Somewhere between Bell's Palsy and death

Having some issues, apparently
I really love the paper's photo department; remember how I was complaining about having to take a new mug for this year's fair coverage? Rather than listen to me bitch about it, they just used my old photo, which still looks like me, only thinner. Yay! That makes me happy.

So, I'm not sure what this means, but a lot of my dreams, when I remember them, have me traveling somewhere out of the country. This time? It was Russia.

Yay! More war crimes!
Posted the photos from Saturday, for anyone who wants to see. Second verse, same as the first: Yahoo!, photos, regionbroad711, lookit. The folder's called "War Crimes, pt. 2."

I wish the ones of the steel mills off the lake came out better, but we wouldn't dare get close enough to find out, since, you know, the COPS on Lake Michigan and everything.

Sinister ending to an otherwise fantastic week
Well, Mer got off to the airport in one piece yesterday morning at -- oh, I guess it was something like 6:30-ish a.m. when I got her there, still somewhat reeling from my booze and pill-addled nightmare earlier Saturday. I'm not going to be more specific, other than to say that:

1) No, I did NOT OD on anything, but while I'm not turning into a raging pillhead, improper use of pharmaceuticals can be a damn good time;
2) I did something I've never done before and thought I never would: go out on a boat drunk and without a lifepreserver. After I got over the initial terror of holding the seat for dear life, it was all Kate Winslet-stylee for me (except this time, I held onto the windshield for dear life; I don't swim very well, and I bet I really wouldn't swim well drunk); and
3) In what can be described as a kind of drunken girlie hissyfit, I left Mer in a strange setting with people she didn't really know, and for that, I'm horribly, horribly sorry.

So there you go. There were no scenes out of The Accused going on or anything -- Deliverance, maybe, but nobody got hurt. I'll post more pictures later.

Mating rituals in a Midwestern town
Since Yahoo! won't let me just post links to my photo albums, I'll let you have VIP status should you want to see. Go to: Yahoo! photos, and then: regionbroad711; password: lookit.

Another observation in Mer's sociological study of Americana: When we were in the second bar (sidenote: Xanies and Shiraz are an interesting combo -- not last night, sillies. ToNIGHT), this chick was bending over the bar, and the dude to whom she was talking promptly stuck his pointer finger in the woman's shorts-clad buttcrack. I'm not sure if this is the way men pick up women in these here parts, but that's what Meridith observed, and that's pretty gross.

[UPDATE: I should clarify that I was the one who in fact saw the Ex-Lax Dude's smooth move -- I caught it and looked away like, "Whoooaaaa," and he got this look like, "Oh, huhuhuh." But when I told Mer about it, she was horrified.]

“Do you do anal?”
Before I go any further, remember how I said I was glad that the unholiest of unholy unions didn't happen at my house? Um, yeah. Guess what? Adrian Zakula was naked. IN. MY. HOUSE. I get this phone call yesterday call from Mer that, while I was covering the fair, he stopped by after work, and they did it in the only room in the crib that I'VE NEVER DONE IT IN. Damn it. The cat is STILL traumatized.

Now, on with the show.

The crappy effects of getting loaded
I had every intention of sleeping until 9-ish, all snug as a bug in a rug because of the uncharacteristically cool weather and all, but THAT is not happening this morning. Why? Because I probably had just one beer too many last night, and that coupled with the fact that my sleep schedule has been all fucked up for the past five days has me wide awake at 6:07 a.m. Believe me, if I had a crabby smiley face icon to insert, it would be inserted.

In the meantime, the unholiest of unholy unions (sans Rebecca) should be just about finished consumating itself. The best part about that? It didn't happen in my crib.

A treatise on rank poverty, Mer stylee
In this episode, our heroine Mer talks about the Slovenian Gypsy village she spent time in. Now, she absolutely loved the time she spent in the Balkans and would go back in a heartbeat, but like anyone who's lived in the civilized world for even a month, the poverty in the village became entirely too oppressive. (Oh, and I realize this would be a lot funnier to y'all if y'all could see the expressions and gestures that go along with all this, but the dialogue itself is still pretty funny, imho.)

North and South unite
All right, so I've been talking to one of the women of Salada de Fruta, aka the previously thought-of bad people, and I'd like to issue an apology to them. It really wasn't their intention to steal from me, and although I was trying to be funny about the whole thing, I took it a bit too far and ended up hurting some people who didn't really deserve it. You know, taking a submachine gun to something that probably deserved a squirt with a water pistol before getting the mowdown. And while I'm not backing down from my original position -- copyright infringement will not be tolerated, and anyone caught doing it is subject to logging on to their site and finding an unpleasant image in its stead -- I promise to do a better job of letting the person explain themselves before getting all ghetto and insulting them and, in this case, their entire country. No, seriously, the fight is over.

Next up: Shocking the insane back to reality by sending them to a Slovenian Gypsy village.

You think!?!?
Words of wisdom from our friend Mer in the last three seconds, after watching the Nick Berg video:
Mer: You know, I don't think I'd want to be beheaded.

Shiraz, shiraz, shiraz!
Mer is here, safe and sound, except tonight? We've put down a bottle of Yellowtail and watched the movie Bully which, if you haven't seen it, is excellent. A highlight from just 3 seconds ago?
Mer: Rebecca, I just took methoyltrexate, drank like a bastard and had two shots of Atavan. It takes A LOT to kill someone.

Suckage comes from all over
Apparently, I'm not the only one with copyright issues this week: Getupgrrl over at Chez Miscarriage not only had someone rip off illustrations that she and her readers -- women suffering with infertility, btw -- created, but her puta MADE FUCKING T-SHIRTS OF THEM AND PUT THE SALE LINK TO GRRL'S WEB SITE.

I almost don't even know what to say to that, except that the person must really be feeling the effects of a weak second quarter, because profiting off someone else's heartache without that person's permission? There's a special place in hell for y'all.

I just wanna be clean. Is that so wrong!?
This couldn't be any more irritating: I've been bugging Greta all week to let me borrow her vacuum cleaner, because mine doesn't work anymore, right? So I finally get the fucker home -- it's kicking up all the dust, hair and grossness, but IT ISN'T PICKING UP. Can y'all say, "MOTHERFUCKER"!?!? I mean, I may not clean up the crib often, but when I do? I make it last, because who knows when it's happen again.

Guess I'll be running to K-Mart tomorrow morning to get a new vacuum. Grrrrrrr.

Who’s idea was this?
Has anybody ever, when listening to "Rockin' to Paradise" by Styx, ever gotten the urge to do jazzhands? No, seriously, who the hell's idea was it to EVER Let Dennis DeYoung become part of Styx? He RUINED them, he and all his Broadway reject issues. And don't even get me started about fucking "Mr. Roboto." I heard that the other night on the way home, and God, is that song ass-bad. "I'm KILROY!" What!?!?

It is the job of a good person to be honest. To be self-aware. To deliberately explore the fault lines of your character and try desperately to not inflict suffering in this strange, ghost-ridden world of worked and fabricated objects. Sometimes the jobs of writer and good person coincide. But more often they don’t. There are way more writers in the world than there are good people.
