Loltastic: Transformers

It is no secret that I love Transformers. The 80s cartoon, not so much the recent films. I can handle 80s cartoon cheese but Shia Lebouf talking with his parents about masturbation? Not something I want to watch. I even have a few Transformers of my own; Optimus Prime and Hot Rod graced my desk through most of college.

Even though I love Transformers more than most women love their children, I don't particularly want to mix giant robots and my sex life.



I do agree that Megatron is a sexier robot. And girls, if you are ever in desperate need for male attention (particularly between the ages of 14-25), I'm pretty sure putting Megatron on your breasts will draw even more attention to the girls. As evidence by the nonstop talk about Megan Fox in the new Transformer film, many men fall prey to the mixing of women and giant toys.

Not those kind of toys.

Blazer is a fat, short dog with no tail. he spends a lot of time trying to chew on his back that he cannot ever reach. Yet he can look very handsome sometimes.


Right now, our neighbor's crab apples tree is dropping its terrible fruit into our backyard. BEES GALORE. On top of that, Blazer gnaws on any crab apple he can get and then promptly throws up half an hour later on the living room floor. Sometimes he eats that too.

Sometime I make dumb decisions. It is impossible for you believe, dear reader, but it is true. I make dumb decisions and sometimes buy things on impulse. Usually my impulse buys have worked out fine, but every so often I run into a problem.

Exhibit A: This dress

A few months ago, Alexander McQueen made some clothes for Target and promptly no one liked them. That's how I came to find this dress on the clearance rack. I looked at the punky elements of a racer back tank dress and the black netting coat. Then I looked at the price tag and holy shit I had already bought it. I must have blacked out onto the way to the register.

Upon actually wearing it, there were several problems.

First off, it's really short. As in, it might earn me a possible future spot on "Don't Show-cha Your Chocha" short. I am not above showing off my legs in my ultra short denim shorts, but I am not thrilled to flash the world my underpants and that's not just because I wear a lot of underpants with cartoon characters on them.

Secondly, the netting coat was a safety hazard. It doesn't detach from the dress, which is frustrating when it gets warm. Also there are approximately five thousand belts (read: only three) and the belts are about five feet long. Tying the dress shut looks strange and only shortens the belts a tiny bit.

Being that I was raised by accountants and engineers, I like to solve problems. Horrah for ingenuity and having separates!

Dress: Alexander McQueen for Target
Skirt: Charlotte Russe
Gold sandals: Target

Those are crab apples by the way.

The shortness of the dress was easily solved by an addition of my favorite red pencil skirt. The belts I looped around about ten times and they still trail on the ground. Shortly after this photo was taken, their lengths were sacrificed with a pair of scissors.

New Week; New Wallpaper - 7-6-09

The world of fashion blogs and website often neglect the medium they are presented upon: the computer.

Many people spend hours every day staring at glowing rectangles. We occasional spruce up our computers with skins or case mods, but not everyone wants or can do afford those.

So I present a bit of pleasant ascetics in the form of desktop backgrounds and potential boot up screens.

Green fields and blue skies are the epitome of summer. A single lone lampost reminds me of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" except it's summer and there are no shirtless goat men as far as we can see.

Made it out alive


Several months of radio silence. A lot can happen then.

In the past six months I have:
  • Changed school and career plans
  • Ended one serious relationship
  • Worked through a bout of depression
  • Worked at school
  • Graduated with a bachelor's degree
  • Got a new computer
  • Played a lot of Bioshock and Audiosurfer
  • Moved back home
  • Ate a bagel and lox at the Chicago Pride Parade
  • Been chillaxin' and being unemployed



Now that my life has been reassembled in order, I can resume writing. Hopefully I can get one or two chuckles from someone on their lunch break.

We'll resume broadcasting soon.

Corgi Tuesday: Lobster dog



Not my dog. It's a photo for selling lobster costumes for pets, but I'm going to guess that lobster dog costumes did not sell well due to this picture.
