30 Days of Truth: Day 18

So here’s the thing, I couldn’t give a crap about gay marriage. The same goes for polygamy, swingers, open marriages and any other unconventional adult relationship.  I think as long as everyone involved are consenting adults, leave them the hell alone.  It’s not our business what goes on in other people’s bedrooms and none of us should be able to …

30 Days of Truth: Day 17

The book that has changed my views on something recently is a book by Zoe Harcombe called Stop Counting Calories & Start Losing Weight. After a year on Weight Watchers I was four months into the most rotten plateau I’ve ever experienced.  I was also disappointed in the lack of improvement in my health.  So my in laws suggested I …

Oh this is going to be a long list.  There are a lot of things and people I could most definitely live without!! I could live without the rainy, dreary winter weather here in the Netherlands. Sammi and Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I will admit to watching it when I’ve run out of other shows, and I cannot stand these …

30 Days of Truth: Day 15

Ok first let me get the usual suspects aside.  My husband, my friends, my family… goes without saying. There’s something I have tried to live without that didn’t go very well, I was miserable. When I first left home when I was 21, back in 1996, I lasted approximately three weeks without any pets. It was horrible!  I wasn’t allowed …

30 Days of Truth: Day 14

I have sweet F-All to write for this one.  Maybe I don’t have heroes? I don’t know, but I can’t think of any that have let me down.  Except maybe P!NK for not replying to my letter! So, I’ll leave you with this cute photo I took of a wooden butterfly for my 365 photo for the day. I know, …

30 days of Truth: Day 13

Ok or originally this said “Write a letter”, I can’t be arsed to do that.  If I write about some famous artist here, they will never read it, and if they did I’d probably drop dead and you’d never hear from me again.  So I’m just going to answer the question. The artist who has gotten me through some tough …

Rotterdam Film Festival: Skarsgard In The Flesh!

Oh, sorry no… not that one.  It was this one!  Here’s what happened. The other day my friend Genevieve asked if I wanted to get together in town today and maybe see a movie.  When we realized that all the theaters in town aren’t showing regular films because of the Rotterdam International Film Festival, she asked if I wanted to …

30 Days of Truth: Day 12

There is one thing I never get complimented on and I have to be honest about this, it really hurts!  Not only have they not complimented me on it but they’ve gone so far as to insult me about it!  Cruel, insensitive bastards! Nobody has ever complimented me on my singing, and lemme tell ya, I can croon along with …

Do You Lie Clittojayl?

Today while I was getting my nails done Ellen showed me this video.  I laughed my ass off as I was watching it and asked her to send me the url so I could share it on my blog. I think she asked me if I liked glitter gel about 10 times, causing us both to go into convulsions laughing. …

My Starry Night Nails

Continuing on with my attempt to squash my Fat and Feminine issues, I had my second appointment with Ellen this afternoon.  This was the result, what we ended up calling my Starry Night nails because it ended up looking like a really clear night where it’s pitch black but you can see all the stars. Awesome, aren’t they? It took …
