Christine O’Donnell, Goth Queen

as much as i love bill mahr, can’t clicky. i cannot be arsed to listen to her voice at 4:30 in the a.m. it’s the only time of day i can call my own and i refuse to make my ears bleed.

t/j
today is yom kippur. the mac daddy of jewish holidays. instead of drinking coffee and chain smoking, i’m supposed to be fasting, not to mention-praying. with no tv, no driving, no nuthin you can think of doing. not a sip of water. nothing. you are supposed to suffer today. remember, this is the OT, when god was smite-full and pissy. i will ignore it as usual, but do join me stinquers in feeling such schadenfreude this morning. our ratbastard is in jerusalem for this! with a bunch of people doing the Full Kippur. not only fasting, but no electricity! a new one on me. my grandparents did the secular americanized version. fast…as long as you can. and other modifications. he can’t go 5 minutes without smoking or eating, so he’s having soo much fun today! poor rat. he’s in synagogue right now wishing for a quick death. here’s why i haven’t left him yet: he makes me laugh.
so, rat, what are you praying and atoning for?
“i’m praying to god to forgive my sins. i’m praying to god for you to find forgiveness for me. i’m praying to god you shut the fuck up about it already”
before lightening strikes me, i think i’ll have a word or two with Him, y’know, just in case.

Rip his face off, Baked!

It would make more sense if she said: “I dabbled in Warcraft.”

@baked:
Oy. The whole fasting thing would drive me nuts too.

Party time! Excellent!

@JNOV:
HAHAHA..we’re so going to hell. god is already pissing and shitting all over me in the form of a puppy, who up until today was 90% housebroken. oooh…witchcraft…JOODOO !!!
i’m still not cancelling my hair appt.

@baked: Well, thank you, god, I’m not the only one.

How old is your puppy now? Lucy is FIVE AND A HALF MONTHS and should not be peeing on my floor! But this morning I found a half dried puddle from some time last night, and I can’t figure out for the life of me (a) how this is possible and (b) how I missed it last night! Argh.

@baked: My wife and I are going to break our non-fast with burritos from Campos, our local favorite. I’m pretty sure that’s called for in Leviticus somewhere.

@ManchuCandidate: Isn’t “dabbling in witchcraft” just one of those college indiscretions that all gals go through – like midnight popcorn and backgammon?

@Dodgerblue: I checked Leviticus 4, but unless those are brain-filled burritos, nope.

Oh wait, what? That linkie on the left isn’t the real Old Testament?

what the hell was she doing on Bill Maher’s show in the first place?

@baked: Would it hurt to pray a little? I’m just asking. You don’t have to listen. When did you ever listen? Before you married him, didn’t I say? Didn’t I warn you he was fickle? Anyhow. I’m fine. I’ll manage somehow. Don’t worry. You have your own life. Get on with your life.

@peggynooner: Oh wait, what? That linkie on the left isn’t the real Old Testament?

It should be. Well, basically, it is. Job is my fave so far.

Bella was 5 months yesterday, and as it turns out, she is not regressing, she’s sick! she just threw up all over the bed then crawled into her crate.
isn’t Lucy in a crate at night/naps? it took me forever to convince her, but she loves it now and what a break for me. (thank you mum for pestering me to death like a good mum!!! aka benedick)
i was talking to her softly after she got in, and told her what a special crate it is–it was Sergio’s. breakdown. hysterical sobbing ensues. it is 9:28 in the morning and it is already qualifying for one lousy fucking day. my grandmother always told me…god will get you!!!
NOW i’m cancelling the hair appt. as i have the willies. no more mocking. i’m shutting the computer now til sundown and going somewhere to SUFFER.

@Noony: it’s kind of like the LUGs at women’s colleges….

@baked: Oh, no! Hopefully she just ate something that gave her a temporary tummy ache. Lucy threw up a stomach full of cat shit and mud in puppy kindergarten last week — very embarrassing for me. When we were out in the yard earlier that day, I was reading a magazine instead of keeping a close eye on her.

Yes, Lucy sleeps in her crate at night, but I have not been crating her at all during the day. I know this is going to come back to bite me in the ass when I can’t take her with me and have to stuff her in. She accepts going in the crate at night if she’s sleepy enough and I give her a “high value” treat, but she thinks it stinks that Gracie can sleep on the bed and she can’t.

Her “accident” last night probably happened when I was playing cards online. I’m mystified though because it was right in my path from desk to everything else and I was under the impression that we had been out frequently enough through the evening. She was spayed on Wednesday though and she has been peeing a lot more, so …

Have you scheduled Bella yet? You want to get to it before she has her first heat to completely eliminate (or so they say) the risk of breast cancer.

Celibabe had been booked for both Face the Nation and Fox News Sunday — and canceled both this morning for a “campaign event”. Might be just a coincidence, but the only difference between Friday and Saturday was the witchcraft clip.

@karen marie: My female dog was incontinent for about two months after being spayed. Apparently it’s sometimes a side effect, but it’s worth it so that they don’t become Bristol Palin pups…

@SanFranLefty: Wow, that’s good to know. When I was writing up a little post about it for Lucy’s blog, I did some reading on the technical aspects of the procedure and I remember something about something being cut that is near something to do with the pee department.

Speaking of which — I think we are about to have a poop here.

@karen marie:
24 hours later, i’m logged into stinque first this morning, not last as usual, so i can linger. i specifically wanted to ask you about spaying!
because of our traveling schedule, she won’t be spayed til late october and i’m hoping it’s before her first heat.
i also use the crate during the day when she’s “on crack” to settle her down…works like a charm. bella finally threw up the culprit…bougainvillea leaves. what about teething? her poor little gums are bleeding where the teeth are breaking skin. i’m wetting and twisting up washcloths, then freezing them…makes great teething relief.
it’s nice to compare notes with with you…our baby girls being almost the exact same age…
