Yes, I know it’s Andy Samberg. But I love both Andy AND Rahm Emanuel. Nom nom nom.
I heart Rahmy.

I almost forgot what today was. I kept saying…February 5th. February 5th.
8 years does not seem so long ago.
Listen, I like chicken crescents as much as the next cat (chicken, cheese, onion stuffed inside Pillsbury crescents, it’s amazing). And I never thought I’d be someone who would actively promote NOT EATING MEAT. Break out the Doc Martens and buy me a Home Depot gift card, we have a newborn vegan lesbian on our hands. Or something.
If you have even a sliver of a heart, how can you not be a vegetarian? I’ve always had issues with meat. I think there’s all kinds of shit in it that causes all kinds of other shit (hello, 8-year-old girls getting their periods and uhh, autism, have we met?). Not to mention dairy products, but cheese is so delicious. I’ll come back to that one another time.
Can you please watch? Don’t even try to make a case for eating meat. Stop lying to yourself. There are plenty of other sources of protein that are just as tasty (nom nom nom, peanut butter!)
You know that phrase, “You are what you eat”??? Well, you’re diseased and tortured. Enjoy your KFC.
And I know you all know I’m reading JSF’s Eating Animals
Yes, of course it’s amazing, because of course he’s a genius. And OF COURSE it all makes sense.

Ok, here is the first low-quality super-secret pic of Sir Slacksalot. Doing what she does best: slacking. Looking at houses actually, and speaking on her headset to her boyfriend in Spanish. I don’t think she knows exactly how much Spanish I comprehend. To her own detriment.
I know, I know, next time I’ll go for the close-up on the face but I have to be at least a little careful. And figuring out how to paste a picture into a post (don’t want to save to my work comp, for obvious reasons) was such a pain. I’m surprised she didn’t see me tooling around with A PICTURE OF HER for ten minutes or so. Well…not THAT surprised.
Who Says?
So how I feel in my life right now.
I used to feel like this:
I could not think of better definitions of my name, thanks UrbanDictionary.com!
Christa: v. undressing with the mind. “I just Christa’ed that girl up and down.”
Pull a Christa: v. To “pull a Christa” is to do something stupid but still look great while doing it. “I fell down the stairs and bounced all the way down. Love it when I pull a Christa.”
Christa: n. A bitch who hides behind Jesus and a smile, not to mention kickass thighs, mmm. “You stupid Christa, get outta my house if you’re not gonna put out!”
Driving to “work” this morning. I put quotes around it because well. Yknow.
Green tankish truck with RCS on the side – obviously sewage. Their slogan?
“We’re #1!…in the #2 business!”
Nasty. I admire their courage though. Watching VH1 Storytellers last night, and John Mayer played his first single off his new album, Who Says? You know it, right? The first line, “Who says I can’t get stoned? Turn off the lights and the telephone. Me in my house alone, who says I can’t get stoned?”
He was talking about how it’s a song he used to play around with post-coital (nice) and then once he played it and somebody said, “yeah you really need to play that.” And he replied, “I’m worried about the ’stoned’ part!”
I’m glad he said his favorite line in the song was “It’s been a long time since 22.” – because that’s MY favorite line. Listen, please, if you haven’t already. It’s from his new album Battle Studies. Which I love.
Yay, I figured out how to upgrade my WordPress without erasing EVERYTHING. Thank God. Shocking that I tried again, ain’t it? Not without backing up allllll my data first. Oy.
Fuck you, wordpress updates.
Jan 31
I’m never updating WP plugins again. I thought it wiped out my entire blog. But no, just the past month (thank you, backups!)
That’s the last time I try to snazz up my blog. Boooooo
