Saw this website on AOTS on G4 last night. It's fun, kind of a small very pop/current, what the RIAA thinks you want, collection to choose form, but fun none the less.
So I was in Target the other day, legitimately looking for a mop, and I cruised by the sales rack in the womens department, I do love me a sale.
They had a large selection of nice things, many of which were ridiculously cheap. Being a good little American I decided to do my part and buy something. I mean face it, changing our light bulbs to LCFs and having a compost heap hasn't fixed all of our country's problems, maybe buying a nice little summer-ie shirt would.
So I take a few choice items, all under $10 bucks to the dressing room of doom. Long ago I gave up being a "small" I but hang on tight to being a "medium" DAMNIT!!! So mediums in hand I strip down and start trying on. The first time I get stuck, in a bizarre contorted position, trying to stuff my arms in a sleeve, I assume the tops were made for skinny little teenagers, and go back to grab some larges. Once again I strip down, this time I get into a top, and the sleeves are really really tight, just from the elbow to the shoulders, everything else in on the okeydokey side. I think that this must be a fluke, with this one top and move on to top 2, again really really tight sleeves, and no big surprise the same with the rest. Harumph!
"They must be making sleeves smaller these days", I think to myself, put the to tight tops back on the rack and head off to some Pringles.
Spring is here San Diego's is weather unbelieveably fabulous, it's time to switch the sheets from flannel to cotton, head out to the garden and start the tomatoes, and pack the winter clothes away, and pull out the summer wardrobe. I pull the clothes out from under the bed and out of their space bags, and commence to culling.
Guess what? The same person who is making all the sleeves small on this seasons fashions, went back and refashioned all my other clothes with tiny sleeves. BITCH!!!
Or I could just be FAT! I wanted to believe the whole refashioning fairies fairy tale, but I got on the scale today, and fairies just don't weigh that much. Grrrrr.
Sitting here at my computer I have placed in and around my desk, Dove dark chocolate almonds, a bag of Twizzlers, Cadbury caramel eggs, Cadbury fruit & nut bar, Cacao Reserve by Hershey's Ultra-Thin squares 65% cacao. OMFG! That's not including lord knows what in my regular household stash.
I sense exercise and salads in my future, and before you know it, it will be too hot to have chocolate just sitting around house.
If fat gave me boobs or hips I wouldn't mind so much, but big arms and a fat back aren't a look I'm going for.
Maybe I'll try jumping rope?
And have a hot body, too much money and not enough sense.
I forgot where I was surfing when I found this site, but I was just mesmerized.

It's like my Barbie's clothes dropped some acid and went to BurningMan to score some E. I love it, wouldn't wear it (well maybe a few pieces, but only at a Con, and it would have to be a very friendly Con) but glad some s PYT is out there all fluffy and plastic and platformed.
Now I have vague memories of video taping some of our creative expressions, way back when in my high school days. I'm hoping Donavan has lost all that video tape. But I don't think we ever did anything as swell as this
I love, love, love, Battlestar Galactica. Now I was already a big SciFi fan, and so unlike many people, I was not shocked that a science fiction t.v. show could tackle successfully some very difficult subjects. I just like BSG because it is good, yes better than many SciFi shows, (damn you Flash Gordon and Bionic Woman), but not world altering as it seems to be to some. See Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomena to understand
My Sweet Thomas and I talked about this, and I think BSG gets more credit because it's dark and gritty and no one is wearing costumes and there are not a bunch of aliens looking silly. When you watch BSG you don't have to apologize for being a geek. Now why that same thing wasn't true for Firefly I don't know. I think the idiot suits at FOX couldn't get over the fact there were horses. DBags!
All that being said, I am very excited for the final season of BSG, we have waited long enough for it. My Sweet Thomas and I missed most of last season since they moved it to 10pm Sunday and we didn't have a tivo yet. And why oh why was the SciFi channel not rerunning the hell out of that show!
Speaking of.... what the hell is up with the SciFi Channel, why does it suck! Ghosthunters! Why the frak is that on, why are they not rerunning Blakes 7, Space 1999, old Dr Whos, the Prisoner, etc... They should have a Friday night Drive in double feature and run Classic SciFi movies. You could run the movies twice one run straight, then after run it again but with commentary, sometimes funny ala MST3K or serious and or educational, like something on the DVD. SciFi cahnnel needs a talk show interviewing authors and scientists. The people at the SciFi channel need to visit some SciFi conventions, and no not just ComicCon, some of the smaller fan driven cons, I mean we are supposedly their audience.
Back to BSG, Baltar needs to get beaten to death. Sorry he has to pay, he can get redeemed so long as it is in death... after a beating... preferably with sharp pointy sticks and red hot pokers. The whiny, sniveling little git has to pay! I hate him! Apollo should also die, his can be noble death that saves the fleet, blah blah blah, and it doesn't have to hurt, but he should die.
How long has Tigh been a Cylon? Was he switched out in prison on new Caprica? Everyone else in the four I could buy as a Cylon, although shouldn't the Cylons be more interested in Cheif Tyrol's kid, it is a hybrid afterall?
I think Dualla is the Final Cylon. She was the "voice" of the fleet telling everyone what to do, shes not in the "last supper" poster. Ronald Moore said the last cylon wasn't in that shot. Her intials are A.D. Okay I'm just grasping at straws, but I want the last Cylon to be a woman, you know girl power and all that.
When it all gets too serious, remember Captain Jack Harkness is hot
Wrong show I know, but he's just too pretty. By the way BITEME, BBC, not allowing non Brit ISPs to view you website! One world my shiny metal ass!
How can this game with all the pretty colors and lovely soft piano music make me want to kill!
I usually save that level of anger and frustration for politics, or the suits at Fox who canceled FireFly, or easing in sleeves. (people who sew will get that joke)
In with the good air out with the bad air.......
I go look at LoL cats for a while.

Jeff Berry: Sippin' Safari: In Search of the Great "Lost" Tropical Drink Recipes... and the People Behind Them
I tried and tried to find this book at Christmas time, the other weekend, voila! ther it was at the local comic book store.
This is an amazing, amazing book I can not recommend it enough. If you Love, cocktails, the 1950's & 60's, exotica or living a groovy life, this book is for you.

Laugh out loud funny!
Douglas Coupland: JPod : A Novel
I went right out and bought this book, in hardback no less. Coupland is one of my most favorite authors. Microserfs is a desert island book for me. I'm scared to start this one, because if I start it, I will finish it, then I would have it to look forward to anymore.
Anthony Bourdain: Kitchen Confidential : Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
Love this man!
Jennifer Traig: Devil in the Details : Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood

Patrick O'Brian: Master and Commander
I've been reading this book forever,(way before they made the movie) it's good but "Muy Macho" and I can only handle that much testosterone in small doses.
Nigella Lawson: How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking
I want to gow up to be Nigella.
John De Graaf: Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic
Is it wrong to buy a book that says "buying" is wrong?
