Egad, it's Christmas. Eck. This is an emotional time anyway, because Dad died just after Christmas and his birthday was at the beginning of December. And now it is twice as sad because this will be the 1st Christmas without my brother-in-law since I was about 5. my middle sis and I were saying that divorce is almost like if the person who is not blood related to you died, and it's true. So overall it is a melancholy and blue, blue blue blue Christmas. In any case, Minka would like to wish everyone a Meowy Christmas.
blargh! this is not posting that pic why why why and mink is on my knee, purring about her xmas debut...


ah yesssss finally! oh, that lil dude looks like a beanie baby Jesus, but actually it is Qui Gon Jinn (Ginn or Jinn? not even sure) which Marcus gave me cuz I'm a Star Wars geek....not too much though I guess cuz I can't spell the name...... anyway a lil silliness is good to chase away the rest of the shit that life brings...

oh here is another pic cuz I can never get enough of it...my sistas. I wasn't born yet, not until about 7 years later....

that is too classic. I love that. Oh, I am going to post that on Craigslist hehehe cuz more peeps will see it there. See, all it takes to pull my dumb ass out of a deep blue funk is some funny pictures and also some wine.

I guess it is from stress, related to losing my job, but I am the sickest that I have been in some time. I had a cold that hung on for two weeks, and has now mutated into some bizarre flu. I am alternately depressed as hell and uncontrollably giddy. I was just laughing so hard at some bizarre email from my mom that was forwarding photos of animals, cute photos- but with titles in german or something. For example there was a picture of these foxes with huge ears, called fuchs. And a leopard called gepard. And something called guten-schlag, I really could not begin to tell you what it was. Then there was a housecat and an eagle and I cannot recall the name of that particular photo at the moment, but the title of it alongside the picture had me ROTFLMAO.

I was going to post the fuchs but the picture is too fuching big

so you get this instead
howdy!

It's all the same, only the names will change

thus spake Bon Jovi, and innit true? innit?

Lost miserable job, which, believe me is for the best. It was like cars playing chicken, who is going to swerve off the road first.... well it was them godammit and piss on em anyway.... I got a lovely parting gift.

Had marvelous weekend, got to hang out with my lil nieces, which always cheers me up some. Just got home today....having 80's flashback day, complete w/ Pac Man and Dexy's Midnight Runners....

Think I will be blogging more these days, in vain effort to avoid job hunting on Craigslist....

that's all fer now

Vote.... if you are informed. otherwise stay home and blog about stupid shit and aspire to find a way to become informed, from an unbiased source...next time...

*sigh*

I love the Osbournes because it just goes to show it doesn't matter how rich you are, you still may end up picking up dogshit and reading US magazine. i am watching my 1st season DVD, it is one of those weekends where i don't feel like doing anything....have those a lot lately. But back to dogshit, you know when i was in kindergarten, on Halloween I went as Miss America. A fancy dress and a red velvet cape, sash, and a tinfoil crown. And that was the first day that I ever picked up dogshit. Who remembers the first time they picked up dogshit, ya know? But here I am watching the Osbournes and thinking of that.

and i am making chicken "Banquet" brand frozen fried chicken. And it smells damn good. It reminds me of at Great America, back in the day before it was Paramounts it used to be Marriots, and there was a yummy chicken place. I better go for now because i keep spelling chicken "chicking" and that is a sure sign (sine) that i had too much Vodka and I should really try to be good on a Sunday cuz that is the Sabbath innit and I am s'posed to keep it holy....

that is at Great America circa the time they had the chicken place, as well as the very merry Mardi Gras parade "the parade passes by with it's flags waving high, shout hooray it's a day like the fourth of July, in a marching revue Great America for you, it's the merry Mardi Gras parade!" back then they had the warners characters, and now they are true hanna barbarians. But you can go to Marine World for Bugs N Daffy.

My oldest sister is getting a divorce, and it is surreal to me. They have been married for 22 years, the majority of my lifetime they have been married, and it is really odd to think that they will not be married anymore. I think my mom and my middle sister and her kids and I are taking it the hardest. Very strange. First divorce in our family, really.
