Run, Don't Walk

The King's Speech is every bit as wonderful as you were hoping it would be.  Colin Firth, OMG.  (Is that an order of knighthood?  It should be.)  I know the movie isn't playing everywhere, but if I were even within two hours of a theater (MOM) I would rush to see it.

FYI: It was showing on two screens at the theater I went to, and all showings were selling out. I think it's going to break records for per-screen average revenues.

    Going to see it on Wednesday--can't wait--although I expect to cry through half of it. My son had a terrible stutter when he was really little. Thank god for speech therapy.

    Even still, you probably won't cry; it's really funny.

    Here in the middle of nowhere, it's not playing. I call Bullshit.

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...

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.

A Contest!

Image
My friend Julie is going through a break-up right now, and is in search of a Theme Song to cheer her up. I'm not really up on my music -- nothing in the Andrews Sisters' catalog seems quite right -- so I'm asking for an assist here. Any ideas for my friend? Now this has to be a kick-ass song to get her through the rest of the winter and, you know, that holiday that comes up later in the month... So let's make it a contest! Whoever finds a song for our friend will win ... the cutest pair of socks in the world! Seriously, no matter how rainy it is this spring, how could you not be happy in these rainbow striped knee socks? They're from Alex Kabbaz of CustomShirt1.com . Alex is a friend-of-a-friend, and sells the most delicious socks in the world. He sells men's socks , too, and could probably ship them to you in time for that Mid-February Holiday. If you choose the winning song, you can pick black or white, ankle- or knee-length socks. Anyway, contest...
