I am in love.

This dude photographs his dinner every night so I can look at it and formulate erotic fantasies while slurfing down my Campbell's Select and toast.

In case you missed it: *why Mormons terrify me*

Holy hell. Go, Payckers, I guess.

Dammit all, people out here are always prodding me about my presumed devotion to the Patriots. People mention "Teddy Brewski" to me like they're doing my secret handshake or some shit. Honestly, I am a nearsighted geeky veteran band fag. All I know about football is that it's cold and miserable and that when fans start cheering it's time to strap on your drum and play "hey" with as much enthusiasm as you can feign.

But out here it's different - people dress their families in matching chambray shirts with the Packers Logo straight-up embroidered on the pockets, and every residence, no matter how elegant, houses Brett Favre memorabilia. Class differences are expressed by the proximity of the Lambeau Field poster to the mantle.

Truly, though, this is the ultimate in rabid fandom.

Here's a first step.

What I like best about this is that Bachrach resists the urge to resort to hysterics, a la Jon Stewart. No swearing, no yelling. Just calm reasoning. This is what we need more of:

She raped Fox News and is now my idol. My only criticism: when the Fox News lady says, "Judy, I didn't really want to argue politics this morning," the best response is something along the lines of, "then you need to seriously rethink the mission statement of Fox News. Besides, as you consistently remind us, this station is committed to being 'fair and balanced.'" [you filthy Republican cum jar]

Poor people make good cannon fodder

I was driving up 151 in the po' side of town to redeem my $10.00 Office Max coupon on a sweet new stapler when I saw a Cousins' Sub Shop and decided to check out the local fast food scene. (Cousins is a new one on me, since we don't have them in the Northeast.) As I waited for my $3.50 7 1/2 inch sub I noticed a little display for the Marines next to the condiments with pictures of newly empowered men of color looking all honorable and in-control-of-their-destiny-like in their be-medaled uniforms. I was of course reminded of the predatory tactics captured by Michael Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11" and had to restrain myself from writing on the back of each business card, "Die for Bush's Imperial Ambitions!" I am working hard at trying to consider the perspectives of people who do things to piss me off, and I'm sure the grunt who made the little setup probably has a comfy desk job and is reminded just how lucky he is to be saved from the ghetto by his superiors, but somewhere along the line, and not that far up, some guy is thinking to himself, "what sort of people are desperate enough to enlist in a time of war?" and decides to prey on the disenfranchised.

Bush hasn't forgotten the blacks and the poor - he needs them.

Love, doggie-style

I am having a truly tragic time of it lately, getting-laid-wise. It is as if my stock suddenly bottomed out, like as if they invented a new me for half the price per share and with a nicer ass. Anyway, my quest for a decent lay has led me to some shady places, I'm afraid, like the attorney down the hall who races his BMW on weekends. Um....awesome. I guess. I actually told him that my stock was selling low and that I was a 'unique investment opportunity.' And apparently he decided to fuck one of our recently-divorced clients instead. It goes without saying that this is a mindblowing inversion of all I know to be true, i.e., I am infinitely more fuckable than a divorced mother-of-two whose husband left for the (male) cashier at the PDQ, but it pains me nonetheless, once I get over the Dr. Who-ness of it all. So I was half crying on the way home, and when I stepped inside my beautiful condo and looked at the O-Man, my Pembroke Welsh Corgi, all lookin' at me like this was the greatest moment of his life, I broke down and wailed. I figure that ours is the kind of love which can only end in a murder-suicide, but I have to say, ladies, the Big O is the best love money can buy. Later we went to PetsMart, him all sittin' in my lap with his front paws on the wheel, rockin' out to the Buzzcocks. Shit, life ain't so bad.

Here is a classic from Summer '04

Drunken hippies are a blight on my new dog park.
Okay, drunken hippies. Your dogs are all named after Phish songs and you smell like boxes of wine. I get it, you are hippies. Also your dogs are not neutered because that's a social convention or whatever. So what's with the goddamn cellphones, you smelly assholes? This bearded stinky dude was on his cellie the whole time, all like, "Listen, Willow, It's over. Just get your shit out of the van and give me back my bowl." I'm not some sort of authority on hippie lifestyle or anything, but if soap is unnatural, isn't cellular technology?I am so fucking old.

Please someone make me one of these...

That monkey had a rough night.

Lost in the Supermarket

Today was a retail day, hallelujah. I have a new throw and a new favorite perfume, although I suspect the guys up here, with their thick accents and household furnishings purchased with Marlboro Miles, might just prefer something more on the order of Britney Spears' "Curious."

In any event I stopped by our shitty local grocer (where the rack for impulse buys offers nothing but pregnancy tests [kind reader, I shit you not]) to stock up on some Newcastle and nibbly things. I noticed a man I recognized but couldn't place in Aisle 2. As I lamented the impossibility of getting decent chevre in a state which fancies itself the cheese capital of the universe, I placed his face. Actually there's a photo of him on the condo bulletin board; he's a sexual predator who has just relocated to my 'hood. Super.
