men in tights?

Mikhail Baryshnikov is awesome.


the music makes me laugh because the guy singing sounds like he has a permanent belch going on. *sings like russian guy in video*

Was watching the movie that this came from (White Nights) yesterday because it was on tv and holy crap. He was stretching in this one scene- dude was standing on one leg, with the other leg pressed up parallel on the wall pointed upwards. I was like WHOA if i could bend like that I wouldn't be going to physical therapy right now.

Why am I posting about a Russian when it's St Patricks day? Protestants wear orange so apparently everyone in the US is Catholic. Very scary.

fuck you south pas

apparently not having a front license plate merits a $77 ticket. wow. that is just fucking stupid. I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR GODDAMN YEARS AND NOW YOU GIVE ME A TICKET???? HOW ABOUT, I DONT KNOW, GIVING THOSE ASSHOLES WHO RUN STOP SIGNS TICKETS. THAT WOULD BE A NOVEL IDEA. WOW. SERIOUSLY. AND HOW ABOUT FIXING OUR ROADS, BECAUSE MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY GO TO OUR STUPID FUCKING RETARDED 'BOUTIQUE' SHOPS, BECAUSE THEIR CARS WONT BREAK DOWN FROM FALLING INTO A GIANT POT HOLE.

FUCK YOU. how about giving a ticket to someone who HAS A JOB.


UGH.

can't think of a title

Daylight savings can suck it. >_<

Don't get me wrong, I like there being more light, but I have an Eastern exposure in my bedroom window and sun at wee hours of the morning just really isn't fun for someone who takes sleeping pills and is a light sleeper.

I still really like 'Definitely, Maybe' if only for the fact that it has good people. It is a chick flick verging on family storytime but it has Isla Fisher and Kevin Kline so therefore it can't suck.

I got new shoes!!!!! Yay new running shoes!! Not that I'm running in them yet because my knee is all retarded and I don't think my physical therapist would advise any running at the moment. But I can't WAIT to go running again now that I've got new shoes. Not being able to run these past few months has been horribly difficult to deal with. I know I really only started running last July/August on a regular basis but it became a huge part of my life once I started. Once I had to stop because of my own negligence/ego/??.... we won't go there because it's negative.

I miss my kitty again a lot lately on and off. It's been over four years since he died but sometimes it feels like just yesterday. I love my other cat who is still alive but I never had the bond with him that I had with my other cat. Spooky was my pet, he was my birthday present from my parents when I was 10 years old. We bonded even he though he was out of his mind sometimes. He got calmer as he got older and that made it easier, but I always felt like he actually understood more than most cats seem to. It doesn't make much sense unless you knew him... he was more human in his later years than some humans seem to be. Anyway, I miss the little bastard and I wish he were curled up on the bed with me right now.

cheers,

someday

cash for gold aka the biggest scam EVER.


Someday I will have a Porsche. Someday. I will also be in the wedding of someone I know and not wear ugly glasses that make me look like a frumpy old woman. There will be Oscar de la Renta involved in my wardrobe, more than my one lonely pair of Manolo Blahniks, and a walk-in closet.

Someday my insomnia will not be an issue because I will learn to cope without sleeping pills. I will run a marathon for the first time and many times following. I will bust my ass to become an elite runner and never let injuries kill my morale. If I get married, I won't have a cake: instead I'll have Magnolia Bakery cupcakes.




Golden Girls is still awesome, peanut butter sucks, and I don't care what anyone says about Sarah Jessica Parker because they're just jealous of being that frigging fabulous.

enough with the loggers!

i read a story this morning about a 70 year old woman whose purse was stolen and she chased after the thief to get it; caught up with the teenage girl who stole her purse because she was an ex track star! how awesome is that? imagine what usain bolt could do if he were faced with criminals!!

question:
What the heck is with the tv shows about loggers???? Do we really need to have that filth on tv? I don't know if I speak for everyone when I say that I dont want to watch shows where rednecks bitch and moan about how hard their environmental raping of a job is. Please take the logger shows off tv. It started with you know, semi-normal 'reality' shows on the cable networks about crap like ice road truckers and stuff like that. Now we have assholes cutting down 400 year old redwoods. What's next, a show where we watch Sarah Palin and Joe the Plummer kill wolves and endangered species from helicopters? Or how about a show where we watch Canadians kill baby seals? Because it's getting there with these goddamn logger shows.

I rest my case. And I plan on communicating how fucked up those shows are to the networks. I know we all use paper and tree-related products but jesus christ I recycle and I reuse and compost and drive a small car. I organized a protest with HSUS against the seal extermination in Canada. If I had a job or just massive amounts of random money I would probably donate most of it to various environmental/animal related charities.

Stop building frigging log cabins and maybe shows about loggers will go away. Buy bamboo products!!

80 year old grease

stingy old republicans on the verge of death with no plans to do anything with their money might as well just deep fry the benjamins and eat them with the fat people in texas. i mean the people who weigh 500+ pounds i.e. super morbidly obese.

in that vein, i'd like to state that i don't support anyone getting gastric bypass surgery. fucking lose it the old fashioned way like everybody else. eat like a sensible human being and stop blaming mcdonald's for your vast girth. you can make the choice not to eat like shit and don't tell me otherwise. i'm sorry but my tax dollars shouldn't be going toward 'patient advocacy' for an 1800 pound man to get his stomach removed so he can lose weight. i lost twenty five pounds by getting off my ass and not eating cake. show some fucking backbone.


ladron que a roba ladron (?) is a fucking hilarious movie. there's a dude in it named Primitivo.


lol.

um, for Valentine's Day I'd like to receive Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale and Bear Grylls on my doorstep to take me to Istanbul and fan me with palm fronds. And some See's Bordeaux chocolates. mmmm chocolates.


golden girls time!
