The body & blood of Christ compels you!

This weekend my little nephew (Beastos) is getting baptized this Saturday & I get to be his blessed Godmother. Now as the Godmother, I have stuff I have to get for the ceremony. Greek Orthodox is very similar to Catholicism but just a little more ornate at times. Our priests can marry & instead of just putting the water on the baby’s head, we dunk the little ones in a big holy tub. I am supposed to supply candles, a cross & olive oil amongst other things. I went out this weekend & found him a pretty little gold cross. Very simple, but in a neat shape. There were a couple of crosses where it had a dead Jesus on a anchor. I almost got him one of those. Not sure if the priest would’ve found it as funny as I did. I know my brother would’ve. Second, my mom keeps on asking me if I’ve “gotten the olive oil”. I have olive oil. I have lots of olive oil. Even if I have no food in the house, I always have olive oil. I’m Greek for f*cks sake. This morning one of my aunts emails me to ask “Do you have the olive oil”? Seriously, Greek or not, I don’t know very many people who don’t have olive oil in their kitchen. F*ckin’ olive oil…

No time for love, Dr. Jones

Really busy here at work, but I thought I would just say hello to everyone & ask if anyone else has the "Target" problem. Why can't I go into Target & get what I came there to get without getting $70 in more stuff than I need. I really think it is impossible. I can't just go in & get cat food. Nope, I gotta spend close to $80. Why oh why?

What A Wonderful World

I think it is great being alive in this day & time. I was able to shop for groceries & listen to Peaches "Lovertits" at the same time. How rad is that?!?!?!?!

PS II & grownup stuff...

Well, I know that Valentines was yesterday, but my love affair started on Sunday when I met my new love.... I met him at Fry's. He is tall, dark & handsome. His name is "Playstation 2". He was kinda expensive, but oh so worth it. I've been up late "playing" with him. I get home from work & I grab him & hold him tight & press all his buttons. I think he's the one. I can't wait to see him again!

Today I get to give my first interview for a potential employee. I am going to throw out "staff", "unit" & "member" & combinations there of to see if they giggle or I do. Good times!

Funny, a blog not about my butt..

I got an Ipod Nano for X-mas from my mom. It’s a 4GB & holds roughly 1,000 songs. Now I thought this would be enough for me when I go on my trip, but now that I have only half of my music collection that I deem necessary & even those are select songs, my little Ipod is full. I have a huge stack of cds that need to be burned, but no room. For the last 2 weeks I have been going through my Ipod & deleting songs that may not be necessary. Can I see myself running to catch a train in some eastern European country listening to Depeche Mode’s “Something to do”? Yes, yes I can. That is the problem. How much Depeche Mode is enough? Do I really need 20 songs? I already cut down my Cure list to 5 from about 3 albums & that isn’t including “Disintegration” which is my favorite. It already hurt to cut down my Tori Amos list. Next on the chopping block is Billie Holliday. Do I really need 15 songs from her? Yes, Yes I do…. Damn..

“So he starts to beat the children with the small Asian lady.”

If you a strong stomach & a sick sense of humor, you have to see “The Aristocrats”. The best documentary EVER!!!

Last night I was too tired to cook so I opened a little can of corn nibblets & added some salt & pepper & went to town on it. A half of an hour latter I was hungry still so I went to get a bowl of cereal. I didn’t have anymore soy milk, so I looked to see what I could use instead of Soy milk because I really wanted the cereal. I had a can of Slim Fast… Hmmm… Kinda like milk. So I dump my grape nuts into a bowl & soak them with Slim Fast. Tasted just fine, but this morning my a** is exploding corn & grape nuts. I really believe it is the Slim Fast’s fault. NEVER mix cereal with Slim Fast….

Cat fight


Yesterday morning on my way to work, I saw a girl fight in front of Dennys. It wasn't a very violent fight. Just a lot of slapping & hair pulling. I was a bit dissapointed, but hey, it was 7:30 am & a crappy fight is better than no fight. Not as fun as a bum fight, but still fun none the less....
