I am exhausted
I've been working pretty much non stop since early yesterday morning, and I think I'm close to being finished. I'm tired...However, I still have enough energy for a quiz :)

One of the most fucking brilliant things I’ve read in a long time…
You must go here and read this right now."Christmas isn't fucking Christian. Ok, now we're talking.
That's right, that Yuletide cheer you're spreading? What exactly do you think Yule is? It's the fucking Pagan celebration of solstice. And those "Christmas" traditions? They're not just like Pagan rituals, they fucking are Pagan rituals. Way before your Jesus got all magical with the bread and fishes, the Romans were celebrating the birth of Mithra on . . . guess? Go on - guess. December fucking twenty fifth. What a weird coincidence. Practically the whole thing is ripped off from the fucking Druids and the Romans. Twelve days? Check. Exchanging gifts? Check. Mistletoe? Check. And you'd better fucking believe that those decorated trees that Gibson and Co. are so bent out of shape over are as Pagan as the Rune and Crystal Shack at Pentagramfest 2005. You might as well be building miniature fucking Stonehenges in your den."

Carry on Santa, It’s Christmas Day, All is Secure.
I think I've mentioned a few times before my general distaste for the Christmas Shoes song. Instead of reminding me of what christmas is all about, it drives me fucking nuts. Look kid, when Mama meets Jesus, he ain't gonna look at her feet - kay?Anyway, much to my amazement, I heard on the radio a song that is by far much more annoying and unbelievable than the christmas shoes song, A soldier's silent night. I can't begin to tell you the 8 gajillion things wrong with this song. Don't get me wrong, I'm so thankful for the sacrifice that American soldiers have made. Like I've said before, I sure as hell wouldn't want to go to war, kill people, etc, so thanks for that. But this song doesn't really say much about christmas but more about everything that is wrong with America. Ughhh, I can't think about it anymore, it pisses me off too much.

“It sounded like a car crash, but bigger because it was a plane.”
So we got a little snow - Midway got about 8" yesterday afternoon. Lovely weather, almost no visibility, 13-18mph tailwinds... LET'S LAND SOME PLANES! It'll be ok, no seriously - we can do this.12.09.05 8:05am(3 comments)
Plus Size Outerwear Consipiracy
I would just like to further comment on the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF PROPER WINTER ATTIRE FOR FAT CHICKS. I understand that you may believe that since I have an extra layer or two of fat that I wouldn't need a parka, long jacket, or in fact anything to keep me warm during the cold winter months. WELL I DO!It is completely infuriating that all of the plus size outerwear is too short, not warm enough, or made for an old woman. No, I don't want a fancy collar, I just want to not freeze to death. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?! NO! I want a coat to cover my legs sufficiently so that when I'm walking to the train, they don't go numb. I'd also like something that doesn't make me look like I'm 80 or a marshmallow. Although, marshmallow would be acceptable if the jacket were to actually keep me warm. I'm getting desperate here.
Make me a goddamn parka that goes down to my ankles and doesn't cost $500. I'll take it in black, but there are bonus points for pink. Hurry - I'm freezing my ass off here.
k. thx. bye.

Because the last thing I need is a bunch of horny robots, runnin’ around, trippin over shit
Yes, I'll blog about Julie's visit last weekend, but there's a lot to say and I just want to do a quick post right now. Anyway, If you can tell me where the title quote is from, you get bonus points.A few things:
1. Hello Kitty Fender Guitar - It's a girl's dream come true! I almost lost my mind when I saw this, especially in conjunction with Target's $15.00 sale of various hello kitty household items. Who doesn't need a hello kitty toaster or waffle maker?
2. Wendy McClure of poundy.com, and "I'm not the new me" fame will be at Lincoln Square's Book Cellar to sign and wrap (with paper, not like "yeah yeah") her book. Now, being that I'm a big fan of poundy, the ww recipe cards, the book, and living a mere few blocks away from book cellar, which combines the best of books and wine - HOW COULD I PASS THIS UP? Oh, I can't. I'm totally going. The dillemma exists - should I give this to myself for xmas, wrapped and all? Oh hell, why not?
3. It's "a" degree outside. Yes, 1 degree fahrenheit. What. The. Fuck. No amount of my fatass can counter the effects of this weather - just think how Tom is doing? It's becoming clear to me that I need a new coat. Unfortunately, my awesome pink wool coat is not going to cut it. If you know of any places that sell plus-sized, ankle length, certified for 40 below weather parkas, I would certainly love to know. At least I have any number of scarves and hats to keep me warm....
