Oops. Missed a day. I was actually, er, jobhunting this time. Oh, and it was 2 for 1 movies at my video store so Thursdays are pretty much a write-off for me as it is. Can't think of anything good to write about either, even this morning. I've got writer's block and I'm not even a real writer!!! What does that say about my future...bleak, dark, blank...Oh well, at least I have the next 3 discs of My Name is Earl. I love that show!!! Kind of makes me want to have cable sometimes.
As for today, today is a busy busy day. I need to find parrot wear (a parrot friend wants to see Alice in Wonderland. The original plan was to disguise him as a bunny to get him into the theater). The only parrot wear I've found so far are capes that make them look like different birds. That's how birds cross-dress, I guess. Pretend they're a peacock when they're really a budgie. Great idea and very liberating for birds everywhere, but not quite what I was looking for. I need a serious bunny disguise.
In further regards to an earlier post/boring rant (oh, here it comes, another boring rant...kill me), check out the magazine Rosebuds if you want to know where the government buy-out for the car companies went to. Rosebuds is actually an ultra-lux growers lifestyle magazine and can be picked up for free at Shell Shock in Alberta and likely hydroponic stores in Ontario. My roommate and I have every edition to date in our washroom if you can't find one yourself. This magazine signifies the future of legalizing marijuana, and is evidence that major corporations have already invested in that market. Whether you like it or not, your taxpaying dollars are subsidizing the new corporate weed industry. Rosebud magazine is shiny proof of that. My Ontario friends might not understand the significance, it really is more of a western "alternative" lifestyle, but what you should understand is that throwing smokers and growers in jail and maintaining a circuit of organized crime to sell unregulated "drugs" is a political game that is frankly getting pretty old and costly. However, what is a real shame is the people who are going to have control of the growing and selling of marijuana in the near future. They will be your typical major corporation not caring about anything but their profit margin. So, if you smoke, smoke away while you can still get the good stuff. Once the big guys get in there, it will be an exact repeat of what happened to tobacco.
You know what the real kicker is, these car companies still don't get it. Like any other magazine subsidized by male-dominated corporations, it's got full page pull-outs of girls and cars. The day I see Antonio Banderas or Henrique Iglesias naked in a full page pull-out car advertisement is the day I know women have finally made it and is the day I buy a brand new car. And not a hybrid, either. I'm in Alberta now, I want a big, shiny, monster truck and I want car companies to try and sell it to me. In fact, I am a completely unpractical woman and would like to be treated as the non-floor washing, non-vacuuming, non-cooking, non-baby factory woman I am. If that means ME buying a hot dog stand to pay for MY dealership and someone finally standing up to giant arses like DW, so be it. GAME ON.
