BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 9th, 2008

Any of my peeps who work at Turner: I wanna know who the fuckwad is whose job it is to decide when to use the term “Breaking News.” Breaking News used to just be for things like Tornado Warnings, Presidential Assassination, and terrorist attacks. Then along came 9/11 and now every bit of news that “breaks” is breaking news, in bold type and all caps. I’m sorry, but you idiots just left a story about the Presidential election to give me BREAKING NEWS about Lance Armstrong coming out of retirement.

This is a guy who rides a bike. Seriously? Do we really look that stupid? Stop insulting my intelligence and wasting my time. I do that just fine on my own with Facebook.

!Outlander Graphic Novel!

September 7th, 2008

So anyone who knows me or reads Dogwood Girl knows that I seriously heart Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series of books. You know the Twilight series? I was pretty addicted. I am ten times more addicted to Outlander than Twilight, and these are actually smart and well-written!

Well, it seems that Gabaldon is doing an Outlander graphic novel, loosely following events in the first book, Outlander, but from Murtagh’s point of view. Love me some Murtagh! First of all, holy crap. Second of all, this guy is doing the illustrations, and he looks like a great artist. It comes out next year, and so does the next Outlander series book, An Echo In The Bone. Not only that, but Echo won’t be the last. Praise sweet Jesus on a pogo stick!

I just can’t wait to see what his interpretation of Jamie will be. Or Black Jack for that matter. It’s like a train wreck. I want so badly for it to be good, but I’m scared to look, but I can’t not look. You can see some early Claire illustrations here.

Awkward

September 5th, 2008

In an ongoing attempt to publicly humiliate myself, I give you one of my top five most embarrassing photos of all time.


Feathered hair, which just doesn’t work on curly hair, and straight-haired moms just don’t understand that. Nice sweater vest. Nice upturned collar. Nice braces. Egads. . .

At least in the outtakes below, I went ahead and laughed at myself. I am sure everyone else was laughing at me. It is just painful, and in a million years, I will never forget how much those three years sucked ass.

I triple dog dare you to try and come up with a worse photo.

First Day of School

September 4th, 2008

I realized on Tuesday morning, as I got Tiller ready to go to her first day at the new school, that we almost forgot to take any pictures. I really wanted to never forget to take pictures of her, what with her being the second child and all. So, we rushed around, and took a picture and a snippet of video, and then the memory card was full, even though there was seemingly nothing on it, and then Todd spent a half hour figuring out the problem, and Gee, isn’t it great that technology makes our life so much easier.

Anyway, here is the video and a pic of the Tills. Notice that she is holding her new tote bag. Her school doesn’t allow backpacks. At first, I was about to get all riled up, like they were worried that her bag might contain a handgun, and the tote would make it easier for Security to check her bag while they were frisking her for bodily weapons, but alas, it seems that it just makes it easier to slip her artwork in and out. Which i get. So, instead of buying their stupid ten dollar churchy bag (you want my kid to advertise for your church, you better give her an endorsement deal), I bought her the cute Target one with the record player on it. Take that, bitches!

Cat’s Eye

September 3rd, 2008

I was going to blog about Tiller and the importance of her first day of school, and all that jazz. Then Jason B. sent me his yearbook photo from Yearbook Yourself (who knew Jason could look like John Denver?), and obviously, some things just pre-empt previously planned posts.

I give you my yearbook photo, 1960:


Yeah, if I didn’t have Eagle Eyes, I am pretty sure I would try to rock the Cat’s Eyes. . .

Rollie’s Fifth Birthday

September 2nd, 2008

So, I already did the sappy letter post, but here’s the fun stuff! We had Rollie’s party at the pool. Not a lot of folks could make it, since it was a holiday weekend, but we had fun anyway!

Lightning McQueen cake, which had to be fixed when they put “Happy Birthday, Bollie” on it.

Wow

August 29th, 2008

This election just got really interesting. I can’t believe that they knocked Obama’s speech off the front page that quickly. Pretty brilliant move, in my opinion. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
