December was a crap month to end a fairly lovely year. I’m hoping that 2008 goes a bit better.

And just to bring it all back to Things Which Are Just Plain Wrong (Yet Strangely Appropriate), when you’re not at work, try searching for Bareback Mountain, the porno knockoff of Brokeback Mountain. Their careful, tasteful homage to the original seems to have stopped at the cowboy hats.

Black Friday: Threat or Menace?
Tuesday, November 1st, 2005Throughout the United States and Canadia, Thanksgiving is celebrated/endured/slept-through every year on the last Thursday of November. More importantly, a lot of people have the following Friday off of work, and every year millions of retailers celebrate Black Friday with fabulous bargains, a testing of the waters before the pre-Christmas shopping binges.
This has, of course, led to the anti-consumerist backlash of Buy Nothing Day.
Most years, out of post-feast indolence I end up celebrating Buy Nothing Day by default. This year, I shall be celebrating Thanksgiving in scenic Malta, Montana (seat of Phillips County!), and I think I may have better odds of observing BND this year.

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005Bad Valentine’s Day? It could have been worse. Much, much worse.
Ex-boyfriend poems. Sample:
I wouldn’t know whether or not it happens to everyone,
Since I wasted my youth on only you.
Dating guidelines. 66) 66) Of all the reasons for using a condom with someone, their recurring heroin habit is the least preferred.
Fuzzy memories.
There comes a point in every relationship when you have to ask yourself, “Am I willing to stick a bottle of A1 sauce up this person’s butt?†And in that relationship the answer was, “Just once and now I never want to see you again.â€
Let alone trying to find somebody, period.
1. “Oh, you’re Asian. Sorry, not interested.”
2. “Oh, I’m attracted to Asians, but you’re too fat. Sorry, not interested.”
3. “I’M REALLY INTO ASIANS THEY ARE SO SMOOTH CAN YOU PLEASE COME OVER MY WIFE WILL BE BACK IN 2 HRS!!!!!”
happy birthday to me!
