I hate popular music

It is so rare these days for me to hear anything I actually like on the radio. In my opinion, it’s all mostly shite. I’ve had the same three bands (Chevelle, Evanescence, Tool) on repeat on my iPod for I don’t know how long. I added Daughtry about three or four months ago and have recently [...]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention

My mom just sent me an email about this appalling Ann Coulter interview. Coulter is such a hypocritical bitch. I hate conservatives; I really, truly do. I’m not saying liberals don’t get on their high horse at some point but it seems that the conservative (mostly) Christian right in America are constantly perched atop their [...]

I think it’s getting better/easier

Today hasn’t been too bad. It’s been a good test for me as I worked from home this morning and then had this afternoon off. This would have been a day when I probably could have smoked about 20 cigarettes in just the past eight hours, let alone 24. Sure there were several times this [...]

I wish I was in Dixie…

So I could throw a piece of fruit (preferably a rotten tomato) at George W. Bush. Apparently he’ll be visiting my home area of Northwest Arkansas on Monday. I love the comment from someone calling themselves ‘lil-ol-me’ at the bottom of this article: Aren’t we just the luckiest folks alive to get to see a [...]

It just doesn’t work

So here’s an interesting tidbit: there’s a Boston Celtics v Minnesota Timberwolves NBA basketball game going on live in London tonight at the O2 arena in Greenwich. Slightly strange, yes, but they’re also bringing over the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants to play an NFL football game at Wembley on the 28th of this [...]

Day 3 kind of sucks

Day 2 kind of sucked a bit too but not until about 6.00 last night. That’s when I started to really have a hard time. That’s my normal relaxation time. I sit in front of the telly smoking several cigarettes waiting for Tim to come home. Even with a lozenge in my mouth I was [...]

Day 2 begins

I didn’t really have much time to write yesterday-day one of my quitting smoking-because I found lots to keep me occupied. I meticulously cleaned our bedroom and bathroom. I would have meticulously cleaned our living room and kitchen but, unfortunately, that’s where my husband was working so I couldn’t really manoeuvre around him as easily [...]

I’m going to do it!

For those who don’t know me, I’m a smoker, a heavy one at times. I’ve finally decided to give up. I start tomorrow. I’ve got lozenges and what I’m pretty sure is willpower. I’m actually somewhat excited about it. So in order to help me I’ve decided to detour this blog for a bit and [...]

You know the US army is getting desperate…

When this is an option for armed warfare The U.S. Air Force won the Ig Nobel Peace Prize this year for its proposal to develop a “gay bomb” — a chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers want to make love with each other, not war with the enemy.

I love Starbucks too

There is such a feeling of hatred for Starbucks anymore. Some say it is ruining local coffee shops. Others say they hate seeing the same brands everywhere on the high street. While both are valid arguments, one cannot argue with the fact that they make a damn good cup of coffee. I excitedly texted my [...]
