DON'T be afraid of getting reallyREALLY close together to get a glamor shot:
DO go to an awesome concert headlined by one crazy lady:
DON'Tbe shocked by the insane amount of crazed fans that turn out. in FORCE:
DO recognize mark from sytycd and get in on some sweet photo op action:
DO bring multiple pairs of shoes to wear. and pose in:
DON'T worry about taking off your shoes and walking through the casino at 2:00 a.m: (your feets hurt too bad to really care that you are a dirty, filthy, filthy girl.)
DOseize any and every opportunity to straddle glass objects:
DON'T turn this guy down when your waitress peer-pressures him into buying a round of drinks for your table:
they just don't make 'em like rick james anymore, do they? bless his little corn-rowed heart....
**more little shopping lists created by the creative-spelling genius of a 5 year old mind:
{translation: get cosmic brownies at wal mart. get pop tarts!}
**the chance to embrace my inner-freak this weekend with peoples i lovelove (plus jentix) watching all of the outer-freaks watch a woman who has been known to wear a dress made out of raw meat.
but she has ALSO worn a dress made entirely out of hello kitties. which is pretty freaking awesome:
**speaking of hello kitty (or kitty hollow, if you speak mia) i heart the feline-themed gifts people bestow on me--one that i've enjoyed has been mycrazy cat lady action figure. it sits on the shelf in my kitchen, watching over all:
**& finally, for this video which made me so incredibly happy--i would TOTALLY be a band geek if we played this stuff. AND had that totally dope teacher.
this is my favorite rage against the machine song. it brings out all my inner-grunge-angst as i'm pedaling my bike up a hill. and the fact that it's being covered with such intense JOY only makes it that much better: {courtesy of wwMd}
i've made no secret about the unhealthy love i have for dave gahan from depeche mode--it's been a relationship that has gone on for nearly 30 years, (yikes!) stemming back to the first time i laid my grubby 9th grade hands on a cassette tape of black celebration.
so, naturally, i was thrilled when he was named as one of the "godfathers of glam" who can still rock a skinny suit in this ny times article.
also appearing in the article who was NOT worthy? iggy pop:
it allows me to hop on roughly ten times a day to check current conditions.
i remember, growing up, that my dad would watch the news every single night to just catch the sports and see the weather.
but when did i become such an old person? i NEVER used to even give the weather a second thought--it was something that occurredAS it was occurring.
merely one more sign of my turning to the geriatric side.....
**speaking of weather, there just couldn't be a thankful thursday post during this time of year without me praising the weather--mid 70's this week? well, okay..... if i HAVE to:
**guilty pleasures. such as my current favorite, holly's world:
i love when my girls are just learning to read & write--the way the brain processes is an amazing thing.
mia wrote this note for her daddy--translation: "when russ you go to harmons get waffles."
she spelled the whole thing herself while sounding the words out loud-- i only helped her put the 'a' in harmons and the 'l' in waffles after the fact. (as well as decided that 'get' makes SO much more sense spelled as 'git'.)
this is what the temperature read yesterday at 4:44 p.m.
thank goodness for these next few months, so i can long for them when my skin is literally melting from my bones in august. but still leaving the stretch marks, naturally. (thank goodness--wouldn't wanna lose those babies!)
happy weekend! i hope you get to do something along the lines of frank poncherello's disco dance extravaganza:
(fyi: estrada's incredibly sexy disco routine starts at :48)
okay, it was really only a matter of time until i felt like i must comment on the charlie sheen trainwreck thing--holy MOLY. talk about insane!
my only problem with the whole shebang is the fact that i oscillate between feeling like charles is a complete and utter arrogant ass, and then semi-worshiping at his feet for some of his perfectly candid and chuckle-inducing observations and theories.
if you wanted a quick tutorial on his latest, you should watch a clip of his 20/20 interview HERE--and, did you catch the fact that he took not one, but TWO drug tests right after the interview and PASSED BOTH? i was convinced that he was higher than a kite. INSANITY.
since i have already admitted in times past that i tend to like some of the guys who would be helming the d. bag wave (john mayer, eminem, kanye west.....need i go on? yikes.) it was no surprise that i find sheen completely amusing at times. like during a recent interview on the danpatrick show :
sheen: i decided to stay away from the crack, which i think is pretty good advice.....unless you can manage it socially, dan. if you can manage it socially, then, GO FOR IT. but, not a lot of people can, you know?
danpatrick: did you think you could?
sheen: eeeehhh, yeah. but then that kind of blew up in my face. much like an exploding crack pipe, dan...

the guy is crazy. but i must say, CRAZY LIKE A FOX--he started his twitter account and reached ONE MILLION subscribers in less than 24 hours.
i should have known he had it in him, judging from his genius early work in ferrisbueller's day off: (and i apologize in advance for it's usage of two naughty words. but it's a classic, so i think it was grandfathered-in.)
