Ok, hang on folks we have a tiny baby rant incoming. And it is a gross one.
WTF is up with people leaving floaters?! By people I mean women. By women I mean the nasty women in my office building. Now it is huge here and there are several hundred women who work here AND the closest bathroom is also the biggest and most heavily trafficed. And I swear to you, every single frickin day SOMEONE leaves a visual gift for the rest of us. Sometimes MULTIPLE people leave a gift. WTF?!?!
Men - next time someone talks about how you all have gross bathroom habits, you point them right here to this post. Cause these women are disgusting. If they had nuts they'd be scratching them in public.

Thursday Thirteen #28 - Are You Gettin' It? Armageddon It!
I am back and slack. I am positive this could be better but you roll with what the good lord is giving you. Which ain't much. Damn cold. This week my theme is guilty pleasures. Can't believe I am fessing up to some of these.
1. Justin Timberlake. Yes I know. Believe me. But white boy is funky, dammit, and I like that album. The song What Goes Around...Comes Around is just ridiculously good. It sounds so old school R&B...you know back when there was a melody with chord changes? Not that repetitive "uh huh, uh huh, so boring, uh huh, yeah baby" shit that is called R&B these days.
2.YUM! These are so very addicting.

3. 80's Music. I totally have an excuse. Totally. Fur Shur. I grew up in the 80's so this one is a gimme. Oddly enough, there are bands that I loathed at the time that now I love. Like The GoGo's. I HATED them. I think that was in response to the popular plastic bitchy girls in Jr. High that worshipped them and having to hear Our Lips Are Sealed every damn day in the courtyard during lunch. Now...I love them. LOVE them.
4. TMZ.com. Trashy trashy trashy! Celeb gossip! Britney is a train wreck and I find myself shouting "no way!" when I read what she has done now. Cheetoh's Y'all! Can you get more low brow? See #5
5. Jerry Springer Show. Do you people realize how grateful we should all be to Jerry? Having a bad day? Watch a Jerry show and by God you will feel so much better. There are plenty of people who think the Jerry guest are all actors. While I am willing to bet that some of them are, I think we, as a society, want them all to be actors. Cause honey if those folks are for real, Armageddon is coming.
6. B Movies. Plan 9 From Outer Space! Faster Pussy Cat, Kill Kill Kill! Pink Flamingos! Vincent Price! Hammer Films! Midnight Movies! SHAFT! Janet! Dr Scott! Janet! Brad! Rocky!
7. HGTV, TLC, The Food Network - I am a total Cable Ho. Bad. I live for this shit. I am watching Property Ladder right now. The whole food and home genre. Good lord. Don't get me started on the Food Network shows. I am addicted to Food Porn =(
8. **Looks around** ** blushes** *shuffles her feet** Um...reality tv in general. American Idol, Survivor, America's Next Top Hoochie Mama (which is on tonight!) Hells Kitchen, Top Chef - especially since they added Tony Bourdain. I think Tony is about the only guy I could ever marry. Oh and Project Runway. Which better start soon dammit cause I am getting impatient for my Michael Korrs, Nina Garcia, and Auf'ing of high strung designers. GIMME!
9. Books. Now I know, books are good. But when I say I love books, I mean I really love books. Like they are overflowing in my house. And in my garage. HUNDREDS of them.
10. CDs. I am worse with these than books, which is pretty fricking scary. I have shocked Sparky before with my totals. It is something along the lines of 800+ albums. I had to buy a 500 disc professional case and that only works cause several hundred albums live on my computer only right now :P
11. CraB puffs. (Thanks to those who pointed out the Crap Puffs! Damn cold meds!) The kind you get in Chinese restaurants. You know...the deep fried wonton wrappers filled with crab and cream cheese and plum sauce. Oh Yummers. My toes are curling thinking about them!
12. Driving. Don't hurt me Al Gore! I like to drive for no reason other than to drive. I am a bad fossil fuel sucking person. Leo can spank me though. That is another post all together :P
13. John Hughes Movies. I find it impossible to pass up Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club, and Sixteen Candles. But Lloyd Dobler OWNS Jake Ryan.

Golly Jeepers Where'd You Get Those Peepers
Yes I still live. I have been awful about blogging since I got ill mostly because I have just been swamped due to getting ill. Add that to school starting and the lingering tiredness (is that a word) that I have had and I just have just been too pooped to pop.
I did work Saturday...early in fact. Got there at like 5:45. Got kidlet, and then got a wild hair to go to the beach. We had already planned on going for the afternoon just to have chowder. But I got a cheap oceanview room in Rockaway for the night so we went and spent the weekend. It was lovely down there on Saturday and all spooky foggy Cornwall coasty on Sunday. Came back to town Sunday afternoon and my Dad came over to fix my closet rods and have Chinese and watch spooky movies with us. Mom is in Cali for a family party so he is batching it this week.
Now I have a cold/migraine. I think it is a cold. I have a fever and swollen glands and the head is killing me. On one side. So either it is both, or a bad reaction to having a migraine. I have not bounced back from that Norovirus as fast as I would like to have and with kidlet going to school and bringing home all sorts of new germs...just yippy. I pretty much want to sleep all the time still. So I am not screwing around with whatever this is. Tea and naps for me.
Oh confirmed my Halloween plans. I am SO fricking excited about this. If you have seen the Stephen King miniseries Rose Red then you will recognize this place.
Kidlet and I are driving up on Halloween morning and spending the night. We are going on a Halloween Night Candlelight Ghost Tour and staying in the Master's Suite for the night! Kidlet is beyond excited. Halloween is our favorite holiday hands down and to be able to go somewhere super spooky just rocks! Click the picture to go the castles website. And check back later for WW as I will a picture of the suite we are staying in!

Requiem
There will, undoubtedly, be a great deal written and said today about the events 6 years ago. And plenty of it will political, from both sides of the fence. It always bothers me that in the debates about these national tragedies and the name calling and the blame laying, that we always seem to lose sight of the simple acts of kindness done by everyday people.
There is a grass roots movement on the rise in America to turn 9/11 into a day of good deeds. I like that. I wish more people just did it because it is the right thing to do and that it didn't take tragedies like Katrina, The Tsunami, or 9/11 to bring it about...but I will take what I can get. Here is an bit of the article on this movie (full text available here.)
"The idea of turning 9/11 into a day of service, charity, and good deeds came from the family and friends of one man: Glenn Winuk, a volunteer fireman and lawyer who worked a block and a half from the World Trade Center. After he helped evacuate his Broadway law offices, he grabbed a medic's bag and ran toward the smoke pouring from the South Tower. That's where his remains were found after the towers fell. Mr. Paine and Glenn's brother Jay had been friends for years. They decided that turning 9/11 into a day of service was best way to memorialize Glenn.
"It completely reflects the way my brother lived his life, and it also specifically reflects how he died," says Mr. Winuk, MyGoodDeed co founder. "He laid his life on the line for other people that day."
In 2002, Paine and Winuk sent e-mails to friends and family and suggested they do a good deed, such as donate a day's pay on 9/11. Then the idea evolved, and they founded myGoodDeed.org. In 2004, 100,000 visited their website and pledged to do a good deed on 9/11. This year, those pledging number more than 250,000.
"A lot of people don't know what to do on 9/11," says Paine. "This hits people in their heart and their soul. It connects with something that's fundamental."
