So anyway, I was just reminded about Gizoogle.net. You know how there’s an International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Well, Gizoogle.net translates a website into (oh, what’s the best way to put this?) street speak. I just used Gizoogle.net to re-read the last two posts on my site here and it was hilarious. Two posts…

Merry Tuesday
Seriously. Christmas is on a Tuesday this year. This isn’t a holiday, it’s playing hooky from work. Maybe I’d Understand Better if I Were A Christian, but I call shenanigans on Christmas on a Tuesday. So this week I get to work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? I had to work yesterday. I have to…
25 lbs of owie
So, I picked up Scooby briefly the other day. Gene thinks that’s how I hurt my back but I disagree. However, what the hell, he’s probably right. I still love picking up my Scooby-Doo, even if he currently smells like a petting zoo. (Rhymes totally unintended)
The De-Grinchification of LaineyD…
So. I totally just spent the last hour falling into a YouTube hole watching/listening to all of the songs on my “Acceptable Xmas Songs” post from 2006 and updating the links on my original post to the YouTube links (mostly for no good reason, but at least annually I review this post to remind myself that…
20 years ago
Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor…
Listen…
Hearing country music has always made me want to punch someone in the face. It always will.
A few words on journalism…
So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…
Frankly, I blame Eric Clapton for this…
(watch out, this may be the blog post to get me kicked out of my family…) So, the other day I was driving around and one of Gene’s Richard Cheese songs came on the iPod. Let’s agree that it was his lounge lizard version of Baby Got Back (which is a pretty good version, until…
Lindsey Lohan Sucks…
(Subtitled, Read Any Good Books Lately?) So, I’m reading this book. It says “Lindsey Lohan Sucks” on the side, but inside it’s “Twilight.” I started it when I was sick last week. Last week, I read “Lace II”, “Zoya” and “Mini-Shopaholic.” Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages. Granted, I started “Twilight” late in the…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
