Cold Weather in June Turns Me into a Crabby Bitch

This was the kind of mood I was in this morning, waking up to a freezing-ass new apartment, as eyewitnessed by my new romantic interest, Bob’s, iPhone:

What the fuck is up with this cold-ass weather? It is supposed to be June not February. WAKE UP MOTHER NATURE, GODDAMNIT!

Overwhelmed

From MySpace Blog post:
Mood: Rejuvenated (despite being overwhelmed)
Coming back from vacation is always hard. I left Seattle about two weeks ago with an overwhelming desire to pack it in and go home (so to speak.) Arriving in NYC was exhilarating to start out, but had taken its course by the end of last week. I [...]

Scaaarrrryyyyy!!!!!

On a recent trip to Borders, I purchased two distinctly different magazines which featured cover articles on two of my absolute favorite female perfomers on Planet Earth.

1. Oscar-Winning Actress Tilda Swinton in Out Magazine, a GLBT publication.

2. Experimental Singer/Performance Artist Diamanda Galas in Terrorizer, a UK-based music magazine predominately devoted to the darker side of [...]

In Defense of Goldfrapp’s Seventh Tree

There seems to be some self-righteous hipster dickwads that have been displaying petty disdain over the new Goldfrapp record, Seventh Tree. They can’t believe that Goldfrapp completely did away with the ridiculously overhyped glam rock/club pop hybrid nonsense and created a (insert sarcastic GASP) more lush and laidback record, akin to their gorgeous debut Felt [...]

I Realize

I realized just now that we are at the 21st of January and I still have yet to complete my 2007 year-end lists. Why am I still backtracking? I don’t know, but I want to finish it off so I can move onto the future. I am 5 days away from my 35th birthday. YIKES!!! [...]

The Noise 2007 Year in Review Part 1c: I Gotta Get This Off My Chest #3

I promise this will be my last gripe about 2007. After this, I will move on. I promise.
I want to address an issue that has been really really REALLY bugging me. I sincerely hope that I’m not the only person that feels this way, but here goes:
HEY SEATTLE GUYS: DROP THE FRACKING ATTITUDE.
I’d like to think [...]

Plan 12.29.2007

2007 is winding down to a close (thank FUCKING God.) I’ve had enough of 2007. 2008 may very well be the year that saves me! My 35th birthday is approaching very quicky. I can’t wait. I have big (I use this word with cautious optimism) plans for the new year. There’s many things in my [...]

Wedding Bells

NOT FOR ME, SILLY!
This afternoon I am off for the sunny skies of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the upcoming wedding of my best friend, Jessica and her husband-to-be, Randy. I’m really excited that someone so near and dear to my heart has finally met her mate. Maybe there is hope for me after all.

*Sigh* It’s Actually Thursday Even Though I Was Writing About It Being Another Monday

**Note: I failed to finish writing Monday’s intended blog entry so I am publishing it Thursday. Funny funny!!
Alas, Pride weekend is over. I did manage to catch the last 45 minutes of the Pride parade downtown along 4th Avenue. Afterwards, I started venturing into Seattle Center, along with what seemed to be everyone in the [...]
