Spotty Logic

I wore a cheap leopard print dress while brushing my teeth the other night and it nearly sent me into an existential tailspin.

I caught a glimpse of the hypnotic expansion and collapse of my animal print swathed ribcage in the mirror. For a moment, I believed was inches away from a dangerous feline.

The toothbrush hummed while I stared at the breathing animal, dumbfounded. Everything appeared to be in happening in slow motion and I began to feel light headed.

The toothbrush beeped to a halt and I was snapped out of my safari trance. It was just me. Duh. I rubbed my sides, spit, and rinse.

For the Archives: Laundry Day

Him: Can you please put the sheets in the dryer once they're finished?

Me:  Nods

Him: It's the unit next to the wet one.

It's a Party!

R says to me each week,
"Spoiler alert! The gay one gets kicked off."
And every week, I pee a little.

Mondo. Mondo. Mondo. The short shorts. The knee socks.
Tears will be shed the day he gets auf'ed.
Can you believe the little fucker is 32?!?

Tim Gunn is drunk the entire episode.
That or huffing glue in the green room. "I prefer woolly balls." 
Bright pink face to match his shirt. Feeling tingly.

Andy or Onch?!?
The dress is fucking hot.
The balloon glove does it.

Peach is like the culmination of every cranky
middle aged white woman I've ever met.
I do like how her name is Peach though. The irony!

Gretchen.
Don't get me started.
Smug Portland hipster. Meh.

Kors never fails to deliver the nasally biatchiness.
"She looks like a transvestite flamenco dancer at a funeral."
Oh snap.

Betsey Johnson is lucky she's a millionaire,
otherwise she'd just be another old crackwhore.
"Too beautiful" my ass.

OMFG.
Is this the first season that Heidi "The Most Fertile Woman in the Universe" Klum has not been pregnant in?!

Monscents

This one time, we found my mom cleaning the pool in the eye of a monsoon. Tall metal pole, bobbing, her dress, a swirl. Perhaps she had a death wish. Or maybe she just craved some excitement in her life.

Either way, there's nothing quite like the smell right before a monsoon. The air is electric.

This is a stray cat with a bandage on it's head.

That is all.

I don't like nor follow sports. But I like (and dislike) certain teams, on principle alone.

I like and will always like:

• Any team Steve Nash is on
• The Celtics ---Boston Garden parquet inspired my home decor.
• The Bruins ---Though I can't say I've ever watched more than 5 mins of hockey. (Been looking for an xsmall thread-worn vintage black bruins tee. If anyone ever comes across on, please let me know!) 
• The Boston Red Sox ---Hey, I grew up in Mass, OK?!?
• The NY Giants --- Always chose to be them while playing Steve Madden Nintendo with my brother.
• The Atlanta Braves ---Because I LURVE the politically incorrect tomahawk chop.
• The Cubs --- Good logo, nice uniforms.
• The Green Bay Packers ---I like those cheese hats & Something About Mary.

I hate and will always hate:

• The Oakland Raiders---because their fans suck.
• The LA Lakers--- Kobe Bryant is a rapist.
• The NY Yankees ---Duh.
• The San Antonio Spurs--- They are low down dirty cheaters & Tim Duncan's hairline.
• The Dallas Cowboys--- Annoying.

OK. I've managed to sufficiently bore myself. I promise never to talk sports again... unless it's about Steve Nash being a party monster.

Who's your fave/least fave & why?

Desultory Delights: No. 6

• Iggy's 18 page rider
• Chihuahua terrariums 
• Mad Men is back, rejoice!
• A nice 'MEH' banner feature
• I'd like to write on these, only just for a minute.
• Tracy made this for me  (or rather, posted photos for me, but a girl can pretend, right?)
• R thought it strange that a middle class family would have a butler. This episode is tops.
• Spotted: Clémence Poésy at Madewell. She looked disheveled and hungry AND kept getting in my way!
• Olivier Zahm got dumped. Schadenfreude?
• Coffee & cantankery, a great mix!
• ART THOU BORED?
• Just 'cuz

DO OVER!

I think it would behoove me to have a do over of these past few weeks.

C is for:

You know what fixes everything? 

Beer and lorazepam. 

Also, good friends who see things that remind them of you and take the time to let you know. I love every bit of these delicious internet morsels. You know me so well. Although... tell me what you really think of me, HAH!

(Thanks, Celia & ESBx2)

SHHH.
