Cultural Learnings

August 5, 2007 By

Has anyone seen this movie? Boyfriend and I bought it the other night and decided to watch it. It was rude, crude, and the main character managed to offend every single person he came across. No one was safe from his offensive ignorance – women, men, children, gays, straights, Jews, Christians, Americans, other nationalities, the rodeo, southern hospitality – like I said, everyone he came across. It was a fish out of water story taken to the extreme, with hilarious results. Yes, that’s right. It was hilarious. If you can see this as a movie for pure entertainment value and have the ability to laugh at how ridiculous his stereotypes are, then you will enjoy this movie. It is pure comedic genius, and I highly recommend it to anyone who can take a joke. Boyfriend and I almost puked we were laughing so hard.

Remember the Toe

August 3, 2007 By

Remember my toe? It’s still healing. Since you all loved to see the picture of my pale blue and slightly swollen toe, I thought’ you’d really enjoy this.

There is a crack at the bottom of the black part, and once in awhile dried blood flakes out of it. I can’t wait until it grows out more and I can pick the whole black part off. I know, I’m gross. My own injuries fascinate me. Deal with it.

Happy….

August 1, 2007 By

…Birthday! Two people who I adore are celebrating birthdays, and they both happen to be redheads. First of all is my niece Messy J, who turned 8 today. Happy Birthday Messy J! Aunty misses you and I hope you like the present I sent you. Hugs and kisses!

And of course Happy Birthday to one of my best blogging friends – Macoosh!!! With your family visiting and you looking forward to another great year of studies in Ireland, I know you’ll have a wicked awesome birthday and a fabulous year.

Happy….not so much about my car. When we tried to go out Friday night, just a week after getting it out of the shop and a few hours after getting home from work, my car would not start. Boyfriend and I went to the auto parts store to get a new battery, because Boyfriend said it needed a new battery (he’s like, really smart about cars and stuff), so we put the battery in and… Nothing. Well, I got the dash lights and stuff, which were brighter than before, and the door open chime was livelier than ever, but the engine did not turn over. Tomorrow morning I need to call my new BFF Bill at Ford Country and make a date with him. After that, you should be hearing from me a bit more often because I have a few posts saved in draft mode just for you.
