Something’s kinda freakish about you, you know that.

I was just looking at the pets available for adoption on petfinder.org. Specifically, cats. Coworker M-roo has wanted a cat for a long time. Last year, she bought a house. And she’s been keeping an eye out for the perfect kitty ever since. Looking at all the animals without homes makes me so sad. I need to buy a big huge house, then I can adopt all the kitties and become the crazy cat lady I am destined to be. I know we are about to hit the time of year that seasoned bunny owners dread…. Easter. Parents go out and get real bunnies to put in Easter Baskets. And then the bunnies end up at a shelter. Because it turns out that they are real animals, with real animal behavior. In the cute pictures, she seem so nice and quiet. Don’t buy anyone a bunny at Easter unless you a: know they want it and b: know that they can take care of it! That’s all I’m saying. Fee works long and hard to get abandoned bunnies adopted by good homes. I’m not sure how hard she actually works, I’d say she’s definitely dedicated to it. But she does help out people who definitely do work hard at it.

I don’t know if ya’ll noticed, but my baby brother, Josh, left me a comment. He must be getting around, because I don’t think he has a computer at home. It’s good news.

I was talking to one of the many lucky people who used to be my manager here at The Place of my Employment about who would win in a fight; me or Evildeb. I’ve always insisted that I could kick Evildeb’s ass. I still believe that is true. Ex-Manager P asked, “which one of you is freakishly strong?

Evildeb: Me! I am! I am freakishly strong!

Jodi: Just freakish, Deb… you are just plain freakish.

Evildeb: No! Ask anyone! Ask Lloyd!

Jodi: nope, don’t care anymore. [[started to explain to Ex-Manager P why the cupcakes might taste a bit like bran muffins.]

Evildeb: [Standing behind Lloyd, applying what could only be called a vulcan death grip to his shoulder] Lloyd, am I freakishly strong?

Lloyd: Yes. She is freakishly strong.

Evildeb: Ha!

Lloyd: It’s true, she’s freakishly strong. Ask anyone.

Jodi: Well, sure, comparatively, she is freakishly strong to Lloyd.

Lloyd: They always tell her she’s freakishly strong. Ask her personal trainer, ask her massage therapist. Ask her… her… crystal therapist.

Jodi, Evildeb, Ex-Manager P: Her what? Crystal therapist?

So, add “strong” to the long list of things that are freakish about Evildeb.

Evildeb: How many push-ups do you think a freakishly strong person would do?

Jodi: doesn’t matter, I’m only taking a picture of one.

Evildeb: Oh, in the case. [switches to one arm push up]

sugar sugar sugar sugar

I have had too much sugar. I’m actually feeling a little bit icky… Evildeb says I am shitkl ibbledick. Which sounds naughty, but it means I’m feeling a little bit icky.

Anyway, from craiglist.org Seriously? You are getting married? I hadn’t heard. I have been here! I’ve lived this! I could have written this letter. The girl I worked with was so bad, her friends would come by and they’d lock themselves in the conference room to discuss the wedding for hours! And, at that time, we shared duties so that left them all to me. One day, I broke down and went into a closet and cried. Ahhhh…. the good old days. Anyway, it’s funny. Go read it.

That’s why I decided early on to sabotage my highly scientific brain with cartoons and sugar.

Remember the spiders who go potty on your teeth? Well, there is a regular spider potty party going on on my teeth right now. Don’t tell my mom. Evildeb made cupcakes over the weekend. She’s trying to get rid of all her topping doo-dads. You know, sprinkles, sugar, candies… stuff like that. I think she wants them out of the house. So these cupcakes had multi-colored sugar granules sprinkled on top, as well as flowers built out of m-n-m’s and little white candy ball thingies. I was unable to determine what flavor the frosting was, because it tasted like Sugar Frosting. Like butter and brown sugar and rainbow sugar. It crunched. I don’t think any more sugar could have been added to it. It was pretty good.

Evildeb: How as the cupcake part of the cupcake.

Jodi: it was… interesting. Did you make up this recipe yourself?

Evildeb: No.

Jodi: You know what it tasted like? It tasted like, a bit like… bran.

Evildeb: now, you see, I only had whole wheat flower and I was trying to decide if you could taste the difference.

Jodi: Yes, you can.

Evildeb: so you got a bit of extra fiber…

Jodi: and that’s nice!

This weekend, because I have such an exciting life, I noticed that my netflix “friend” Lisa had more movies rated than I did. And I could not let that happen. So I sat at my computer, rating movies until I had over a thousand movies rated! Ha-HA! take that, Lisa! She only has 446 rated. Even Arifa has more than that! Evildeb has the fewest. But now that she knows I did that, I imagine she’ll sign on and rate more movies. Because she’s competitive like that. Unlike me.

Did you know they now have chocolate Lucky Charms? They do. and they are goooooooood.

America is scary

I was going to write a nice long post about Terri Shiavo, because I’m very angry about it. Not only am I angry about the inappropriate interference of the Federal Government, I am very very frightened by it. I was going to write about it, but then I read Rude Cactus’s post about it, and felt I could save myself time by pointing you there and saying, “yeah, me too!” Because I agree with everything he says. In fact, it’s almost like he took the thoughts RIGHT OUT OF MY BRAIN!! [hence the slight headache above my right eye.]

I used to think I should buy this shirt for Louise, now I think I want it for myself.

And now I must go to the most annoying meeting on my agenda. I will come back with something happier later.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!

Or at least the best news this weekend.

JOSS WHEDON IS GOING TO WRITE AND DIRECT THE WONDER WOMAN MOVIE!!

That’s right, all caps and bold, baby! That’s how exciting this is. This is the official teaser poster. Click for larger image.



I learned this from River, and if you go to her site, she has a lot more news about it, as well as other comic book super hero movie news. I’m worried about casting. That is my biggest concern. If they are seriously thinking of Jessica Biel, I wouldn’t be happy with that….. well, I just have to have faith in Joss.

Do you Skype?

I just signed up for Skype., which is free internet telephony.I told Fee she should do it too, and we could talk to each other over the computer. [we were, at the time, chatting to each other on the computer.] She pointed out that I don’t even like the phone. But this is not the phone, I said. This is the computer, this is technology. It’s sexy and fun and exciting!

Plus, I had to get my Skype ID before someone took Jodiferous. It’s not too likely, but it’s happened to me before and I don’t like it. There is only one. I added my Skype ID over there… see… in the side banner? Skype is also a chat client!
