Somebody wants to buy my cow coat!

…and I’m sick again. Started up for the third time this last Sunday and has been stuck with me all week. I’m starting to feel like a 90 year old man on the inside-- and I sound like one on the outside too. I have old-man-with-phenumonia voice. Maybe I just need to gum on some applesauce and wear a pair of short scratchy brown slacks with black socks to make myself feel better.

P.s. I’ve also become very addicted to “Lost” and think that Sun and Jin are the cutest couple ever and that Anna needs to be kicked off the island and that Sayid needs to cut his fingernails and then everyone will live happily ever after.



P.s.s. This is the cutest thing I've seen all day. Granted, I've been sleeping almost all day, but still-- wet kitty.

My 1st e-bay adventure

Please world, buy my cow coat.

Hello dear world of possibly only other sick people because those are the only people in their right minds that would be up at 4am,

Collapsing chests suck. And freezing fevers… those suck too.

I wish I saw this sign more often.

A quick lesson:

A lesson in lame-ass upholstery:

I have the most uncomfortable computer chair in all of pained-ass from bad-computer-chair history. It originally had a little black cover on the seat cushion (cushion in this instance = particle board covered with cloth). Then awhile ago I covered it in some gray and black animal print.




And apparently, at that time, went through a phase of unhealthy attachment to my dad’s staple gun.







After all the staples were out I grabbed half a bag of stuffing and mashed it all onto the seat.




Then the fuzzy blue material got wrapped around it all and I had a chance to STAPLE MORE!



The finished product. Squishy.



My ass is happy just thinking about it.

No eyebrows to been seen here, folks!

My mother used to be a pretty famous ballroom dancer. We’ve got all kinds of big boxes of awards and trophies in the attic. Today I use one of those trophies in the bathroom to hold my toothbrush. But, she doesn’t compete anymore. She still dances like crazy—mostly in our kitchen while steeping over our three dogs-- but she doesn’t compete. So, lately she’s been working on getting rid of her old dresses.

And that’s where I come in…

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet, your model.

Your headless model.



Mum’s afraid that if someone is able to see my head they’ll somehow be able to track me down (by how you may ask, well don’t) and… I don’t’ know… kill me? Steal the dress she’s selling on E-bay? Not sure. But I did discover that it’s apparently taboo in her mind to take a picture of me and put it up online where someone can see my face. Because the close-up boob shoots apparently don’t bother her maternal mind, but good lord, if someone saw my eyebrows!

P.s. For a tax update: the IRS sucks and I'm about two steps away from beating myself senseless with a big roll of 1040 forms.

Dinner tonight: A bucket of shrimp and handful of Tylenol.

Life is still yuck and despair-y and my brain feels like it’s collapsing in on itself, but things are looking up. My manager just gave me his credit card and told me to buy whatever digital camera I want. Yay. Though, to be honest, it’s not for me, it’s for the “hotel”… which is pretty much like it’s just for me! It’s for me to buy with someone else’s money and for me to use… you know… at work.

So, a question to my two and a half readers:

What camera is a good buy at around 200 (or less) dollars?

I’m a canon fan and have my eye on something like this,

If the camera gods were smiling on me tonight they’d hook me up with a camera with a wide angled lens so I could take pictures of the insides of our guest rooms, breakfast, and meeting room areas but I don’t know how common at all that is on a digital.

Suggestions, past experiences and random comments very welcome. I have till Saturday morning to buy.
