Pinker Haired Girl

I redyed my hair today. Also, I blow dried it and made it flip up all cute. See! Cute!

I realize that you people probably don't give a shit what my hair looks like, but this is the first time I've had what could actually be described as a "hairstyle" rather than "a bunch of hair I don't know what to do with" and it's fun for me.

Video Store Conversation

Me: (holding up video) Wouldn't it be great if this was porn?
Phil: I don't think "Jew-boy Levi" is porn.
Me: Why isn't the world ever the way I want it to be?
Phil: Because we aren't all giant kittens.

Maybe I'll Just Stop Eating

I just spent I think about $70 on food. Granted, the cupboard was bare, but still.

The thing that actually bothers me is that I went to the shitty supermarket and spent $20, and then to Whole Foods and spent $50, but I got about the same amount of food from both places. Granted, at Whole Foods I bought vinegar and oil, and those are more expensive, but still. (Seriously, what the hell is up with Flax Oil? Is it like, made of gold or something? I just paid like, 7 bucks for not that much of it! Yeah, it tastes like butter and it's good for you, but 7 bucks! Jesus Christ!) Also, I splurged and bought some jalapeno stuffed olives. So! Yummy! Cannot resist!

I'm not even purchasing dairy products anymore. Isn't being vegan supposed to be cheap? Do people just think it's cheap because half the vegans are squatter punks who dumpster dive all their food? I mean, yeah, I could eat ramen for every meal (And don't think I haven't considered it. Or done it for a couple of days) but it wouldn't be healthy or that satisfying.

I suppose I should be buying less prepared and semi-prepared food, but when we've got tofu, veggies, and pasta or rice I come home from work and am like, "So, wanna go out to eat?" I'm lazy. And frequently tired and hungry.

And now I'm too tired from dragging my food back from the store to figure out what I want to eat. Fortunately I bought orange juice so I could make screwdrivers. Because I'm never too tired or lazy to drink.

Also, when I went to turn the kitchen light on I shocked myself so bad that I actually saw a spark! Not happy.

I'm Sorry I'm Boring

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately. It's because of, yes Blogwhore. It's down to me, Chris, and Liz. I am going to kick those bitches' asses. I have mega fierce competition and it's down to the wire here. In fact, I'm totally stressing right now over whether or not I'm going to be in the game tomorrow. Eeeee!

Anyway, Philo of East/West wrote a totally great summary of the game so far here if you're interested.

Because You Care About My Browser Choices

I have downloaded Netscape 7, and I am totally digging it. For one thing, it doesn't make websites all ugly and crazy like Netscape 6. Also, it has page thingies so I can open multiple websites in the same Netscape 7. And I can see favorite icons now! Unfortunately, this has caused me to realize that my website icon is butt ugly.

Does anyone have icon making software suggestions?

Haircut

So, a while ago I wrote about the Perfect Haircut.

So, today, I got it.

Seriously, y'all, how cute is that? Plus I've been assured that with proper hair products I'll be able to make it all flippy and stuff.

A girl who reads my blog actually came over to my house and gave me this haircut for free. How fucking excellent is that? I got an awesome haircut, for free, without even having to leave my house.

This blogging shit is definitely worth it.

Pin-up Girl Brigade

I Have a New Hobby

I stand behind my roommate when he's playing Diablo II, and I make the video game noises.

"POW!"
"Wachaaaa!"
"Bam!"
"Bang!"

And yet, somehow he has resisted the urge to beat the shit out of me. He is a prince among men.

"POW!"

Favor

Hey guys, I need you to whore for me again. Basically, just spread the word about blogwhore anyway you can, then tell me about it by tomorrow afternoon.

Seriously, have you guys been following it over there? It's wild and crazy times, I assure you.

Whoa, Blossom

Dude, y'all, there is a fuckload of snow out there. Seriously, more snow than I have seen in my entire life, other than in designated snow areas like ski resorts.

It's kind of fun. Everyone is sort of amazed by the snow, people actually talk to you on the street and stuff. It's like we're each seperately walking around going, "Holy shit, there's a lot of snow out here," just kind of amazed by it, and when we see other people we just want to go, "Hey! Fuckload of snow! Have you noticed? Mother nature has like, totally won here!"

Also, I wore my fuzzy hat to work, and some men shoveling snow stopped me and took a picture with me. They made me hold a shovel.

The only downside to this picture is that I don't own any snow boots. I did at one point, but they're in a different state somewhere for some reason, like I am stupid. So I've decided that platform shoes are sensible winter wear, as they kind of keep one above the snow. It kind of works, other than the complete lack of traction, and the fact that platform shoes are heavy.

Oh My God

I am so tired.

Peace, Please

Photos from the NYC Peace Rally here.

NYC took away the March permit for the protest, but they gave a permit for a rally to take place on 1st Ave and 51st St. Unfortunately for the city, so many people showed up that everyone trying to get to the rally site turned into what was basically a peace march. I never actually made it to the official "rally". These photos were all taken on 2nd Ave. They blocked off all the streets between 1st, 2nd and 3rd so people couldn't get to the rally. Basically, everything between 40th St and 60th St was shut down.

So if you had been driving on any of those streets, you were pretty fucked. I saw a bunch of vehicles caught in the crowd, including a bus. (There's a picture of the bus in the pictures.) CNN estimated over a hundred thousand people were there. I was surprised by the complete lack of incidents between police and protesters.

I Am Back, Safe and Sound

New York was quite delightful. Pictures over at Blogwhore. More pictures of peace rally stuff when I am not exhausted.

There is a lot of snow out there, people. A lot. It is quite exhausting to walk through. But I saw Ladytron and you did not, so ha ha.

Also, I am taking a stand. I am decidedly anti-hipster.

Women in Prison

So, I'm off to NYC. If I'm not back by Monday, it's because I've been arrested for protesting.

Which would suck, because I have Ladytron tickets Sunday night. So hopefully I won't be beaten by the cops too badly.

What I Thought While Looking at Porn on Nerve

"Oooh! Gay boys! Hot!"
"Oh, wait, that's not a boy."
"Shit, Nerve really needs to start getting some models with actual body fat."

Fabulous, Fabulous Go Fish Nicole!

I met Nicole from Go Fish today. I'm not sure if I mentioned this to her, but she's actually the first other blogger I've met. Yep, that's right, you took my blogger-meeting virginity, Nicole!

Fortunately, she was very kind and gentle, and I'm pretty sure she still respects me.

Also, I have total hair envy! She has like, the best haircut ever. And that coat! You can see pictures of it here.

And she's ever-so-kindly letting me borrow her big blonde wig so I can wear it to the Dolly Parton party at the dyke bar. (Is there really a more fantastic set of words than "Dolly Parton party at the dyke bar"? Mmmm, I think not.)

And even more excitingly, we are totally going to get the Philly blog scene going. So, if you have a blog and are in Philly, you totally need to email one of us. She doesn't seem to bite, and I only bite if severly provoked, so you needn't worry.

Hair News

I've decided I would like my hair to look like Josie's in Josie and the Pussycats. Except, of course, pink.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could make this happen? Or recommendations of good (cheap) haircut places in Philly/NYC?

I Made A Quiz!

You're a wine stain. Equally likely to occur after
a romantic night out on the town, and a night
on your sofa, contemplating the pathetic wreck
your life has become. Either way, you're just
a reflection of what it looks like inside your
liver.

Have I Mentioned

How totally excited I am to be going to a Dolly Parton Extravaganza with the Uffish girl this Friday?

Dolly freakin' Parton, y'all. Dolly Parton look-a-like contest. In a lesbian club, no less.

Now all I need is a blonde wig.

And Who Won, Again?

How Big a Lush Am I?

I got a birthday card from my bartender.

Hey, You're Not Really Talking About Soccer Practice At All!

I found Gay Pimp via East/West, and I have to say is that you have to go there and watch the Soccer Practice video. Just do it, okay?

Oh, and Chris, they reference the Navy.

Um, probably not worksafe.

An Open Letter to My Breasts

Okay, you guys, stop it. No, seriously, stop it. Do you know how many of my bras fit me right now? (Well, of course you do, you're my breasts.) Two. One of them is that lacy one that shows through half my clothing, and the other one has more structural engineering than the freaking Hoover Dam.

Can I afford new bras right now? No. And you know why I can't, besides being poor? Because you guys are so freakin big that I can't buy bras at department stores. Oh no. You know know where I have to go to buy bras that actually fit? Fredricks of Hollywood. That's right, you guys are so big that I have to shop and a freaking stripper store. Thanks a lot.

Yes, I realize that I consume massive amounts of soy, and it contains some sort of weird boobie growing chemical. But you know what the rest of my body is doing? Getting smaller. Why do you keep getting bigger? Why? Do you want none of my clothes to fit?

Yes, you have your good points. When you're in the structural engineering bra, I have a lot of cleavage and it's amusing to stick my finger in it, or use it to hold things. You jiggle in a very amusing way when poked. I can use you as hand puppets, in a pinch.

Breasts, I have a warning for you. When I was in high school, I knew a girl who had boobs so big that she could put a pack of cigarettes in her bra, and you couldn't tell it was there. Do you want to be those boobs? No, I don't think you do. Consider the future. And stop freaking growing!

Probably just to see if they could port linux to my cunt, though.

Meet the Amazing Pink Haired Girl!

My ex-boyfriend and I were hanging out this one time, talking about what we were looking for in a significant other. He was pretty into H at the time, and he said, "Really, I just want to date a girl who shoots up as much as I do."

That's kind of how I feel, except about blogging. I want to meet some blogger people, like, in the flesh! I'm planning on going up to New York City on Friday the 14th, and I know that the NYC bloggers do lots of cool things and have parties and there's drinking and witty remarks and it's just like the freaking Algonquin Round Table up there. So, anyway, if you're a New York blogger, you should email me. I am very well behaved and only bite when prevoked.

Oh, and I'm also interested in the Peace Rally in NYC on the 15th, if anyone's going to that.

You should also email me if you're a Philly blogger. Is there a Philly blog scene? Does anyone know anything about this? I know Nicole at go fish does a webring, but I want fabulous parties! Where are the coke and hookers, yo?

Not Here

I just posted to Blogwhore with pictures of my tattoos. So you should check it out, if you're into that sort of thing.

"DiCaprio could kick Elvis's ass."

This Fortune Magazine Article on Food has the funniest quotes ever.

Some examples:

"We have a cooking club now, so we have high school students who, instead of going to a rave party downtown and consuming large quantities of ecstasy, are having a dinner party and consuming large quantities of herb-crusted cod."

"As a civilization we've never had huge amounts of food before. Used to be, in the winter you had to eat dried salmon or figs or grandma," says futurist Bruce Sterling, author of the new book Tomorrow Now. "I don't think there's ever been a society that when presented with an endless stream of free cheeseburgers would have said, 'No, thanks, I'll go back to my gruel here.'"

"You go look at an old Elvis movie, and he's supposedly this avatar of masculinity, and he's got baby fat all over his torso. I mean, even Leonardo DiCaprio, who is supposedly feminine, is in better shape than Elvis was. DiCaprio could kick Elvis's ass."

Not For All North Carolina, Not For All My Little Words

My girlfriend and I broke up today. Or maybe we're on break. It's all kind of confusing. I don't really want to talk about. I shouldn't talk about it here, because even though I try to be really honest here, more honest than I am in real life, a lot of people I know read this, and a lot of people who know my girlfriend read this.

So I guess I'll just say that this hurts. I hurt.

I'll be drunk, if you need me.

Checka Checka

Check out the super cute Blogwhore button that Liz made me. It's over there, to the right and down a little.

And y'all should be checking out Blogwhore if you're not already. I've been kind of shooting my blogging wad over there a lot lately, so it's probably much more interesting than here. Plus, there's all my fabulous fellow whores.
