WHeeeeeeeeeeee!

That's the sound of a high pitched gay squeal coming from my mouth!

Madonna is working hard on a variety of new projects, most notably her upcoming album with collaborators such as Pharrell, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.

PerezHilton.com has learned that Madonna really wants to release the record this November (with a tour in June of 2008). However that is not set in stone and remains to be seen.

If the new album doesn’t pan out for the fall then there’s also talks of releasing a Madonna 25th anniversary box set.

Hallelujah!!! There is a gay GOD!

Damn Global Warming

We have fleas. Well more specifically, Weber, Baxter, Slocombe, and Caliope have fleas. It is so bad that we had to hire an exterminator to get rid of them. They are all on flea medicine, we have tried sprays and powders to de-flea our humble abode. Nothing has worked. I blame it on global warming. Our lack of winter didn't kill the fleas. I researched it, on Wikipedia (which is 100% accurate, y'know). Anyway, apparently a climate needs at least 2 weeks (preferably longer) in a deep freeze to kill all the bugs and allergens. We had a lot of snow at the end of last winter, but we were'nt ever really cold for long spells. So now we are having all this trouble. The dogs are miserable, scabs all over, and poor Baxter has even drawn blood from scratching and biting so hard. Damn Al Gore!!!

Since I'm at it, I am blaming global warming on me not finding a job. How it that possible? Well if we weren't having such nice weather this summer,with no rain, and sunny days, I'd be more inclined to search harder. How's that for an excuse? Seriously though, I have had two decent interviews this week. Keep your fingers, toes, and nether regions crossed for me. One is in a call center. Not glamorous, but I can sit, and it seems like a good job. The other is in retail, naturally (the only thing I am qualified for apparently). I was apprehensive about working there, but have changed my mind. The GM is great, the company is VERY gay, even offering domestic partner insurance, and I love the products. It will be hard for me to stand all day and doing displays will be challenging physically, but I would like it there. We'll see.

OK, I've done enough Lothianizing (that's my new word for bitching). Due to popular demand, by popular demand I mean 3 people, I am doing some other specialized boyfriend lists. The 80's went so over well, I am working on a 70's and 90's lists. Stay tuned, they are coming soon to blog near you.

A retail master

It's looking more and more like I will be working retail again. I have no other choice. I haven't worked since February when my previous store closed, then I finished school, and had another ankle surgery, from which I am still not fully healed. The bills are starting to pile up, thus I need to work. I have applied, sent resumes, and called businesses to get some sort of marketing position (a non-commission one) with no luck. So it looks like a retail life again.

I don't hate retail. There are some aspects which I enjoy: displays, making sales goals, and helping customers. However, there are many things I loathe as well: the hours, the physical aspects (too many hours on my feet, which are in bad shape as you all know), the holiday season, and, well, customers.

My doc isn't going to be happy that I am going back to work in an industry that put me in this shape. For those of you who don't or haven't worked in retail, you won't understand how physically demanding it is. First off, most stores make you wear "dress" shoes which have little support. Combine that with being on your feet for at least 8 hours and that's how my ankle problems started. My arch collapsed following the 2004 Christmas season. After 15 years in the industry, my body couldn't take it any longer. My doc wants me to get a job where I can sit all day (who doesn't want one?). He may not even approve my release to return to work. But alas, If I want to keep my house, pay my bills, and keep my marriage healthy, I must do something.

I am most likely being offered a fulltime management position with a national specialty store. I have no other choice but to take it. My fear is that once I start working there, not only will my chances of having future ankle problems arise, but I will never be able to leave the industry which is the sole purpose for me pursuing a Master degree.

Sorry for the vent, but that's what blogs are for I guess (just ask Lothian). I'll keep you updated.

Big hair, mullets, and drunks... oh my

That about sums up the awesome Def Leppard concert at the soon to be de-funct Germain Amphitheater here in C-Bus. We saw plenty of westside girls with big poofy hair, or curly "Simply Red" do's. Yes, there was also many mullets to be had. Men with nasty hairy backs, pot bellys, wife beater shirts, and mullets, all with a cig hanging from there mouth. HOT, I know. I could barely keep my hands off them. Lothian was getting moist just being near all that masculinity. Then there was the falling down drunk who rolled down the hill taking out several innocent concertgoers. SWEET! With beer being $8 a pop, and all the hilljacks there drinking 5 or 6 each, the Germains should rethink closing the place down. I also fogot about the girl sitting in front of us who was wearing pink thong underwear. How do I know, because thats all you could see from her big ass. Oy Vey!!

Oh yeah, there was also a concert going on. Not much to say about Styx and REO Speedwagon. They were OK. No Mr Roboto. SUX!!!! Why else go see Styx.
Now the Defsters were awesome. All the hits were played from "Amimal" to "Armageddon it", "Rock of Ages" and my fav "Pour Some Sugar on Me". 80's hair band at it's best.

I am going to miss Germain (formerly Polaris) Amphitheater. I have seen everybody there over the past 13 years, Britney, Cher, Bette... all the gay classics. But my most treasured experience was getting to see my yummy boyfriend "Tim McGraw" front row, looking at his crotch, trying to lick his boots, and almost bitch slapping the woman next to me who held his hand during a song. CUNT. I just hope that artists don't bypass our little big town in the future.

R.I.P. Germain (Polaris) Amphitheater 1994-2007

A concert with 3 hags

Woohoo!!! Renee, Lothian, Heather, and I are going to see Def Leppard with Styx and REO. Sweet. There should be some BIG 80's hair (worn by Lothian and her fellow westsiders), some beer and fun tunes. I will post a review with some pics, if we are allowed a camera. It is an outdoor concert and it's going to be f-ing hot (94 degrees). I am going to be so hot, sticky, sweet. From my head to my feet!!!
