We just got back from Boston and are ridiculously tired. Photos for now. More later.

Check it out, Georgetti posing with Angus Scrimm at the premiere party for The Off Season. The movie was great, by the way. And I'm not even saying that 'cos Jim M. directed it.

Two birthdays this week - Laree Love and Jenny W. Two occasions to eat and drink too much. I didn't take any photos at Mama Mexico the other night as there was enough of a circus element there already with the traveling mariachi band seranading our table while the manager poured shots straight into girls mouths, while Georgetti screamed "pull a mexican train!" There is a long winded explanation for that last comment, I just don't have the wherewithall to get into it.
But I did take pictures last night. And for the record, Laree was the first to light up in the bar last weekend and claimed to have been the first to light up last night as well. Although I would have to say that that honor went to Amy who ran in the door to say something, stood over our table as we all pointed and gawked at the lit cigarette, realized what she was doing and quickly put her cigarette out on some piece of furniture. Classy lady. See more here.
And somehow, when wandering from site to site yesterday, I came across this comic "mom's cancer" and was floored by how similar it is to my dad's ongoing story. So I'm reading and crying and reading and crying and then lo and behold...there was a happy ending. And everything felt better with the world for the moment.
Its Sunday afternoon...I'm bored. Here's some pictures of Saget:

What did we learn this weekend? That Anne has no future in porn photography. Sarah and I were trying to get it on at the bar last night and left the photography duties to Anne. It was not happening. Anyway, here are some other photos.
And for sure, we gave up a toast for Russell Jones, aka Dirt McGirt, Big Baby Jesus, or more commonly known as Ol' Dirty Bastard. RIP.

So Don Wood made his debut on In a Fix last night and was repeatedly referred to as "The Woodman". I will be unable to stop referring to him as such myself from now on.
Paul C. sent me the Fuckthesouth link today, but I do have to give credit to my husband for sending it to me earlier in the week. I was just lazy about linking. You should go there now, cos with the amount of traffic they are getting it should exceed bandwith soon. (All apologies to my Southern friends - but y'know, it's all kinda true.)
Ok, speaking of the dirty south, did anyone see this map? Amazing how we are still cut across basically the same lines.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. There are now hundreds of photos up on sorry everybody - a new time waster for me.
Rachel's husband Mike was on VH1's Totally Obsessed last night. And it was HIGH-larious. At one point Mike, and some guy I have never seen before, but who is equally obsessed with Mr. T., sat down to eat a 20 year old box of Mr. T cereal. Mike proceeded to throw up on national tv. What made this even funnier (and vomit is always funny in and of itself) is that Mike's friend blamed his puking on the "niacin" in the cereal. Priceless.
Straight male seeks Bush supporter for fair, physical fight.
American Gentrifier. Funniest article title: Bed Stuy, still too black?
Billysburg Turns into Babysburg. Eeeeewwwwww. Stomach turning.
In true cliche fashion, as a person who posts a blog, I do indeed have cats and have been known to post pages of photos of said cats on this site. I try to refrain from doing so too often as I do not want to become the crazy cat lady of cyberspace. It seems having "cat blogging fridays" is now hip. Yup, still feeling a little ill here. This cat even has it's own blog.

And the West Coast reacts to the election fallout, by running to an all-organic, wheat-free, vegetarian coffee and food shop and eating a bowl of vegetarian chilli? Huh?
Outrage in Ohio and video of voter harassment from Ohio.
I received a lot of emails in regards to my last post, but my favorite was one stating that there were "small retarted monkeys" that could see through Bush's bullshit when 52% of the country seemed unable to. Why didn't I come up with that?
God, every year I say I am going to do this, but only remember part way through November. Ok, could someone give me a heads up next October? Thanks muchly.

Well, the election is over and I can just say for sure that I have never felt more disenfranchised politically than I do right now.
I don't assume that the rest of the country is somehow inhabited by human beings of a lower IQ level, so I have to believe that the cultural divide is much wider than I previously assumed it was. How else do you explain the fact that everyone I know, including the two Republicans that I work with (and possibly the only Republicans that I know) were voting for Kerry. Seriously, walking around the city before the election, there was a feeling of excitement, of hope... I was convinced that Kerry would kick some GOP ass...or at least, y'know, would win by an extremely slight margin... I felt like I was punched in the gut when I watched the election results roll in.
And Ohio...I now have a black spot in my heart for Ohio. You guys can go fuck yourselves. With one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, I hope you assholes are enjoying your welfare payments...while they last.
Lets take a look at the map, shall we?
So the most logical answer at this point seems to be Succession. That's right we will break the country into at least three sections (maybe four) And all you middle Americans and Southerners can have your Jesusland and keep on speaking in tongues and charming snakes and we will take our gay sex orgies and go home. I don't want to play anymore.
And let me touch on the "security" issue for a second. NYers voted 2-1 for Kerry. Who is really threatened here anyway? The soccer mom in Iowa, or someone who has to travel by subway in this city every day of the week?
Another option is of course, renouncing your citizenship. Although I personally find this a little extreme, I did apply for, and received, my Irish citizenship a short while after 9/11. So expatriating is always an option.

Too close to call yet, but the Red Sox won the series this year, so we all know anything is possible...

This weekend was mucho hectic. Jen, Jim and I drove to Boston and back to NYC all within 24 hours.
Then we went over to Jennie's for her annual Halloween party.
This was my favorite picture from that evening as it looked like Chris literally had the devil on one shoulder (and the devil looks really evil.)
See more here. And here is Wisely's take on the evening. Shit! I forgot that we drunkenly called Tracy to wish her a happy birthday at um...midnight and then like 4ish? Whooops.
Tomorrow is voting day. Here are some simple rules to follow and a heads up to all voting in NYC - polling hours are 6am to 9pm.
