Dress Up



So I found out yesterday that trying to put your cat into a Halloween costume is probably not the smartest thing ever (the gayest thing ever, yes. . .smartest no). My hands look like a crack whore's after fighting with her pimp. It made for some interesting times carving pumpkins and getting all that pumpkin juice soaking up into them (ow!).
p.s.
The frog pumpkin is mine, the tree is C-Fresh's, the witch belongs to Dungeon Mistress, and the faces are A-Bomb's and his new beau's.

Writing Skills Not Needed


No, this isn't a NaNoWriMo post but a WTF post. I was at Blogactive and saw a letter posted from an intern with Concerned Women for America. Apparently Ronald Reagan is so beloved that it isn't necessary to spell his name right. I'm so glad she got to see "the effects of organized, intelligent, God fearing women," but come on! Spell the name of your figurehead right at least.

LOL Jocks


Okay, I'll admit that the LOL Cats are kind of cute but the LOL jocks make me really laugh for some reason. I don't get a few of the references (who knew?) but the idea makes me chuckle. . .

Why pick just one?

NaNoWriMo


I am so excited for this year's NaNoWriMo. This will be the first year that I am actually stepping out of my comfort zone and going to a meeting of other insane NaNoWriMoers. I may even, gasp, attend a write in. . .possibly even host one if I can convince C-Fresh that we are not all insane word counters. I have a good base story and I'm only going to do the roughest of outlines and character sketches. I need to know where the story is going (i.e. how it ends) so I don't get too lost along the way but other than that I'm just gonna let it flow on out of me.

Orphan Feast


You just gotta love the sick minds at Adult Swim. I love their online games. . .nice fun time wasters such as Orphan Feast. Take one satirical essay by Jonathan Swift and pop it into the hands of the Adult Swim people and you have one twisted game. Just watch out for the fat prostitute. . .
For a good game to get out those latent aggressions from work check out the first person shooter Candyland Massacre.

Dumbledore Is WHAT?

I'm sure by now everyone has heard the Dumbledore is gay. While I applaud J.K. for her back story and her willingness to buck the norm I still have to shudder because all I can do is picture Richard Harris trying to lure kids to his office with chocolate frogs. . .shudder. . .yuck.

Gotta love a man willing to get down and dirty. What an interesting bio he has too.

Enjoy Em While You Gots Em


Today is the big day! Today is the day when our rescue kitty gets neutered. I am a bit freaked out by this because the vet is coming to my house to do this. Every other time my parents just dropped the cat off at the vet and then two days later I had a more lovable version of my kitty back home. This whole castration at home just gives me the willies thinking about it. . .

NaNoWriMo Preparation


If you are getting your thoughts and your fingers ready to type out that 50,000 word masterpiece next month I recommend checking out Human Espresso for the Desktop Wallpaper Word Count Calendar (and those of you who have done this before know that it deserves capitals). This is going to make life so much easier than trying to get the calculator going while not ruining my flow.

NaNoWriMo

I was trying to explain to one of the girls at work why I was doing NaNoWriMo. She just couldn't quite grasp the idea of why I would want to write 50,000 words in a month. I couldn't quite explain it to her then I came across an entry at on of D.'s friend's blogs that said
"A famous Rabbi once wrote--there are three things in life that are of the greatest importance...and if you can accomplish only one of the three you'll be in good standing with the universe. If you can accomplish more--all the better."

1: Have a child
2: Plant a tree
3: Write a book


Well, no kids for me and I can't plant a tree in rented property so number three sounds good to me. Even though my first 50,000 word experiment didn't pan out so well (it was okay, but definitely uneditable) who cares? It is the experience of doing it that counts and who knows what may come out of me this year.




Oh Uganda

I was just reading over at Kenneth's blog about the Muslim Cleric in Uganda who wants to plop all the Homos on an island and let them stay there til they day. He believes that that will be the end of Homos in Uganda. Okay dumb ass did nobody tell you that as long as you keep breeding babies you'll keep breeding homos? Why don't you go castrate yourself then you'll be 100% sure that you'll have no more homo babies. Here is a better idea. Castrate all your followers too. Second all they have to do is either A) swim to one of the other three counties bordering the lake (I know it is kinda far but hey! we homos are survivors) or they could build a raft. Those are some big Islands out there.
It is kind of scary that such a rabid freak has the ears of the President of that country. It is such a shame when a country gets hijacked by religious extremeists and. . .wait. . .um. . .which country was I talking about again?

Dead Boyz Don't Scream

C-Fresh just sent me a link to a horror movie that even I could watch. How can you not love a movie called Dead Boyz Don't Scream? You have got to watch the trailer to hear great hooks such as "featuring top models from the pages of Playgirl and Men's Fitness" and "and lesbians with guns" or "because male models should be seen. . . and not heard".

Future Ex Husband Friday




This week's future ex husband is Lee Pace from my favorite show of the fall season Pushing Daisies. He has that certain something that draws you in. I'm not sure if it is his seductive voice or the innocence in his facial expressions but he is such a freaking cutie!

WTF?

Found over at Passive Aggressive Notes





Happy Coming Out Day

Um, in case ya'll haven't noticed I am gay. . .just to let you know. I wonder if this is the day that the Republican Party opens its stall doors to come out into the open?





NoNoWriMo Columbus

Is anybody else in Columbus participating in the NaNoWriMo this year? How about you Gumby? Are you going for it again? Well, if anybody is doing it and knows of a group getting together occasionally to write or wants to start one or whatever then let me know at my NaNoWriMo author page




Finally!

It is FINALLY below 90 degrees here in Columbus. WTF? It has been at least 85 degrees and humid as all hell through the beginning of October? Crap, I don't mind a balmy 72 but when it stays in the brain frying nineties I just want to scream. I'm hoping the weather starts to fall into a more normal pattern now. . .




Couturo-Scope


I found these interesting Couturo-Scopes over at Joe To Hell. . .
Capricorn
One look in your closet reveals organized rows of perfectly pressed tops and pants and neatly piled stacks of sweaters and t-shirts. And knowing you, the whole lot may even be organized by color or alphabetically by designer. Autumn is the time for you to make sure there's nothing in there that's out of season (light whites and sandals can probably head to storage), and if you have room for something new, why not buy yet another set of sensible undergarments?

Hmm. . . that does not sound like me at all. I wonder if there is a latent sloppy Capricorn gene somewhere in me that refuses to put clothes away after they are washed? C-Freshes seems to be right on though

Aries
Rams are the quintessential fashion pioneers, which means you're not afraid to experiment with interesting styles, colors, and fabrics. This Fall, you're sure to be a fashion original, strutting your stuff for all the world to see. For color, go with bold animal prints in black on red, and for fabric, anything with an outrageous touchable texture gets your nod of approval.

27 Dresses

I so can't wait for 27 Dresses! First of all my hottie pants James Marsden is in it (James, why haven't you called yet?) and second I adore stupid chick flick romantic comedies. C-Fresh actually sent me the link (maybe he is feeling a little bridesmaid never the bride with all the wedding talk Dungeon Mistress is tossing around) so at least I know he'll go with me!

Doesn't It Seem. . .


. . .like every time you switch on the news ANOTHER Republican man is after some cock? Can we say serious repression going on here? WTF??????

MMMM. . .Dinner

I just made some of the yummiest black bean and corn salad for dinner but I am so excited about the dessert. C-Fresh and I were at the grocery store and saw a recipe for Triple Layer Pumpkin Spice Pie and I couldn't wait to make it. I just put it in the fridge to chill and I can barely keep myself from throwing my face in the pie tin it smells so good. I actually got the recipe off of the Jello display at the grocery store but here it is in case you can't find the recipe at your grocery store

Ingredients:
2 cups cold milk
2 4oz packages JELLO-O pumpkin spice Instant pudding mix
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 8oz tub cool whip
1 6oz graham cracker pie crust

Directions:
Beat the milk, pudding mix, and cinnamon with a whisk until well blended and smooth. Spread 1 1/2 cups onto bottom of pie crust.

Add 1 1/2 cups cool whip to the remaining mixture and whisk til smooth then spread that on top of the first layer

Spread remaining cool whip on the top and pop in the fridge for an hour

That's it! I can't wait to try it. . .I wonder if this recipe can be adapted for other Jello flavors?
