that the pope died about 6:30 pst 3/31/05….
what do you think?

to just quote a little of this post. It all makes me snarf…

Easy Bake Coven: “News that the rapture has come and gone alarms many Christians. From Capitol Hill to Kansas, finger pointing and questioning: ‘why are we still here?’ But instead of Mr. DeLay and millions of other believers making the skyward trek, the biblical bash appears to have been an exclusive, invitation-only affair. As of today, fewer than three dozen Christians are confirmed to have been ‘raptured,’ leaving their rejected brethren to deal with seven years of Tribulation, a turbulent period marked by the return of the anti-Christ. Nicely done.

this is BAD

As much as we’d like to tell you that you don’t need to go through insurance hell, we won’t, because we think you are adorable with that little vein sticking out of your head when you deal with the repair shops about your car.
And to make sure that you go ahead and have to have that bumper futzed with again, we’re letting the rust eat it from underneath the chrome plating outward.
Aren’t those little blooms pretty?

Love and kisses,
The Universe.

p.s. here’s a nice zit for you to fret over as well.

Yahoo! News – Viagra May Cause Vision Loss:
“Viagra May Cause Vision Loss
By Anthony J. Brown, MD

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – In a new study, US researchers describe seven patients who developed nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), an eye problem that can result in permanent vision loss, after taking Viagra (sildenafil) for erection difficulties. Combined with past reports, this study brings the total number of sildenafil-related NAION cases to 14. “

Now THIS is my kind of doll.

I called in at 10 this morning, then at 4 p.m., its 7 p.m. now….

am I not important at all?

UPDATE: apparently not.
12 hours.

UPDATE UPDATE: they showed up around 11:30 (I had to change out of my jammies) but they were very sweet in their explanation to me of the fact that I am screwed since we don’t have a license plate # and a positive ID of the hit andrun driver.
Whatever.
My poor car is uglier and hopefully not too broken. I really don’t want to go through insurance hell right now.

and smashing my car?
I’m not loving this tradition.

I’m still waiting for the officers to show up to take my statement, but I have an eyewitness, an exact time it happened and a piece of the car (I’m pretty sure its off the car.)…but man, I’m cranky about this.
Also, I had a call in for the officers to show up at 10 this morning, but then 6 hours later when I hadn’t heard a peep, I called back and asked and, of course, they lost my call…
Pesky Mercury Retrograde.

…so, I wait…still.

and I work remotely… bah.
I did get some house cleaning done.

your days are numbered, buddy.

Andy Maskin’s Living Will:
“My Living Will
By Andy Maskin

I, Andy Maskin, being of sound mind and body, hereby grant authority over my handling should I enter a persistent vegetative state to the United States Congress pursuant to the following conditions:

# In the Senate, a tie shall be broken by a potato sack race between the eldest Senators for each side of the argument. If one such Senator is a Senator from Idaho, he or she is to be considered to have an unfair advantage and his spot will be passed to the next-eldest non-Idaho Senator. This race shall be no shorter than 50 meters and no longer than 100 meters.

# If Congress is unable to make a determination based on the conditions set forth above, then the decision whether or not to keep me alive with machines shall fall to the Bush twins. If Jenna is unable to serve in this capacity, then Bjork may cast a vote in her place. If Barbara is similarly unavailable, her vote may be cast by a well-trained parrot of Jenna’s choosing.

# In the event of a tie between the Bush twins (or their aforementioned proxies) then that tie shall be broken by the oldest living descendent of Adlai Stevenson.”

seems to be the word of the day.

but I should have entitled it “stupid” instead, because I just hit the history erase button and lost about a thousand words on my lame essay about my guilt at feeling happy occasionnaly.
Its probably all for the best.

Anyhoo, the gist of it was that if you love me and are my friend (and don’t try to pull the family or “someone in love with me” card because friends are more important that any of that (and yes, there are some people in my family that count as friends and some that I just happen to share genetics with… which won’t curry you any favor.)) you want me to be happy and you know that I will do a lot for you, but given my past I am not willing to completely give up my own happiness for anyone. Also know that I am not a malicious person and I’m not doing this stuff to piss you off.
