Nitrous Oxide rules!

So, yeah. Recovering from a root canal – it wasn’t bad at all and the nitrous was teh awesome! I was flying around all while staying in the chair. I attempted some coherent thought and then decided to forget that entirely and just float on. And so I did. Afterwards, treated myself to a chocolate milkshake which was yummeh.

I have had a most productive week – spending most of my days learning how to blog in a more professional way. Not that you’ll see any of it here, of course. This will still be the ranty mess you’ve known and loved. I’d never give you less because you know I love you all (3).

Okay, now – go immediately to this site (called Date Wrecks) and spend some time reading through the bad personal ads they feature. I was howling at work (on the DL of course) at some of these. Prepare to lose a bunch of time, though. It’s a sinkhole of massive proportions.

That’s your tip of the week and yes, you can thank me later.

Blah blah blah

Freely admitted

June 2, 2010 Written by Lisa

I, Lisa M. Snarkypants, of somewhat sound mind and a bit too much body, do hereby swear to tell the truth, the whole(ish) truth and nothing but the troof, so help me God.

I freely admit the following with the understanding that all this can and will be used against me in a court of law:

1. I spent 65% of my morning at work reading all the True Blood forums at Television without Pity. Even though each episode thread was more than 25 pages long, I slogged through most of them and realized that the bulk of the posts were all about how “hawt” Erik the Vampire is and what a moron Sookie is. But hey, it killed some time.

2. I spent 30% surfing websites for information on spiritual coaching so I could see what kinds of things people are offering out there. Much of it seems to be a lot of words trying to sell you stuff. I’m not fond of that. And clearly, the IN-THING is to write articles that are really devoid of information but give you fluff-filled lists. It’s crap, I tell you. (Much like my little lists here!)

3. I spent 5% doing what little work there was for me to do.

4. I spent most of the afternoon writing a new post for Practically Intuitive and it’s almost finished. What can I say? I got in a flow. Now, must edit said flow. DONE!

So, as you can see, I freely admit that I did just about no work today. Lots of people are out of the office or just coming and going at will. My ass gets paid to sit in that chair and look like I care so that’s what I do. YEY for the Internets!

Also freely admitted:

** I read all the Sarah Palin gossip I can get my hot little hands on. She’s a trainwreck of such massive proportions and I wallow in every single moment of it. I especially like The Immoral Minority because the proprietor keeps it current and has lots of juicy details. I am a shallow person but I cannot wait until Granny Grifter crashes and burns. The fact that she is where she is says more than I wish to hear about our culture and none of it positive.

** I prefer sleeping alone in my king sized bed. I’ve mentioned before that Duty snores like a maniac so he gets to sleep in the other room in the twin bed. Me? Since I’m the Queen, I sleep in the big bed in the big room. I have always slept alone even when I lived with other boyfriends. It’s what I’m used to and I will never be one of those people who cannot sleep without my partner there. (I know. I should live in a monastery, right?)

What else can I freely admit? Few things in my closet fit me. So, there’s that.

That’s all I’m admitting today. In fact, pretend I didn’t write any of this. I plead the fifth. Where’s my lawyer?

Blah blah blah

Stuff from around the interwebs

January 24, 2010 Written by Lisa

In any given day, I peruse a bizillion websites. Really. One bizillion. And I’d like to share some of that with you from time to time. Herewith is the first in a series of “What I found on teh Internets” today:

1. From Mashable – What the Web of tomorrow will look like – I thought this was really interesting given the amazing growth of the Ipod and the iPhone. Gosh, I remember the days of online bulletin boards and dialing up with a modem and here we are in 2010 carrying around a little computer in our pockets. Pretty amazing stuff. (BTW, Mashable is a GREAT site for all things web related. I follow them on Twitter too.)

2. Over on LifeHacker you can learn about the Top 10 Tools for better reading – online and off. I have not yet succumbed to the Kindle revolution. I really love carrying books around and diving into them and I spend enough time staring at a screen as it is, so I’m fine not doing that (yet). Some good suggestions in this article though. I signed up for Wowbrery – looks kind of cool!

3. Soul Pancake (an interesting site in general) asked you to tweet the premise of a classic book or movie in the usual 140 character format. Like this one: Cinderella: hourly wage life sucks until you find great shoes and magic vegetables. hope the prince really is charming

4. Who remembers Cracked magazine from their younger days? Well, now it’s online and it’s a pretty funny site. Check out this post featuring Six Ridiculous Sex Myths (that are actually true) – then email me a picture of your hands. heh

5. Need some new Twitter blood? Check out Listorious – a site that aggregates some good Twitter feeds to follow. There’s lists on politics, cinema, books – you name it, there’s a list for it (more or less). Kinda fun if you are looking to follow more than what your friends are eating for lunch and that sort of thing. (Not that *I* ever twitter anything like that, mind.)

I’m bored

January 19, 2010 Written by Lisa

But managing to amuse myself somehow. I can get around a bit better now and Gal, NOTHING will stop me from seeing Hal! hehe I’m hoping for a picture and one that is 100x better than the one of me with my beloved sekrit boyfriend. We’ll see.

In the meantime, this made me laugh:

The Queen’s Meme – Duchovny Style

The Queen’s Meme – Duchovny Style

1. When is the last time someone did something EXtra-special for you?
One of the nice people for whom I did a reading from my Thanksgiving offer posted this lovely comment in the thread:
I want to chime in and add my great appreciation for you and for your true gift. Thank you for being of service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others, and any reading this. That made my heart happy.

2. Name one EXciting thing that happens in your life daily. It’s pretty amazing that I get paid to do such an easy (if at times frustrating) job.

3. Tell us the good, the bad and the uglies of your online EXperiences.
The Good: I can look up stuff about anything that floats into my head. I love being able to do that.
The Bad: Picking up people’s energies from their written word. Sometimes I feel like I’ve been barfed on.
The Ugly: I’m with Gal on her People of Walmart comment. Have these people no friends?

4. What makes an ordinary day EXtraordinary and EXceptional?
Cookies!! They are the best things ever! (And possibly some pumpkin coffee too)

5. Name one embarrassing incident you had to EXplain to your mother when you were a child. I had to try to explain to my mom how my friend Lisa came back from a walk with her boyfriend Steve with her shirt buttoned up the wrong way. (We were 15, it was a party and Lisa was gone for a L O N G time. Yeah, mom wasn’t happy when she finally returned … disheveled. I mostly stayed out of it.)

6. If you could FedEX yourself anywhere in the world, where would you go?
To a beach somewhere with adult beverages, men of my choosing and mashed potatoes. Alcohol, men (of my choosing – that means you, David Cook and you too Eddie Izzard) and comfort food. That’s me in a nutshell (or a nuthouse, more likely).

7. Who would you like to EXray and why?
The aforementioned David Cook so that I can definitively answer the question as to whether size 13 shoes equate to … uh, equally sized boy parts. (Well, you asked!)
