I Am America’s Punching Bag

at least that’s how it feels today.  I know that everyone has bad moods but why do people feel fine about taking out their moods on everyone else?  Even at my worst, I always try to keep in relatively good humor with other people.  I’m so effing sick of the people close to me feeling that it’s fine to be moody and snappish with me.  Unacceptable.  Anyway, I know I haven’t posted in like a month and this is hardly a happy way to come back (see … me thinking of others AGAIN!) but it’s just on my mind.  My friends Mama Music and Kim always seem to be totally even-keel … I cannot remember even once when they took out a bad mood on me.  Krevasse is always upbeat too.  Maybe the key is that I need to spend more time with people like that and less time with the moody bastards.  I’m so over it.

R.I.P. Dom DeLuise

First Bea Arthur and now Dom … very sad.  2 hysterically funny people gone.  My tribute to Dom … “The French Mistake” from “Blazing Saddles” … one of the funniest movies ever.

“High School Seemed Like Such a Blur … “-Mike Ness

Sooo … here’s the topic upon which I have spent much too much thought today:  do I or do I not go to my high school reunion?  (Obviously, I need more hobbies or perhaps more interesting work.)

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you’ll know that I don’t have the greatest fondness for: Horizon High School and/or Scottsdale, Arizona.  I wasn’t a complete loser in high school or anything but I just never really felt like I fit in with people.  Nor did I really want to fit in with the vast majority.  They appeared to be a bunch of non-thinking, bible-banging followers, for the most part.  O.K., maybe that’s a bit harsh but … hmmm … no, I guess I have to stick with that.  Oh, and super right-wing.  Did I leave that out? 

Anyway, my 20 (gulp!) year reunion is coming up in October.  I did attend my 10 year and had a fun (and very drunken) time.  There are definitely some people I’d like to reconnect with but … for the most part, I feel totally uninterested in reliving that portion of my life.  I guess I’m still emotionally scarred from being told that I was “going to Hell” because I was Jewish or perhaps from being shown hideous pro-Life videos in class.  Or both.  Plus, I’m not sure I could coerce Navy Boy into this shindig nor do I really want him to attend.  I’m thinking it’s a “no.”  I’m over it.  I do have some great friends from h.s. but I talk to those people on a regular basis.  And, like I said, there’s some people I didn’t know that well that I’ve had a chance to get to know better.  But, for the most part, I could give a good goddamn about the rest of my h.s. class.  I don’t have any ill will, just complete apathy.  What do you think?  Suck it up and go or bail?  I may have to give this some more thought but I’m definitely leaning towards “no way, Jose.”

Tattooed Love Boys

Just because … I’ve decided it’s Pretenders tribute day.  This is a great live performance.  R.I.P. Jimmy and Pete.

Not a Post for the Dudes …

I am so menstrual right now that I want to kill myself.  I’ve decided that there is no possible way that I can give birth since I need 2 Vicodin just to deal with cramps.  In a not-unrelated story, I feel completely irritated with my bf.  Yes, he’s flying into Afghanistan everday from a carrier and doing God knows what, but I feel like I’m not getting as much attention as I need.  Just because he’s busy saving the free world doesn’t mean I can be ignored!!!!!  As my friend, Amy pointed out this morning, perhaps it would be better not to pick a fight with him right now on this issue …

Note to Self …

Eating a giant order of chili cheese fries will not help you lose 750 pounds before your bf gets back in August.

FYI-Date Rape Is Not Funny

Apparently the new Seth Rogen movie takes the position that sex crimes are just hilariously “edgy” and perfect for a light-hearted comedy.  Really interesting piece on Jezebel about this that I’m linking to below.  Read it before you see the film … especially if you’re a woman.  And, especially if you’re a woman with any experience with sexual assault.

Billy Bob Thornton-Douchebag Extraordinaire

So this is an interview good ol’ BBT did with a Canadian radio station for this “band”.  It’s a little long but worth watching.  If you want to fast-forward to the middle of the interview, that’s when it gets really good.  Billy Bob is all bent out of shape because the interviewer, who seems like a totally nice dude, has the audacity to introduce him as an “actor.”  Actors are douchebags in general, I think, and actors who want to be musicians are even huger douchebags. 

My New Addiction

Bordeaux chocolate from See’s Candies.  Literally the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted.  I have to say … See’s really kicks Godiva’s ass all over the place.  Plus, they give you a sample everytime you walk in.  I’m in the process of devouring this Bordeaux Easter Egg right now and I’m pretty sure I just had an orgasm.  Since I won’t be having an orgasm that involves another human being until August when my bf gets back from this asinine career path he has insisted upon (not that I’m bitter), this will be as good as it gets.  *sigh*

New No Doubt Song!

Cover of “Stand and Deliver” from my bf, Adam Ant.  I LOVE it!  It’s on E! Online’s home page if you’re looking for it.  But, really?  How can you NOT love Ms. Stefani?  She just screams cool.  Plus, she seems pretty “normal” for being a super-hot, super-famous celeb.  With that hunky husband.  I love her.
