Being called 2 hours before a shift going "Oh, by the way... did anyone call you to tell you that we switched your Saturday for tonite? Can you make it in?" with the tone of voice that if you CAN'T make it in, you're in big trouble... is just bullshit.
Why don't I quit? The couple hundred extra each month is really nice to have, and I'm terrified of the economy. Shawn's company is shutting down in a few months and what if he can't find work? What if we end up with nothing left? |

"This is a first for us. We are new to this kind of thing,” said Sara Hartley, Public Works spokesperson.
Hartley says whoever did this cut the locks to the computer system and hacked in.
"While the content of what it was changed to was amusing to a lot of people we want to make sure that people understand it's a public safety hazard," said Hartley.
BEST. THING. EVER. |

*caution - extreme nerd moment*
My World of Warcraft Death Knight is about the coolest thing EVER. I'm all "Hey Lich King, what's going down?" and he's all like "UR HOT, Go kill some stuff IN MAH EPIC NAME!"
So I do.
And then he's all "GO KILL PEEPS AT A CHURCH!" and I'm like "Your wish is my command, for your epicness is too much to deny!" and then this paladin at the church is like "I WTF OWN YOU!" and the Lich King is like "DAMN! WHY IS THIS CHURCH ON HOLY GROUND?!" and runs away. So much for his unspeakable epicness.
So then the Paladin is like "O HAI, I know you're undead scourge and all, but you should totally serve the light and go back to the Alliance" and so I'm all "O... K."
So then I teleport to OMG STORMWIND CITEH with a message for the king, and the guards are like "I PH33R YOUR EPIC, SO I SPIT ON YOU AND THROW THINGS AT YOU!" and I'm all "OIC.", then I get to the king and he's all "I KILL YOU! What's this? A letter from a Paladin in a small church somewhere on holy ground?! I TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT!" and then BAM! A zillion faction increase with Stormwind, the king is all like "Hold up guys, stop spitting on her, she's kinda hot." and badda bing, I R ALLIANCE!!!

| | 21st Century Cure - Repo Soundtrack | ] |
BUT I have a project and I need your help, loves.
Repo! The Genetic Opera. My god, what an incredible movie. We need help getting the word out!
The soundtrack will be available on September 30th... it's fucking incredible. If you want to listen to it before committing to buying, you can hear a sampler - CLICK HERE :)
So you love it? I knew you would. Pre-order it here!
Now a few words about the cast:
First and foremost, I know Paris Hilton may be a turnoff to a lot of you. I've learned a LOT about her in the last couple of weeks, the first bit being that my god... she actually does have a bit of talent! The next is that she's been working very hard to promote Repo - she's throwing a great party for the soundtrack release in LA... and Bill Moseley and Darren Bousman and Terrance Zdunich all swore that she was really fun to work with. Darren even told me a story about standing behind a building having a cigarette during filming, and she came out to talk to him... and you know some paparazzi came through... then the next day on TMZ there was a big fuss about Paris smoking pot.
It all makes me wonder how much I've seen about her is actually true.
Terrance Zdunich as Graverobber... holy COW. Terrance steals every scene he's in... Graverobber is almost the narrator, appearing in the plot where he needs to. Not only that, but he composed the whole thing and has an INCREDIBLE voice. And you know... he's so nice to look at.
I don't think I need to tell you that Anthony Head as Nathan Wallace / Repo Man was fucking wonderful... but just in case... HE WAS FUCKING WONDERFUL.
And the last closing deal about the cast for me (because everyone else was good, and this is the only other one besides Paris I had my doubts about initially), Alexa Vega of Spy Kids fame. Terrance sought her out while she was singing in Hairspray on Broadway. Just from the clips I wasn't too impressed with her, but when I saw the movie as a whole, she was really really good. She even got to share a scene with Joan Jett!!!
Everyone, do me a favor and have a look, tell your friends... the more albums we sell, the bigger release this thing will get. It'll likely go to the Drafthouse in Austin, but we still don't know for sure yet. I think it's scheduled to release in five cities right now. Lionsgate doesn't understand how wrong they are, but they will!
Check out the website, register on the forums, join the Repo Army!!! There are clips from the movie to check out (I suggest starting with Zydrate Anatomy!)

Mucho love darlings!

Because it basically didn't exist for me.
I have this fear, this suffocating, all consuming fear of the dentist. Literally, not metaphorically. I'd been biting the bullet and going the last couple of weeks to get my teeth cleaned and have this utterly terrifying deep gum cleaning thing... and I had a couple of cavities they needed to fill.
*sigh*
So, they call in a prescription for... fucking... I think it was Lorazepam. I took two the nite before, two the morning of and by the time I got there... I felt like I'd had three bottles of wine. So they put me in a comfy chair, give me a blanket, turn on soothing music, give me some form of disgusting red cocktail drink... the next thing I know Shawn's helping me out of the chair... we're walking towards the elevator and I'm like "Hold on, I have to pee."
I go into the lady's room, lock the stall and realize my bra straps are falling down. Instead of not caring, like I usually would, since I was going home anyways, I strip off my shirt adjust my bra straps, put my shirt back on, pee, and then stand there waiting on the hot water from the tap to wash my hands from.
I got home at about 12:30 p.m. and Shawn said "Oh look honey! I think your soap opera is still on. You can lay down and watch it and I'll go get your prescription," and apparently at some point on the drive home I'd given him money for it, I don't remember that. So I lie down on the couch and go to sleep, and Shawn gets home and takes me up to bed.
I wake up at about five p.m. FREAKING OUT because I thought I'd missed my dentist appointment.
So I spent the rest of the day lolling around, trying to remember if I'd eaten anything and watching Absolutely Fabulous on dvd.
Yesterday fucking ruled. |

I was having such a wonderful time with myself.
I finally feel like I'm on the right path (so to speak). I'm starting up with my small business, I'm donating a percentage of all my sales to SOS Children's Villages, I'm helping to promote Toms Shoes wherever I can, and I was so very inspired over the last few weeks I feel like my heart will burst.
I had a wonderful time at the concert this weekend... and Zac Hanson is the sweetest person ALIVE. He is genuine, and kind and funny and I just adore him. He loves his fans, he gave me his full attention and made me feel like what I was saying was very important to him. He petted our dogs, told off a driver who yelled at us, and took pictures with everyone who asked. I like him SO much.
So I called my mom, because I wanted to share my inspiring weekend and my big plans with her... and she simply did not care. I could hardly get her attention away from her TV. I should have known better than to invest any kind of emotional stock in a conversation with her. I'm really tired of letting her let me down over and over.
Is what I'm doing incredibly ridiculous? Worth no pride from my mother? I just want to leave a mark on the world, and I want to make a difference to someone, and I want my mom to be proud of me. Her complete indifference is very very painful. |

Does anyone else feel like work is strangling the creativity right out of you?
I work my ass off all day long and by the time I get home I hardly have any energy for the things I want to do... sewing, Rocky stuff, etc.
Why do so many of us work so hard? For what? My job doesn't matter... it's just a place I go for nine hours a day, where I work, get angry, and laugh a little.
Who can really tell the difference between red and ruby red neon glass anyway? |
