Big news:

Noelle is pregnant! Due 9/1 or so. Jesus! She's the glamourous one, too. I suggested some names, my favorite of which (if it's a girl) is Spanky Clydesdale.

Also I am so desperate for a Mini Cooper I am considering getting another job.
But I *should* get a Honda Civic Hybrid to counteract all the dicksucking SUV drivers out there. Shits.

Grammatical pet peeves du jour:

"I should of done that" instead of "should have" or even "should've"
(Similar sins are "would of" "could of" and any other past participle properly using HAVE

Obviously, "your welcome" drives me absolutely batshit. YOU ARE = you're, is it that difficult?

Drownded. He will drown. He has drowned. He is drowning. That's all. No other forms of drown. Is it because they are thinking of a flounder? Or someone having founded an association to kill stupid people

I haven't been privileged enough to be able to complain about gerund misusage or anything truly nitpicky because of the people I surround myself with. But I enjoy their shooting themselves in the foot.

Even with the new browser update the buttons still disappear. Now this blog is to complain about Blogger! I am being typecast as an increasingly negative person (hmmm maybe it's because NOTHING in my life is going right and maybe I am tired of pretending to be chipper when I have to do it all day at work) but what works for the gander (rich) apparently does not work for the goose (moi) so fuck the double standard. I could just rant about joe millionaire but US Magazine does such a better job of it.
Also Slim Fast made me gain 20 lbs in two months! It can pork you out too!

Oh for fucks sake! i typed past the line where I can see the publish button and of course lost it all. what the FUCK!
I don't remember what it said because it was a great rant which was how I got over the line about how dr pepper is a less-evil form of caffeine and yet the carbs and all that and diet blows because of the taste, same # of carbs and also mind-fucking aspartame, why don't I just mainline MSG and go into a coma. you just had to be there, sorry this browser window won't let me. singing in the car makes me feel better as does playing my music in the house and dancing around which of course I can't do when rob is here (though the piano can go at all hours but that is different) so I really need my own study.

what's totally vexing is my inability to blog more than 10 lines (and the entry lines end right here*******)
without the stupid Publish button disappearing, so i can't really go off on a tear like i'd like. but blogs were built for PMS, don't you think? cuz everything sux, right? anyway so now I have to watch my carbs, which after one day of close scrutiny it appears that EVERY SINGLE FOOD ITEM including the healthy ones have carbs in them, and fish has mercury and produce has pesticides and dairy makes me fart and it's all a disgusting mess. why don't we just eat rice cakes and vitamin pills? because I am sure One A Day plus Iron is high in cholesterol or in xenophobia-inducing steroids. readers may notice I have not written any reviews and it's because I can't stand to sit at the computer while the piano is going or after a day of sitting at the computer and my social life is exhausting me and I just want to be happy is that so much to ask???????????

Only 51 days until the Oscars! I am never going to be ready.
Oh yeah, and the Chicago book didn't come out when the CD did.

this is how crappy Celia's new home town is: not only do they themselves not have a movie theatre (or for that matter, direct postal delivery to the home), the closest one is 30-45 minutes away, and STILL Chicago has not yet opened *there* - or in Atlanta (90 min away) at all! Jeez!

On a somber note, sucks about the Columbia! I remember it's maiden voyage, all the fervor and excitement. It was 1980, and I was still allowed up in the main house, and I was watching it on TV in the dining room (sitting on the floor by the window) and I was very moved, despite the "on the road again" tuned "SS Columbia" song playing as it went up.
