Ferocia Couture!

Here are the pics from our night with Christian!

"Worship Me Bitches!"

So I’m going to a cocktail party tomorrow after work.. It’s hosted by none other than CHRISTIAN SIRIANO! Winner of Project Runway! Here he is:


Tom & Shawn, Aaron & Randy, Sandy G are going, and of course, Cheryl (as my date!). I think Jaclyn is coming too!



Ok so this guy is a clothing designer.. and I have NOTHING to wear! I am going to stick out like a sore thumb! I have no “little black dress” that apparently all women are supposed to have in their closet.. I have no strappy shoes… I have these! And I rock them!


But it’s not going to rain tomorrow so these are OUT! Oh what I wouldn’t give for a visit from Stacy London and Clinton Kelly from “What Not to Wear”! Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone? Hello…..

Wish me luck!

Summer Solstice 2008

Solstices occur twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is most oriented toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to reach its northernmost and southernmost extremes. Today marker the Summer Solstice, the beginning of summer.. In the Northern Hemisphere the longest day and shortest night of the year occur on this date. In 2008 that day is TODAY! June 20, 2008 at 7:59 P.M. EDT or 4:59 PDT.

And what a perfect day too. The weather peeps say it’s supposed to get to the upper 70’s today. The only thing that would make it better would be if I were home, sitting on the back patio with a fantastic Strawberry Margarita in one hand and a good book in the other.

Speaking of books… My sister has recommended a couple for me to read. They are, “"The magic of thinking big"; "Feel the fear and do it anyway"; "What to say when you talk to yourself"; "The Secret". I hope to pick up the first two up this weekend.


More random things.. I’m going to a cocktail party next Thursday hosted by Christian Siriano, recent winner of Project Runway! He’s FIERCE! It’s going to be fun! Tom & Shawn, Aaron & Randy, Cheryl & ME! and Sandy are going for sure…. We’ve RSVP’d! They are going to auction off one of Christian’s creations and the proceeds are going to Gay City Health Project. It should be a lot of fun.

Paraskavedekatriaphbia

Paraskavedekatriaphobia means Fear of Friday the 13th. I'm not afraid! I even have a black cat! His name is Charles or Charlie if he's not in trouble. This morning we were doing our best NOT to let the black cat cross our path, but it didn't work. A friend Derick gave me two 4 leaf clovers he found and another friend Neil gave me $20 so I guess on this day, Friday June 13th 2008, I will buy some Lotto tickets! I figure what the hell... Someone has to win right? Why not me!

Things I would do if I won the Lottery....

Pay off my car
Pay off my bills
Pay off my parents house
Give my son enough money for college
Take my family on a vacation to Norway
Buy some land out toward Mt. Rainier
Build a log house

There are tons more thing I would do, but this is a good start...

Here's Charles! In the second pic he's stealing the dogs toy and PugZee is not happy!

Chooka!

I just bought myself a pair of fantastic Chooka Boots! I love them! They are so comfy and I totally ROCK them!

Kmart is promoting abstinence!

I found this posted on OMGblog and thought it was Funny! I had to share...



I thought Kmart's heart was in the right place after they stuck by Martha Stewart when she went to jail, but I've just learned that they are selling these disturbing, pro-abstinence sweatpants.

Aside from the fact that abstinence-only education has been proven not to work and is a dangerous substitute for real sex education ("A condom? What's that? Okay, just the tip. That won't impregnate me with your illegitimate child."), if I were designing abstinence-only bottoms, they most definitely would not be drawstring! One quick pull and you're in.

"Howard be thy name.."

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states
that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'
