What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Falwell Dies, Tinky Winky and Gays Everywhere Rejoice

Death is never a time to celebrate, but I think we should memorialize this recent passing by having a huge orgy!

LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell, the television evangelist who founded the Moral Majority and used it to mold the religious right into a political force, died Tuesday shortly after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University. He was 73."
Sorry if my enthusiasm offends you, but remember, this is a man who said feminists, gays, lesbians, and the ACLU were partly responsible for 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

His exact words...
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way—all of them who have tried to secularize America—I point the finger in their face and say you helped this happen."
Falwell also...
  • Supported racial segregation during the Civil Rights movement, saying, "I do question the sincerity of people like the Reverend Martin Luther King..."
  • Supported the South African apartheid and opposed Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
  • Called Ellen DeGeneres "Ellen Degenerate" when she announced she was a lesbian, and demanded that sponsors yank their advertising from her sitcom.
  • Said "AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals."
  • Announced the long-awaited "anti-christ" will be a Jewish man.
Even though the man ultimately encouraged hate by passing judgment on others, I feel bad about making a joke and passing judgement on him in this post, because I don't pass judgment on people—even though I am passing judgment on him right now. You know what I mean? Whatever though... the orgy's still on. My place, tonight at eight. Bring only yourselves... I'll provide the chips and lube!

Gloom Be Gone

Remember what I said I was in a funk? Well, I'm officially out of the bell jar and will be posting more frequently, so check back!

(Yes, I had a three-month long funk. I was overwhelmed with things... I'm not a good juggler.)

My Dream

After taking Beverly for a long walk today, I came home, turned on a little space heater I have and fell asleep on the couch. While I was sleeping, I had the most delightful dream that I lived in a big apartment that had six rooms, a walk-in closet, an enormous kitchen and a big back deck. It was in NYC, but for some reason it was on the beach. (Dreams never make sense.) Flickering candles were sitting on all the tables outside and it was so nice...

I hate small NYC apartments. I want a place like this.

I don't know why I decided to write about my dream. Maybe I'm hoping doing so will help it become real.

Okay, bye bye.

Click me, Click me!

I'm in the last row at 25Peeps!

Please click HERE, then click the picture to the left and you'll come right back.

25Peeps is a website that displays the pics of 25 "peeps" that link to blogs. The peeps are sorted by popularity, which is based on how many times people click their picture. When a new peep enters the roster, the least popular peep gets pushed off the site. The idea is to stay on the front page as long as possible because it increases traffic to your blog.

Thanks!

25Peeps

I made 25peeps!

Okay, here's the scoop. 25Peeps is a website that displays the pics of 25 "peeps" that link to blogs. The peeps are sorted by popularity, which is based on how many times people click their picture. When a new peep enters the roster, the least popular peep gets pushed off the site. The idea is to stay on the front page as long as possible because it increases traffic to your blog.

Hopefully, if enough of you click my pic, I can stay on 25Peeps front page for months on end like good ole Tits McGilicutty here...


which is really just some guy's pimply butt...


Disturbing... yeah, I know. (BTW, here's a link to pimples' website--he's funny.)

Anyway, I think you can click my peep once a day (that sounds kind of perverted), so please click here, then click my picture and come right back!

REMINDER: YOU CAN ONLY CLICK IT ONCE A DAY!

Gee George, what a brilliant idea


"Bush says he will consult with generals on change of tactics in Iraq."

Do you think this just dawned on him today? "You know, maybe we should change what we're doing over there because things aren't going so well."

Ryan the Fishing Guy

Here's a link to an exciting blog written by a guy named Ryan who likes to fish:


(I have no idea who Ryan is, nor how I ended up reading his blog.)

UPDATE: Since Manic Mom found it necessary to tell Ryan the fishing guy that I may have a crush on him, I thought I'd explore the very possibility of that, seeing as though I'm in the market for a new Boy Toy. If all goes well, here's what the future could look like:




You might think I'm joking, but he's kinda cute in a dirty-boy sort of way. Look:


Stay tuned.

MySpace Guys

Okay, I don't know what's going on, but within the last twenty minutes, about ten single men want to be my friend on MySpace. Did they post my profile in a recently updated area or something like that? I might be excited if the guys were my type, but...

"Steve," who's 40 and lives in Massachusetts, wants to meet—and I quote—"some sexy rich bitch that enjoys sex."

"*Ask Me How Big My C0CK Is*" is a 17-year-old kid from Queens who... well, his profile doesn't say anything else except, "Ask Me How Big My C0CK Is."

"XxX MeLts In YoUr MoUth XxX"—although at 21 is a bit older and therefore more qualified than *Ask Me How Big My COCK Is*—wrote, "I know i younger than you but am into older women." His profile says, "I go to school and work so stop thinking that im a loser." Some of his pastimes include "hanging out with my niggas, eat, sleep, girls, and more girls."

How do I choose?

Pringles

Pringles are one good chip. How do you think they make them? Do you think they mash potatoes up and then spread the mash on some sort of curved thing-y before baking them? Really think about this. They can't just slice them off of a roll of some kind because of the curve. There has to be more to it than that. And do you think they add the flavors like sour cream & onion or BBQ to the mash batter? Or do you think they bake regular Pringles and sprinkle the flavors on afterward?
