Sure.  If you want to make an ass out of yourself and work out dressed as a slippery zebra, I suppose that is alright, but won’t you sweat your ass off?  Won’t you sweat it off 5 seconds after fighting a small WAR just to get the damn thing on?



Top 5 Concerns about being a “cocktail waitress”
September 2, 2009, 3:32 am
Filed under: ackahol, beer, chillin today, fashion, scotch

1) I will run into one of my students.  Fuck that.

2) Having to carry a heavy tray of drinks while wearing heels.

3) Consequently spilling beer on a ‘patron’ or whatever.

4) What if I get grossed?

5) Well, they’re not allowed to hug me unless they tip me $300.  I wish that I were kidding.  The interviewing manager instructed me on this.

I have to wear BLACK SLACKS, I don’t get it, but whatever.  Why can’t I this?:

Okay, the one on the right is too extreme, but the one on the left is better than black fucking slacks.  I stuffed the fuck out of my bra for the interview, and I haven’t put up recent pics lately, but I lost about 10 elbows since then and I’m just going to stuff my fucking bra.

Hey fuckers, how are you?  I’m pissed because I have to do actual work today (grading and fixing class website and shit.)

My mom has some fucked up taste in shoez.  Look at this shit:

WTF is that.  No really, what is that.  How does one walk in those things?  My nose feels broken just thinking about it.

Yes, that is a can of chicken broth on my couch.  That’s just how I roll, son.  Chicken soup better be up on that couch by time I get home.

Do these shoes make me look more like a douchebag or a fucktard

Contrary to the pug’s extreme rudeness, my feet do not stink.  From the “Melissa” (shoe brand) website:

“A few years ago, to add to the melissa experience, the decision was made to infuse all melissa shoes with a sweet bubblegum smell. ”

K so the answer is obviously douchebag.  Well anyway, here’s this:

The Reasons I Have Not Been Blogging!  :(!

1) I had the Black Lung for 3 weeks, and so was unable to sleep on my right side.

2) Excessive staring (like most things, best done in moderation).

3) Been playing Wii Bowling so much that I have developed a rash on my throwing-arm.  I admit this to you in confidence, so you are legally prohibited from making fun.

 

And now, Questions For My Twat Tacos:  

      a) What is the best movie/show you have seen in the past few?

      b) What is the most embarrassing?

1) Find a napkin

2) Put it on

3) Pick out some weird shoes (key for distracting your question-asking opponents)

If you’re out of napkins, something like this’ll do:

That’s right.  I just set women back 50 years.  Tell me something new.

Dudes I have a doc appointment today, because I have pneumonia and I’m probably going to die.  I decided it this morning.  I swear there is fluid in my LUNGZ.

Only doc who would see me today is Creepy Large Samoan Man Doc who’s really into poking, prodding, and breathing on me.   I foresee a Rape Shower this afternoon.

So I ended up getting the blue shoes, they’re biodegradable like my red ones and I like to pretend that is why I bought them.  They’re like ineffective rain boots, so that’s cool?  Robert, Yipany, Master & Commander of Napkins, and Jen, you might wanna close your eyes now.

Shit just gets WAY too real in there.  Thrice I have been privy to things of which I shall not speak.   Talk about the clinical definition of awkward.  I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a guy, standing next to your boss at the urinal while both of you hold your thingies?  Do you feel obligated to make small talk?  :(

So I made a “What I Wore” feed over to the left, because IT NEVER ENDS, DOES IT.  ”Vainglorious” redirects to here .  Apparently God and I are getting a divorce (on the grounds of my forsaking him for my own image, always with the forsaking.)

Well I do not care.  THEY WILL BE MINE.  I am so super-cereal.  I just don’t know what to wear them with.  A really shiny trash bag?  

J. K.’s.  I’ll find something.  Unrelatedily, I’ve decided to start chronicling all food items that enter my mouth each day.  There’s a page for it here at .What.I.Ate.Today., and it’s linked to on the sidebar.

The upper-middle class mothers are up in arms because:

a) the grossly inequitable distribution of world resources

b) Darfur

c) their beautiful (nope) pics of exposed breast with baby mouth attached were removed from facebook.  

uhh

The answer is neither “a” nor “b”, but this is making NATIONAL NEWS.  They are fucking *pissed*, even thought it does violate facebook TOS to display your areola.  The pic above does not even display full-on breasticle, so it is actually acceptable (as the term applies to legal sensibilities, not my own, yikes).  But IT IS NOT ENOUGH.  ”I MUST SHOW THE FULL-ON ACTION.”

Breast-feeding is good for baby.  I don’t know if being punched in the face with a pic like this of a friend on facebook is going to change anyone’s mind about the topic.  

*Granted, I have complained (as I was reminded by Sir Robert) about “My BANGZ needing to get the shit out my FACE”, and other such nonsense, but I’m not sitting on my living room floor and petitioning to have my post-preggo boob shoved in someone’s face.  Maybe I’m just angsty today.  I have to give an hour-long-talk for work on a really hard topic this Friday, and I’m concerned because as of today, I DON’T GET IT.  Not even a little bit.  Hopefully I will be fired?

Filed under: chillin today, fashion, trips

Don’t fuckin’ ask me.  I dunno:

awesomebook

I even read the entire inside here?  And it’s on pre-order until January wtf?  It’s actually pretty great, considering my reading level is on par with that of a 3rd grader, but was it necessary for me to purchase the hardcover???  The grad school salary literally puts me under the federal poverty line.  [Side note: my former 40-something boss once told me she "blacked out the other night" and "apparently ordered the Billy Joel Special Edition Box Set."]

**BREAKING NEWS** Yipany just delivered to me the ultimate, and ALSO a pair of shoes that defy the awesomeness of your mom.  Pics of those to come soon, I’m outties tomorrow but will continue to blog FOR I WILL BE IN EFFING IOWA MINUS 7 DEGREES !$%#@%#

Book info here, in case you’re drunk and feel like pre-ordering a hardcover children’s book that will arrive post-January.



Impromptu Job Interview, bunnies!

So I’m not sure what I was thinking with this one.  I already has a job, and they are none too pleased w/my latest stunt.  

I got a call to teach a couple of classes at the local community college, and I was like aight, let’s meet and see what’s up.  What is up is that they need someone STAT, and what also is up is that my current employer is not exactly throwing a parade right now.  BUT:

FTW I’m not teaching a class at the University next semester, just TA’ing (Teacher Assistant’ing) twice a week.  The main concern is how it will interfere with my research.  I would like to GTFO of this program one day and before I get hit by a bus or something.  

After an epic convo with my boss this afternoon, I think I might could do all three.  Final decision to come tomorrow.  If my boss(es) DO NOT WANT, then I’ll post another pic tomorrow evening with sadface and two wine bottles indicating extreme disappointment instead of the joy you see above.

OMG T-Givingz 2oo8:

1) Uncle Robert* regaled us with tales of Istanbul in the 60’s, where you may:

   a) wipe your butt with your finger, then have that fingernail cleaned and spritzed with perfume by a presumably very sad lady attendant, OR

   b) participate in the “Wall of Spoons” method, where there’s this wall, and everyone has their own spoon.

   Nice, right.

2) I started World War III, natch (see Fig. 4c).  Not kidding, either.  Sry.  Can’t help it.

3) I decided to get a new T-Givz dress overnighted because I am a bratty little shithead (it’s below).  My NEW FAVORITE CUST SRVC REP waived the overnight fee.  I almost proposed.  I’m standing on my ancient piano there. Know any elves?  That shit needs tuned.

4) I had to watch the football >:O.  Not cool, guys. Did not want.

How was your T-Givingz?  I’ve been drinking way too much scotch lately/again.  Hope I don’t grow a beard.  Did you know you can put scotch in egg nog instead of whiskey?  You totes can.  Maybe that’s duh but I was pleasantly surprised.
