Hiya Kids! It's stat time again, where I update you on some of the weird ways that people get to my sites. Besides the usual people who get there looking under "Pakhet" Mom-son porn (I will have you arrested if I ever find you, you perverts), ecchi art, Bratz dolls, Pucca, and "I Never Promised you A Rose Garden" references, I have found the following that made me giggle this month: Hola. The "teens taking shits" man is back. Twice. Now considering how I don't have any pics of teens taking a dump, why does he keep coming back here? Hope springs eternal for some... Muffy the Vampire: Is there any such thing? Where's Lunatic Pandora at on F8: Don't remember discussing this one, but okay: Go to Esthar on Disk three. See that big-ass thing in the sky, just hovering? THAT'S Lunactic Pandora. Glad to be of help... Mushroom Enduced Art: Hmmm...okay. Nope, I have none of that. You might have better luck looking under "Peyote Enduced" art though. Even though I can't see anyone getting it together under the influence of shrooms enough to even get up, much less paint or create something. Cat Broken Ear Vet: (Not a typo) If your cat has a broken ear (or worse, just plain broken), I strongly suggest that you get off the internet and start looking in your yellow pages for a VET! And I'm quite sure your broken kitty thinks the same thing. Meow. Smashed fairies: You must think that I'm crazier than I already am. As if I ever found a fairy, my first inclination would be: "Smash it! Smash that fucker now!" On the other hand, there is a book that has art depicting smashed fairies. But alas, it is not here. And my favorite of the month: "A pox on all your houses!" I love that phrase, especially in the movie.

Yay! Went to the bank this morning to cash check at bank where it was issued, and had to dead with banker trying to convince me to switch over to their bank (how many times do you have to no before it becomes "hell, no!"), then went to my bank to deposit it so that kited check could be covered. Then I went on the eternal hunt for boots. I hate, hate HATE the fact that Uggs are so popular now. They were ot of stock EVERYWHERE! Since I'm not happy in winter unless I'm stomping down the street looking like a demented Eskimo, this does not make me a happy girl. *sniff* i even went to...*gulp* FIELDS, and was able to control myself. I had tunnel vision, and was on amission, and I didn't even look at the MAC counter. Or the Origins counter. Or Bobbie Brown. Okay, okay, I looked. For a minute. I'm human. But then I went on...and I saw some boots there that would have served the purpose, but none that I liked more than these. Which unfortunately are on backorder. For a month. Coming from New Zealand. So at this point I'm wondering...should I get the boots of my dreams and have them come mid-March when the snow is gone and just put them up for next year? Or should I just settle and get a pair that I don't like as much, just to serve their purpose? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Do you know what's crappy and worse than Chinese Water torture? Expecting checks from multiple sources and having to wait for the mail. After a holiday. When you're dead broke. I had to quit that CSR job because it interfered with the freelance one (which actually HAS some bearing on my career. The CSR one, however, did not. And don't look at me like that...it was just for 2 more weeks!). As the job released the checks on Friday, it should have been today that I received a check, right? Apparently, the US Postal Service had other ideas... 1:00pm: mail-drop clerk: Hello? me: hi, this is london. has the mail ran yet? clerk: nope. usually it runs about 2:30-3pm. try then, okay? 3:00 pm mail-drop clerk: hello, mailboxes r us..how can we help you? me: um...has the mail ran yet? mail-drop guy: nope...we're expecting him any moment now. try again in 15 minutes 3:15 (on the dot) mailbox guy: hello? me: this is london again. please tell me the mailguy has been by... maildrop guy: nope, and it's pissing me off...I'm not going to stay here a moment past 6 sorting mail, dammit! me: *sweatdrop* sniff...I'll...i'll call back.. 3:45: mailbox shoppe owner: Hi, hello, how may we help you? me: has...has the mail come yet? mso: Ah, this is london, is it not? me: yes. mso: by any chance are you expecting...a check? me: yes! is it there? mso: i regretfully have to tell you no. perhaps soon. me:noooooo... mso: i'm afraid so. So at this point I'm thinking, okay, the bank closes at 6. I have a letter I have to mail anyway, so let me just stop by my maildrop and hopefully the mail will be there at 4:30, right? 4:38pm (I know, I checked the time before I went in) me: I have to mail this letter and buy a stamp. owner: okay, very good, very good ms london. how are you today? me: fine, thanks. is the mail here...yet? owner: regretfully, it isn't. clerk: bastards. they are doing this on purpose because they had a holiday yesterday! owner: they will come by sometime today. here miss. have a tissue. there, there now. it will be okay. we will call your house when the mail comes, okay? So at this point, there's not much I can do about the situation except leave, because you can't very well hang out at the maildrop, okay? So I go to the supermarket, kite a check to get some necessities (Now don't look at me like that. Like you've never done it in times of need) and get the hell home at around 6, where I get a message on the voicemail that goes a little bit like this.. Voice mail bitch: You have a message, dated today, at 5:22 pm! *BEEP* mailbox owner: miss london! miss london! hi! it is i, at mailboxes r us! the mail has arrived at last...and we has your....check! T_T

i have to admit, after a hard week's labor that this really made my day. I'll never look at the Charlie Brown Christmas Special the same again....

For all you people out there who got here by searching for Diane Arbus (or Diane Arbis): I don't have any pictures of her work posted here. However, if you are in San Franciso (or have the means to go...right away) there is a major exhibit going on at SFMOMA right now that is featuring almost ALL of her work. Yes, even those pictures. Speaking of which, I have a MAJOR bone to pick with the MCA...you can feature Cindy Sherman's work, even do a retrospective, but not Diane? What sort of crap is THAT? *sniff* We in the Midwest are deprived... But anyways, if you're going to go, better act fast....the exhibit closes February 8. Or better yet, take a page from my cheap ass and get the special paperback edition of Diane Arbus Revelations, now on sale at the SFMOMA bookstore. Yes, they ship.
