It's simply not Christmas without Elvis

Vagina or clown car?

What's the deal with families having obscene amounts of children and them pimping them out on television?  It seems like everywhere I look there are shows about enormous families.  What's the purpose of these shows?  Visual birth control?  Well, it is for me at least.

There's the "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" show with the jerky wife and wimpy husband.  Don't get me started on how awful this woman is, please...

I just saw something about the Duggar family on television (they recently welcomed their 18th child - 18TH!!!).  As upsetting as it all is, the highlight of all things Duggar is that their multiple female children (and mother) are keeping the Crystal Gayle hair look alive.  So, yeah - as much as these people gross me out I've got to give them props for that.  Keep it real, Duggars.  Keep it Crystal Gayle.

"Here's comes Crystal Gayle right down Crystal Gayle Lane..."

Elsie has done it again.  Yes, she's spotted another lovely specimen of Crystal Gayle hair.  How does she keep finding them?!  

It appears this "lady" is shopping for pinatas and/or feminine hygiene products (I'll have to ask Elsie for the full poop on this photo).  Regardless of the shopping intent I think the point is clear:  Crystal Gayle hair "ladies" are just like us.  YIKES!

Hills and mu shu = two great tastes that taste great together

I'm blogging live while waiting for the season finale of The Hills (don't judge me).  LIVE!

Dan and I are sitting on the couch, eating mu shu pork and giving constant commentary on The Hills mini-marathon (e.g., Lo is dead behind the eyes, does Spencer have a job besides being Satan's minion and why is Lauren dressed like Mrs. Roper?).

How will this season end?!  In my dreams JustinBooby (typo - but I'm keeping it) and Spencer turn gay, start dating each other and join the fight for Prop 8.  And Lo just goes away.  And Audrina gets one more plastic surgery to correct her upward eye look.  And Heidi stops over-bleaching her horse mane.  And Lauren stops giving "Hello Kitty face" whenever she doesn't feel like talking.  Stay tuned, bitches...

Pups in coats, eh?

The weather has been a bit cold and/or rainy over the past few weeks (it is winter, after all).  And, yes - I wear a coat when out and about in this weather.  And while I'm out and about I keep seeing more and more pups in coats.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Pups in coats.  WTF?

What's the deal?  Is this really necessary?  I mean - the weather isn't that bad (I live in Oakland, not Fairbanks).  And dogs have fur which I thought kept them warm.  Or is that just a ruse?  And do they need raincoats?  Are they made out of sugar and will melt away if touched by a drop of rain?  

Don't get me wrong.  I love pups.  But I prefer to see pups in their natural state (with fur showing) and not in a rain slicker or shearling coat.  I'm just saying...

Heavy Metal Parking Lot? Yes, please.

I had no idea this gem existed until last night.  For reals.  If these kids weren't all speaking with atrosh Maryland accents I'd swear this was filmed in my hometown (or in nearby Concord).

Last night Elsie, Loraine and I went to Jemmy's house for pizza and movie (a classic combo, no?).  We watched Heavy Metal Parking Lot and Marie Antoinette.  Now - when I saw "watched" what I really mean is gave non-stop running commentary.  Oh, good times...

:(

My dad passed away two years ago today.  I miss him every day.
