Looks Like Someone's Gotta Case Of The Mondays!

Today is Monday, September 30th and the moon is not full. Just about everyone that I've come in contact with today has been a completely miserable cockjugglingthundercunt.  This constant parade of assholes has worn me down and, I'm pretty sure, turned me into one of them. I am in a mood. If I were a giant green genetic mutation I would totally stomp through the city and destroy millions.  

Nananana. Nananana. Hey Hey Hey! Goodbye.

Tonight is the night that we say good bye to "Breaking Bad".  As sad as I am to see it go, it's nice to know that it's going to go out while it's still great. It's also nice to know that Vince Gilligan was able to tell his story without compromise.   With any luck, when all is said and done each one of us will be able to tell our own stories in our own way.  

Tonight I also take a departure from the usual graphic T to wear a top that is an homage to Marie Shrader.   That woman sure loves the hell out of purple!

Ninja, PUHLEEZ!

Who's got mad ninja skills?  That person would be me. BOOM!  ::drops mic::

Please Stand Clear Of The Doors

Is Walt Disney World REALLY the happiest place on Earth?  Honestly, there are some variables involved which include time of year, time of day, size of your party, who's in your party, are you making a quick day visit OR is it the beginning or end of a week-long vacation.   I can assure you that the levels of "happy" on day one is much higher than it is on the afternoon of your last day.  There are a lot of smiles and giggles on an autumn evening during the week and a whole lotta cursing, bitching and moaning during a surface of the sun hot Saturday summer afternoon. 

The Dis is as much a happy place to me as Vegas is.  Most of my visits have been filled with great joy while other times have been so incredibly awful that I am still amazed that I'm not incarcerated for going on a rampage in the Port Orleans food court during a Christmas family vacation.   

Regardless, one aspect of the park that is always just pure awesome is the monorail.   It's a cool place to sit, great place to people watch and a fine more of transport.  If you've never ridden one then give it a go because you've been missing out.  

Bottled Water One Dollar!

Simply put, Vegas is my "happy place".  Fun games, bright lights, exceptional people watching, elaborate shows, fantastic food and FREE BOOZE!  Unfortunately, to get from A to B & to enjoy such things one has to pass many a holder of porn slapper.  You also have to wade through a knee-high pile of escort cards. 

You can make lemonade and either turn said cards I to a nice deck of playing cards. (Fun Fact: That's a GREAT conversation starter!). Also, if you were of the mind, you could call on a fair lady for companionship.  What do I like to do when encountered with these individuals?  Just say hey, walk right by and covet their attire.  I mean a girl's gotta make a living somehow.  Right?!?!?

WAIT!  Did I just equate myself to a lady of the evening?  ::Charlie Brown walks::

Take The Last Train To Clarksville

It's another Paul Frank shirt featuring Julius.  I got it at Fashion Show Mall in Vegas during a drunken, post blackjack win shopping spree and....that's all I've got tonight.  Sorry. 

Flying At The Speed Of Light. Thoughts Were Spinning in My Head.

After months of almost zero activity (and with three big races coming up with the next couple of months) I figured that it was time to get off my lazy ass.  I laced up my spiffy new running shoes and threw on my favorite running at because, quite frankly, public nudity is illegal in this state.

On my shirt is Cinderella's castle.  I purchased it at the happiest place on Earth and proudly wore it at my first Disney 5K as well as many other races since then.  It's cotton.  It's cozy.  It's comfy.  It also brings back so many memories and reminds me of how much my life truly has changed for the better.

Shanga! Shangaverymuch!

"They" say that all good things come to an end. But then again, so do all bad things and, quite frankly, all things in general. Nothing lasts forever.

Well...maybe some things do last forever...like this super super comfy long sleeve T from Lands End with the Springs Apartments logo embroidered on it.  I've had this thing for something like 5 or 6 years at this point, I do believe, and it's my "I don't give a fuck what I look like because I'm relaxing at home and it's Fall" shirt.  It also reminds me of the good old days or stressful old days or just some work days. 

I'm going In. Rambo Style!

Since it's Emmy night I figured that I'd show some love to an award winning TV drama that I've been a fan if that ISN'T "Breaking Bad" or "LOST".  Did you think one existed?  I bet not!  But I have loved a show before and cried like a baby at the very end.  The show made me laugh, cry and even angered me from time to time.  It may have been a procedural medical drama, but the lead character was a brilliant, highly flawed, charming son of a bitch who I invited into my home weekly. Here's to you, Gregory House!

THAT'S How You Get Ants!

No cartoon makes me laugh as hard as FX's "Archer".  I mean if you haven't figured out that I'm massive fan girl of that show already (especially since I've already babbled on about Pam & Cheryl) then clearly you have memory issues and should probably see a physician. 

I'm also a BIG fan of my dog, Artie. Sadly, he's such a little guy that he could, easily, be gobbled up by one of Sterling Malory Archer's three biggest fears. 

See You In Another Life, Brutha.

Thanks to a little show called LOST, my life changed forever...and for the better. 

I purchased this shirt to wear for the finale, but instead rocked another on that day.  A shirt that I had purchased to support a particular podcast that have me joy over the years.  (More to come about that later.). 

Years later, I still proudly wear this T and it makes me think of how different things now are.  I think about how different I am.  I think about the great friends that I've made and experiences I've had.  I think about all of the possibilities to come. 

I'd Just As Soon Kiss A Wookie

As a child of the 70's, I firmly believe that Star Wars was the greatest sci-fi film of all time.  Also, Princess Leia was the first strong, no nonsense, sassy and kick ass female that I was exposed to on the big screen.  

OH!  If you didn't already know...I'm totally "that guy" when it comes to episodes IV - VI.  There was zero reason to remaster and add all that CGI insanity! There was also nooooooooo reason why those pieces of crap prequels needed to be made.  Let's be for real.  We could have all lived happy and full lives NOT having watched Hayden Christensen's pathetic attempt at acting like a whiny bitch.  

I've Been A Bad, Bad Girl

Well Christ on a cracker!  It's been quite a few days since I've logged a blog entry and I just bet you've been waiting on pins and needles. Am I right?  

Had I disappeared?  Was I full if shit and really don't have the veritable plethora of nerd shirts that I've claimed to own?  Have I blog-faded due to boredom?  NOPE!  Just went on a weekend to visit some fam and then got hyper mega ultra busy with work and such.  Never you fear!  I'm back and better than ever!

Speaking of which, I've been super lazy then sick then busy then lazy then busy so needless to say, I haven't been working out as much as I should.  I've also been enjoying delectable (meaning bad for you) foods and refreshing (meaning alcoholic) drinks as well. Soooooooo tonight as I chill in a big ass comfy hoodie that I borrowed from a friend her liked her AC down wayyyy too low a few years back and enjoy a Greek yogurt I've decided that it's back on the straight and narrow starting tomorrow morning. I'm thinking a nice two-miler before work. That's a good starting point I think!

Are YOU Suggesting Coconuts Migrate?

Since I've been at Casa de Madre's since yesterday, I've been feeling nostalgic.  

Most of my life I've felt like a bit of an outsider.  Even my sense of humor has always been a little "off".  When I was in Jr. High, while most kids were entertained by TGIF, I was (figuratively) laughing my head off watching Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones and Monty Python's Flying Circus.  I know that many think that the Parrot Sketch is played out at this point, but I think it's hilarious!  Right at this second, as I type this entry, I can hear "THIS is an EX-PARROT!" in my head. 

Since I have an obvious love for Monty Python is goes without saying that I absolutely adore "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".  It's a brilliant comedy that does not take itself seriously at all. Genius. Pure genius.  It's quotable and highly re-watchable.  If you haven't seen it then you've lived under a rock since 1975.  Sorry!  Didn't mean to get all judgmental there. Or did I?  

 

Mas Cerveza Por Favor!

Not gonna lie....I'm the kinda gal who likes a nice unfiltered hefeweizen.  I also like a good ghost story.  Seems like two random things, I know.  But really it's not! 

In Savannah FREAKIN', GA is a place where you can get a delicious micro-brewed beverage made of barley & hops, an amazing blue cheese bacon burger, outrageous sweet potato fries as well as a scary tale or two.  You see....the joint is haunted!   It was even featured on Ghost Adventures so you know it's legit. Right? 

Freakin' Cheeseheads!

It seems like a century ago that I had one of the coolest jobs ever!  I mean how can getting paid to travel to interesting places, meeting wacky characters on a daily basis, being given a corporate AmEx card which could be used to wine & dine staff members and then hang out with some of your best friends while in the office be anything other than fandamntastic? 

So this one time...at awesome job...we were surprised by a trip to Wisconsin for a football game. The next day, hungover and exhausted, I got this shirt and a package of cheese curd to snack on whilst stuck in the damned airport thanks to some sort of delay.  I mean what the hell else is there to do in Wisconsin?  

Did You Learn NOTHING From My Chemistry Class?

Today I found a little gift to myself in my mailbox & damn near squealed with delight when I saw the blue plastic TeeFury envelope as soon as I swung the door wide open!  However, there was no friggin' way THAT I wasn't going to rush up to my apartment with the package.  HELL!  I ripped into that bad boy the second I stepped foot into my apartment and immediately changed out of my work clothes and into the latest and greatest nerd shirt in my collection.  

So much for keeping it virgin until finale night.  

All hail King Heisenberg!

Demons Lie

Last year, thanks to the flu, I managed to mainline something like 28 seasons of Supernatural right before the past season started. What I like about the show is the fact that it's a healthy mix of monster of the week and series-based mythology.  Also, yeah we have to deal with gratuitous Sammy Winchester shirtlessness from time to time, but for the most part it does not look or feel like a CW show.  

UGH!  Now I have visions of that terrible Arrow (Too much insane sexual tension between Oliver & his annoying sister.) and The Vampire Diaries (Vampires can move around in the day thanks you special jewelry...REALLY?!?!?).  Now indeed to go give my brain a good scrubbing with something decent to make the memories of bad bad TV go away. 

It's Ah-Meee! Mario!

Super Mario 3 is one of the greatest video games of all times. NUFF SAID!

I Do What I Want!

Soooooooooooo it's like this...I am a people pleaser.  Part of this curse is that I sit back and take a lot of bullshit. But every once in a while I snap and can unleash the fury!  (OH!  By "unleash the fury" I mean go into hiding and burst into tears so that I can get some release.) 

As of late, I've been putting up with unusually massive quantities of nonsense.  So much, in fact, that, whilst ill, this little chick-a-dee had to cowgirl up and carry on instead of cocooning.  I'm finally one with red sofa as I write this and much less cranky pants than I was about 30 minutes ago when I was super fired up about something that I'm having trouble recalling right now. DAMMIT!  What was I going to write about?  

OH YEAH!  So when one feels like shit on a shingle every little friggin' thing seems worse than it actually is.  Am I right?  I know I am.  Today was one of those days!  Now if I wasn't such a people pleaser (or didn't fear unemployment) I would be as sassy as they come and speak with a barbed tongue.  Alas, occasionally I wear shirts which display my latent smartassery.  Now off to bed with me!

 

Cereal! Where Did You Guys Get Cereal?

So there's some kind of crud that has, seemingly, come out of nowhere and is taking everyone in our little office out. Today seems to be my "lucky" day.  

I'm achy, whiny, headachy and nauseas therefore I can use a little comfort and what's more comforting than the camaraderie of friends?  So with that in mind, I grabbed my Ben Linus T with which to pass out all medicated-style in this evening.  You see, if it wasn't for a show called LOST I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today. I also wouldn't have had so many of the fantastic experiences that I've been fortunate enough to have had and I wouldn't have the amazing group of friends that I am proud to call family.   

Peet Stop?

Now I don't mean to brag, BUT I do have the best commute ever.   It's a 60 second walk from my new place to the office and I love, love, LOVE IT!  Besides not having to put daily miles on my decade-old Chevy and dealing with the massive cluster that IS DC metro traffic, I get to chill at my casa for lunch on the daily.  I can whip up a nice light mid-day meal, watch a DVRd show, take a nap or do whatever I damn please and it is FANDAMNTASTIC!

This afternoon I'm just chilling in my PJs, ironically wearing a T with vehicles on it and munching on some baby carrots while watching some "Property Brothers".

You Should Know I Bleed Blue

I was born and raised in the capital region of New York.   If you didn't know, there is a state law in place which requires all New Yorkers to root for the NY Giants during football season and the Yankees during baseball season.  I'm certain that there are hefty fines and penalties for those who even so much as hang a Jets flag in front of their homes or, heaven forbid, don a Meta cap!

So since the regular season is almost over I figured I'd rock one of my fave Yankees Ts tonight.  Theoretically, they'll win tonight because I'm wearing it. 

Greatest. Treat. Ever!

Whether you prefer it in a cup, cone, with pineapple juice as a float or swimming in a coconut cup filled with rum as you ride on a sea horse Dole Whip is the greatest freakin' treat there is.  Dole Whip alone is worth the price of admission into the Magic Kingdom.  Blah blah blah wishes, memories and dreams nothing!  Dole Whip is why one should visit the parks.  

YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!!!!!

For my drive back from Cleveland (which DOES rock, bee tee dubs) I chose to wear a shirt that always makes me feel a little sassy. 

Unlike Pam Poovey, I have practically nothing in common with the star of today's nerd shirt...Cheryl Tunt.  I am not a rubber cement drinking, LSD gummy bear ingesting multi-billionaire pyromaniac who likes "dry humpy chokers".  What Cheryl's lines DO is consistently make me laugh so hard that I snort and, sometimes, almost wet myself.  

Where's Perry?!?!?!?

Um....he's on one of my favorite lounging around shirts.  That's where he is!

I mean how can one not "heart" a teal platypus secret agent?  It's impossible!  Perry is "the man" and the Disney Channel cartoon Phineas and Ferb is, IMHO, one of the most hilarious shows out there.  Children seem to like it and there are so many jokes and pop culture references for adults that it's damn near perfect family programming.  

Of you haven't seen it I recommend throwing on an ep or two.  My favorites are: "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", "The Chronicles of Meap" & "Nerds of a Feather."  All three make me, literally, LOL!
