NACHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Christ, I can't explain it. Maybe is has to do with Jack Black's 'stache, or the terrible fake accents, and the little fat kid. But, damn, do I love this movie.

Ted and Wally's has the best dessert EVER

2009-05-15T13:53:47-06:00

Ted & Wally's = Fantastic homemade ice cream. I drool at the mere thought.

';pl,.p,l;,. <-- That was me, wiping drool off my keyboard.

They create new flavors every day. I've had chocolate mousse, Rice Krispie Treat, Mango sorbet - although out of the many, many I've tried the best, by far, was the Lemon Custard..

;klplokokl;pol;

More drool. Sorry. I'll stop, if you just go there.

Pinky Promise.

I like to relax with hammock

2009-05-15T13:45:33-06:00

Lonely Hammock

Fruity drink, book, hammock, beach, tunes.

Is there anything better?

No. No, there is not.

Wait.. Xanax. Add Xanax, and limit fruity drink number to "1". Then take a dip in the water, and sun-dry.

Yeah, it got better.

Gimme five minutes with Someone Worth Talking To

2009-04-28T16:13:43-06:00

Truly, I care far more about real people. As in, the people who really affect my life. My family, friends, co-workers. People who, you know, matter. They're truly the ones that would deserve my 5 minutes of "What the HELL do you think you are doing with your life?!" ranting.

However.

LiLo should die. Truly.

It is rare to see someone so horribly self-abosrbed and attention hungry (Although not so in Hollywood, I suppose). The girl screwed up everything with her first drinking and drugs conviction. SHE WANTED the alcohol monitor. Then, she does it again. She starts dating a woman. When this doesn't produce the attention she feels she deserves, she decides to starve herself.

Here, bitch. Have a sandwich and a leech. The sandwich can make you look like you're finally out of Auschwitz (no offense intended, AT ALL, to the Jewish community), and the leech will give you all the attention you feel that you so sorely need.

Grow the fuck up.

Dos de Oros has good cheap eats

2009-04-27T08:36:00-06:00

WRONG!!! This map is wrong. But I suppose that makes sense, as you can't mapquest a Taco Truck.

Best, BEST, B-E-S-T tacos in the known universe. Their Carne Asada tacos would make even the Devil drool himself silly. Homemade corn tortillas, steak cooked in what must be crack-cocaine, with pico de gallo and hot sauce made with pure brimstone. The only trick is knowing which location it's at - if you're not sure, it can be harder to find then the Bermuda Triangle, but well worth the journey!

One day I'll roll in a Aston martin

2009-04-24T09:41:14-06:00

Aston Martin Vanquish S

I drool. I drool a whole lot.

This falls perfectly into my future plan to have my husband help me restore a classic car. I want to start with a '67 Aston Martin. Off-white, kid leather upholstery. A nice, icey silver/green color. Wood accents.

*droooooooooools*

If pot is legalized, I expect increases in tax revenue

2009-04-23T12:49:52-06:00

Money, Moneeey! MOOOONEEEYYYYY!!

The amount of extra revenue that would be produced from legalized and taxed marijuana sales would be enough to pull this country out of recession.

You think I'm joking? Let me explain a bit.

A true stoner will, on average, purchase $20 of pot every 2 days or so. That's $300 a month. (That's more than half of my rent.) Take 10% for taxes, because the Government can get away with that: $30 a month.

Now the Population of the United States as of July 2008 was 303,824,640 people. At a low estimate of people who currently smoke, and those who would if it were legal, I'd guess 30% of the population (Hey, I told you it was low). That's 91,147,392 people, times $30 a month = $2,734,421,760.

$2,734,421,760 A MONTH PEOPLE!! Into our dying economy, a total of $32,813,061,120 a year.

Maybe it's just me, but that amount combined with associated pot-related DUI fines would save the entire country.

It's just a thought.

Listen here, sugar

2009-04-13T11:39:26-06:00

I have big eyes. Like, very large, very funky green eyes. Long eyelashes, and all that.

I have become the master of the Sad Puppy-Dog face. When combined with my little girl "pwease hewp me" voice, I can turn my husband into a complete puddle of mush, if I try hard enough. Although, sadly, I believe he has begun to catch onto my ruse, and it's slightly less effective.

And that's when we flaunt the boobies.

Well, hell, I never claimed to play fair.

Chapstick (tm) with Moisturizer travels with me

2009-04-09T13:52:18-06:00

Chapstick (tm) with Moisturizer
Have you SEEN my lips? It looks like I got Emo and started dragging razor blades across them. Which, for the record, I did not do. Damn you, cold "spring" weather... damn you, Midwest...

"New Moon" bt Stephenie Meyer
I'm sorry. The books are good. I can't deny my bibliophile instincts just because a bunch of pre-teen weeping girls are in love with some actor portraying a vampire. I just can't.

$1.19 in change
Which, of course, is just shy of the cost of a soda in our vending machines. Blast!

Ibuprofen 800
Migraines, people. And because no one lets you zonk out on Heroin at work. Ahhh, to dream - except not really. I don't look very good when I'm emaciated.

A Hot Wheels car - '79 Nissan Fairlady
No, I do not have any sons. I just have a 25-year-old toddler that i'm married to who ll his old toy cars. And I wanted something to play with at my desk.

Giant wallet
Alas, not for holding giant amounts of money. More like holding giant amounts of business cards and my driver's license.

Keys
Keys galore - van keys, work keys, apartment keys. Gah! How I keep track of them all, I will never know.

Upstream Brewing Co. is great for drinks with an old friend

2009-04-09T13:27:18-06:00

Upstream is fantastic in that it's right in the heart of Omaha's Old Market, and brews it's own beer (and root beer!). The food is fantastic, and the bar is very relaxed - save for Huskers games. There is no such thing as a quiet bar in Omaha during a Huskers game.

A haiku about Quantum of Solace

2009-04-09T11:47:57-06:00

I love James Bond. The man, the myth, the legend of my childhood. I mean, my dad stills tries to tell me he was James Bond in a previous life. I let him live with the delusion - if only because I love the mad, old bastard.

Marijuana would set this country straight

2009-04-08T15:12:30-06:00

Screw bailouts - I have a better option. And Tommy Chong over here agrees with me, too.

Marijuana

Legalized Marijuana.

Why? Well, why the hell not?

At least then people won't be paranoid (as the only excuse against it that I - or anyone else- has ever heard). Because why would you be paranoid if it's legal? And then the 80% of the American population that use or have used it will join you, and you won't be alone in that way either.

Plus the snack food industry would skyrocket.

Then everyone can work for Little Debbie, and be happy as clams.

Here, have a doobie, brah.

Karaoke-o

2009-04-07T12:49:42-06:00

Karaoke, the Japanese word for "tone deaf". Unless my hubby does it. Talented little bastard...

Shadows of the Night by Pat Benatar

Not embarassing - I still sing this song due to the one time I "performed" it in Denver and received a standing ovation. One of my prouder moments.

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

This is a song you will NEVER embarass yourself with... alone. Put this on, and there is not a single person who will not sing along with you.

I Remember You by Skid Row

This is my and my husband's song. He can perform it like a god. I'd just do it for s&g.

Stuck in an elevator with Chuck Norris

2009-04-04T14:32:40-06:00

Chuck Norris
That elevator doesn't stand an icicle's chance in hell. Ka-POW!

Zombies!

2009-04-01T15:14:32-06:00

First, we secure duct tape. Lots and lots of duct tape. Because whether it is a leaky faucet or Zombies, duct tape will be necessary.

Second thing involves comandeering a truckload of scythes. I don't know about you, but I want a weapon perfectly designed to remove Zombie heads. Or the heads of people who get in my way. Potayto, Potahto.

Third is where I have and eyedropped full of PCP. Because when the world is overrun by zombies, why not make things interesting? That's not a zombie, IT'S A GIANT PIZZA RUNNING AFTER ME!!

Here, have a million dollars

2009-03-31T08:56:17-06:00

When I was younger, say junior high/high school age, I had really bad insomnia. I would float in and out of consciousness for the entire night, eventually drifting off to sleep around 4 or 5 in the morning - only to wake at 6 for school. Now, there aren't all that many things you can do at 4 in the morning. Especially when you live in a town the size of my pinkie, and do not have a driver's license (how I skirted insomnia once I DID have a car is far more interesting, but nevertheless is a story for another day).

So I spent a lot of time thinking - usually things of no consequence, but I always seemed to come back to "What if I had 1/5/10/30 million dollars?". At which point I would proceed to make detailed lists of whom all I wanted to bestow upon this wonderous gift, and how much were they worth to me.

As of right now, I am keeping $200,000 for my little family. I want a house, and a second car, and some money for the baby's (eventual) college fund. From here we donate $200,000 to my dad, because I owe him AT LEAST this much for taking care of my expensive butt from the time I was born till I was about 23. $100,000 to my cousin/godmother for the same reason.

Okay. Half gone. Where to next...

Oh yeah! $50,000 each to my niece/goddaughter and nephew for school, or to slack off for a year in Europe, which ever is more appealing. $100,000 donated to the Public School System of Detroit, which has been ripped and blasted apart, ThankYouKwameKilpatrickYouBastard. $25,000 to each of my four brothers (although one of them will just spend it at the race track, but alas. 'Tis not for me to decide how they spend their gifts.)

$800,000 down, $200,000 more to go.

We'll do $20,000 for each of my 5 sibling-in-laws. Because they have more money to begin with (bastards - j/k).

And screw it - that last $100,000? Play-money. Mama's going shopping.

You Demanding Little Snot..

A 100,000 acre Big Cat Reserve in Northern Michigan
I like Northern Michigan. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world, especially come fall. And I want to be able to breed the "Liger".

12 Ferraris in different shades of Brown and Orange
Is there any way to make a Ferrari ugly? I plan to find out.

The Head of the guy in the ShamWow commercials
Because seriously, dude. You need to quit that. ASAP.

Istanbul
I want to change the name to "Constantinople", just to piss off the people who finally got used to calling it "Istanbul".

A Husband who can breastfeed for me at 2 AM
Ahh, to dream.

My bucket list starts with: Backpack through Europe

2009-03-27T11:41:21-06:00

I am a girl of simple tastes and means. I am to be something bigger than I am.

Backpack through Europe
Because, come on. Who doesn't want this kind of adventure? I want a backpack with 5 outfits, and bathroom essentials, a EuroPass, and enough money to get 1 cheesy, tacky gag gift from each place I visit.

Skydive over Death Valley
I have never been to California, and I think a fantastic way to visit is to simply fall into within it's border from 10,000 feet in the air. Plus, if I were to die in the attempt, I think this would be a fairly appropriate place to do so.

Be an extra in a James Bond movie
I love Bond. LOVE BOND. I need say no more.

Swim with the Great Whites
Luckily, my husband is 178% intent on this being something we do. As long as I am in a cage, I would love nothing more than to be within inches of a creature as incredible as a Great White shark.

Storm-Chase a Tornado
A ravaging, destructive, massive force of nature needs to be catalogued as such. And I want to do it once, just for myself. Feel the fury bear down on me, and live to tell the tale.
