Long Time No Blog

It's been a while since I have blogged, but here goes some recent things in my brain.

The US Presidential Election

Man, what an ass-whip. So here is my whole take on it. I did not prefer either candidate. I flip flopped on who I was going to vote for - back and forth. I managed to piss off both my Republican friends and my Democratic friends simultaneously. So on the way to the polls and still conflicted, I had to have a little talk with myself; "Ricki. You are the only one I really listen to most of the time. Who is it you really want in the White House? Vote for that one. Do it, Ricki! DO IT NOW!" So I got to the polls, ran inside and wrote in Bill Clinton. And then for a few brief moments I felt good thinking of what life would be like with Bill again and I was happy. So happy. And when I traveled to distant lands, people would ask me if I knew Bill or if I voted for him and they were happy too, just like they were when I traveled to foreign lands before. I don't want to hear about how I wasted my vote. Wasting your vote is being registered to vote and not knowing who to vote for so you just don't do anything. You let everyone else figure out what you want for you and then you probably don't want that and then you will bitch about it. It was my vote and I damn well used it to the good of my conscience. And that is all I have to say about that. I love Bill. You leave Bill alone.

Laundry

Fanky said my laundry detergent sounds like a distress call. Apple Mango Tango, APPLE MANGO TANGO!

Las Vegas

I am going to Las Vegas in a few weeks and I am stoked. The last time I went I was 16 and snuck into the casino with Devin Morow and Cargill. We were playing slots to win a Ferrari and I was terrified I was going to hit it. I think I am over that now. I am not really going to gamble anyway.

Bug

I have had the flu for about 5 days now. It sucks butt.

Elderly

I am getting old. In almost 3 weeks I will be 1 year older. Life is not how I pictured it would be 15 years ago, but I am totally cool with that. Funny how you think you want something and then it turns out you really don't want that at all. But I am having a sweet little cocktail party at Embargo, this cool Cuban bar Downtown and it will be fun having some of my peeps together.

New Shows

I am watching 2 shows I really dig now. Little Britian USA and True Blood. Little Britian is so damn funny I coughed my food across the room the first time I watched it and True Blood is cool on an almost Anne Ricey level.

Pumpkins

Johnny Burleson came over before Halloween and we carved pumpkins. In the same amount of time it took me to carve 3 whole circles to make a ghost pumpkin, he carved this awesome masterpiece of Batman looking over the city skyline with what looked like fire in the background and little tiny explosions where the candles reflected at the bottom. I even tried to be all Martha Stewart and intently used a drill and everything. I saw his and I about fell over. I felt like an idiot at first but then mine was cute and thanks to him, our house had the coolest pumpkin in all my neighborhood.

Blackberry Curve

I have a Curve now and it rocks! It has GPS, an alarm, and then all the things it is supposed to do like being a phone and all. Plus the e-mail. Man, I love the e-mail! I also have Bluetooth and it made me realize how fantastic I am at multitasking. I can find my way around, talk on the phone, sing and have a ciggy all whilst driving. My Bluetooth lady sounds like a deaf girl and sometimes I catch myself asking her "What?!?" It's kind of creepy when she repeats herself after I say that. I wonder what she looks like. I hope she doesn't look like that chick from The Ring. If she does, then I am so done with the Curve.

Request

Does anyone have that e-mail with the Olan Mills pictures where the guy made up funny captions? If so, please forward it to me.

Good Intentions

I am going to try to blog more often. And take more pictures. I have waited so long to take pictures that the $1 store in River Oaks that had a sign that read "Everything A Dollar Over A Dollar" now reads "Everything A Dollar Nothing Over A Dollar." Nothing funny about that.
