It got worse.

I have to hire Santa Claus, holiday carolers, and I'm around a 35 foot Christmas tree all day what do you expect? I love how this picture turned out.

Feeling festive...

I'm coming home for Christmas so I hadn't planned on putting up any decorations but... how can you not get into the Christmas spirit when A Charlie Brown Christmas is on TV??? Awesome. Casey seems to like it.

Shag: Donna Con Bambino

I absolutely love the retro feel, bright colors, and random pets in this collection being shown at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Notice how the carefree vibe is in contrast to what's being shown on each of the televisions...

True Life: I'm Moving to Las Vegas

This is the funniest thing I've ever watched. They're profiling three twenty-somethings who are moving to Las Vegas. One wants to be a model/actress here because "it's less cutthroat than L.A. but she'd never pose nude" (yeah, right!) and she becomes a cocktail waitress (big surprise!), and the other two basically move here to party but are having trouble finding work... hmm maybe they should have unpacked their resumes before hitting the Strip.

Thank god I moved here with a plan that included an education.

The pictures say it all! :-)

Great WTF moments in history.

Ever since my dad retired, my parents have surprised me with all sorts of things. For instance, they've never had a two-door car before. I never thought they liked coupes until they pulled into my driveway with a brand new Volvo C60 convertible. CONVERTIBLE. And this was just the beginning. Outta nowhere, my dad takes up scuba diving. The man couldn't go on a trip for more than 3 days without complaining that he wanted to go home and now, suddenly, he's in Hawaii for two weeks. My parents have also never been big pet people. We had a dog when I was very little, and I always had a cat when I lived there, but there hasn't been more than one pet at my parent's house since probably 1989. Until today. In another WTF moment, my mother added a second cat to the household.

The Best Pickup Line Of All Time

I effing LOVE this show.

Well, he is racing better.

Musings

Did someone knock me out and put a metal plate in my head? Did I suddenly become a amnesiac kleptomaniac? Lately, I've been setting off store alarms. Grocery stores, drug stores, the mall... and not just when I'm leaving! They go off when I enter! The looks you get when that happen, wow. I'm like, "what are you looking at? I just walked in!"

I don't know if it's just here in Nevada (I doubt it), but this election is ugly. The ads are just mean! Not to mention repetitive and overplayed. I believe it's my civic duty to cast an educated vote, which I'll do now that I've read my voter's guide. But more than anything, I'm grateful I won't have to endure any more mudslinging. Don't they realize those kind of ads don't really make them look any better? I'm more apt to say "who does this person think they are?"
See what I mean below.






The police just visited my house. My neighbors were setting off fireworks, so I called the non-emergency number. Oh yeah, I'm that neighbor. Just be quiet and we'll get along fine. You and your barking dogs.

A thousand childhood dreams, shattered....

Another one bites the dust. Why do all the sharp-dressed, intelligent ones have boyfriends?
