You know that spidey is just waiting for an opportunity to crawl into your

Hey, better than a spider in your vagina, right?

Speaking of which, (not your vagina per se), but vaginas and insects in
general....

My real estate agent's wife tells this great story about how when they were
young and po' like us they rented a house. This house was infested with
fleas. Their rental agent refused to do anythign about it and told them
they would have to live with and then sued them for penalty rent when they
moved out. She says that the case was dismissed as soon as she called the
agent and said to her (and I quote):

"We will never pay you rent for a place that had such bad fleas that they
were eating my daughter's vagina! How would you like it fleas were eating
your vagina?" (Her daughter was crawling at the time)...

Apparently they dropped the suit for rent then....

nice eh?

Hey! June's almost over....hoorah!

PS. I manged to use the word vagina more than five times!!!!

Our coporation pays for us to take these tests.

It is interesting.

I spent all day yesterday in a workshop learning about myself and the people I work with.

What did I learn, well not much that I already didn't know...you and I both know that I'm a complete pain in the ass.

Anyways, did you know (and J you'll be shocked by this) that I tend to be overbearing, bullish and sanctimonious?

I know.

I had to sit down after hearing that....but not before I told everyone exactly what I thought on everything and how I thought everything should proceed, and how if they didn't do it the way I said I would have to do it myself!!!! (That last part is a joke....no really).

Golf event raided on prostitution charges

D and I saw this on the news yesterday morning...complete with footage of the arrests taken by a helicopter.

They had tents set up on the greens.

They had women in daisy dukes and platforms marching out of the tents.

They had lines of men in their white boy golfing best lines up and ready to be arrested!

It was hilarious.

Salon.com People | Shooting crap
Ok, when I tell people my theory that psychics are actually idiot savant statisticians I get crazy looks. I feel unique in my own cleverness that no one else can understand.

Apparently I'm not the only one with that theory.

I'm so deflated.

(But also strangely justified.)

Another thing, I'm not saying that I'm anti-psychic.... in fact, I'm fascinated. I need a master statistician to tell me stuff.

On a related note, I think psychics/mediums/witch doctors serve a very important role in society/culture. Think about it, psychics are an alternative to psychologists.... they vasically tell you the same thing: There are good things and there are bad things that happen....either way, with some patience and some work...you will survive.

The mandarin chicken salad is nay bad!

Hotel Overview

Where I will be staying for 4!9!.9!9! a freaking night at the beginning of August.

I know I know.

I can't stand it myself.


Nope, it's a secret...I can't tell you how I managed to score that deal.

I would like everyone to know that I've had better days....

Not that anything is teribly amiss, but it started rather badly.....near on midnight last night. Damn familial insomnia! Damn you! Damn you!

Ruby's inherited from me....she and I only managed to doze off now and again all night. Not that D's snoring helped. I think we've both got a touch of hayfever and house buying stress induced neck aches. So, while I don't sleep at all, he sleeps poorly.

Neat!

I was rather cross and cranky b/c the sellers kept being wishy washy about doing the repairs we needed them to do in order to make the deal a for sure thing. Our option period on the house ended yesterday with no response to our amendement re: repairs. Then they responded that they would do them (hoorah!) then they changed their minds and said they needed another day (boo!)

So I was little ms. cranky pants herself about it all. Sometimes I rather dislike people in general... and these sellers in particular.

So, when I got out of bed this morning (complete with complete disorientation from the last snippet of tumultuous dream that is typical of my insomnia nights, on this ocassion I had a dachsund that had to have it's tail removed and I hung out with Louis Armstrong again) I was already feeling a bit less than my usual cheerful self.

Then I realised that I'd forgotten to take my stupid medicine yesterday (the medicine, not me, is stupid)....how did I know you ask? Well, I think I had the first clue when the world started to spin and the floor felt like it was at a distinct angle. Then the roiling of the stomach in general. Nice.

I had to wait until it kicked in enough to make it safe to drive to work.

That made me late.

There was an abundance of crankiness.

But, guess what? I'm back on the upswing. The seller has finally agreed to the repairs (including a bit of a toilet drama) and my loan was completely approved and the spinning has pretty much abated and it is on the late side of midday and the Dster has put some home brews in the fridge and sunny days are here again.

Thank you.

wedding Article

Hey, D and I just eloped. We had a #4 cut the cheese (a number 4 ceremony, cut the poetry).....

I guess when you are poor to begin with, spending tons of money isn't an option.

It's not that I'm anti-wedding (per se) (despite my frequent and thoughtless coments about weddings to certain people who are now withholding info based on my asshole-ish-ness about it and my bad attititude, but I think it more accurate to say that I'm anti-industry)....

(PS. I love you smelly.....)

So, the red ale has been bottled...now it's a two week wait until we get to test it!

This weekend I think we're going to do a bit of an experiment and make a coffee chocolate stout with a view to letting it sit in the bottles for a couple months so we can enjoy when D's parents are here. His mum and I enjoy a nice stout.

So far, the vanilla-cherry-limeades still haven't fully carbonated.....hopefully I won't have to jimmy them up with some more yeast.

Anyways, for those of you on this side of the globe....is there any reason to be eating anything other than home-made pico de gallo on warm summer nights? Especially when it's as simple as dicing and throwing together homegrown tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, salt and lime. Just mix and add until you get the just right combination of tangy-soury-savoury-freshness that you crave. If you are feeling really fancy-pants then throw in a diced avocado. Otherwise, ignore all strange stares and eat it straight out of the bowl with a spoon (oh, ok, fine, with corn chips if you insist).
