thanks everyone.

Just so you know I'll soon be leaving Live Journal and joining the Movable Type family. The good thing is that I will have a lot more control of this here blog, the bad thing is that when I downloaded my archive I couldn't get the comments to come along. (if you know how to do it, can ya let me in??? Jim??? anyone???)

But don't worry, when I do the switch I'll post a link here for you. More later.

I love the Haunted Mansion. I love the Haunted Mansion. I LOVE THE HAUNTED MANSION.....

but I do NOT need yet another crafty project. and where would I put it?

OK, so here is what I want.

You know those non-skid mat things that you put in the shower? I want one that has either a strip of pumice or a section of some other sandpaper like substance in it. The way I see it, you could stand in the shower and and rub your foot back and forth on the rough spot and get rid of all those dead skin cells while waiting for your conditioner to work. (I am forver forgetting to use my little pumice stone)

That should work, right?

So my hubby and I had this brilliant idea while we were driving idea home tonight. You know how there are WAY too many big ole SUVs (aka 4 wheel drives) on the roads here on Australian roads driven by smug suburban Mums? Well, I figured there has to be a way to get up their collecive nose.

So here is the plan. I am going to import the first Hummer to Sydney (for the Americans, no, we don't have them here) , I am going to paint it hot pink then paint a huge adultshop.com.au ad across both sides, the top, and maybe even the back window.(hummer, adult shop, get it?) I figure the sight of it will send the soccer Mums set just bonkers. Think about it. It IS an SUV, something they love, and the fact that it will actually be even bigger than their automobile, HA! But the fact that, gasp, it will be advertising S.E.X, yikes. Can't you just see me driving this big ass beast to work? Oh, it would be just brilliant.

Now if I can just figure out how to install solar panels onto it (I don't want to burn all that fuel after all).....AND get adultshop.com.au to pay for it....

Kelly, hey, listen, I have seen your new video and I think we need to have a chat, woman to woman. 5 words for you: "step away from the stylist". (LOOK AT YOURSELF,OK?) Now I know the retro 80's thing is all in and whatever, but take my word for it, this whole trashy Stevie Nicks/Prince/Madonna-wannabe look is not doing you any justice. Really. I'm sure you are just trying to break out of that whole 'girl next door' image and that's fine and we get it, you have an 'edge' but you are about three awards shows away from dressing (or UNdressing) like Lil Kim. Think about it....

Where are the gals from Go Fug Yourself when you need them?

(I just have to add that I don't normally even sit through an entire Kelly Clarkson video, but that outfit just grabbed my attention when it came on the other day. I thought it was a joke. Come on, you have to admit she looks silly. I'm going to go put on some Chemical Brothers or Dead Kennedys or something to cleanse myself)

1. Does anyone have a recipe for Hawaiian bread that doesn't involve a bread maker? I've had a hankerin' for it and Australians just look at me funny when I ask about it.

2. I'm sure I remember a few of these strange old McDonald ads...the one with the dancing waste bins seems familiar. And is it just me or is Larry the lead cop from Law and Order SVU? Maybe it is just me....(link from my bro)

3. I don't know what freaks me out most about this video. The fact that the puppet's mouth doesn't match up with the singing, the overuse of weird wipes and fade outs, the bizarre set or the fact that they are all, well, INSANE! I mean really, is this whole thing meant to get little kids into their religion or give them nightmares? Really? (link from Snarky)
