Hello my lovelies...please excuse my

Hello my lovelies...please excuse my absence these past couple of days...am in the throes of a nice long four day weekend and have been reducing my mind to a gelatinous paste through the clever use of naps, alcohol (although not as much as you would assume) and movies....have done nothing of any consequence or interest...last night I went to this which perhaps doesn't sound that exciting, and granted, if there had been beter beer involved I would have been a much happier girl, but if you give me live bagpipes, and men in kilts, I'm a pretty happy girl, even if there is only Budweiser to be had...bagpipes and a kilt can make a man just come alive..yes indeed. Tonight was about Club Foot and pinball...but *tomorrow*....Tomorrow night is the long awaited, eagerly anticipated Joe Jackson show...and my heart is running a mile a minute.....pitter pat pitter pat....I do so love Joe...oh yes I do...

Anyway, I had several voddie and soda's tonight, and I think the best thing for me to do right now is shut up and go to bed...stay tuned for much groupie fan girl gushing tomorrow night (I know that's why you come here anyway, me being the quintessential groupie that I am, you come here for the gushing and adolescent lusting) I know you can hardly wait.

Until then...

I really didn't think I

I really didn't think I could find Justin Timberlake any more annoying...but now he's doing a Bally's campaign...stupid shrill prancing...gyeahhh! He's just such a bitch boy and I would SO love to just...oh I don't know...something that involves his shrieking like a girl involuntarily preferably followed by profuse bleeding, and then perhaps..hell, why not? more shrieking!!

So, was watching a movie,

So, was watching a movie, (I wont say what movie because it's marginally more embarrassing than what I am about to divulge) and the movie ends and while I'm rewinding I'm watching (embarrassed cough) "American Girl" and I just have 2 questions:

1. What the hell would Geri Ginger Spice bloody Halliwell know about being an All American Girl? She's from Watford for chrissake!

2. How much would it suck to have a Spice Girl tell you you were too crap and weren't going to the next round?

I think what really draws me into these dreadful shows is the sniveling and drama from the losers:

(sob sob)"But I AM an all American girl, and (sob, snuffle)...and I'm not gonna stop just because she says I'm not one" (sniff, sob, sob - dabs gently at corner of eye with tissue held in perfectly French manicured fingers (although if she was REALLY All American It would be a Liberty Manicure*)

* Sorry - I just had to, my IQ is falling so fast watching this it’s making a noise as it plummets. Please excuse bad joke ref. to the freedom fries foolishness.

With all this horrific ugliness

With all this horrific ugliness happening in the world, here's a happy story for a change...more of a snippet than a story...but still nice...and warm and cuddly and far more evocative of the "aaaaawwww" sentiment than baby poo will ever be.

Although I don't sit right

Although I don't sit right in my department, I am within earshot, and I just endured the most ghastly baby conversation, between my boss and a co-worker, about aforementioned co-worker's baby pooing in the bath tub....involving such key phrases as "I saw the bubbles come up, and I knew what was gonna happen" and "aaaaawwwww!" there was also talk of texture, but I will spare you.

Just thought I'd share that since I hate being completely grossed out this early in the morning by myself.

This morning I had to

This morning I had to sprint 2 blocks in order to catch my train. Half an hour later, normal breathing has resumed, but I still feel like someone went poking around in my lungs with a rusty trowel.

Well Miss Lis, maybe you should quit smoking.

Gee - ya think?

And go to the gym more often

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that...

And losing 10 lbs wouldn't kill you

Okay, you're done..

And what's up with your hair today?

Fuck off.

Last night, I rented a movie called Fast Sofa. Not a great movie, but I've wasted my time in worse ways. Crispin Glover is magnificent in it (portraying a quirky ornithologist with walleye), Jake Busey is tolerable and very appropriately cast, and if you ever wanted to see Jennifer Tilly in bondage gear, this is the flick for you.

After being driven from the

After being driven from the gym on the verge of tears by image after image on CNN of these tremendously brave children we've sent over to fight and die on our behalf, I've added a yellow ribbon, because I really don't feel there's much else I can do.

Rather uneventful weekend...looking forward to

Rather uneventful weekend...looking forward to the approaching weekend, as I've taken off Friday and next Monday, so I'll have a 4 days away from job jail, AND the Joe Jackson show is on Sunday.

Anybody else watch the Oscars last night? Anyone else think Adrien Brody is one of the most astonishingly beautiful men on the planet? Anyone else want to tie down Renee Zellweger and force feed her skinny ass a donut? Maybe she could split one with Hillary Swank. I'm all for being thin, but there's thin, and then there's looking like a bobblehead come to life...

That's about it for my Oscar commentary.

Many thanks to MXV for

Many thanks to MXV for coming out for pinball last night, and for being kind enough to let me win a couple of games and not completely trouncing me every time...and also for imparting upon me some of his pinball Mojo and thereby allowing Miss Lis to break 100 million for the first time in like 10 years...

Thought I'd give this Friday Five business a whirl.....

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you've never met, from the past or present, who would it be?

Joey Ramone...or if he's busy that day, maybe Mark Sandman....I'd like to meet my paternal grandparents...

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
It would be nice to live in England about two hundred years ago...well, except for all that pesky poverty, death and disease...

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?
Cornwall England....or Portland, Oregon...anywhere with hills and trees, or fields and cows...and rain..

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?

Scooby Doo - he runs at the first sign of trouble, and spends all his time eating sandwiches and getting high in the back of the Mystery Machine with Shaggy (if "scooby snacks" isn't code I don't know what is...like when I was in school and we'd say we were gonna "go study") - I can think of worse ways to live...close second would be Vyvian from the Young Ones. My apologies to anyone who was hoping for a slightly more intellectual answer than this...but if you were, clearly you're reading the wrong blog.

5. If you had to live with having someone else's face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?

Lauren Bacall in "How to Marry a Millionaire" - she was scorchin'! If I'm gonna have the face tho, I also want the body, the wardrobe, and the attitude.

Random silly words keep popping

Random silly words keep popping into my thoughts today, for example:

Smurf - dunno why. I probably haven't seen he Smurfs in 20 years, yet I am brimming with the desire to turn to someone angrily and yell, "Hey, Smurf you, okay pal?"...

Shizzle-fazzizzle - I saw Snoop Dogg on Jimmy Kimmel last night...what the fuck does that even mean? Does Snoop even know? or is he just talking crap because he's rich and famous and if he wants to make up his own language of incoherent babble involving lot's of Z's, he's bloody well going to and there's little you or I can do to stop him.

Bagpuss - this is a kids show I used to watch oh so many moons ago...It had a kitty in it - therefore I liked it. I was easily pleased as a child.
