Human prime rib

A couple weeks ago, Baxter and myself checked out the Bodies Revealed exhibit @ Union Station. Conclusion: we are made out of different varietys of 3-D meat, i.e sausage, bacon, steak, pepperoni, etc. It was pretty cool getting to see just how big things are, and how amazing the body really is. And yes, I was reminded of how black my lungs probably are.

HOWEVER. There are some that disagree massively with this (the exhibit, not my lungs), namely the Catholic church and these clowns. I think people who fight with each other in article commentary / public blogs are the same who write in so angrily to The Pitch and/or watch Nancy Grace on a regular basis.  

Appropriate shoes for a klutz like me

Okay, It’s weird that I like these. My feet could only hope that those were real band aids. 

You is dumb.

Single Facebook gripe: People who don’t understand sentence structure or grammar when writing their statuses. You wouldn’t go to a party and tell someone that you are PLAZA!! or “mexico tonight, be home tomorrow!” Learn the difference between geographical locations / proper nouns / Kelly Clarkson lyrics and complete sentences, post haste, por favor.

 Also, my sister just told me she would totally try out for “Girlicious”. As in the show where they’re trying to find the next Pussycat Doll. One of us is clearly adopted.

“A video movie”

I am speechless, I have no speech, I am without speech.

One hour, twenty minutes

Approximately the time of my round-trip commute to and from work. So I have a LOT of time on the road lately, and for anyone who knows me at all, isn’t a good thing.

 Notes from the road:

• Nine times out of ten, those who drive big trucks are total assholes on the road. No evident respect for anyone around them, nor able to move their finger AN INCH to use their turn signal. Grrr.
• Drivers of the Grand Prix are not to be trusted
• The only part of my trip that I find totally stressful is the damn 1-70 interchange. People start FREAKING OUT like a MILE from the exit/onramp, and it all turns to shit. People pulling out in front of you, erratically changing lanes, babies crying, dogs barking.. you get the idea.
• East Kansas City is… ugly.
• They also LOVE Dave Ramsey.
• I make audible noises driving. I literally go WHOM! everytime I go over a bump, a bubble noise when passing lanes, ‘HEY HEY NOW’ when someone’s getting testy, ‘LAME!’ when behind someone slow, and make this type of whiney whingey noise that sounds like a sad dog when I’m trying to get over.
• I’m guilty of this as well, but I love it when you’re passing someone who’s obviously singing, and you hope you’ll catch them. While you’re parallel with them they stop and act like they’ve never sang a song and hate the people who do. As soon as your past them, they resume singing the Chris Cox Britney megamix until the next guy comes along.
• When someone tells me something is wrong with my car, from that point on I become totally panicked that every burp or weirdness means that I’ve put it off too long and I’m about to break down or blow up. I’ve been told that I need new belts, and since won’t go over 3 rpm’s or turn the a/c on, and pretty sure I’m gonna have to coast into Jiffy Lube tomorrow.

Speaking of cars, I’ve quasi-decided to sell off my gas-guzzling Klausey for a more economic option, hopefully this summer. I figured out I could be saving around $150 .. a month! So the decision’s pretty much made. And thus this total nightmare begins again.

I embrace you, 65 and windy

Ahhh, first nice day in weeks! It’s totally over 60 degrees outside right now. Time to get that ol’ rustbucket of a bike out.

I saw “Introducing the Dwights” last night, which is a film I’ve been long been waiting to see. Hmmmph. A bit of a letdown, as they sorta forgot to develop 2 of the main characters. But it’s pretty cute, and if you’re into Australian humor, it’s worth a look.

Oh and the latest in news-you’ve-already-heard : the trailer for the new Indiana Jones movie has been released and I cannot WAIT to see this. Cate Blanchett is the new Jude Law, as she’s in nearly every movie made as of late.
