fuck art --- i want fetussses in jars

Next weekend we're packing up the boyz and taking our first! family! roadtrip! To Philly. Ahhh, Philadelphia in November, it's what dreams are made of.  I've never been there so I've been asking around to find out what things we shouldn't miss while we're there.  So far I've got the marketplace thing where we will go and buy expensive Artesian (I know) foods, a brunch place, and what could be the holy grail/mecca of my lifetime - the Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities.

In other news, I've set my location as "surface road and interstate 93" which to my best estimation is actually a methadone clinic under a bridge.  Party time!

silas peed on my pillow.

The last time someone did that to me I gave them away.

Bugs, Celebiticians, and "Juice"

I think it would be illegal to call it juice.

Silas wasn't so sure about Hillary and to be honest the man hands put me off a bit, too.

Guy spotted this lurker in the bushes in front of the house. I had no idea praying mantises (manti?) hung in the Northeast.

i HATE the name of these things - meme

Four jobs I've had (after carefully combing through my fuzzy memories of over 30 jobs)
1. Counter person at Pick-n-Pull junkyard in Auburn, NY.
2. Dog walker for DoggieDay who I had to threaten with legal action to get my last paycheck after I quit by handing over keys to 30 different apartments in Back Bay and saying 'I'm done'.
3. Waitress at Cheers. (No! I DON'T KNOW your fucking name!!!)
4. Machine operator at Tessy Plastics. We made cell phones and plastic speculums
Four movies I can watch over and over shortened to two because I hate movies.
I make the claim that I hate movies when the truth is I really just hate the feeling of being trapped while watching them. When I sit down to watch something, usually at Guy's urging, I have mild to moderate anxiety until the plot gets going a little bit and I can decide whether or not this is really something I can commit to. After the halfway mark the anxiety gears up again and I start wondering when it's over - even if I enjoy it - and I have to check the run time. The following are no exception:
1. Beetlejuice
2. Idiocracy


Four places I have lived in no particular order.
1. Conquest, NY in an old farmhouse on 40 acres. Our mailing address was Port Byron but we were in the Weedsport school district.
2. Cortland, NY for one month until I realized I didn't want to get a job and pay my own rent so I moved back in with my parents and went back to school so I could take Tropical Field Biology (again) and go to the Cayman Islands for 3 college credits.
3. Fall River, MA. This was a shortsighted move. I chose this place before I started law school because of the price and the pet-friendliness. Six months in I was woken by the sound of a gunshot at 2am. I looked out the window and saw two dudes running down the street and the cops showed up minutes later. I moved two weeks later.
4. Boston,MA. Meh.
Four TV shows I love
1. "Morning Joe" .
2. "Maury"
3. "Project Runway"
4. "Bringing Home Baby" even though it's ALL LIES.
Four places I've vacationed
1. Grand Cayman
2. Paris
3. Toronto - all the time when I lived in Upstate NY - it's about a 3.5 hour ride.
4. Shelby,NC -Mom & Dad's house.
Four of my favorite dishes
1. Pizza made by my
chef
husband Guy.
2. Trader Joe's Jaipur Vegetables.
3. any kind of stir fry with tempeh.
4. Taco Bell cheesy bean and rice burritos.
Four sites I visit daily
1. What Would Tyler Durden Do?
2. not that you asked...
3. dooce
4. facebook
Four places I would rather be right now
1. The driver's seat of my first car - a 1973 Volvo 144
2. My senior year of high school. I could have gotten away with so much more than I did.
3. This dude's life.
4. The Frog Pond in Boston Common watching Silas splash and play with other kids.
Five people I am tagging ok maybe just Two except I'm not sure what tagging does.
1. Guy.
2. Trinity.

Let's Not Fuck This Up

i sure love john stewart


Sure, it's on comedy central, but so far no one else is doing the job of pointing out that a vote for McCain is really a vote for Bush.
