Celebrity Face Twins

Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend.

As for me, I'll be taking some time off from blogging this weekend, while I sit in my apartment and quietly cry over this...

...the results of my "Who's Your Celebrity Face Twin?" survey.





Want to be saddened for yourself?  Try it here.  I dare you.

Breaking News

Today was a monumental day.

Today, reality looked me square in the face, and then punched.

Today, Facebook alerted me that my blog is considered spam.


I guess we all saw this coming.

Photo Hunt Thursday

Happy Thursday!  In honor of this, the fifth day of the second week of the 2012th year, I present a photo hunt from the news.  I know, I know.  I don't usually get so serious, but let's give this a shot...

Photo Hunt*


* Answer Key: I'm still scratching my head over how a news article about ethnic tensions in Washington, DC ends up with a photo of Banana Republic.

How to Get a Husband

I had a real breakthrough last night.  While watching the critically-acclaimed television documentary "The Bachelor" for the first time, I had an "Aha!" moment.  Specifically, this program has developed some real 'best practices' for the art, nay science, of getting a husband, which I fully intend to use in my own life...


How to Get a Husband







Step 1: Threaten Violence Against Other Ladies

















Step 2: Use a Fictitious Job Title















Step 3: Wear Some Sort of Low-Cut Onesie

















Step 4: Employ the Liberal Use of F-Bombs













Step 5: Drink Heavily (but Remember to Eat Nothing)







Step 6: Cry in an Interview Room














Step 7: Cry in a Luggage Room















Step 8:  Pass Out

Words with Inanimate Objects

Today, I learned a lot of valuable lessons.  Like, there are places in this world where Burger King signs have religious overtones.  And, when in rural Florida, one must accept the fact that there is no such thing as a non-country-radio-station.

Perhaps most importantly, though, I learned that, given 17 hours of solitary car time, there's really no telling what I'll do...

Words with Inanimate Objects
GPS: continue on interstate 95 for 590 miles
me: ohmygod, 590 miles on the same road?!
GPS: [silence]
me: well, I guess I'll just try to limit my stops to get there faster.
GPS: [silence]
me: Ooo, there's a Dairy Queen Brazier at the next exit!!
GPS: [judgmental silence]
