Yesterday afternoon I finished reading The Kill Bill Diaries which was David Carradines account of what happened while filming these amazing movies. I closed the book and ruminated over what an egotistical douchebag the guy was then came in the house and turned on the computing machine and found out that the old dude had been found dead.

I was forced to watch Kung Fu as a kid and for some reason it always kind of creeped me out. I prefer all the other Carradines to David. Seems like it was an appropriate way for him to die. Rest in peace, you decrepit old perv.

Some days would be better spent running around punching fuckers in the face. It would be much more relaxing.

No recollection as to where I got this picture or the details behind it, but I stare at it a lot. There is something chilling about the swirling masses turning into this giant freaky eyeball.
Religion scares me a little bit.

Yesterday can be summed up in these two experiences:
An older woman was in my line practically vibrating with excitement over the fact it was the last day of Bush. It was adorable. She spit a few insults and then gushed about the beauty of the day. Right behind her was a young guy in a Coast Guard t-shirt and his girlfriend. I asked him if he was currently serving and let him know about the military discount on Tuesdays. He said he had never been in our store before, but it was good to know. The woman in front of him turned around and said "OH! Let me pay for your food! Thank you for what you do!" She handed me some money and took off.
Awww.
It was almost time for me to go home and a regular came up to the end of my line. I've always gotten a weird feeling from her, but couldn't place why because she was always perfectly pleasant. I thought it was charming that a woman my mom's age used a Sex Pistols lunch box for a purse. She stopped in front of the magazine rack and pointed at a picture of Obama and said "The only black thing about him is his wife".
Ew.
Today was gorgeous and sunny and people were all smiling and puffy-eyed and I'm weirdly ok with it.

Everyone can go fuck themselves with rusty knives.
I am too tired to give a shit any longer.

Ok.
Right now on my television Anthony Bourdain is attempting to play hockey.
This is like porn to me.

I've always kind of hated Andy Warhol and his minions. The whole scene was so superficial and self-absorbed and....ugh. It seemed to me like a bunch of spoiled rich kids surrounding themselves with "fascinating" people and exploiting them for profit. It's everything I despise about the Business of art. One of the worst dates I ever had was a boy who insisted upon taking me to a Warhol film festival. It was torture.
I just came across this horror show and the old lady proved me right.

I’m absolutely addicted to Fox News – I love it. I love Roger Ailes … frankly I don’t really think it’s biased.
Yeah. She's a moron with awful taste.

I've been watching Generation Kill and I have to stop it every five minutes to catch my breath because it's so horrifying.
I wish Ed Burns and David Simon would run for public office. Some honesty would be nice for a change.
Finding the truth in anything these days is like a unicorn sighting.

oooh...the upright Dartmouth educated soldier is played by the adorable gay son in Die, Mommy, Die.
Also, the kid with the most lines is my favorite rapist vigilante who played Ziggy in The Wire.
After work I may come up with a longer and better list of reasons to watch this show.

Ok, I kind of hate the music, but this is the most awesome horse ever.
It's the hug at the end that gets me.

Oh summer and the heat. I am learning all the best ways to keep cool in my advanced age. Today me and some of the teenage hooligans that drape themselves around my home went down to the Mississippi street fair. Many people remarked on my use of a parasol. I only wonder why more people don't use them. It not only created shade, but kept strangers from touching my sweaty ass. I'm happy I've found a summer outfit that is both flattering and airy and with my floral umbrella I liked to pretend it was a different day and age where people only owned one seasonal outfit at a time.
Purchased a lovely painting that I will post pics of later. We all ate shit tons of shaved ice and had to drag the kids away from crazed militant vegans more than once. I would have talked to them while eating some delicious bbq ribs, but it was too damn hot to eat. On the way back to the car I bought an adorable bottle for ice water and two huge pillows from our future movie room. It was the best garage sale ever and if I had more money I would have purchased everything she had. There was a lamp of a naked lady doing a backbend and one of those 70's orange slice table and chair sets...ugh. I need to hone some sort of skill to use in trade.
ANYWAY...
I promised some pics of Leslie & the Lys.
 (click on the peecture for more)
Here are some pictures of the mouthgasm meal made by me and my kid last week. Mine was a stir fry made with garlic spears, fresh white corn, carrots, and yummy canned seitan. The sauce was some sort of lemon/garlic/fish sauce concoction and HOLY FUCK THAT SHIT WAS GOOD.
Thea made a strawberry rhubarb crisp that was so fucking awesome you wanted to slap her upside the head.
90% of the ingredients were free. Reason #217 that I love my job.
OH...and in case anyone was curious about the animal population in my home I have some photographic evidence of them as well.
Lola is still gorgeous. Kitty was not interested in having his picture taken. He has to be in mood and might very well be in the witness protection program.
Pierre (meh...we all call him PeePee) finds the camera to be terribly frightening. It took me 15 minutes to get this shot and he was not pleased.
Rufus was actually preening and posing because he has a lot of healthy self-love.
He is also VERY SCARY.
I'm not gonna cut this shit because it's Saturday and nobody is on here on the weekends anyway.

It's too hot to leave the house so I'm gonna share some of my favorite Summery recipes that don;t require using the stove.
Carrot Cake Salad
4 large carrots, shredded
1/2 cup (or more to your taste) golden raisins
small can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup (or more to your taste) chopped nuts. (I like pecans, but any will do)
2 tsp cinnamon
handful shredded coconut
mix together 1/2 c sour cream & 1/4 c mayo(I use the tofutti kind to make this recipe vegan)
you could also use coconut cream instead of sour cream.
Mix it all up and let sit in the fridge for at least an hour before eating. Yum.
Stone Fruit Mint Salad
This is great for bruised fruit or fruits that are too tart to eat by hand. I make this a lot from culls we get at work.
A bowl full of sliced stone fruits (nectarines, plums, peaches, pluots etc. whatever you have on hand.
Mix together equal parts honey and lime juice and pour over fruit. Toss with a handful of mint leaves you have ripped apart from hand.
Really easy and so friggin good. Sometimes I do this with just tart nectarines and they end up tasting like mango.
