfortunately Becca's attention span for movies is about 15 minutes.

    And for the record, it was actually 97.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

The Bikini Wax: An Internal Dialogue

God, this is horrifying. I wonder if she's as embarrassed as I am. OW! Ow MOTHERFUCKER! Okay, this hurts less than childbirth, but only because it doesn't last as long. What is she saying? I wish I spoke Vietnamese. I think I outweigh the entire staff combined. Dude, where is she going? They need a picture on this ceiling. They would probably put up a picture of Hannah Montana. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. I will not think about Miley Cyrus. Hey, I bet my nails are dry. I wonder if the liquor store next door sells ice. Next time I'm paying more for a place with numbing cream. Which is worse -- being her or being me? OW. Me. At times like this it's good to have some poetry memorized. 'Twas brillig and the ... the ... Dammit. HOW BIG IS MY VAGINA? She could have mowed the back 40 by now. God, how come nobody told me this shit was growing halfway down my leg? Did I water the clematis last night? Next time: vodka first. Next time: Vicodin first.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC. (Polyvore set via Haley ) Grosgrain Garage : preppy Jesus – Bonnanos, tunic with gingham trim and a ribbon belt, pearls worn as a thorny crown Megan: Now that she's succumbed to making wreaths , Mega...
