Awww Man, I've Been Really Bad.

Three posts in August...what can I say, summer has been full of outdoorsy activities..Come winter I promise I will be blogging like mad again in my jammies. I'm sorry.

Because A Murder Isn't Interesting News Anymore

MJ, remember the time when you were awesome?

From nbcchicago.com:

The Pharaoh of Pop doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as King of Pop, but visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum could swear that’s Jacko’s face on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust.

The spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Jacko --- complete with disfigured nose.

Unfortunately the bust, which was carved sometime between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C., is of a woman and MJ likely never had the chance to see the statuette.

“I have no idea whether Jackson ever visited the museum,” a Field spokesperson said to the Sun-Times' Michael Sneed. “But the similarity between the limestone statue of a woman – which is about 3,000 years old --- and Jackson is astounding.”

Interestingly, Jackson cast himself as an interloper in ancient Egypt in his video for “Remember the Time,” so maybe he sensed some Egyptian roots.

Overdressed Much?

Why does she look like she's going to a dinner party instead of watching her hubs play football? Jeez.

Colors Everywhere!

Another attempt at photography :p

Suddenly, I'm Okay With Not Being Online All The Time

Been busy with work. Summer is upon us, and there is so much to do that doesn't involve being online all the time. I'm okay with it. Trying to knit these Rodarte-inspired tights
and just got myself a cool pair of cowboy boots. I laughingly tell Mr. Bex that I'm way behind on fashion trends. I'm cool with it. Watched American Hardcore for the first time last night. Got a small insight on Mr. Bex's musical influences. Pretty cool shit, although hardcore punk isn't really my cup of tea. Trying to photograph cool things on my lil' point-and-shoot. Thrifting. Reading a lot. Drinking a hell of a lot of coffee/chocolate syrup. Trying to live life to the fullest. I effing love Sister Wolf! She's my new writing inspiration! Did I say that I got a cool new pair of cowboy boots?

Seriously.

So I'm doing laundry right, and minding my own business..I've been doing my laundry at the laundromat across the street from my apartment building for like I dunno, 6 years now, and once in a while some moron would try to chat me up or whatever, which makes me very uncomfortable, but whatever, if I ignore them enough, they'd go away. Which they do like 95% of the time. But today, I'm in a good mood, the sun is shining, it's like 65 degrees out, and all I wanna do is get my laundry done before work. And there are these two men there, also doing their laundry. I'm used to people staring at me, I don't know why, it's not like I'm a super knockout babe or whatever, but my tattoo probably has something to do with it, whatever. Like people have never seen a tattoo before. So they're staring at me, making comments in Spanish and one of them comes close to look at my tattoo without as much as a polite "Can I look at your tattoo" or whatever. Rude as!! So this whole time I'm getting more and more pissed because they're being morons, and I'm getting more and more uncomfortable, I mean, can't a person do their laundry in peace anymore? So I march up to the one guy and say (clearly and loudly, in case they miss the point), "You know it's really rude to stare at people, right?" I mean, seriously! And he gets taken aback, because no woman has ever talked back to him probably, being the male chauvinist pig he probably is. First he gets embarrassed because I call him out on his rudeness, and then he gets all pissy and starts swaggering about like HE'S ALL THAT! What-EVER! I am sick of being ogled at like a piece of meat...how would you like it if your mother/sister/daughter is leered at disrespectfully...I didn't think so. If I'm sounding defensive, I am because I have a right to, because I'm sick of disrespectful men that live in my neighborhood. You might behave that way to the women in your country, but you ain't in (insert country here, in case it's not PC) anymore, dude. Behave yourself. Oh, and they never apologized either.

Feigning!!

It's past midnight and I'm about to eat this dulce de leche cheesecake!! Just thought I'd let my peeps know I am still alive!! Even after 4 12-hour days in a row at work. Have a good Sunday bitches!

Apologies...

..for the recent half-assed and infrequent posting, I have been extra busy at work (minor crisis) and all I want to do in my spare time is go on Facebook and Twitter! But as soon as work stuff is covered I will be back to my (semi) regular posting!! But for now I leave you with this song by The Postal Service which describes perfectly what I want to do, most Sundays!

Brown Recluse Spider = Scary!

So at Mr. Bex's urging I googled the brown recluse spider bite and the first picture that popped up will definitely give me nightmares. Necrotic tissue surrounds the site of the bite and if not treated immediately you will die!!! How scary is that!!! Unfortunately I have seen first hand what a brown recluse spider bite looks like in the early stages, a friend who shall remain nameless got bit under the armpit (twice) and I can't tell you how gross it was trying to get all the puss-mixed with-blood out of the swollen bite area. Nasty! I won't post the photo that came up when I googled "brown recluse spider" because I am so grossed out by it myself. Google it yourself and tell me what you think. Scary shit.

Hurry The Hell Up And Get Out Of The Way!

Felt like doing this today

So I was at Filene's Basement today, and I have one itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny item to pay for at the cash register, and I was behind this chick who cut in line in front of me. Well, no big deal, right? Until she started bitching that one of the jackets she's buying was too expensive ($699.00) as opposed to the price she thought it was ($299.00). And she started haggling with the cashier! Where TF does she think she was, at a fucking bazaar/flea market/boot sale? Put the damn thing down and get on with it, girlie, it's not as if it's a great-looking piece to begin with! God damn! I'm just trying to pay for a fucking bra (Calvin Klein microfiber, way cheaper here than online)! You can tell the cashier was trying to not snap her head off!!

Got off the Pink Line and headed to Mickey D's on 18th Street, and the place was full!!! I was just trying to get a sweet tea, for crying out loud, and had to wade through a gaggle of kiddies and their moms buying like 15 Happy Meals! I kid you not!! On top of that, people do not have the courtesy to step the fuck back from the counter after they order...Jesus Christ! Back the fuck up!! Grrrr....

People make me so mad!!

I Feel An Illness Coming On...

My throat is sore, I'm coughing, I'm cold, and hot tea isn't helping. Brilliant. Time to hit Web MD!

Now And Then

Opening paragraph from Philippa Gregory's The Other Queen:

"Every woman should marry to her own advantage since her husband will represent her, as viable as her front door, for the rest of her life. If she chooses a wastrel she will be avoided by all her neighbors as a poor woman, catch a duke and she will be Your Grace, and everyone will be her friend. She can be pious, she can be learned, she can be witty and wise and beautiful, but if she is married to a fool she will be "that poor Mrs. Fool" until the day he dies."

No thoughts related to this post, the statement just hit me in the face. Just substitute wastrel with drunkard/wife beater/loser and duke with celebrity/athlete/millionaire and there you have it.

Favorite Blog I Just Found

Aw, the people behind this blog are hilarious.

It's Crackalicious And I'm An Addict

This stuff is so good!!! And by this stuff I mean Thai iced tea! So many times Mr. Bex and I have sipped this sweet nectar from the Far East and declared it to be crackalicious...yes, it's good. I have never found out how to make this delicious drink, mostly we just order it when we eat at our favorite Asian restaurant Cozy (...damn that delicious golden noodles...) or Joy Yee Noodles but a couple of days ago one of my bosses at work brought in the special black tea and I got so excited I forgot to do any work. And he gave me the stash that he had with him!! The first time I brewed the tea, it wasn't strong enough and so did not have the usual radioactive orange color so characteristic of Thai iced tea. Next time I will do better!!! Add a dash of evaporated milk and some ice....man, this drink rivals a tall glass of sweet lemonade on a hot summer's day!! Except it's not summer yet and it was like 40 degrees out, but you know what I mean...It's crackalicious!! Everyone should try it at least once!

Have A Good Sunday!!

This Sunday's gratuitous booty shot comes to you courtesy of Kickette.com. Enjoy. But not too much!!

Wtf???? It's customary to exchange jerseys after a footie game, but AS Roma's

Daniele De Rossi takes it to another level...

More!

Last time I went to check out More Cupcakes' website, it was still under construction. Now it's up, and it's actually little more than an order form. I really need to check the place out, it's but a stone's throw away from my job....reviews to follow...

Have I Ever Mentioned That I Hate Adam Sandler?

Like, with a passion. Absolutely cannot stand him. The other day one of his crap movies or another came on the tv and I mentioned to Mr. Bex, "God, I fucking hate Adam Sandler. He sucks." Which might be a lame argument for hating someone but come on, "Opera Man"? Fucking not funny at all. His movies suck. Little Nicky? Puh-leese. Billy Madison? Happy Gilmore? You Don't Mess With The Zohan? Pure inane drivel. Garbage, pretty much. Somebody shoot me if I'm ever forced to sit through an Adam Sandler movie.

Also I hate Rob Schneider, but that's another story.

So now I'm gonna balance all that hate with a bit of love. I love these boots! I think they're Chloe and probably cost like $5,000. But they're fucking ace, no doubt about that!
