sorry sladj, you are quiet lovely and this is one of my fav pics of all time. LOVELY!
i have no idea how i came upon this picture. searching wikipedia for something a few weeks ago... thought i'd save it for a special occasion. this isn't a special occasion, but i decided to use the pic anyways._-_Sleestak.0.jpg)
today sucks. i had work nightmares and woke up in a full panic attack. had a "talk" with my boss about my missing too much work in january (due to bad back and being incredibly burned out.) talk went well actually, but i am not sure how i am going to get through 10 hours days (starting today.) i am taking tomorrow off entirely for the funeral. my boss was fine with that, as long as i promised not to cry when discussing it with him. i am such a cry baby....
the funeral is for chris' dad who passed away this weekend. as much as i am bitching about my bad day, he's had a bad 6 months or so. sister's house hit by lightning and totally burned down, rotten mean girlfriend who didn't have the sense to know he was actually too good for her, etc.... but he's gotten through it all and become stronger for it. so now he needs his friends to get through this difficult time.
seriously, i'd rather be chased by a sleestak then deal with today.
the hair, the shoulder pads....hello 1987!
this was one of the first pics i scanned. it's todd, me, sladj and rachel, with katie sitting in front. todd is a physician's assistant in the ER, and sladj is a pediatrician. katie is married to tony "chief blackcloud" at the old job. i see rachel all the time and sladj when she's in town. she lives closer now so i hope to see her soon. unless this photo is so embarassing to her that she ends the friendship! actually, sladj looks the least "dated" out of all of us!
to see what rach and i look like now, go to my photo blog! http://glittergirlphotos.blogspot.com/
and yes, now that i have a scanner, you should all live in fear!
the poster above is from one of my favorite films. divine plays dawn davenport, a hideous girl who runs away from home after her parents don't get her cha-cha heels for xmas. she runs away and is brutally rape (by herself dressed as a man!) on a dirty mattress and has a baby girl. she leads a life of crime and is eventuallyhidesouly scarred for life. the end of the film feature her in some kind of hideous outfit, with facial scars, a mohawk and a ton of makeup, going wild on a trampoline. best movie ever!

dear kanye......
dressing up like jesus does not make you controversial, interesting, or a true artist. it just makes you a boring hack.
p.s. i recommend zak's blog for his interesting way of dealing with internet porn spammers.
someone buy me this!!!!!
my friend amy is doing the "relay for life" in for her 3rd year in a row. she's taking orders for daffodils to benefit the american cancer society. the daffodils come in bunches of 10 and are $6.50 a bunch. they are also selling a special BOYD bear (see above) that was made especially for the american cancer society. the price for the bear and a bundle of daffodils is $25.00. by selling these, she will raise money for the relay. all the donations raised will go to the american cancer society for research and development. i can take orders for amy through february 10th with delivery of the daffodils and bears around march 13th. please let me know if you are interested in purchasing any daffodils and/or the bear. i wrote about amy in december: http://glittergirl1970.blogspot.com/2005/12/my-first-nice-and-post.html#links she was my first "nice" post. i guess this is my 2nd. damn you amy for making me be nice!!!!!

freaked out monkey (tarsier) thing i found online. i need one!!! (this would make a perfect valentine's day gift! nothing says LUV like a rare and exotic monkey prone to fits of rage!!!)
ok, first off: i got a new (used) dining room set from magalotti. 6 chairs and a leaf! now i am all grown up and adult-like. this upcoming sunday dinner will be at my house in celebration of the table. also, my mom is insanely jealous that i have a larger dining room set then hers, so i'd like to have enough people over to fill all 6 chairs, just to rub it in her face.
what else? i had another great weekend hanging out with matt. except his cat peeing on me a 2nd time. this time he only got my arm, thankfully. (the fact that i use the word "thankfully" is a bad sign of things to come..... "he only ran me over once, thankfully!")
i have discovered something top secret at starbuck's, called the "short cappuccino". cheaper and better then a "tall capp", this doesn't even appear on the menu! read the facts at: http://www.slate.com/id/2133754/
click this link http://www.thisislondon.com/showbiz/celebbb/articles/21499605?source=Metro&ct=5 to see what pete burns (from the band dead or alive) is up to these days. i tried to upload the image to my blog, but it keeps failing, which is probably for the best....
that's all for now. i did want to mention that lobster messiah is winning my mom over as her new favorite blog. does lobster messiah's mother (mary, i assume) read my blog??? i think not!
please dear lord above, make this little gif file work!
(star's thoughts on the war in iraq, and bush & bin laden:) "You know what?" she added, "At some point, one of these men has to put it back in his pants and zip up the zipper at some point." "This isn't somebody whipping it out," shot co-host Meredith Vieira. "You know what, I'm a little tired of posturing back and forth," Jones replied.
that's all i've got off the top of my head, but please feel free to add or debate. as always, arguements are encouraged here at glittergirl in the city!
over in some other comment section, there's talk of a glittergirl blog party. i am loving the idea and looking into booking leslie and the lys, or at least finding some cool gem sweaters at the thrift store for everyone to wear!
speaking of that, i was googling for new pics of leslie, and found this blog: http://lobstermessiah.blogspot.com/ this is my first endorsement of a stranger's blog, and said stranger ought to be impressed and greatful!
quote of the day: "people talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. the dog only bites and gnaws, that's all he can do. he would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it." (fydor dostoevsky) 
"Frederick Exley, a native of Watertown, New York, is best known as the author of an obscure but highly regarded book, A Fan's Notes, originally published by Harper & Row in 1968. Not quite a novel and not quite a memoir (Exley suggested it be referred to as "a fictionalized autobiography"), A Fan's Notes is a sardonic account of mental illness, alcoholism, and failure to measure up to the American dream -- as well as the black hole of sports fandom."* denotes substance abuse problems (past and/or present)
