About Me
My Top Fifty Favorite Songs
I have been so busy being the coolest bitch on the planet that my poor blog has fallen by the wayside. My life is not interesting enough to talk about on a regular basis, so I have come up with a way to blog with a purpose. Not a staggering life-altering purpose, but a purpose nonetheless. A while back I brought up the amazing website Songfacts and our tendency to vote on anything and everything that comes to mind. I've decided to randomly go through the list of my Top Fifty Favorite Songs and tell you why I love each song and what part it has played in my life. I will report that I have extremely varied and odd taste in music, from the almighty Tenacious D to Etta James to Run DMC to Rick mother fucking Astley. You may read the original post here. And don't worry, we've done a second Top Fifty since that post so you've got at least 100 golden nuggets to look forward to.

Officially Rocking Your Socks Off

The wonderful and glorious Bev bestowed upon me a very cool blogging award. I am honored to be thought of so highly by such an awesome chick. Since I've been tagged, I am supposed to give props to other bloggerific peeps. Technically, I'm supposed to name 15 blogs, but as I am a known rule breaker and all around bad ass, I'll do as I damned well please. Screw you if you don't like it.
Making a Spectacle ~ The reason I started a blog in the first place is my heterosexual life partner, Shannon. She is a fan of all things Spock, Flight of the Conchords, sock monkeys (!), and most importantly, the dark mistress known as bacon. Mere words cannot describe my love for her. Stop by and say hi. She might even write a haiku in your honor.
List of the Day ~ Being a huge fan of countdowns and lists and such, I somehow stumbled across Cary's LOTD and have been hooked from that first moment. He and his blog amuse me to no end. He's the Pied Piper of the Blogisphere with a loyal following of some of the funniest people I've never met.
Raising Stink ~ I met the delightful Samsmama through LOTD and I've been smitten ever since. I believe it was a can of Tab that brought us together. Who said artificial sweeteners were a bad thing? She makes me laugh until I snort, which is my favorite form of laughter.
Defecata Randomus de Nocturne ~ Stuart at Random Shit of the Night cracks me up. I'm fond of shit, especially random shit, so he is right up my alley. Well, not literally up my alley. His woman Jodi might have my head on a platter for such slanderous accusations.
Mixed Nuts ~ Mala is Bev's bff and graciously invited me to sit at the cool kids' lunch table. I'd love to be the third wheel on one of the gals' Thelma and Louise adventures. Anyone who tries to rub the crap of Gorby's head at a wax museum is the bee's knees in my book. Not that I have a book, mind you.
Project Rungay ~ My absolute favorite reality show of all time is Project Runway. Yes, I watch reality shows. Yes, you can suck it. Anyhoo, Tom and Lorenzo are two gay men in a long term relationship who started out blogging about PR but somehow evolved into the poster boys for all things fabulous in fashion and pop culture.
Cooking for Assholes ~ I cannot begin to tell you how much this blog makes me laugh and learn at the same time. Cooking is just another chore to me, but I am almost inspired to jump in and cook for fun after reading these delicious recipes. And honestly, all the abuse turns me on just a little bit. Eat it™.
Dispatches From the Island ~ If you know me, you know Lost is my favorite show and Hurley is my favorite character. If you don't know me, what the fuck are you doing here? Jorge Garcia is an absolute sweetheart with a boyish sense of humor who takes his position as a celebrity with a grain of salt. He always makes me smile.
1000 Awesome Things ~ Some days the world sucks and everyone in it is a complete and utter douche nozzle. On those days, I like to go to this blog and celebrate the little things that make life worth living. This is one of my favorites.
Crazy Days and Nights ~ This blogger is an entertainment lawyer in El Lay who gives blind items about celebrities. It's fun trying to figure out who he's talking about. The beautiful Shannon turned me on to this one.
To paraphrase Tom and Lorenzo, kittens, I am exhausted. This all I have in me. That's what she said. Sorry, I channeled Michael Scott there for a second.
Go forth and investigate the wonderfulness that these blogs have to offer you. Don't say I never gave you anything.

I'd like to thank the Academy, the producers, Tom Cruise, Oprah, Jesus my lawn guy, Gabe Kaplan for all his support (love ya, Gabe!) and, wait, don't start the music yet; Pixar, you guys rawk, um ... Spike Lee, who had nothing to do with this but I feel compelled to thank him nonetheless [cut to Spike, nodding slightly while making no facial changes], Danny Elfman, Abe Vigoda and last but not least, Rula Lenska. Thank you and good night!
Congrats on the award! *Raises can of Tab in your direction* And I'll have to check out these peeps you enjoy.
You are the freakin man sister! I shall write a haiku in your honor and shout it on street corners, then promptly be arrested for disturbing the peace and then, released from prison and hardened by my time in the joint, I will become a motivational speaker and scare kids straight from the evils of the internets and the alcohols and what not.
Oh crap, that reminds me. Bev hung one of those things on me, too. Wonder if I can top the Honest Scrap award post...
Stuart, I love Abe Vigoda. I make sure to check his status at least three times a week. Fucking Fish.
Samsmama, I'll take a little extra hooch in my Tab, if you don't mind.
Shannon, I always envisioned you as a prison bitch. You're so hard core and all. Love you!
Sir mjenks, I just read your entry about your "first time" and I'm a bit uncomfortable thinking of what has been hung on you...or where you might wipe it.
I heard that mjenks was hung, but didn't know that I was responsible.
Kari, you rule, lady! You need to post more. Just sayin'.
kisses!
Bev, you're awesome! I fell off the grid for about a week, but I promise to post more. I'm not used to people actually reading my ramblings. :)
Smooches!
Thanks for the shout-out, K. To show my appreciation, I will send you a naked photo of myself. Watch your Inbox.
I said box.
Great readingg your blog post
