10:08 PM|oh yeah... it's will ferrell's last night on SNL... what a major loss for the show... we're left without a fake president. he is such a talented guy...dagnabit.

9:38 PM|damn you trading spaces... and damn you Home Depot... and most of all damn me for not going to the food festival and instead being bored and getting a bee in my bonnet...(click for larger view of the "project" i have now gotten myself into...

started this fiasco at 3:30pm




finished stripping (the bathroom and hall) at 9:18pm... finally


and now i don't know what color to paint it. (that wallpaper was up prior to my moving in 5 years ago)

i also stripped the hallway... didn't feel like posting pics...


and damn the 4 cups of coffee i had today.

11:40 AM|i am addicted to Trading Spaces.... this show is such a tease for me since i rent and can't really do anything with my apartment... arrrgh.

i am supposed to meet cathy for the food festival. it's cold and rotten out right now. arrrgh squared.

12:55 AM|eh.... bit tipsy. out with work folk. good kids. fun. tired now, bed

10:49 AM|tired. i think it's the weather and allergies combo that is doing me in.

i am swamped here at work. yet... i am on this thing. ever look at a design so long that it starts to NOT make sense to you and now when you try to rearrange said design, it just becomes one big pile of slop? well.... that's what is happening to me as i redesign the company website. supposed to have an outside vendor work on this as i tend to the inTRAnet, but they haven't hit the nail on the head with what we want, so i am taking a second stab at it. and am ready to stab other things...

my eyes are bleary and it's only 10:45am

anyway, randomoddness wrote and suggested i update my amazon wish list since my birthday is coming up. so i did.

BUT... if ANYONE even has an inkling of buying me something, thank you first off, but if you do, i implore you to go to http://www.save-the-girls.com instead and give $10, $25, $50, $100 or whatever you wish... think of the boobies across the land. if there were none, there wouldn't be a hoopty rack browser... there wouldn't be Juggs Magazine, there wouldn't be a happy hepatitis riddled Pamela Anderson Lee Rock....

so, since my birthday is coming up (yeah, june 21st, but i was reminded of it by randomoddness) i figured i would take this time for a boobie service announcement...

so, make a girl and her girls happy and donate!!!! thanks!!!!


right now, to meet the minimum of $1900, i need $965 in donations... so if 50 people kicked in $20, there ya' go... if 96 people kicked in $10, that would be swellegant... and if 9 people kicked in $100, that would be effing wonderful... if you can spare only $5.00, donate... if you can spare $500.00, donate!!!!!!!

no one likes to see a sad brassiere...

just think... guys.... there wouldn't be any of those soft porn Victoria's Secret catalogs coming to your house each month....

DO SOMETHING!

12:04 AM|hmmmm...dare i enter the realm where i could possibly frighten EVERYONE that views my site???

iREZ KritterUSB

(i have to look into those compatible with imacs... for that is what i have - Mac os 8.6)

7:49 PM|oh yeah, it's my old horse Poco's 28th birthday today.... happy birthday, buddy.... wherever you are....

(he was the first horse i bought on my own. cashed in all my savings bonds to buy him.... a bay quarterhorse gelding... as it turns out, when i tested him out prior to buying, they had drugged him... and when i got him home, he was psychotic, but over the next 3 years we began to bond, but i had a few other horses by that point... yes. i was a spoiled brat. wanna make somethin' of it!?)

7:39 PM|so i got a letter in the mail asking me to join D.A.R. (the Daughters of the American Revolution)

i think it's just good enough knowing that i could get in (many in my family are members of it....) and i could get in on both sides of my family, but dad's side is the killer lineage side, what with Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen in there...

mom is dead set against DAR... says they are like a cult that is extremely anti-catholic.

whatever.

odds are, not gonna join. not exactly a prissy anti-catholic chick. and god knows that if they even found out about my blog they would swoon and shake their glove-laden hands in fists of rage (feminine rage, but rage nonetheless)

2:24 PM|THIS totally made my day (and by posting this blurb from glossy blog i am in no way mocking her. i am actually giddy with delight and thinking "one can only hope...." and also wanting to thank her for posting to my guestbook... thanks!)

"And finally, I made a pit stop at gigglechick. I think she's famous so I didn't dare leave a comment. I signed her guestbook though, but that doesn't count because I did it before I found out she's famous."


turns out she found out i was famous before i found out :)

and ANYONE, please... feel free to post comments!!!

10:18 AM|if anyone is going to the HOW conference (wish i were) go see Dave Fletcher speak... his lecture is "Good Examples Of Bad Design: A Journey Through Creative Expression From the Ridiculous To the Sublime"

he was my creative director at methodfive (R.I.P.) and is a kick ass designer and all around guy...now has the mechanism

7:40 PM|am still at work... but am taking a break... and i happened upon THIS site via mischiefgurl

go now and watch the "Attention All Tappers" short that fred armisen is in

heh... makes me wanna slap some tap shoes on and bring in the funk... not the noise so much though.

12:47 AM|

05.15.01... "fail often to succeed sooner... "

it's official... my gigglechick blog is a year old today...

i have been addicted for an entire year. crazy. if a friend of mine that i used to work with hadn't said to me that day "hey... i like your blog rants" (meaning these) i never would have looked up the word "Blog" on google...

i never would have stumbled onto blogger.com

and i most definitely would never have met so many keen and kick ass folks like i have met over the past 12 months.

thanks for spending a moment of your day here... c'mon back now, ya' hear?!

5:30 PM|

.

4:36 PM|heh... saw this link on Billegible:

Budweiser ad: "Today we salute you, Mr. horse-drawn carriage driver."

here's the skinny... 1991 the summer of... i was living in philly and i actually drove the horse drawn carriages dressed as Betsy Ross. it was a fun job... unfortunately they really wanted you to screw people over with the cash (especially old women) and the other drivers always were high on The Pot... (i am allergic to it if anyone is taking notes)

but other than the fact that i had to look AND behave as if i was a cast member in Oliver, and the fact that junkies were in control of an animal that weighs a ton... i got to drive horses throughout the city of brotherly love, and get paid for it...

7:26 AM|so i finally broke down at 1am last night and cleaned my bed off... slept in it... too well... kept hitting snooze...

wound up watching the earthquake at the sharks game last night.

am thinking of stripping the wallpaper from my little hallway and also the bathroom & start painting (although the bathroom tiles on the wall still need to be repaired - not by me - since may 16th, 1998 the wall buckled and about 20 tiles fell off of it. my landlord hasn't gotten around to fixing them yet. i have asked.

but i am waiting to ask again... i am still trying to catch up with rent... am behind april and may rent... so i am not really complaining since my landlord is pretty understanding about the finances and such

10:18 PM|darn. kerry can't make it this weekend. is scheduled to work on saturday.... ah that's okay... gonna hang with cathy, so that's totally fine by me!

7:38 AM|hey all! welcome to monday.
just peeled myself outta bed... wait... no... not bed... i have been sleeping on my couch for the past 2 weeks or so... i really HAVE to clear all the clothes (clean) off my bed so i can sleep normally (although, i HAVE had the best, deepest sleep on that couch) have to get my house in gear.... been so busy at work and then was down at mom's this weekend (don't ask how mother's day went. no comment.) so i haven't had a chance to neaten this place up and kerry is supposed to come up this weekend... this weekend is the 9th avenue food festival...yum!
