Normally, I try to have blog posts with purpose - writing what I'm passionate about. Not today. I just have some random stuff to tell...
I got kicked in the throat yesterday morning. It was an accident, but it sucked ass. The soundtrack may have gone something like this: "Murfle, mmm, mmm-mmm!" (that's me issuing a warning through peanut-butter-toast-mouth). I run to the couch to catch a falling pet, and boom, he nails me in the throat. It hurt so bad, I thought I'd have a bruise or something cool - no such luck.
I have friends that are ending a relationship. Being a friend to both of them, I've played sympathetic-ear for both parties, leaving me rather drained emotionally. Friend A is moving out, and Friend B is being left behind. I've been feeding Friend B here and there, and helping to nurse a broken heart. They live right next to me, and I do mean RIGHT NEXT, we share a wall. I'm at the computer late last night, geeking it up, and I hear tapping on the wall. At first, I thought it might be Friend B, tapping the wall to see if I'd tap back, signalling that I was awake. I leaned a bit closer, getting ready to morse him back... and then I hear it. Bed springs. It was the sound of the bed hitting the wall! I was so embarrassed and slightly grossed out, because my head was like, right there. Friend A and I had a giggle about it this afternoon though.

Get Fixed
I love animals. Dogs especially. Many of you know that I've been looking for a second dog for awhile now. I looked at puppies in the paper - hundreds of puppies. Hundreds. Some were from registered CKC breeders, but the majority were mixed breeds from irresponsible backyard breeders. Apparently, these people producing puppies for profit havent seen this video. Be warned, it is a tad graphic. Doxie had posted it last week in the Dogs Group here at SG.
I'm volunteering with a local animal rescue now, helping out with adoptions, fundraising and even taking in an older dog or puppy until it finds its forever-home. I just couldn't support irresponsible breeding. There are so so so so so many dogs and puppies out there, dying for a home, literally.

Brick
Stop what you're doing. Don't even read the rest of this... go out and rent the movie "Brick" (2005), writen & directed by Rian Johnson. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Good. Now that you've got it, I can finish. What a movie. Spectacular. I mean, really. It's a classic film noir, set in modern times. A gritty detective story, in a high school. Crime, drugs, a missing love, murder, moms and apple juice.
Rian Johnson's direction was on the mark. I smelled dirty teenaged hair watching this movie. That's how good this guy is. Johnson hasn't directed a ton of movies, so far just Brick and something called Evil Demon Golfball from Hell!!! (1996). And he edited the film "May" (2002).
Most surprising in the cast was Joseph Gordon-Levitt - who was, dare I say it? sexy! I guess I feel guilty feeling attracted to him because he was that cute kid from Third Rock from the Sun, and in syndication, he's still about 10 or 12 years old. I'm creepy. Regardless, he was hot in this movie, H-O-T. Steamy hot. And he kicked some serious ass. He took down a football player, a dope-head and some dude brandishing a knife - and I believed it. Gordon-Levitt's character, Brendan Frye* was witty as hell - I found myself laughing where, in a real-life situation, I'd get my ass kicked.
Also gracing the cast was Emilie de Ravin (Lost), Richard Roundtree (Shaft!!!!), and Lukas Haas. That last one gave me some trouble. All through the movie it was bugging the hell out of me, couldn't figure who he was. I had to get on the computer and find out as soon as the credits were rolling - he was the little kid from "Witness." Drove me nuts. I feel better now.
Anyway, the best advice I could possibly give you for several hours(ish) of solid entertainment is to rent this movie. Oh, and as for my little * maybe it's just me, but whenever someone is named "Frye" in real life or in films I can't help but think of Philip J. Fry and giggle.

Ah, Sweet Rejection
Well, it's official, I'm not a Suicide Girl. Not with this latest photo-set, anyway. I got the rejection letter just now. I guess I didn't think it would hurt this much - the rejection, I mean. I've passed through the first stages of SG approval, they just need a "useable" set from me. *sighs*
So what went wrong? The lighting obviously sucks, I thought maybe SG could fix that. What else? They didn't say much, just that they could not use the set "at this time." Maybe not enough full naked shots? Too many? Set continuity? Well, that could've been an issue for them - the set was taken in the afternoon and the lighting was changing as we went. It does kind of look like some of them could have been taken at a different time. Natural light, hmm, maybe artificial would be better.
And what will I do differently when I can submit again? Shop lights, I picked up some shop lights last weekend to help with the light issue.
Which pics do you like? Which do you hate? All critiques welcome guys.

Okay. Ow. Owie, owie, owie.
Are you familiar with those apple slicer thing-a-ma-bobs? It's a circle shape that you place over an apple, and with it's blades, cuts the apple into sections. Real time-saver, I love it. Well, I loved it. Until today. While slicing an apple (I like to have an apple for lunch, with ricotta cheese and cinnamon on it - mmm mmm), the fingernail on my left thumb got caught in the blade, slicing the nail and part of the thumb vertically. The ow is pretty superficial, but oh, it looks icky. And it hurts. The sensitive pinky skin under the nail was sliced too. Ouch. Needless to say, I did not enjoy my lunch very much. I consoled myself with some potato chips and a nap.

Kenny Vs. Spenny
I love these guys. If you haven't seen it, I highly reccomend the show. They compete against eachother in the most ridiculous contests (Who Can Stand Up the Longest? Who Can Stay Naked Longest? Who's the Better Male Stripper? Who's the Better Rapper? - my personal favourite), and the loser has to do a humiliation, determined by the winner of said contest. Sometimes the humiliations are the best part of the show, so you've gotta stick around until the very end.
I can't really say too much more... they're Canadian, they're freaking hilarious, watch the show if you can. Here are some websites, if you're not familiar with them already:

Townsend Coleman
Sound familiar? I had to look it up myself. He's the voice of "The Tick." Since a couple of us were on the topic of The Tick the other day, I thought I'd write a little about Mr. Coleman and his voice. He voiced The Tick, that we know, but were you also aware that he was Michaelangelo on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (tv series, 1989 -1994)? He also did three different Batman cartoons: Batman: The Animated Series (1992 - my brother used to say, "The Animated Serious" hee hee) as "Chick," The New Batman Adventures, and Batman Beyond (1999-2000) as "Falseface" and "Lieutenant," plus he was in the "Subzero" Batman animated flick. Maybe he's really into DC Comics' cartoons, because he was also in "Superman"/"Superman the Animated Series." Getting into the eighties here, he was the voice of a couple characters on "Fraggle Rock," "Inspector Gadget" and, I don't know if anyone besides me ever watched this one, but he was a voice on the cartoon "Jem" as well. One more, he was the voice of "Scott" on the animated "Teen Wolf" series. Wow. You can view all this info at IMDB
If you're really jonesing for The Tick, you can check out a couple of these websites. Oh, how I wish they'd bring back The Tick here in Canada, if only in syndication....

Just for fun, I put on a blue wig, took some photos and posted a couple of them in my Pics section. If you look close, you can see my new labret piercing.
My hot water tank is still leaking - where do you buy new ones anyway? And my fridge still smells yucky. Looks like I'm spending Labour Day on my knees again - cleaning, that is, of course.

My hot water tank is dying. Its running a temperature. Its incontinent. It's underside is smelly. Poor thing. I'm unaware of the humane way to put it out of its misery. Do I pull the plug now, before the cute new model is introduced? Or do I let it see the replacement? It was a good watertank, up until this point - will it go to hot water tank heaven?
