Did I just hear my local news correctly?
Bush is looking to overhaul the “antiquated” work model that allows for overtime pay after 40 hours of work per week?
And that this is a decision he can just make? Without Congress?
Is this true?
Is he a fucking idiot, completely out of touch with reality?
(note: only the last question is rhetorical)
Penises? Penii?
Ack, who cares.
Need any stuff for your penis wishlist?
Blow-up man with vibrating penis, perhaps?
I know – Penis Dooby-Boppers.
Hey, holdonaminnit…did I just say vibrating penis? Gotta go!

Yesterday was a helluva day around the Robin household.
I was sitting at my computer, working away, when I heard the neighbor’s three dogs barking.
At first I was annoyed.
All of a sudden I realized that the barking had taken on a different tone.

Truth is stranger than fiction.
A chihuahua was choking on the nose of a talking Taco Bell Chihuahua doll. His owner called 911 and they used infant CPR to save him.
What, don’t believe me? It’s true!

It’s an odd time. My mom died last January 7. 2002, not 2003. I thought last year would be the worst year, with all the firsts without her, but it does not seem to be the case.

Your brother is an activist. You suspect he may be involved in a series of bombings. Do you notify authorities?
In a minute.
A friend’s spouse is coming on to you. Do you tell the friend?
I would try to work it out with the spouse first.
Your company’s profits will double if you replace 22 long-time employees with new software. Do you?
Gah! This one is tough. I would have to say no. Thankfully, I am not in this situation, so I can afford to be altruistic.
The man was beating his dog to death with a rifle/shotgun and accidentally shot & killed himself.
He was planning to kill the dog because the dog had bit him.
One can’t help but wonder why he did not just shoot the dog, rather than trying to beat it to death.
Or better yet, why not just call animal control?
JoniElectric.com has an interest blog entry about a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, protesting the issuing of license plates in the state of South Carolina that said “Choose Life” on them.
Thankfully, there was not a Bush on the bench, OOPS, I mean the Judge decided this was a free speech matter and that the case had merit.
I recommend you read her blog for the intricacies of this case, because she talks real purdy and the rest of her blog is good reading. (Just trying to send back some blog love, since this entry would not be here were it not for her)
I was reading a news article about the loss of Nell Carter, a great talent.
WHY do they have to say this:
Blessed with a big voice and strong stage presence despite her 4-foot-11 height, the heavyset Carter prided herself on her range as a performer, doing musicals and drama as well as comedy.
Does it fucking matter that she was heavyset?
Idiots.
This is one of those quiz thingies, so only open if interested.

I LOVE Circus Peanuts.
No, not the crunchy guys in salty shell that elephants eat, the OTHER kind.
And so inexpensive! Only 50 cents per package for a 1 serving size!
The ingredients say that my little orange masterpieces MAY contain traces of Tree Nuts (walnuts, almosnds, pecans, cashews, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios or macadamias) so I believe they come by their categorizatrion as a nut candy fair and square.

In Kansas, a 18 year old boy performed oral sex on a younger teen boy. From everything I read, it appears it was consensual. But in Kansas, this is considered criminal sodomy.
His actions earned him a 17 year prison sentence.
The outrage starts when you hear that had he performed oral sex on a teen girl, he would receive a 15 month sentence.

If you have not checked out jadeDBlog, let me point you in her direction.
She is over here.
I love reading Rickie Beth’s thoughts on things. I personally am skinned in her Pepto color, because I love how the lines are not straight, they are squiggly.
And this is a girl, who sleeps in the nude, even in the dead of winter. That takes guts.
So, check her out.

Erm… was it just me or did she look like a ballerina in a jewelry box?
I could not even wait to get through the Golden Globes to comment on that.
THAT was scarier than Bjork’s Swan dress.
Yes, that’s right, tonight I broke the law. I was driving without a seatbelt.
In my sister’s Ranger pickup, the seatbelt hits me in the neck. If there was an accident, I would surely be decapitated, so I chose to defy the laws.
Personally, I don’t get laws that are made to protect me from me. Get your laws off my body.
So, I started thinking, if there were going to be laws to protect us from ourselves, then why is smoking legal? We ALL know that it kills us, but it is okay. Plus, with smoking, you can hurt someone else.
If I do not wear a seatbelt, or a helmet, I am only hurting me.
Could it be about money?

A good friend is having an extramarital affair and asks you to provide an alibi. Do you?
Ooh, that is tough. Am I the one he is having an affair with? Okay, you want me to be serious. I really don’t think I would. I would want to stay out of it.
As a reporter covering a tribal massacre in Africa, you befriend some people who will be killed unless you help them escape. At risk of losing your job, do you help?
Oh my gosh, yes. At the risk of my losing my life, I would help them escape massacre.
An employee of your ad agency is HIV positive. Clients and staff are uneasy and his work has suffered. Do you renew his contract?
Absolutely.
1. Where do you currently work?
Um, I think I will take the 5th on that. I’ve heard of people having problems saying where they work in their blogs. Unless you mean location, and it is in the Los Angeles area.
2. How many other jobs have you had and where?
Less than 10 other jobs, at banks, at computer companies, and Deer Valley Ski Resort the first year it opened.
3. What do you like best about your job?
I truly feel like I am contributing something to the betterment of the company, and to society in general.
4. What do you like least about your job?
Right now, I love everything about it. Okay, wait, I wish I worked nights.
5. What is your dream job?
To own a ranch and do dog rescue of older dogs. Or to find something I can do in the Deaf Community as a signer… work with recovery or children somehow.
Just another of my usual exciting Thursday nights, watching CSI.
Tonight’s episode had them seeking evidence in a landfill. Right nearby, bulldozer type vehicles were dumping more trash.
They were not wearing face masks. Does that seem realistic to you? Can you imagine how bad that must smell?
That is all.
Oolong, one of the most famous web bunnies, has passed away.
Bless you, Oolong and be happy at the Rainbow Bridge.
Be sure to navigate this photoblog, even if it is in Japanese and look at some of the pictures of precious little Oolong.
Just wondering, does anyone out there in blog land have one of these contraptions?
I am considering a purchase of one… in fact, I am driving to San Diego this weekend to go test drive one in person.
Just thought I would see if anyone has one, used one, loved one, hated one?
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any blog who isn’t me tonight!
I missed January 14, but I don’t care.
January 14 was the Bloggin’ Lovefest as announced by Robyn. I just read it just now.
The blogger I devote my lovefest to is Joanie, Da Goddess.
When I started blogging a few months ago, Joanie’s was one of the first blogs I find through clicking links. I timidly left her a few messages and she came back and commented on MY blog! Which, as you know, is a BIG deal when you are new, because it means SOMEONE IS READING ME and they like me!
Since then, I have come to believe that Joanie is one of the kindest, nicest, funniest women around. She is sexy, motherly, sisterly, mentorly, compassionate. I wish I knew more adjectives to describe her, but she ROCKS! and I adore her!!!!!!!!
GAH! I am so sick of intrusive TV! I was watching the American Music Awards last night and at the bottom right was the network logo, periodically a news bite would run across the bottom, and then in the upper left, it kept showing a Coke symbol for us to have “interactive advertising” during the show!
Fuck! There should be an option to turn all that shit off!!!!
Deaf people trying to read the captioning must go NUTS!
Thank you for the music.
And the rain will fall.
It falls for you.
And the clouds will break into tears.
You should be here.

She corrects this sentence for us:
“Iraq has failed to prove it doesn’t have weapons of mass destruction.”
The correct way to say it is:
“US have failed to prove that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.”
Q. You’re playing tennis with your boss for the first time. You’re winning and your boss is getting angry. Do you let him win?
A. Only if I want to sleep with him. *giggles*
Q. A murderer tells you where the body is buried. You’re his lawyer and this evidence will certainly convict him. But the victim’s family needs to know the truth. Do you keep silent?
A. I’m his lawyer. I have to keep silent. Just like Johnny Cochran did.
Q. You’re divorcing and must split your assets with your ex. S/he doesn’t know the true extent of your wealth. Do you disclose it?
A. I would disclose it if I lived in a place where my pre-marriage accumulations were protected.
I don’t get commercials for prescription drugs. I really don’t.
Not only are they freaky, with all their side effect information “Side effects include hairloss, diarrhea, nausea, liver failure, nuclear war, runny nose and dyspepsia” BUT
WHY do they exist? Are we supposed to watch them and figure out for ourselves what drugs we need?
And the scarier thing is that most times, I bet you can walk right into your doctor’s office and say “Hi, I need that little maroon pill please, so I can meet a man in the aisle of the supermarket like the lady on the commercial did” and the doctor will say “What is the number for your pharmacy?”
Stupid!!!!!! Okay, I am done.
1. Where are you right now?
At home, at my desk.
2. What time is it?
2:20 pm
3. What are you wearing?
Flannel pants, a t-shirt, a fleece jacket, and animal print panties.
4. Any people or animals around you? Describe them.
One 15 pound miniature poodle. Curly hair, brown eyes.
5. What are your plans for the weekend?
Go to Target, go to the post office, rearrange my bedroom, talk aforementioned dog for a walk.
Found the coolest site today. There’s this guy, Scott, who has worn a name tag for 800 days straight!
Go check out his website and goal of enhancing personal communication.
I especially love his anecdote about how startled a cashier, who was wearing a name tag, was when Scott called him by name. Heh Heh.
Today Winston Belmar (formerly known as Scooter) went to Dog Heaven.
All attempts to change his evil ways failed and he could not be trusted any longer. I literally had to carry something in my hand to defend myself from him.
Still, he was a sweet little being, and I hope in Dog Heaven that any pain he knew here is gone, and that he is frolicking about, happy and peaceful and not biting anyone.
Sometimes you wish you had a man’s arm around you, a shoulder to cry on?
Well, now you can. Thanks to some folks in Japan you can buy just that!
A hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on… awwwwww.
If you want to buy one, you can get it here! IF you understand Japanese.
I think it’s cool. No morning breath, no “job” to do (if ya get my drift)
Heehee
Yes folks, they actually sell a soap that grows hair. Not only that, it is shaped like a kitty cat.
You are supposed to continue to use it up, and inside, you will find a little plastic mousie.
You can go here to check it out, but be prepared for disappointment. They are temporarily out of stock.
Okay, bring on the hairy pussy comments, I know you freakies are out there.
The other day, I found this quote at Zalary’s:
“People imagine that missing a loved one works kind of like missing cigarettes,” he said. “The first day is really hard but the next day is less hard and so forth, easier and easier the longer you go on. But instead it’s like missing water. Every day you notice the person’s absence more.”
I have been waiting for today to repeat it.
One year ago tonight, my mother died.

My friend Jamie told me about this one.
Yay! I am happy! Diane Lane was named Best Actress by the National Society of Film Critics! This was for her role in Unfaithful.
Hottest movie I’ve seen since 9 1/2 Weeks!
I hope she continues on to win a Golden Globe and an Oscar!
If you have not seen her and Viggo in A Walk On the Moon, that is worth a look-see as well. Some of you may know Viggo better as Aragorn!
I am doing some major catching up on my blog reading and I was at Big Pink Cookie where I was reading her feelings about “Inner Circle Syndrome".
I had just been thinking about this, so I feel lucky to have happened upon that entry.
(plus, I was her featured blog that day and I missed it!)

For your tongue! There’s even a “Romance Edition"!

I have a blog I love to visit.
I love it so much I am going to shout it to the world.
This blog is smart, sassy, blue and lots of Bettie Page. I LOVE Bettie Page. I remember being turned on by her before I knew what turned on was.
You can even leave her a Bettie! And play Bumble Jumble!
1. Do you wear any jewelry? What kind?
Earrings always, just gold hoops. My sister says I am stuck in the 70s, bit I waited and the style came back! I LOVE sparkly rings, or jewelry that belonged to my mom, or that my mom gave me.
2. How often do you wear it?
When I feel like I need extra confidence.
3. Do you have any piercings? If so, where?
Yep. One in each ear. I know, I am WILD! If it did not hurt so much, I would probably have a tongue one!
4. Do you have any tattoos? If so, where?
Not yet, but mine is designed, and it will be on my arm like a good biker chick.
5. What are your plans for the weekend?
THIS weekend? Blog to my heart’s content, and rearrange my room.
My dear, “Princess", which is my code name for you here… you know who you are….

I’ve decided to call 2003 “The Year for Me".
I’m tired of feeling rudderless, adrift, as if I am simply being buffeted along in life, with no direction, no passion.
I am not sure when I lost my way, or if I ever even had it, but I know that the way I have been living is not the way I want to continue.
This is an extremely long ramble, so only the brave should click more.

A Montana man who changed his name to Jack Ass in 1997 is suing the people who made the movie “Jackass” saying the show and movie have defamed him. $10 million dollars he wants.

I’ll write more later today when I am less tired and melancholy.
