terribly early in the morning

If you’re feeling down, let Fred and Sharon cheer you up

Either this is the most fabulous joke website ever and these people are geniuses (to see more movies, they’re asking for $1 Canadian, which is what, $20 USD these days?) or this is one of the saddest attempts at starting a business ever.  Either way, if you could use a laugh, or maybe just an awkward titter, watch this video, and then go visit the link to their website ^^ up there.  I promise that you won’t be sorry.  I also promise that if you live with Helly & Alan, you’ll be hearing funny imitations in your home for weeks, if not longer.

Tricia Kean’s Breasts Get My Stats Jumpin’ Again

I’d like to wish Tricia Kean good luck in her recent marriage to Rick Hergott.  I noticed that my traffic has jumped due to her recent nuptials and people searching for her in Google.  I’m still ever so amused by how I show up in the search results for her.  The blog entry was such a goof and it’s, by far, my most popular entry.  Again, I’d like to thank Tricia for being a good sport about the entry.  I hope her new hubby is too.

I’m disappointed though that I’m no longer the first result when you search for Tricia, but I think I have the best title and snippet.

Go, Speed Racer, Gooooo!

I’m so excited.  Speed Racer has been made into an awesome looking live-action movie (at least the trailer is good!), and available in IMAX too.  It was always one of my favorite tv shows as a kid.  It was on our weird Channel 52 that also showed Kimba and Felix the Cat.

During My Current Super Stressful Days, Picture Me Like This…

This is a scan of me and my mom posing on our front lawn, in our dirndls.  They weren’t even costumes, coming by them legitimately because my mom is from Germany.  As most of you who know me in real life know, you’re not going to see me in a dress these days.  Consider it a courtesy to your eyes.  However, I think we looked pretty cute back then...and my mom would still look cute in her dirndl.  Heck, it probably still fits just fine, forty or so years later.

Also, you can be pretty sure that that little kid wouldn’t be the slightest bit worried about foreclosure stress (the 30 day postponement is a done deal and I think the paperwork looks fine in order to get the loan modification done - the email I got from the mortgage company today had a HUGE salary error on it, so with that clarified, it looks okay to me...although “me” doesn’t get to make the decisions these days, sadly), and she’d go inside and change into her Toughskins and play a pickup football or baseball game in the street with her brothers and the next-door neighbor boys.  Or, play some hoops in the driveway.  I can’t believe it, the guy my parents sold our childhood house to, took down our basket that wasn’t attached to the roof about the garage, but a post CEMENTED into a little outcropping off the edge of the driveway.  Damn, that guy destroyed my childhood basketball court.  Creep!  So what if it’s his house now?  It’s always going to be OUR house.

Vote for Dodger!

Vote for Dodger, cutest pup in the group.  Win Dodger’s mom a vacuum, and get Dodger into the finals so his mom can pick a charity that we know and love (if we don’t qualify, I’m sure we have friends who do) and get them $10k.

Go, go vote now!
