So Dom's graduation shindig was a little while ago.
It's so bizarre, it seems like I was just packing a snack for her kindergarten class and now she's only a few months away from her 18th birthday.
She made her own dress:






Please note the vegan Macbeth Hunter Bergan high tops...

Wow. Time flies. 

Not much to say, just wanted to post.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QUEEN VICTORIA!!
ummm....even though you're dead...

Thanks so much for the shaved noggin compliments, friends!
I'm enjoying the baldness, though every once in a while I miss having locks to style. It's growing quickly, though. I think that by next month, I'll be using a comb!
My back is in spasm and I'm in enough pain that I had to cancel the weekly Dungeons and Dragons playtime.
If I put my head down I feel pain all the way down to my butt.
ARGH.

Hello all!
It's been forever since I've posted and I only have a couple of minutes before my lunch break so I'll get on with my news.
I shaved my head for cancer!! I managed to raise almost $1800.00

My coworkers and Eric are in the background cheering me on.

And a lolcat pic that Dom made

Sweet wrinkly forehead!!! Botox, anyone!?!?

So my teeny head doesn't look too bad, eh? It's a little chilly, though. Of course I live in a city that gets serious snow at the end of April.
Tomorrow is the Big Comic and Entertainment Expo is this weekend and we are stoked!
I'll post some pics and news about what's going on in TrollopVille soon.

 Hello Strangers!
Haven't been online for anything but work as of late.
Can't really think right now so I'll just post some pictures:

Me in a mushroom (heh heh!) in Efteling - the amazing amusement park in Holland (double heh heh) that Walt disney based his parks on.
Efteling kicks Disneyland's ass in every single way.

 Teleportation will be beaming you around soon...

More people are choosing to be buried with their cellphones when they die. And we think the Ancient Egyptians had a weird view of what goes on in The Afterlife!

HULK VS. THOR and HULK VS. WOLVERINE!!!
ohimigawd. so freaking awesome....



The animation doesn't look so great. Actually, it's probably not going to be very good but who cares?? It's the Hulk, man! it doesn't matter how Hulk manifests Himself, He is The Almighty. Eric got 'em on dvd from a coworker who knows about my love of Hulk so I'm totally gonnna watch 'em tomorrow night.

More news:
Cloning your pet has become less expensive to do. Now it won't matter how old your pet is, you can have a plethora of Spots for eternity.

Happy cows produce more milk, especially if you name them. Blissful bovines with make your bones strong!

And some not-so-happy Cows that rock out like crazy.
WARNING, THIS SONG CONTAINS THE F-WORD!!! Several times.





Oh, and my ex-husband decided to call me after 3 years and give me some Child Support.
Weird, eh?
See you tomorrow night mamasita_muerte !!

 Wow. 3 weeks since I posted last, 2 weeks and 4 murders in my city since New Year's Day.
Xmas was fun, we had our dear friend Donald (brilliant artist from New York) and Rusty (my fair priced comics dealer) over for dinner and had a nice relaxing time. 
It was especially nice 'cause this was the first Christmassacre that I got to have my girls with me all day. The ex-husband always had them in the afternoons and when he took off for parts unknown, the evil ex-inlaws took me to court so the kidlets were forced to spend the night with them.
I got a glow in the dark Hulk shirt, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, and tickets to see David Byrne when he comes to town next month! 
World War Z Trailer:


Work is crazy evil right now. I've been told January is the worst time of year at the University but Oh My Dawg it sucks. I'd rather face Dr. Doom and the Wendigo sans Hulk than go back to the office tomorrow. Oh well. Rent to pay....
I hope everyone had a great Christ Mess and a Harpy New Year!
Will post some pics and news when I'm not so toasted.

 Dom helped me make this for all the pals I have that I don't get to chat with often and and the livejournal friends I have never personally met:

Thanks for your good wishes and words of encouragement this year. Though I haven't actually seen a lot of you face to face, thank you for being so kind when I was down!
Here's to 2009 going a lot more smoothly than most of 2008 did!!!

 So I turned ...ugh.....36 on Thursday.
If I round up, I'm 40.
It wasn't all depressing, though.
When I got to work, there was a huge banner wishing me Happy Birthday, my keyboard was gift wrapped and my supervisor made me a black forest cake! 
When I got home, the girls had prezzies for me - Aurora made me a heating bag and Dom gave me the new Salman Rushdie book.
Eric had already given me a new bed, but he spoiled me with the 3 disc Hulk set (we spent all night watching the extras!!WHEEE!) and a Thrashin' Lassies shirt I can wear to cheer mamasita_muerte  on during the next Derby match. And he paid for me to get my hair done, I'm a brunette now.
It was a lovely birthday and I guess I can't complain about the age too much. I'm pretty happy with where I am in this world.

 Look what i can do with my rudimentary photoshop skills!




UGH. I hate Christmas.

he's much cuter under the mask!

and a super sassy action pic of mamasita_muerte</lj> :

 Good job, mamasita_muerte !! The Lassies were brilliant!

Mamasita and Criminal Intent



And a snippet of the Thrashin' Lassies vs. Cut Throat Car Hops portion of the Christmas Chaos Roller Derby:


Congrats, girl!! You kicked sassy ass last night!
I'll post more pics later.

 Good luck, Thrashin' Lassies!!
I'll be cheering you on in the suicide seats, mamasita_muerte!

Congrats, fearthainn !
Eric and I are going to GWAR tonight - I'm stoked!

 From the delightfully offensive Wonder Showzen:
The job is going well. It's really intense and crazy busy but I'm enjoying it. There's a weird, almost Socialist vibe that makes me feel that even if I don't get everything done that I was s'posed to do, as long as I work hard and do what I can, it's all good. I guess that's what comes from being a full time employee of a union job in a university...
Am I silly for feeling like even though I'm still pushing paper to pay the rent, this job is a little more noble than my last? 
Eric bought me the new Hulk on dvd - the commentary with Louis Leterrier and Tim Roth is awesome!!
Now I can watch all the battle scenes in slow motion - WOOT!
Oh...My...Dog
Hulk kicks ass.

Happy Spooky Day, Everyone!!

Congrats to the Thrashin' Lassies (and mamasita_muerte ) for their smashing victory in game one of season two with the Calgary Roller Derby Association!!



Mamasita, I saw you guys kick ass - we didn't get there in time to get our sweet seats behind the jammers! We'll be there every match cheering you awesome ladies on!!!
PS Where are the burlesque dancers at half time!?!?!?

So, the new job is fab so far. I'm going to be pretty busy as it turns out I'm actually replacing two people. I'm just so happy to have a good gig in such a setting. It's a union job, so once I finish my six months probation, I have a lot of security. I'm also going to be able to take four free courses a year, so I can take some night courses for personal pleasurable brain exercise!
And it looks like I don't work for any psycho manic chicks or alcoholics - BONUS!
Okay, here's some news:

Ernie Chambers' lawsuit against God has been thrown out of court. Sniff. Thanks for trying, Ernie.

The world's first double arm transplant recipient is doing well.



Congrats, Karl Merk!

A miniature horse with a false eye!

The girls and I are carving pumpkins now - will post pics of the Gourdgeous offerings later.

I GOT THE JOB I WANTED!!!
It's an Admin position at the University. A good salary, great benefits and pension plan and three weeks holiday PLUS the week between Xmas and New year's - WOOT!



to celebrate I'm posting the funniest political satire I've seen in a while. It's not anything I can describe, just feast your eyes:



Poor Hillary!

These videos are from the show Eric and I saw on our last trip to Europe!

Nagorny Karabach:



And that lovely tune Sabrina:



Many thanks to 81ANCA for posting these!!
