    Maybe National NOG month: Random Tuesday Thoughts

    randomtuesday

    Oh hey! It's Tuesday! That kinda sneaks up on you, huh?

    Anyway, you know what Tuesday means around here - time to get random! Spew some lyrical bullshit, let your mind out to roam, or whatever, then grab the button and call it a post. Easy peasy - especially for those of you struggling with the last few NaBloPoMo posts!

    Shall we begin?

    My parents finally (hallelujah!) got highspeed internet, which means that my Mom can now read this blog regularly. Because apparently it's too graphic-intense for dial-up? I think binary is probably too graphic intense for dial-up these days, but anyway.

    Everybody wave to Mom and hide the dildos, okay?

    (Man, it's just like high school all over again.)


    I'm having a rum and eggnog. Because I'm fucking festive, y'all. Nothing says Happy Holidays like a bloated eggnog muffin top, y'know?

    (It's not even the 'lite' stuff, because that isn't available yet. Apparently it's too early in the season for people to be feeling nog remorse.)

    I think I've just created a new activity - the Nog n' Blog. Want to partake? It gets way more fun if you say it out loud a few times.

    (Also, if you've had a few nogs.)


    Nog nog nog nog nog. Nog nog.

    Have you heard about this woman who had her long-term disability benefits revoked, because she was diagnosed with depression but posted photos on Facebook of herself (gasp!) smiling and going on vacation? I mean, how dare she? The NERVE. Everybody knows people with depression wear nothing but black, attend random funerals and listen to The Cure all day. I'm pretty sure psychiatrists have published studies with that exact medical terminology!


    Shoes, made out of bread. Most entertaining about this is the comments. Especially the indignation of people pointing out that H.R. Giger did it already in the 70s. Um, I love me some Giger, but someone ripping off a crappy idea means you should probably pity them, not condemn them.

    The novel thing? Yeah, not happening. I really did get pretty sick last week and I've been basically sleeping it off ever since. Maybe I'll do DecNoWriMo.

    Y'know, because nothing else really happens in December.


    Anyway, you got some random smack to talk? Grab the fugly button and link up!

    Be sure to have some egg nog for me!

    You must have a better relationship with your mother than I have with mine, or else yours isn't as uptight as mine, cuz my mom would have a stroke if she read my blog. I keep mine hidden from her.

    I can't believe that poor woman lost her disability for that. That's ridiculous!

    Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

    Nog N Blog. I might totally have to try that. Sounds fun.

    I gave up on NaNoWriMo, too. Only I don't have the excuse of being sick. I just suck at life. Oh well. I am considering doing my own WriMo once hubby buys me a laptop. Maybe if I can actually get out of the house to write I will accomplish something.

    I'll be back to link up later. It's 2am here on the rock in the middle of the Pacific. I need to let me brain wake up a little bit more before I try to blog!

    I gave up on NaNoWriMo too.. i had a lot going on and I was really not having time for that this month... maybe next one:P
    Oh and I've heard about the "depressed happy woman" in the news... now for sure there's many people deleting their pictures on their accounts:P
    Anyway.. wanna hear how i burned my house on Sunday or regular randomness?? I'm all in:)

    Happy Tuesday!

    Never been a Nog fan so at least not consuming those calories. I like pretty much everything else so it all balances out.

    Bread shoes has to be the the most lame-ass idea I've heard so far today.

    Really, how dare someone smile for a picture. Clearly she was cured and no longer depressed.

    Happy RTT.

    Waving to the Mom with the high speed.
    I can't believe about the insurance. Sad !!! but why weren't her pics locked up BTW "friend's only" check your settings people!

    Is it ever too early for egg nog?

    I actually did find the "reduced fat" kind at our grocery store, which surprisingly enough still has a shit-ton of calories and fat. I'm okay with that.

    So you're telling me depressed people don't dress in black and listen to The Cure all day? How about Morrissey?

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMrsbear

    I'd be all over the nog and blog thing. I'm adding eggnog to my last-minute list for today. ;)

    Nog and blog! I am laughing so hard I have tears.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKat

    I've always wanted to try egg nog, is it like a liquid tiramisu without the biscuits ?

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

    True confessions:
    I have never had egg nog.
    I've heard I'm not missing much though..

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSprite's Keeper

    I hope you are feeling better. :) I've hidden my dildo--Hi mom!

    I can't stand eggnog, but I'll join you with a little spiced wine. yummy!

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterWeb-Betty

    Yay! I love festive, but not too into egg nog, is their another festive drink that sounds good?

    That poor woman, she was probably finally starting to do the things her therapist suggested.

    I don't miss dial up never will, its like albums, my kids "Mom, what's dial up?"

    Have a great Tuesday! U Rock as always.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnjanette

    Yeah, I am not doing NaMoBlowMePoPoWhatever. I just can't commit to anything right now that could threaten to send me over the edge cause I am *right there. You know?

    and I HATE eggnog, so I can't nog and blog, but as always I will be wine and whining it baby. SMOOCHES!

    I have to agree with Petra, I hate egg nog. I am going to have to pass on nogging and blogging. Can I substitute tequila?

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnne

    I'm going to the store this week, getting some eggnog and rum, just so I can nog and blog.

    nog nog nog nog

    as much fun to write as it was to read.

    Yikes. My biggest fear is that my mother-in-law figures out how to read my blog!

    Maybe you should do a Nog-n-Blog Carnival thingy. Could prove very interesting. And possibly embarrassing.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered Commentergretchen

    Nog Season - my favorite!

    I can't believe how many people Tuesday did not sneak up on this week. I was getting prepared yesterday so I could get over here early and I'm the 27th????? Dude, I got to start getting to work earlier so I can start the blog slacking earlier so I'm not #27.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPollyanna

    Glad you are feeling good enough to hit the nog this week. Nog and blog sounds great in so many ways. Happy Thanksgiving.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterOtter Thomas

    Nice my parents just got wireless high speed connection. Setting up was a challenge. But apparently it still works.

    Ooops is that a dildo I see? Sorry.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDCUrbanDad

    nog nog nog nog nog nog nog. It's almost as much fun to type as it is to say!

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMiddle Aged Woman

    Oh, man. Do we have to clean it up now? Because your Mom might talk to my mom...

    And the nog? I'm all over that. I cracked it open over the weekend. It was a let down- all non-alcoholic, and such- but the spirit was there.

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMama Badger

    I would like to hereby vote far a daily Nog n' Blog. Aaawwwwwsomeness!!

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBig Mama Cass

    I'm not a fan of eggnog, but will bring my bottle of vodka (and another of rum) to the par-tay!

    I should gt my mom to read my blog as well...seems like a good idea...until I blog about her (cringeshuddergasp)...hmm...yeah - that is a stellar idea!

    November 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterWorking Mommy

    Egg nog is the best...must try the nog n blog... :)

    (It's my first visit, so I wanted to just say a quick "hello!")
