it’s cold outside
This weekend’s forecast calls for snow and lots of it. Not only will I be unable to escape to the outside world for such celebrated activities like socializing and binge drinking, but the building I will be stuck in is filled to the brim with honest to god freaks. I’m talking about some serious sewer dwellers, urchins, pygmies, trolls, and mutants. How will I fend off cabin fever and thus prevent the inevitable Shining reenactment?
Hidetoshi Nakata seems to be exactly what the doctor would prescribe for such a scenario. 
And even if his photos do not help me maintain my sanity, perhaps in my delusional state that results from too much self confinement I will start to hallucinate that he is right here with me, whispering sweet nothings in my ear and feeding my interesting jellybean combinations. A girl can wish, can’t she?
good news!
You guys. I just got the best compliment EVER!
I’ve just been informed that I am super intimidating!!!! I love this newly realized attribute and trust me, it will be used to my advantage. I like black, I like snarling, I like chain metal and studs, why not have the ‘tude to back it up? 
I admit, I am a pacifist. It’s mainly out of vanity though. See, I know that if I ever do get in to a fist fight, my delicate bones will break through my rice paper skin, and I just don’t think blood-red is my color (I’m more of a Spring than an Autumn). Therefore, I avoid bleeding whenever possible. 
I’m already seeing the effect I have others. Actually, quite recently, a creature of sorts saw me as I was walking down the stairs and not only turned around to avoid my unnerving presence, but said creature actually ran away. It was actually quite comical. RAN AWAY.
And all along, I never knew I was capable of such powers. Maybe I will be myself next Halloween. It might be the most very frightening costume I’ve thought of yet!

pest problem
I have a major ish, and I would appreciate it if we could keep this between the two of us. I am currently sharing a living space with a family of mice. At first they annoyed me, but now I am kind of appreciate their company. I know I should be disgusted to walk into my room and spot a mousie snuggled up in my bed, but I can’t help but find it cute. I mean, I think he was even snoring a bit. That at least deserves a little “aw,” even from the most plague-phobic.
Unfortunately, I think it is time, after a month of cohabitation, that the mice and I take a break from one another. This epiphany occurred to me after I noticed nibbles were taken out of a still wrapped tuna fish sandwich I had left on my window sill for later consumption. Don’t worry, I merely ripped of the corner of the sandwich that had had mouse contact, but still-it’s gross.
So, I’ll bid these companions adieu. If anyone knows of a good mouse-friendly halfway house, please contact me. They just want to get back on their feet.

As stated previously, Pharrell has some gender issues. Puff pink sneaks and a crustache that don’t quit, boy is Rupauling us hard core.

Drink to Your Health
Scott Brown, the first Republican Senetor elected in Massachusetts in the last 30 years, makes one heck of a Cosmo centerfold. Too bad he is going to kill universal healthcare. Looks like he’s okay with making his private option…public. What are the teabaggers going to say about this one? Is anyone going to comment on this Elephant in the room?
Okay. We’re sufficient in the pun department.
