Fuck General Motors

2008-06-18T20:09:00.003-04:00

Just watched "Who Killed The Electric Car?"

There is no way I will ever work for GM, buy any of their cars, or support them in any way.

I encourage you to do the same.

Time heals all...

And then it KILLS you.

Crazy Cheap Makeup!!!

2008-05-07T00:03:00.003-04:00

So apparently this rather high end makeup brand elf ("eyes, lips, face") has been bought by Nordstrom or something so pretty much ALL of their items online, usually priced from $5 to $35, are now $1. Yep, ONE DOLLAR.

LaLa.com gives a girl no love

2008-02-02T18:52:00.000-05:00

Color me disappointed in LaLa.com. I was down to roll with the cool kids and tell iTunes to suck my left one but LaLa's nonexistant customer service and a flat out tech failure thwarted my nascent revolutionary ambitions.

How LaLa broke my heart and sent me crawling back to iTunes:
1. That shit REFUSED to sync with my iPod. Multiple tries. Multiple browsers. No sync-y sync-y.
2. I sucked it up and ASKED FOR HELP via an email to their support team. My humility was met with silence. I imagined a room full of entreprenurial hipster technocrats laughing at me. I wilted with shame.

Someone who knows someone (I know you all do, fucking well connected techno-literate freinds of mine) let a mutha at LaLa know to make it right, or risk losing my sweet sweet sonic lovin forever.

Support Sam's Cross Country Ride!

2007-06-05T21:51:00.000-04:00

My wonderful friend Sam departed yesterday on a 4,247.5mile odyssey across the country on bicylce.

In her words: "I am undertaking this mildly insane venture in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and in memory of my dad, who would have loved to have come along for the ride."

80% of donations made to the ride will be given directly to the society, with 20% going towards Sam's expenses (until she hits her expenses cap of $3,500, after which all proceeds go to benefit the charity).

I very much hope that you will consider contributing to her cause.Every little helps!

Please visit her expedition website to contribute (click "ChipIn" on the right):
http://www.exceedinglylongbikeride.com/

Also stay tuned to that site to follow her progress -- she'll be equippedwith GPS, and will be posting updates from the road, photos, maps,etc.

DOGGIE!

2007-05-21T18:41:00.000-04:00

I AM GETTING A DOGGIE!!!!

I will pick him up in Michigan on June 11 and he will arrive in Brooklyn, NYC with me on June 13.

PREPARE FOR THE CUTE. Seizure inducing levels of fucking cuteness people. See:

Oh, yes. Yes yes yes yes yes.

This dog will make you need to shit he is so adorable. I will introduce you to him for the first time near a toilet so you don't poop your pants from all the cuteness.

I will be getting him:
-a sparkly leash and collar
-a doggie bike seat (yes, they make them. booyah!)
-a doggie bed big enough for me AND him cause Matt won't let him on the people furniture so I'll be living on dog furniture from now on.
-doggie videos to play if i have to leave him alone
-a little bone shaped doggie poop bag dispenser
-doggie ice cream for the summer time
-sooooo many toys and stuffed animals

Many of you will be sickened by the above paraphanelia, as well as the cooing noises and squeaks and secret language I will use in communicating with the dog, as well as the pictures I will email about, but I don't care. Because none of YOU are cute enough to make me shit my pants.

Fortune-Cookies die, Fortune-Beers are born

2006-06-06T11:54:00.000-04:00

My dear friend J-Ro turned 30 this weekend and, inspired by her use of clever/cutting phrases in her jewlery, I decided to make her a bunch of subversive fortune cookies as a birthday gift.

My plan was to hand said treats out at ther 30th bday shindig.

My plan was cruelly thwarted by the fact that the recipe I used for fortune cookies was BULLSHIT. Despite desparate variations in temperature, cooking time, and voodoo spells murmured over the dough, the cookies refused to fold up into little shrimps, instead breaking into tasty but fortuneless bits.

Oh well. Fortune cookies aren't really Chinese anyway - they were invented in SanFrancisco in the 1920s. Hippy Bullshit. Fuck 'em.

In the face of this giant adversity, I invented a new, fabulous, treat: Fortune-Beers!

Much more user friendly: simplly fold fortunes and slip them under the tab of a can of beer! Voila - an american invention born in Brooklyn, in 2006!

Here's the fortunes that graced cans of Bud Light at J-ro's 30th:

"Jessie is hotter than you,
even though she’s old now."

"I’ll show you a happy birthday.
Bend over."

"You are in charge of Jessie’s spanking."

"Are you sure you deserve this beer?
(132 calories, fatty)"

"You were obviously a pity invite."

"Even cock teases get birthdays."

"This means Jessie’s parents had sex."

"Jessie wants a unicorn for her birthday.
By unicorn, she means anal."

"No present = no fun touch."

"Jessie is hotter than you,
even though she’s drunk now."

"Nice party dress. NOT!"

"Are you sure you deserve that slice of cake?"

"Who invited you?"

"You will not get laid tonight."

"She loves you not."

"Quit flirting with him, slut!"

"It’s her birthday and she’ll drink
dish soap if she wants to."
(This one's a long story)

"You dirty! You dirty! You dirty!"

"I saw you do that. You’re dirty."

"Someone here wants to teach
you a lesson."

I wish I was shoe shopping...

Because I roll in hearses...

2006-05-31T18:22:00.000-04:00

The other day I rode to the NYC tattoo convention in a hearse. Cause I'm hard like that.

Teresa drove. Some of her crazy friends sat in the back and yelled shit like "your time has come you old fucker!" at perfectly nice respectable senior citizens in Manhattan.

I was half amused (cause I'm hard, as I've mentioned), and half felt bad for the senior citizens (cause unlike the girls yelling out the window I'm older than 19 and can imagine when MY day will come).

All in all it was lovely.

T did my makeup... you like? She's a makeup artist in training and will do your makeup for any event, hearse ride, or whatever: $30 for one 45 minute full face session. You can email her at onegorgon@yahoo.com if you're interested.
