I'm supposed to go run in the morning. But I feel bad for neglecting my Vox peeps.
So, I'm growing my hair out, and I'm seriously not digging it right now. I'm trying to get used to it but right now, not so much. Not sold on this goatee either.
I just got back from a family reunion in South Dakota. It was also my grandpa's 90th birthday party. This is pretty awesome because he's had a really rough year, health-wise. Doctors said he wouldn't walk again, then they said he'd never leave the nursing home, and he kinda gave them all the finger and did all that shit anyway. He's a badass like that.
We had the party at my uncle's property on the Missouri river. I shot tons of photos, including the "official" family ones. The next day I set up a nice little slide show on my laptop and everyone was digging it, saying how nice it was to have a professional photographer in the family. Pretty sweet.
This is my 90 year old badass grandpa (he fought in WWII so you STFU) and my grandma. That's not a fake backdrop.
This is my kid barreling towards me, and who, unbeknownst to me, was about to show me a new trick he had just learned - throwing water at people.
And I'm getting pretty damn bored and annoyed with the fact that there has been ZERO action on the romance front. Blah to that!
Have a DJ gig Thursday night, that should be fun.
I'm off to bed.
- 10:51 A rare day off billable client work. Which means I get to catch up on small little to-dos that have been lurking too long on my list. #
- 11:46 I did a longer swim workout this morning and I am SO hungry for lunch. #
- 16:11 Egads - it's 4:00 and I'm hungry again. That must have been some workout this morning. Eating pretzels. #

Oh, my pretties, where to begin?
1.Hezbollah scarves
There was a point in the late 80s where every hipster-tough in Montreal wore one of these, usually with a black leather zippered motorcycle jacket known as a "perfecto". I hated the fad then, and I hate it even more now.
2. Hammer pants.
AKA drop crotch pants, usually pleated, tapered and cropped. Yes, this particularly heinous fashion crime appears to be back. They don't even look good on the models. Please, I beg of you, DON'T touch this.
3.Flip-flops.
Ok, peeps. I know that this will offend a lot of you, who are devoted to your flip flops. But personally, I don't think flip flops--no matter how cute, fancy (sequined??) or expensive ($300 Chanel flip flops???)--should be worn anywhere other than the beach, the pool or the spa. Flip-flops at work? Ugh. Flip flops with dress pants? Double Ugh. Men in flip flops? That just makes me throw up in my mouth every time I see it.
4.Platform sandals.
I don't care how much you paid or them. I still think they look trashy.
5.Hollister/Abercrombie t-shirts
Listen up, kids: they should be paying YOU to wear their store name emblazoned in such a huge font on your chest. I mean, it's not even a graphic logo, like the little crocodile or polo player. It's the WHOLE STORE NAME.
- 21:46 @eerriinn so glad im not the only one scrambling in the pan. not about salmonella for me tho. about being lazy and not wanting to do dishes #
- 10:08 @javajanie I'm awake but in a daze. The day isn't moving fast enough for me #
- 11:56 Listening to Ben Folds Five. Laughing. Waiting for noon so I can eat lunch. My belly keeps saying "feeeed me Seymour". It calls me Seymour #
- 13:29 @eerriinn yay for in-n-out. I've got to drive at least 30 mins to get to one. I miss having them around the corner #
- 13:33 twitpic.com/8ah0 - Opened a sealed package that came w/ my scanner and the driver CD turned out to be mannhiem steamroller... #
- 15:10 Reading results of coloniscopys at work. They all end with "the camera was removed from the patient". I should hope so! #

If you are a huge fan of Big Brother as I, you might have noticed that Dan (the biggest asshat on the planet) has many similarities in speech pattern of one.....Randy "Macho-Man" Savage.
STOP yelling in the confessional you schmuck! I have to adjust volume every time I watch the show and you appear solo. Crank that volume down D.

It was my 9yo who brought this "story" to my attention, She said to me in disgust the other night "Did you know that they had on the news that Princess Mary had gone to the shops to buy nappies!?!". I then told her about Cate Blanchett's shoes and she was even more amazed and went running off to tell her dad.
I actually find the whole Princess Mary carry on in Australia quite puzzling. She is just a real estate agent from Tasmania and doesn't even seem to have much of a personality. I remember a radio announcer joking at the time of the "Royal wedding" that we should change the Australian national anthem to "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen".
No wonder the Republic didn't get up!

I had thought that this one had been asked previously but I just looked it up and found that I had actually given a sarcastic answer to a very different question.
Fortunately I think the muffin-top look is pretty much on its last legs now so my current least favourite fashion trend would have to be all those clothes like the smock top that make non-pregnant women look like they are in their last trimester or at least eating for two. Given that being asked if I am pregnant is something that completely ruins my day, I can't see why anyone non-pregnant would voluntarily embrace this fashion trend.
Also liked Diamond's answer to this question. Hopefully the phase out of the muffin top will also result in the phase out of that particular nasty trend.
The bro and his gf are home from Portugal. It's great to have them back =) They brought back tons of gifts. Here are a few!
Sadly... Bunbun's going home. -sigh- However, I'm really considering getting a Bunny, so they can have bunnie playdates :o)
Well, thanks to an unplanned sleepover, we went to see Tropic Thunder tonight.
Wow! We thought it was great. Lots of great talent and some of it was completely unexpected, which is why I LOVE seeing a movie without hearing (or reading) anything about it.
All I'll say is - I'm really glad that Robert Downey, Jr got his act together. Between this and Iron Man, he's really made my summer.
