Don't Vote...

A well crafted viral video. Take a look and remember the wise words of Sarah Silverman, you can literally register to vote while you're poopin'.

Real Live Republicans.

I saw them.

We talked.

We disagreed.

I think I scared them.

But they did say Bush was an idiot.

Hmmm.

Is there a special place in hell for people who...

Yeah, never mind Dante's Inferno and it's multiple levels (oh, I just thought of an idea for jewelry) but back to business. I'd like to think there are more current "rings" for the following people:

Those in the turn lane, who wait for the light to turn green and THEN signal they are turning.

Owners who neglect to pick up after their dogs.

Movie theater patrons who don't take their trash with them when they leave.

Customers that don't take the time to stack their grocery baskets into each other while waiting in the check out line.

I'm sure there are even more "rings" that I can't think of right now, thank you Charles Shaw.

Perhaps this will be an ongoing project.

Light 'em up

This weekend I'm basically trying to create interesting new classes. As Cristal Connors so wisely said, "There's always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you."

In the Bay Area there's been a tidal wave of crafters coming into the market. Which means more competition for the ever shrinking discretionary dollar.

So, I'm spending the entire day working on project samples for 2009 new classes. I decided to ramp it up a bit as I won't have much free time over the next few months. I've been playing with fire all day, as well as riveting metal.

I feel so butch handling all these tools, but of course if my ipod was plugged into a speaker for all to hear, that image would be blown out the window, as I've been "spinning around" with Kylie while I create.

Back to birthin' out some ideas.

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, it's frickin' still September, but if you gauge your holidays on the visit to the local mall, Christmas is like in two weeks.

While picking up some crafting supplies at Beverly's, a store I would say is like a slightly disorganized half sister to Michael's.

She's cute when she needs to be and has great sale prices (hello 90% off holiday merchandise). But the store has a common approach to merchandising that would drive Martha crazy - the center aisle is devoted to what I like to call Country Clutter. But I digress.

Beverly (or rather the employees of Beverly's) were already stocking Christmas decorations. Of course as a crafty mofo I have no intention of buying my decorations or gifts. I'll be making my own thank you very much

I think Tim Burton was on to something with his film A Nightmare Before Christmas. We just need to stop the nonsense and combine the two holidays already.

And before I forget why is Perez Hilton making appearances on Martha's show before I do?

Tabitha Took Me Over...

I don't know if it's because she cusses like a sailor or the fact that she dresses like my college art professor, but I love this chick.

If you don't know her, I insist you turn on Bravo next Thursday to tune in to find out what Tabitha Coffey is all about. She cuts hair, so I obviously have no use for her, but she's got a sharp tongue and an even sharper wit!

I personally believe the best episode of the season took place last night. She turned Images Salon of Oyster Bay, New York on its a$$ and one point I didn't think the employees were going to make it out alive.

They did, barely.

I won't sell this house today.

My last post was on August 18th? What the $*#&?

But as Annette Bening's Carolyn Burnham might have said, "You have no one else to blame, but yourself".

And extra points to those of you that know this character is from my favorite movie, American Beauty. I can't believe it came out almost 10 years ago. I still watch it whenever I get a chance and quote it as often as possible. Want some of your own? Here's a few unedited nuggets for you.

A truly original movie, not like Annette's current film The Women. I haven't seen it, but I've seen the original and loved it, so hopefully this "reimagining" of the 1939 bitch fest is just as witty, funny and forward thinking.
