What mamacita is...

Reading

I can't read any more. I think I've forgotten how. I can't even read magazine articles. BLAH BLAH BLAH WORDS WORDS WORDS is all I think about when I'm reading. This was a long time coming, but the nail in the coffin was the BlackBerry [sic] Papi gave me for Christmas. On Sunday I was playing with it during the Bishop's sermon. Horrors!

I am just bored, bored, bored. [I have the same mental capacity as Eloise, now.] What's going on with you?

What are you making for the Super Bowl?

    I too am having low mental capacity. Couldn't finish a book for the life of me. I took a break and read just cookbooks for a while. Then I read Fool by Christopher Moore and that helped.

    We're making wings for the Super Bowl, just straight up for dinner.

    It seems I have the attention span of a gnat these days. If I sit down long enough to read a page, my mind starts grinding about everything else I SHOULD be doing. No plans for the Superbowl, but wings sound good!

    Kathy! Mamacita! SGM! I was just thinking exactly the same thing as I trudged up the stairs to my room last night - gnat . . . or a rutabaga.

    I'm opening a bookstore, for pity sake, and I can't read a darn thing. I made my way back to the Harry Potter series, 'cause it's easy and known and predictable. Read two paragraphs at night and fall happily asleep.

    Hearing all this common resonance makes me wonder: perhaps it's a terrorist plot of some way, shape, or form . . .

    I'm singing Evensong on Superbowl Sunday - guess my clergy and music director don't swing in the wing direction. Enjoy yours - Jenny

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...
