Not dead! Busy!

Dudes and dudettes, do not fear! Skanky Hooker isn't dying THAT easily. I'm just busy because we're in the last week before the election/my city imploding, and I have a lot of stuff to do/people to have in-case-we-don't-survive sex with!

Last weekend was spectacularly awesome, and I'm excited to blag about it, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow, my last day off until CRAZY happens. So stayed tuned tomorrow. ;)

Plugged In - A Rant Of Sorts - By Kymba

Dudes, there is way too much pressure to be informed in this hyper-speed uber-technological society. There's so much fucking random information coming at us all times of the day. And if you're not on top of each and every underground artist's song, or every youtube parody of Beyonce, or every food someone has wrapped in bacon and deep-fried to put pictures of on the internet, people are kinda rude. Well, not "rude", but a "yeah, i saw that already [so you must be an idiot for not knowing about it]" attitude. I mean, they're probably just giving it so the time when they aren't the first person on top of the latest bacon-drenched monstrosity they'll have some buffer of coolness.

But I say FUCK IT. I'm sick of feeling like myself and others are drowning in this pressure to stay on top of all the latest headlines and the newest crazy skyscraper/33-story Baskin-Robbins Dubai has plans to build (dude, that place is both amazing and insane). Because there's no fucking way to keep on top of all this bullshit. And if someone tells me about something I've already seen (by some insanity, since I'm not good at keeping informed about every entry that pops up on cuteoverload or collegehumor), I'll just say "HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME". Because bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks are STILL AWESOME, even if I've already seen them.

Thank goodness I'm a vegetarian.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude...

Not buying this shirt for Mickey is one of my biggest regrets.

P.S. I know it's kinda dumb, but I am deliriously tired and found this just hilarious: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/571110/what_smoking_leaves_in_your_lungs/

Smartassery has a special place in my heart.

Tomorrow is Book Club, and I'm not even a third finished with this book. It's shameful, really. Also, I'm enjoying it so far, and thought I would make enough time to just get the thing read. Blargh. Ah, well.

Work was insane last week. The weekdays consisted of no less than 10 hours/day of work or work-related activities. For instance, there was a candidate forum by the Women League of Voters in which the other team, under allegations of pay-to-play politics, etc, refused to show up and then blamed the WLV for not giving them enough time to prepare...even though the request to use certain city space for the event was brought to the attention of the administration (certain individuals of their team are incumbents, including the mayoral candidate) five weeks ago. Also, the deadline for applying to be in the informational packet the WLV puts out for free to the community was accompanied with the offer to be in the debate, and they got their biographies in on time for that, go figure!

But that's all I'm going to say about work. Last week was both fun and stressful. Saturday was fun and rewarding for everyone, but today was kind of ugly. I'm not not worried. Also, part of me wants to ditch Tuesday, since it's supposed to be 69! I would screenprint shirts, make churros with Erika (who is also ditching work in my mind), and go picnic by the lake and crochet...

I think I've lost it, too.

Because sometimes you realize how blessed you are and how ridiculous life can be (in the good way!):

Today my boss either lost it or what just really craving sugar, but when we went to pick up print-outs from Staples, she stopped to pick up jelly beans, animal crackers, and ice cream sundaes for us on the way back...if that's not an amazing day, I don't know what is.

P.S. I can't stop laughing...working 12-13 hour days is taking its toll...

To A Cool Fella.

Happy Would've Been Birthday, Dad.
