Is England Really Full Of Mingers?

Fifa 2006 World Cup is underway and England is on to the quarter finals this Sunday! Why do all people say that people from England are ugly? I obviously do not agree, and Britians football team is nothing less that gorgeous - check out these blokes! If everyone in England looked like these guys I'd be moving there tomorrow. Good luck on the pitch! (Becks, Cole, Owen, Lampard)

Sisters?

Amanda Eagle and Renee O'Connor, otherwise known as Gabrielle - Xena Warrior Princess's sidekick in her wars againast evil. Do we see a resemblance?

I miss old cars :(

You know what I really like? Old cars. Why aren't there more on the road? Its seems to me, and some may agree - that cars today all seem to look like one another. No variety really. Examples... Lexus E300 and the Toyota Camery. Ford Explorer and the Mercury Mountaineer. Granted they are both own by the same motor companies, but do they all have to look the same. Why can't a new car be made that runs with the engine of a new car, yet carries the body of an old car? Like a '57 Chevy hardtop? Or maybe a '56 Ford Thunderbird convertible like the one Elvis used to have? Or what about those old cadillacs with the fins? Wouldn't you like some fins on your car? Hell yes I would. Anyways, I rarely see old cars on the road anymore - only once in a while... and you know what people say, styles go around in cycles... so when are old car designs going to come back? Hopefully sooner rather than later. And just for the record, if I could have a classic auto to drive around Beantown, its be a Dodge Super Sport hardtop, dark green with two white racing stripes down the hood. SaaaaaWWeeet!

Movie Review - SUPERMAN RETURNS

Superman Returns! Well - not really. Mr. Reeves is dead and not coming back, but the fictional hero "superman", otherwise known as Clarke Kent has returned from planet Kryptonite and is back to serve as savior to the world in this new high-budget blockbuster movie that is sure to take the weekend box office by storm. All your faves are back - Lois Lane, Lex Luther, the Daily Planet staff, and the hords of useless stupid NYC citizens (only in the move folks, I love new yorkers) that enjoy looking at the sky and refusing to move as a giant billboard/car/rock/or meteor hurtles towards them from the sky, and wait for our man in tights to show up and save the fucking day. Aside of being 2 1/2 hours, I enjoyed the movie.. of course hoping the whole time that he'll fuck Lane, but alas the film is a bit slow. Spacey is clutch. Sorry for Superman fans but I always root for the villan and the fact that both his yatch, helicopter, and plans for world armaggedon are ruined makes me upset. Why can't a villan win once and a while? Lets think of all the Cruellas, Ursellas, Wicked Witches of the North, and Jason Vorhees? Why can't these dudes get a break? I mean really... lets give them a bit of slack.

And YES it was my birthday - what did I do?

A birthday is just another day - right? Only your a year older. Eeeesh if your 29 and YES if your 20. For me it was so-so cause I'm 22 now. Just wanted to fill you in on what I did on my birthday... hmm your british boyfriend is in town and you have alot of alcohol and a HUGE house to yourself... hmmm... what did I do all day? Don't mean to gloat, but use your imagination! Gooooood day!

It's a certain special someone's special day!

Yes, that's right... 22 years ago today (8pm, to be exact) a certain special girl was pushed into this world. 8 lbs 4 ounces of pure joy....Julia Marie Dunn. Rumor has it that she was born holding a chainsaw but I want to tell all the readers that this, unfortunately, is just a rumor. She was actually born holding a crossbow and a bottle of lighter fluid. I'm not sure what the little tyke did with these necessities, but I'm sure it was something great.

22 years ago today, I was already shoving food into my fat face with my fat hands and making stupid noises. Julia is just a wee baby compared to me... but now that's a good thing because no matter how old Julia gets, I will always be older. That means I'll be the first to hit the dreaded 30. Ugh.

Julia, you youthful, lucky bitch... I salute you on this wonderful day. Too bad there is a tropical storm blowing through the area. But who needs the real sun when they can have Julia? She radiates like the sun...she actually gave me some first degree burns with a death glare one time. Dangerous.

Only messing, dear.

Julia doesn't know what I got her for her birthday but she will find out on Sunday. And no, silly, it's not a giant hamburger though that sounds kinda nice.

So...

So is the Spanish version of the card game "UNO" called "ONE"?


Yep... I've been thinking about it a lot.





This chick has been thinking about it too...

Things to ponder: A glance inside the mind of an insomniac.

I haven't slept for more than 5 hours since about April 10th...or maybe even before that. I was just throwing that date out there so I could attempt to solidify my claim.

So... I was sitting in bed...which, by the way, is exactly 5 strides from my little couch where I smoosh myself to write or type... depending on how motivated I'm feeling. If I have something REALLY good to say, I write it. If not, I just type because it's a helluva lot faster and I can't stand the fact that my handwriting changes every 5 minutes...

Oh..right... back to my story. I was sitting in bed and realized, wow... I wish that a little typwriting thumbelina-style man or woman or whatever was sitting in my brain recording my train of thought because I was reallllly thinking about some extremely MANIACAL things.

Like...

Why the hell don't airplanes have parachutes for everyone on board? I mean, how much space can a parachute actually take up. I'm not like, a pro skydiver or anything but I can't imagine a few hundred little parachute backpacks could weigh that much. Throw a couple of the bottles of Gin out the window to make room. No one drinks that pinetree scented shit anyways.

Or... going off on someone...

it's a fairly common phrase, correct? Well... if you "go off" on someone you tend to turn up the volume rather than turn it off... shouldn't the phrase be go on to someone? It sounds stupid but the thought actually crossed my mind. I'd probably use the phrase "freakin flipped the fuck out" but where is the sense in that alliteration?

Ok soooo that's really all I wanted to share with whoever is dumb enough to read what I (or we, for that matter) have to say.

tuesday schmoozeday

today alex asked me how to spell the word "maniacal" except she had some weird whacked out spelljob going on. Now she knows the correct spelling so I feel like my life is complete. I also feel like my life is complete because I have successfully unpacked 1 out of the 6 boxes that are piled on my front porch. I move at a very slow pace unless I'm doing something I actually want to do... So for all of you crazies out there that ever thought I was a slow walker, slow talker or any of that nonsense...now you know, I probably didn't like you to move quickly in your presence.

I have no idea where I am going with today's chat. Who named blogs blogs? I wanna meet whoever it was because I think that's a wonderful name....random and weird. But I might be digging myself a hole right now saying that because there is probably some weird computer geek reason behind it or maybe its just a pneumonic device.


By the way... I used a psychology term in a sentence yesterday. I'm still trying to get over it. My self esteem level has fallen directly through the earth and is now seeping into outer space from somewhere in Asia. Sweet.

This guy has the right idea...

This swan baby caught my attention the other day while I was sitting on my dock. I've lived on a lake for my entire life... I've seen a helluvalotta swans and their kiddies but I've never seen anything like this... What a smart little guy, catching a ride across the pond for some free food. Actually, two of them were riding on this mom's back but I only caught one on camera. Damn.

Ok that's all for now. If I were a cignet, AKA baby swan for all you non-animal planet-watching fools...I'd definitely get free rides from the rents...after all, their feet are bigger and can cover more ground in a smaller amount of time. This baby is the shit.

Home Depot=Drug Depot

Massachusetts Home Depots are really taking a turn for the best. Their new marketing campaign has made front page news all over the country. Although the two reports of finding large quantities of cannabis hidden inside Home Depot merchandise is supposed to be a bad thing, I can't imagine sales will drop. In fact, I am thinking about marching my little ass right down to Home Depot in Hingham right now to purchase as many bathroom vanities as possible in hopes of scoring one of these 50-pound bricks of greenery.

But I do have some beef with this story.... who are the two extreme toolbags that decided it would be a good idea to turn in these bails of goodness? I mean, come on... if you buy a bathroom vanity for your house you're not thinking "hmmmm maybe if I buy this one it will have a bail of weed inside and I can sell it and make some extra cash for some beer and pizza.." It's not your fault if you happen to buy one that is chock full of ganja... you should just think of it as a "someone loves me today" bonus! And don't try to give me the excuse that you are a non-smoker and you frown upon the stuff because in all reality, if you don't smoke, you probably know someone that does and would highly appreciate a BAIL of it. So, whoever you are...

what the hell were you doing turning it in?

And whoever it was that had the bright idea to store their goods inside purchaseable pieces of furniture...way to go, smartie. WAY TO GO. My theory is that Home Depot did it on purpose, to boost sales.

More Pics from the trip...

ROAD TRIP EAST COAST USA 2006

So we made it...

Savannah, GA to Statesville NC (w/ one stop in Brattensville, SC)....

Statesville NC to Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah Mountains in VA....

Skland to Washington DC to be AMERICANS and drink a lot of alcohol....

DC to NYC to do the exact same...

NYC to Northampton MA to take tequila shots with Mr. Chuck Jeffrey (dad)....

Northampton to Scituate MA to go to the movies (Cars...good flick...) and then... we split up. Weird. Now I am still in Scituate and Julia is in Belmont and the road trip was quite eventful... we had a wonderful time, met wonderful people and reunited with wonderful friends. It's a pity it had to end.

We kinda miss florida... how strange. it's 4:50 we should be heading to happy hour trivia w/ curtis but nooooooooo im stuck in scituate ... thats ok... i'll be moving out soon enough to start the next chapter.
