only because it includes baskets of kittens!

i was funny. i’m working on a scanning project, and i have to share this picture of me and my dad, d. arthur hamilton. nobody ever called him arthur. if they used his first name, it was don. but they mostly called him hamilton. however, HE liked to refer to himself as d. arthur hamilton. anyway, here i am, cracking my dad up. see? funny.

i have famous friends. well, not really. but kam is on the south park web site. which is pretty cool. and so many many people could see her picture there and she could become famous. and we are friends. and then, ipso facto… i have a famous friend.
a coworker of mine is going to europe soon. in a couple of days, actually. i told him to bring me back a sugar daddy. so far, the requirements are that he be 5’8″ or taller and have eyes. i’m open-minded. i told him no smelly italians, but i only said that because he’s italian. so it was yet another opportunity to make fun of tony.
this was sent out to the mr snotty mail list today. at first it made me laugh…but then it started to upset me, because the baby looked so upset. now it creeps me out. and so… i share it with you. 🙂 frankly, i much prefered this because it has kittens. and kittens RULE.

i love this years hello kitty calendar. next month is russian. privet december! next year, the theme is color. so every month she says hello to a different color. it’s pretty cool. we’ll see if tops this one, tho.
i am currently obsessed with a flaming lips song, “do you realize.” these are the lyrics.
Do You Realize?
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize – we’re floating in space –
Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize – that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize – Oh – Oh – Oh
Do You Realize – that everyone you know
Someday will die –
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize
but really, if you want to know why i love it so much, go listen to it. you can listen to the entire album online. i love that. i want this album very much. even tho i listen to it online all the time. i still want it. but i listened to this song, do you realize, over and over and over in the days after mo¸r mo¸r died. if i were the singing type, i’d sing it next spring, when we bury her ashes in grand junction.
i told my mom about plan b. she freaked out about the bartending. she seems to think that if work around alcohol, that i will become an alcoholic. her father, brother, 1st husband and son are/were alcoholics. so i understand her issues with alcohol. after all, my grandfathers, uncle, father and brother were/are alcoholics. i, however, am not. so working around alcohol is not likely to change that. but she scared me, she sorta reacted the way she did when i got my tongue pierced.* but i think, by the end of the afternoon, she realized why i wanted to do it. and i think she was proud that i am being proactive about my debt issues.
* i didn’t really get my tongue pierced. it was a joke. my mom is a dental hygienist who has made me promise not to get my tongue pierced every time she cleans my teeth. especially since i’ve gotten my nose pierced. i have no intention of getting my tongue pierced. it chips the enamel on your teeth. i like my teeth. but i did have every intention of playing a prank on pattie. she is the consummate prankster. i was looking forward to pulling one on her. but when i showed it to her, she just crumpled…the saddest look came on her face, like her puppy just died, and she just said, “no!” in this tiny, pathetic voice. i showed her almost instantly that it was a joke. she was relieved and then i yelled at her for peeing all over my FABULOUS joke by getting all pathetic. i expected her to yell at me, like she did when i got my nose pierced. dammit. however, she did admit that it was a good joke and told everyone what i did. still… she didn’t have to go all sad on me like that. dag nabbit.

for those of you who are wondering about my career in porn… whatever happened with the opening at The Love Pantry. that position was filled before i even started to consider it. now, there was another opportunity to get porn on my resume [always a life goal of mine] and that was blue video. a porn video superstore. supposedly upscale. the moons were very much in favor of me applying there. but i was afraid to walk in there, for the first time. i’m not afraid to work there, if it’s not skeezy. but i am afraid to go there for the first time to find out if it IS skeezy. but i struck a deal with mr. moon on the phone today. i’m taking him to half price books so he can sell a mountain of books. and then we are going to blue video together. he might pick up an application as well. there may be a chance i can avoid the mall! we’ll see. the second half of plan B is still in the works. i am definitely going to bartending school, after the new year. and tending bars is going to be the way i pay off my scary debts and maybe get some savings going. just imagine if i can do that, AND get my goal of work experience in the porn industry out of the way!
by the way, our hello kitty/hello satan pumpkin won first place in the pumpkin carving contest! although, to be honest, there was not that much competition this year. not that i should take any credit. i had very little to do with the actual carving of said pumpkin. i brought candy to the pumpkin carving meeting, and sat around visiting. that was my contribution. but only so many people can carve a pumpkin at once. tony scooped it out, because he wanted the seeds. and i told him, “you scoop it, you keep it.” i don’t like the scooping part.
