Things are over between the Gypsy and I. We had a talk last night and I told her I wasn't interested in the same future she was (she was looking for children and a fella to sit by her side in synagogue -- I'm undecided about kids but leaning heavily away from them and want no part of organized religion). She replied that she knew this after our first date and didn't believe in wasting time with someone you know you have no long-term future with but was "intrigued in me as a person." So it went as well as could be expected. She's really a good kid, I don't think she'll have trouble finding 'Mr. Right'; as long as he kisses in the same style as she does...
Was stiffed by my tattoo artist again yesterday. Actually, this time it was his appointment booker. I called him on Monday and made an appointment for "Saturday at 4:00." I showed up yesterday with a Coke and box of Milk Duds to have them tell me my appointment was NEXT Saturday. They even showed me the entry in the appointment book for March 4th. I guess I misunderstood -- when someone says "Saturday" you shouldn't assume it is for the next available Saturday. Fuckin' douchebags. NEXT Saturday is their last chance...
Speaking of Milk Duds, have you ever thrown them in the fridge? Eating them becomes like trying to eat flubber -- it's almost an effort in futility to get them down your gullet. And if you're wasted like I was last night, you aren't deterred one bit: you grab another handful and throw them in your mouth, only to struggle mightily again...
Apparently I'm in the minority, but could someone please explain the obsession with 'American Idol'? I wouldn't watch it if forced at gunpoint...
The Olympics are coming to an end. Has anyone noticed? The only viewing I did was curling of all things -- I was amazed this is a sport, let alone an Olympic sport, and was hypnotized by the absurdity of it. Anything involving brooms should not be considered a sport or event. How do people get involved in this? Are there actually kids growing up who say "one day I'm gonna be an Olympic curler," then spend years of their lives sliding rocks on ice and sweeping with brooms in hopes of making their country's team? Do these people use being on the Olympic curling team while trying to pick up chicks? Can you imagine: "Oh really, you're competing in the Olympics for Team USA! What event will you be competing in? Curling, what's curling?" And if curling is good enough to be an Olympic event, why not shuffleboard, horse shoes or lawn darts...
Actor Darren McGavin died this weekend. Not the biggest star out there, but his contributions to my entertainment and life cannot be denied: Carl Kolchak in the TV show 'Kolchak: the Night Stalker" and the Dad in "A Christmas Story". And Don Knotts' death is getting all the headlines. Thanks for all the good times DMG. "Fra-gee-ley, it must be Italian."
The only way to justify my obsession with American Idol, is to just flat out admit I am a reality-tv whore. I *heart* that show.

I must confess I love AI.
A Christmas Story is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. I watch the 24 hour marathon on TNT every year on Christmas Day.

"Fra-gee-ley, it must be French."
Italian. Must be Italian.

Am I seriously the only asshole who has NEVER seen a Christmas Story, and never wants to? I can't get into Nikki from AI. If I ever play for the other team, it's Catherine Zeta-Jones all the way.

I'm with Pinky, a reality TV-whore. Although, I don't think I have ever seen A Christmas Story from start to finish. Key parts, yes...all of it, no. *sigh*

Judi: didn't know you munched carpet
Pinky: You've NEVER seen 'A Christmas Story'??? Isn't that unAmerican? And don't get me started on Catherine Zeta Jones -- can you say OVERRATED?
Steph: plenty of people are into reality TV, but this goes beyond that, way beyond that. And if you want to see people sing other people's songs just go to a bar on karaoke night...
