yoko can't spell

So, there are things about tumblr I love and things I don’t. It was a very easy way to start blogging and I really like that my “followers’” new posts show up on my dashboard. However, tumblr doesn’t allow comments. This really bugs me. Alot. So, I’ve started a new blogger blog. Same Yoko, new address! Please come visit, change your bookmarks and leave me a comment!

p.s. I’ll keep logging onto tumblr and may even post things to my followers here from time to time. There is a link back on the new blog.

Did you really need the 17th kid?

I’m not sure what I find more disgusting, that you would willingly bring 17 children into a world where there are millions of already unwanted babies or that you are so insistent that every last one of your drains on society have a name that starts with the letter J, that you name one of them Jinger.

Excuse me while I go take my birth control pill.

Saturday we said goodbye to an old friend, C’s long hair is no more. I’ve posted before about his desire to loose the flowing locks and this weekend, we went through with it. Locks of Love will be pleased.

C is mighty handsome so he looks good no matter what is on his head, I was ready for the long hair to go, too, but what a shock to see your husband with such a dramatically short hair cut. Wow.

I feel like I’m having an affair…

The ladies at Hair Cuttery used to tell him that he had “white girl hair”.

“My head feels so much lighter!” No turning back now.

After I cut off the ponytail we realized that the clippers were broken. Queue a trip to the ghetto 5th Street CVS. C ran in for clippers and I went to the Food Dog next door for BLT fixings. While I was standing in line behind the welfare mothers and watching the cashier struggle to add up 61 cents in change C saw a guy flip his shit in the Family Dollar.

Apparently the guy was mad b/c the Family Dollar’s price for motor oil had gone up over the last week and Mexicans were taking all the jobs. Oh, and when the cops showed up, he started screaming that he wanted his Grandma.

Giving C boy band hair…

The less popular “reverse mohawk”.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Tyler Durden.

Bagged, tagged and ready to make into a wig.

Pennywise

Ummm, I just realized that Tim Curry played “Pennywise” in the movie version of IT. Dur. I was going to post a picture to go with this revelation but so many people are scared of clowns (thanks Stephen King) that I’ll spare you the graphic. Instead, here is a link to the “Top Ten Scariest Things to Ruin a Childhood”. I was actually spared most of these frights by my parents who were absolute sticklers for the MPA’s rating system, my list would be titled “Top Ten Scariest Things to Ruin the Year After You Turned 17”. I wasn’t going to get to see that PG-13 movie until I was 13, damnit, but anything I could find at the library was fair game. Hence my fear of clowns, Prom, dead pets, antique stores and resort hotels.

The AC in my office has always been hinky but this morning it is totally wack (heehee “hinky” and “wack” in one sentance…). We’ve had construction going on in the office next door and yesterday the thermostat was acting a little crazy, but this morning we have taken the AC to new heights. I was the first person in today and I swear to god there was frost on my computer monitor. Ok, that’s an exaggeration but the penguins totally scattered when I unlocked the door. Really. Anyway, I can’t get the damn thing to turn off. Can’t get my teeth to stop chattering either. And guess who is in charge of resolving these types of problems? That’s right, Yoko is.

Love from my iceberg,

XXOO

For C, who is secretly hoping it will rain.
