I must say that I did like him quite a bit better when he seemed like a nice guy with a CRAZY stage personality. Kevin Fergueson was arrested in May 2002, and I can hardly hold it against him, but it makes me wonder where Kimbo Slice ends and his real personality begins…

On Friday the 20th, at Banner Promotions: Night of Combat in Las Vegas, Kim Couture had her lovely face destroyed. Losing unanimously 30-27 all, Kim Rose broke Couture’s jaw. Sorry pretty lady… I’d been rooting for ya, but even with Randy in your corner, things didn’t go so well. Pushing herself through it for all three rounds, Kim Couture has a lot of heart, but Rose went on to prove she was the better fighter, breaking Couture’s nose.

For her birthday this year, all my 16-year old sister wanted was a pair of Birkenstocks. I can remember years and years of Ginny and my Mum and MaryJo wearing those stupid sandals exclusively. In the summer, they let the air in, and in the winter -paired with wool socks- they did OK for running around the house chasing kids.
Virginia and I MADE FUN OF THEM. “What the hell are those! You guys are granolas! God, don’t wear those with socks! You are not wearing those to my school…“
And now.. my sister, who is bigger than me, and able to beat me up… is wearing hippie sandals. With socks.
I’m beginning to wonder if I can get away with wearing them in my office… If the socks match and don’t have any holes in them, does it count as business-casual? My birthday is coming up in August, and my mum has offered to buy me a pair… I think I’m turning into an old lady. Long gone are the days of choosing footwear based on its fashion-appeal, and here come the days of “I am NOT wearing heels ALL DAY just so people don’t look at me weird!”
Fuck, at least they’re not crocs…
She’s going to be pissed off that I posted this, but at least her name’s not attached to this lovely little poem I received in my email today… Thanks Mum!
Birkenstock, Birkenstock, where have you been?
I’ve been hanging at Pride Week, I’m really a Queen
Birkenstock, Birkenstock, what did you there?
I checked out the armpits and counted the hair!
Birkenstock Birkenstock, what have you won?
Admiration of lesbians, dykes and some nuns!
love, your mum xoxoxox
Like the title says… my camera is busted.
Like the last post, let’s look at pretty things. Sorry Jimmy, at least it didn’t mess you up, just the pathway. This photo is like a million weeks old, but I’ve been waiting to post it until a day when I was actually mad about the stupid camera.
what a goddamn piece of shit day today is!
So let’s look at pretty things! I bought these for my sister. They are pretty.
Having never read any of his novels or essays, I can only hope that Gore Vidal’s writing is as raw as his answers to a reporter in today’s New York Times. Even the way he closes the interview is perfect. What a crotchety old man. The problem with old men is that they aren’t usually very smart. Here’s the exception: this one could talk your ear off, undermine your morals, question your entire existence – quite possibly ruining your entire year – and thinking nothing of it, go out for dinner.
Q: At the age of 82, you will be publishing your new collection of essays this week, which seems likely to confirm your reputation as one of America’s last public intellectuals. Why do you think that critics have traditionally praised your essays more than your fiction, which includes “Burr,” “Myra Breckinridge” and 20 other novels? That’s because they don’t know how to read. I can’t name three first-rate literary critics in the United States . I’m told there are a few hidden away at universities, but they don’t print them in The New York Times .
Are you saying your novels have been critically neglected? I don’t even read most reviews, unless there is a potential lawsuit on view. I’ve never had much attention paid by critics — nor has anybody else in the United States of America, as Mr. Obama likes to call it.
And what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?
Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. That’s what he tells us.
How do astronauts go to the bathroom when they’re in space? It’s not a question I’d ever thought of before, though apparently grade-school kids have not only thought of it, they’ve asked an astronaut.
If you were ever interested to see how much radiation your cell phone outputs, I’ve found a list.
The ten highest radiation cell phones as compared to the ten lowest radiation cell phones.
The Motorola Motorola V195s is the highest of all phones in the US, topping out with a 1.6 SAR level, while the Motorola Razr2 V8 has only a 0.36 rating. In Canada and the states, in order for the FCC to allow a phone to come to market, the rating must be less than 1.6 watts per kilogram, while in Europe, they allow for 2 w/kg.
My Nokia 3220 has a relatively low rating of 0.57, but I don’t really think it makes a hell of alot of difference from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Years ago -and for years- I went to a doctor who went on and on about televisions were making people ill, and when he found out that how much time I spent in front of a computer he admonished me as if I was six years old and had dipped the dog in a can of paint. Having not seen him in years, I can only wonder what he would have to say about me working in extremely close proximity to several servers. I knew when I was 12 not to tell him that I worked for my Dad sometimes, making photocopies for 6 hours at a time, or printing tshirts and ending up with what I knew to be teflon poisoning.
I wonder if he has a cell phone.
