A couple of weeks ago, Rene came into town to visit my sister. By the end of the evening I was begging him to marry her so we could hang out on holidays. JUST CONSIDER ME YOUR YENTA.
First we had lunch at the Zen Garden where I look like a cool shades ghost!
Then we drove into the magical city...
To go bowling, or as I call it, "shame ball."
This is a picture of Rene and Kristen laughing at me as I bowl a fucking 39.
But narry do I care!
"I'd rather be sailboating..."
Kristen tries to explain how not to be a failure.
Then we give up and go to Saddle Ridge.
Now the night is classing up!
Oh holy crap Kristen is cute.
And I am looking like I have lost my competition pony.
I love my seester...
Allow me to horrify you and your children...
Yayayayayay.

I want to move into one of these houses. Some of them have some majorly ugly furniture, but the architecture is fantastic.
The commercial work is not as hot.
I don't know shit about photoshop...
1) Faith Hill
2) Britney Spears
3) Eva Longoria
I need to learn, so that if I ever have this haircut again, I can just make myself new one.
Me: Was that woman wearing a Topsy Tail????RD: The skinny woman? Yes. I made my sister a Topsy Tail.
Me: When? Recently?
RD: I don't know exactly. Back when she would have wanted one. It was on TV and I was like "I could make that so easily."
Me: So when you were little?
RD: Yes.
Me: That's so cute. Was she happy?
RD: She wasn't that happy.
Me: Why not?
RD: Because I'm pretty sure real Topsy Tails don't cut you when you use them.
Last time:
We traded outfits.
Raymi read me a book...
Look at my dyke hair.
So peep this: I have a little trip to Toronto planned for next week, in which I will be conducting business and also visiting my dear little raymi the minx. Last time we hung out was many years ago while I was internshippin' it in New York and I made the architect I was working for drive me to the Canadian border and drop me off. I'm glad that he was fine with the idea of freeing me into Canada to disappear for several days, and not work on projects. I managed to catch a train to Oakville where I met Raymi for the first time and she showed me all the wild joys of the Canadian life, many of a both scandalous and beautiful nature, including what it feels like to run into dudes in a bar who were seriously on roller blades complete with knee and wrist pads. I'm fairly sure Raymi flashed the bar tender several times and told everyone she met that her name is Raymi the Minx and that she is famous.
Which is true.

I am not gone forever, I'm just getting ready to move again. I won't be settled for a few months, but I'll let you know where I'll be as I move via my magical camera. We had a wild Kentucky Derby weekend, but alas, it is over and now it is time to hunker down and purchase tupperware and suitcases and to say good bye to my Kentucky friends.

This Sunday I spent the afternoon sliding down dangerously steep and treacherous stretches of hillside, almost losing my shoes and several times losing my dignity. I also climbed a train trellis to prove my James Bondness.
Very tough men.
We climbed up this, and then kept climbing.
Lindsey was very relaxed.
Ode to Rachel!
Be intimidated by my man arms.
And by my man.
If you think hiking sounds exhausting and boring, you're wrong. You'll be to jacked up on the magic if your own adrenaline that if you start feeling tired, all you really need to do is start running up the mountain side until you swear you're going to suffocate on your own windpipe. Voila. You still have another few miles in you because your body is affectively tricked.
Kentucky is beautiful. I want to live in its woods.
Dear The News,
PLEASE. I don't know what you want. I don't if everyone on your writing staff has huge vehicles, but STORIES ABOUT HOW HIGH GAS PRICES ARE ARE BORING. It's like listening to a discussion at the senior center about the price of milk, or ... THE PRICE OF GAS. WHICH, BY THE WAY, IS THE LAST THING I DISCUSSED WITH MY GRANDMA. I have a hard enough time listening to stupid "man on the street" comments about the democratic candidates, or whether or not their murder neighbors seemed normal. How about a story about how we're all lucky our cars aren't run on orange juice, which grows in Florida, and isn't dug out of dinosaur graves in the center of the earth below Saudi Arabia? I know it's expensive. I put $50 in a Jetta yesterday, but I want to learn about the world when I watch the news, not about how two shorts-wearing car poolers from Bethesda hate spending money on gas. Hating high gas prices is like hating it when a dog pees on your shoes. You hate spending money on unfun gas unless you happen to be a universe-punishing billionaire who likes to watch the plebs suffer by pouring gallons of gas on your lawn and laughing as the indigent protest.
PLEASE STOP THESE STORIES.
yours,
Bunny

Gorgeous furniture made from plane parts.
I made this for you.
Last night at a bar I told a girl she looked like Jenny Lewis, who is in the band "Jenny Lewis and the News." In the middle of saying this statement, I realize it was totally false, but went with it anyway.

Stars, Bars and Skin
A congressman cracks down on soft porn at the PX.
By Dan Ephron | Newsweek Web Exclusive
Republican Congressman Paul Broun, the representative from Georgia's 10th District, wants to stop the sale of Playboy and Penthouse at military bases around the world, invoking an argument that at the very least is scientifically questionable: that consuming even soft pornography makes men more prone to committing sex crimes. A doctor by profession, Broun says he began drafting the bill after a constituent described her distress at having watched, along with her young children, an officer buy a nudie magazine at a military exchange store. "The military teaches to respect officers, and her little kids were seeing this military officer … there in uniform, buying pornography at the PX," Broun told NEWSWEEK.
Congress already has a law from 1996 banning the sale of "sexually explicit" material on military bases. But deciding what qualifies as sexually explicit was left to a Department of Defense review board, which gathers periodically to examine a range of magazines and DVDs. In its review two years ago the board banned such titles as Bootylicious and Juggs but decided that Penthouse has enough nonsexual content to be acceptable (Playboy had already been allowed). Lt. Col. Les Melnyk, a Pentagon spokesman, said the board members are kept anonymous in order not to expose them to outside pressure but have included active, reserve and retired members of the military, military spouses, members of dual-military couples and DoD civilians. "The board is very disciplined in adhering to the definitions described in the Instruction [from Congress], and has access to legal counsel to assist members in interpreting the law and the Instruction," Melnyk said in an e-mail.
Broun, who is 61, wants to take away the board's discretion by inserting into the old law some new language delineating terms like "sexually explicit." His bill gets (readers be warned) blush-inducingly specific. It defines nudity, for instance, as the display of "human genitals, pubic area, anus, anal cleft, or any part of the female breast below a horizontal line across the top of the areola."
Even for people who support the congressman from Georgia (he has attracted 16 co-sponsors since introducing the bill April 16), it must be hard not to conclude that he's fighting yesterday's war. Judd Anstey, the public relations manager for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), says the combined sales of Playboy and Penthouse at bases around the world last year amounted to less than 3 percent of AAFES's total magazine sales. (Magazines generally make up only a small part of sales by AAFES stores, which stock everything from candy bars to plasma TVs.) For Broun's generation the pictures in Playboy and Penthouse were probably the dirtiest things around. In the Internet age GIs with laptops are never more than a couple of clicks away from much raunchier porn.
Broun says the point is pornography shouldn't be subsidized by taxpayers. And he insists nudie magazines have taken a toll on the armed services. "Sexual assault is going up within the military, and I certainly think there's a very high likelihood the pornography being sold in military PXs is contributing to that," he says. Both points are off the mark. Anstey says 98 percent of AAFES's budget comes from income generated at its stores—not from the government. And most studies have shown no link between the kind of pictures featured in Playboy and sexual violence.
Where a link does often exist is between a politician's rising rhetoric and his quest for re-election. Broun has been in Congress since last year, when he was elected to replace the 10th District representative, who died of cancer. This July he faces a primary vote against a conservative member of the state's House of Representatives, Barry Fleming, in a district Broun describes as very Republican. But Broun denies the bill is linked to the election. "The purpose is just to get DoD to uphold the law," he says.

Finally! A bill that protects soldiers from looking at anal clefts. Thank you, congressman, for taking away people's rights for no reason. I'm glad there aren't bigger things the troops need you to worry about like, oh, say THE INTERMINABLE WAR IN IRAQ.

These two are competing for my favorite songs of all time.
Aguas de Marco by Tom Jobim
Feel Flows by The Beach Boys
I think Feel Flows takes it for the win because of that sick flute solo that, somehow, makes me rock the fuck out to the flute.

I just spilled tea on my cat. She sort of realizes it, but every time she goes to lick it off, she makes a face of regret and disgust.
By the way: Tups mailed me a box of Celestial Seasonings Sweet Coconut Thai Tea and it is my new favorite! Drink it with a tbsp of evaporated milk! My only regret is that it is not pumping with caffeine, but it's nice because I now have a night time tea of choice.
This wasn't supposed to be about this.

bitches ain't shit, acapella. you enjoy that.
thank davey for sending this to me.
I skipped out of work at noon and spent the day running around down town. We went to a Bats game last night compliments of my work. I downed a bunch of sugary almonds and took pictures with the new 85mm - 155mm lens we picked up yesterday. Now I can spy on people! What a world of unlimited delights! A new lens is like having a new set of teeth or something. I feel like everything is slightly off when I try to set up a shot.

Last night I rode a mechanical bull and bowled a 39. A quarter of those points were scored with an overhand throw.
I had an amazing evening with my sister and her internet boyfriend.

Apparently Feeders Supply (the pet lover's store) is hosting an awkwardly named Pet Derby Hat Photo Contest 2008. All I know is that I want a pet pig so that I can dress it up and abuse it with my love. Good thing I have until May 2!

Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

This morning I arrived to work as usual only to find out that I was being whisked away to the Galt House for a Kentucky Derby luncheon of steaks and mint juleps. It was very exciting and the many of the ladies were wearing bright colored skirt-suits with pony themed jewelry and giant hats. The mayor was there, and so was the host of Inside Edition and we got a bunch of Kentucky Derby swag and I LOVE THIS CITY. Tomorrow my company has a spot on the Mighty Ohio where we will watch the biggest fireworks display in North America and drink drinks and eat a catered lunch and watch an air show.
On the 30th I'm going to watch a steam boat race. It's the Belle of Louisville vs. The Belle of Cincinnati. I will simply die if Cincinnati beats us. Then, onto the Oaks and the Kentucky Derby! High ho silver! I'm so excited!
most important comments
dogboy: Juno was saved by the actors performances. Otherwise it would've been another indie movie trying too hard to be witty. Like Gilmore Girls in film form.
christa t: DOGBOY HOW DARE YOU!!!! GILMORE GIRLS IS INFINITELY SUPERIOR TO JUNO!!! I HATE YOU FOR TALKING SHIT ABOUT MY 'GIRLS!!!! JUNO SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!
bunny mcintosh: AGREE. WHO DO YOU THINK IS HOTTER CHRISTA? RORY OR LORELAI? I CAN'T DECIDE! I WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME TO WHEN I WAS 13 AND GET PREGNANT! THEN I COULD HAVE MY OWN RORY GIRLMORE!!!

Just when I was thinking to myself "Oh great. Smart People is coming out. Now all the assholes who liked Sideways will have something to blather on about for the next six months," when I decided to watch the trailer. AND LO AND BEHOLD: 53 seconds in it MENTIONS that it's from "the producers of Sideways."
That movie made me want to throw myself through a plate glass door and land on a lawn full of fighting dogs just to get away from seeing Paul Giamatti's snide, whiny, quibbling, Pinot Grigio hating jowley little crying jaws. Congratulations, characters: you are all the same kind of arrogant and neurotic I was when I was a bitchy 17 year old who just started liking philosophy books and therefore thought everyone else I'd ever met was stupid. HOW DID IT WIN AN OSCAR? DIE IN A FIRE, 2004 OSCARS! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS.

Such a loveable land to me
How honestly my beggar should be
The song's out of key again
My fools, my things
We're digging the things
If the candlelit page again
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
My moon and me
Not skirty swift bean
It's the dirtiest clean I know
My care, my co-lead barber I know
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on things
Take it slow
Take it easy on me
Shed some light
Shed some light on it please
My moon
The moon my man
My moon
The moon my man

So far, The Philadelphia Story is my favorite movie of all time. Anything I need to add to my netflix? For some reason as a child I missed a lot of pop culture because my mom rented movies like Hand That Rocked The Cradle and watched Little House and Dr. Quinn, while my dad rented Delta Force and Die Hard and watched Walker Texas Ranger, which they found inappropriate for me. So basically I watched a lot of prairie dramas and cried when Pa Ingles died in real life. At 16 I consciously decided I needed to catch up (because I was dating someone who was big into "films"), and watched Star Wars for the first time, Pulp Fiction for the first time and a bunch of Igmar Bergman movies (which I assumed were the most culturally relevant movies I could rent). I had never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's until I rented it two days ago. I saw North By North West last night. I saw Heathers probably, oh, say, a year ago. I haven't ever seen Coming to America, so if you make a joke about that to me, I probably won't understand.
