♥ Poppy ♥

UPDATE: I BOUGHT THE SHIRT! WOOT!



Baby-doll style in hot pink. LOVE IT!

Georgie's pissed

And rightfully so. Today marks the start of the construction on our house. In addition to several maintenance bits and bobbles, we're having a porch put on the full length of the front of our house. We're very excited. We can have porch parties this summer! But, that means the cats are locked away in the master suite and they don't much care for being locked up in anything except the entire house.

Georgie even went so far as to give me the proverbial finger this morning:



(Of course I got a shot of her bumhole when I was quickly trying to get a shot of her puffy tail before it deflated. Oh well.)

I'm a search engine superstar!

Look! Look! I'm #1!



Okay, so technically #2 since there is an advertisement above the search results, but in the actual search results section I'm at the top, on page 1, out of almost 2.9 million hits! That's nuts!

Thanks to Lucy for challenging me to figure out what that the name of that video is. :)

Warm weather remembrances - bug edition

Joanne, if you're still reading the blog, I apologize for bugginess in advance.



Update: Joanne is still reading the blog, as is evident by her word cloud, but she is on vacation. I have left her a comment warning her about the moth's return.

Creeeeeeepy

You Are The Hermit

You posses a great deal of wisdom and the ability to see people for who they are. You are always looking ahead at the future, developing visions. A loner, you tend to travel by yourself through life, seeking your own truth. You don't crave material things or fancy titles. You have no baggage. Your fortune: It's possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you. All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice. It's also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life. Either way, there's some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon.

What Tarot Card Are You?

All I did was tell it my name and it pegged me. Thanks to B for cuing the Twilight Zone music for me. ;)

My hero

Bryan has fixed my commenting problem which took commenters to whichever part of the page the original post had been on*. All I needed was a valign="top". Thanks, Bry! You've got my vote for 2020. :)


*Correction: The code brought us to the middle of the page when clicking for a permalink or a comment. Either way, valign="top" has done the trick!

Maman + Poppy = 2 peas in a pod

Brainy Kid

In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab. You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you're a total success!

Who Were You In High School?

That was totally me in high school. Good to know that was Maman, too!

Attu wants you

Attu is collecting desktops. I just sent mine:


(click to see all of desktop)


Help a brother out (that'd be Attu) and send yours? Awesome. Good karma. ;)

Guess who

C'mon, you know who he is. I promise.

O captain, my captain part deux*

Natalie, you know I love you, especially when you rap, so I mean this in only the kindest way: You look like you're a crew member on the Starship Enterprise.


(Thanks, Danielle!)

Part one is here.

Office Olympics

Do you know how pissed I would be if someone played Office Olympics on my desk?* Since these desks are not mine, I find it hysterical:



I love the rowing at the end, and the fact that no one in the office looks up. (Definitely staged, but I don't mind.)

*I'd be super überpissed, in case you were wondering.

The hotness

Lil' Kim featuring Phil Collins - In the air tonite


Cred for linking: Popbytes (hi MK! xoxo)

Hay thinks there should be more Phil and less Lil' Kim. I think there she be less Biggie. I also am wondering how the f she has this new video out when she's been in jail for a while now. Did she really film it before going in and it took this long to get the song out, or has this been out for a while? Or...? Must be old. MK does say the video wasn't released in the States. Alright* already, I'll buy that.

I know some of you purists get spiteful and itchy when people use alright instead of all right, but in this case you'll just have to be itchy and spiteful because I'm not going to stop using it. :P

I was not arrested.

In case you were curious. But, I did have a slightly severe tantrum in the procedure room of the doctor's office and ended up not having my back injection. I am somewhat relieved, because I'm just terrified of needles, and of the two weeks after the injection where I flare up, but I may have just prolonged the inevitable. We'll see. My meds have been changed.

Oh, wait, did you come here to find out what's going on in my life, or did you come here for fun? Cuz, I've got the fun. Here, have some fun:

PENTAGON PLANS CYBER-INSECT ARMY.

The Pentagon's defence scientists want to create an army of cyber-insects that can be remotely controlled to check out explosives and send transmissions. The idea is to insert micro-systems at the pupa stage, when the insects can integrate them into their body, so they can be remotely controlled later.

The objects to be implanted are specific micro-systems which, when the insect is fully developed, could allow it to be remotely controlled or sense certain chemicals, including those in explosives. (Presurfer)

Restaurant overdoes it once again, with 15-pound burger

It foiled even the doughnut-eating champion of the world.

Concocted by the chefs at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, the burger might help the pub defend its Guinness Book of World Records status as the restaurant with the world's biggest hamburger.

Denny's big burger lineup includes a 2-pounder, a 3-pounder and a 6-pounder.

If you can eat the 6-pounder in under three hours, you get the burger for free, along with a commemorative T-shirt and your names on a wall of fame. So far, the only winner has been a 100-pound female college student.

But owners thought a 15-pound burger would attract more customers and be a good option for families, parties and anyone who up for a challenge. (Attu)

And, last, but not least, Perez Hilton was published in Paper magazine as one of the beautiful people.



I love the photo, he's in his skivvies (teehee :).

Hmm, I might be arrested later.

I just went up behind the director of my department, stuck my index finger to his back and said, “gimme all your salad or I'll kill you!” There were no witnesses, so I guess it'd be his word against mine, except if the police read this blog? Oh well. Hi, Police! I love your shoes!

Let's try wearing some shoes, shall we?

Borkowski Celebrity reports:

Britney Spears had to be rushed to hospital after treading on a hypodermic needle.

The pop babe - who is on holiday in Hawaii - had stepped out of her car without shoes on when she trod on the discarded implement in a parking lot. The panic-stricken star was taken to Hawaii State Hospital, but tests showed the needle was unused. A source is quoted as saying: "Britney is going to be fine. She's got a nasty cut but it's been disinfected and dressed and she's been released from hospital.”

Dumbass.

Zai jian, Melissa! (or, not)

Voted out of Idol top 12: Melissa.



The other two bottom three: Ace (sure) and Lisa (que la f?!).

holy feck*!

3D sidewalk art!!!!!!! I don't really need to say anymore than that. It speaks for itself.

But, just to make you go visit for more here are a few samples:

*Rest in peace, “Father Ted” Dermot Morgan.

“You don't know me!!!”

BelchSpeak rehashes:

Until yesterday, it seemed that Dwana Carter, formerly of the 5th ward of New Orleans, and currently in temporary residence in Arlington, VA, was assured of a conviction in her jury case of assault and grand theft.

However, due to a brilliant performance by her Attorney and Pastor, Reverend Doctor J. Armitage, Esq, Dwana was found not guilty on all charges and was released to a cheering family. “That’s right, that’s right,” Carter was heard after the verdict was released, “I TOLD you so!”

Dwana Carter was charged in the November 14th shoplifting theft of hundreds of dollars of merchandise from the TJ Maxx discount department store in midtown Arlington and the subsequent assault and battery of a store clerk who attempted to subdue Carter when she attempted to leave the store without paying for her merchandise.

Despite videotaped evidence and several eyewitnesses who described Carter as fat, bossy and mean, the jury found Carter not guilty.

The Not-Guilty verdict is most likely due to the brilliant legal maneuvering of Carter’s Pastor and personal lawyer, J. Armitage, who employed the “You don’t Know Me” strategy to secure his clients acquittal. To counter the damaging evidence and eyewitness accounts that had staggered his client, Armitage boldly asked his own client, Dwana Carter to take the stand in her own defense.

When Artmitage asked Carter what she had to say to the six eye witnesses that allegedly watched her shoplift and assault the clerk, Carter declared, “They don’t know me! I don’t do shit like that! And you members of the jury- who are you to judge me? You don’t know me! You better check yourselves before you judge me!”

After thirty minutes of deliberations, the jury returned a not-guilty verdict to the court.

After the trial, Dwana Carter was asked if she would return the merchandise that the cameras clearly showed her removing from the premises. Carter replied, “Only if they give me store credit.”

Good stuff, good stuff. :)
