Archangel Michael In Progress

As soon as I complete this I will put it on my drawing blog.

This might possibly...possibly...be very poor French.

Danell's Emotional Rollercoaster

How's this for the ecstasy and agony of sports:  Danell Leyva went from giving a "Holy Kleenex, Batman, I Think I Just Came" incredible performance on the high bar for the team competition from Tokyo on one evening, to (I think) hitting his chin on the bar during a fall off the high bar on the following evening.

Clip of Danell owning the high bar:


I saw the end of the team competition but the Americans had finished already.  However, Danell's performance on the high bar was so spectacular that they replayed it at the end.  I was like, "Are you kidding me?"  It was really something.  I fortunately did not see the fall last night and I say fortunately because I'm sure I would've been bawling.  I'm thinking Universal Sports will replay this competition this weekend so I might still get to see it.

Performing or falling, Danell always makes it big and memorable!  Here they interview him after the competition and he's back in good spirits after I'm sure he released a lot of anger on something, somewhere.  Such a beauty his is.

Great Moments In Eye Makeup

This is from an advert for some new TV show.  Of course I was attracted to the absolute overdone-ness of it all.  I'm sure I was looking like this on some post-bar weekend days, eyes still heavily made up from the night before, bawling at the emotional climax of "The Hottie and the Nottie."

Eli Is Packing In Front And Back

UGH!! You could not ask for a more horribly timed interception.  Sunday's game involved the Giants making another rally to come from behind.  Under two minutes left and they had the win within their grasp, but argh...just slipped away...however, the game did produce two nice pictures of Eli.  4-1 would be nice but 3-2 with a side of Eli Manning's package is acceptable.

New Sign Spotted Along Santa Monica Blvd Stroll!

I like this picture you sent, Frankie.  Of course my first thought was, "No vending?  This must be directed at the dear little hustlers."  Doesn't everything lead me back to thoughts of hustlers and their fantastically scandalous lives?

I'm not sure where you spotted this but I think they should be posted up and down Santa Monica Blvd just to add an extra element of lawbreaking to picking up hookers.  Do men still prostitute themselves along Santa Monica?  I should go walking down there one Saturday to check it out.  Actually no, that would involve being in the sun and being around humans, two things that give me a headache. 

Fringe Moults Again

Every season, Fringe comes back as something slightly different than it was the previous season.  I like this.  The tone is much more morose (not overly, but slightly) this season.  Poor Walter doesn't have his spark without Peter to give him joy in his life.  He is like a depressive that is functioning but who has that underlying feeling of despair that leads one to irrational acts like the horrific one he attempted last night.  You can justify any outlandish or desperate act if you don't really care about anything.

Olivia and Faux-livia/Bolivia are a highlight.  Olivia doesn't even try to hide her disdain for Faux-livia, her perfect antagonist.  I don't think we've seen this side of Olivia before.  Of course we've seen her irritated but such outright dislike?  New facet!  I think Faux-livia gets a total kick out of getting under Olivia's skin.

Didn't Alterna-Broyles get killed?  I suppose during all these corrections to the timeline his death somehow didn't occur...Faux-livia mentioned having a conversation with him in the 9/30 episode.


We like Lashes McGorgeous Eyes, aka Agent Lincoln Lee, in the Walter universe more than the Walternate universe.  He almost represents the home viewer taking in all of this with a bit of wonder and disbelief.  Plus with Agent Charlie Francis dead/MIA, he is very nice eye candy.

Have I mentioned I love the zeppelins?  I love the zeppelins.

Feverish Dreams Of Paul Ryan Lead To Rambling Nonsense

Rep. Paul Ryan paced slowly back and forth in his office.  He was having trouble keeping his mind on his work as he felt that familiar but inconvenient feeling coming over him.  It started as a warm tingling in his chest that then began to spread all over his body; his overwhelming love of country couldn't be suppressed.  He began to unbutton his blue twill shirt, exposing his black chest hairs peeking out of the neck of his white undershirt.  His breath quickened as he slid his hands lightly down the soft cotton fabric.  He glanced at the door to make sure it was locked and made his way over to his chair.

Paul began to massage his firm thighs through the creased and starched fabric of his khakis.  He let his mind wander.  The thought of private insurance companies getting a huge windfall from all those senior healthcare vouchers caused a stirring in his pants.  He spread his legs a little to accommodate his growing erection.  "Unregulated rate increases, limited services, arbitrarily dropped coverage...unhhh...," he moaned as his hand moved closer to his cock.  He resisted the urge to go for his zipper and gently stroked his hard dick through his pants.  "Yeah, baby, the stock market...unnhhh, oh yeah...privatize that Social Security...yeessss...don't worry, baby, it's safe"

Paul felt himself getting close to the edge.  He grinded his hips against his hand and felt the pressure building in his crotch.  "Oh God, unnnh, God...class warfare...except...when...it's...directed at the poor!  Oh God, oh yeah!!"

"Let them eat caaaaaake!!"  he shouted as he shot a wad of cum inside his creased and starched khakis.

Random Giants Rambling

Is there anyone on the Giants team that isn't injured?  I'm calling VooDoo on this.  Somebody check Romo's locker for poppets.

Okay, the game is supposed to be on Fox this weekend, but that's what they said last weekend and, huh there was no game.  Stop toying with me, Fox!  If it's one of those Fox Cable channels, specify please!

Eli's QB rating is currently 105.6 which I think is a good thing. **snickering**  Last game he completed 67.5% of his passes (Yay! for Eli!) for a total of 321 yards.  (Apparently the 300+ yard games are kind of common this season though.)  I don't know, I'm getting a good feeling about this season.  We'll see how the injuries affect things this week. (Osi AND Justin Tuck? Sheesh!)

Eli's pants are most flattering.

...And The Rest Of The Team Also, I Mean...

I suppose dear Eli Manning is back in NY's good graces after back to back wins to make up for losing the opener.  Last week's win was NOT due to Vick having to leave the game (he did seem to be taking a Cutler-esque beating)!!  The Giants were hot from the start of the game, shocking everybody who was certain the Eagles had this game in the bag.  Eli gets no respect!  Even after he threw for 4 touchdowns last week (Offensive Player of the Week!) and the Giants beat the Eagles pretty handily, I'm sure they aren't projected to win tomorrow.  I always love the underdog!  Vs Arizona Cardinals Fox 10/2

No butt shots today, but I thought Eli looked pretty darn good in these shots.

Put Down That Key Lime Pie!

What, you thought you were finally feeling comfortable with your body?  A few extra Fig Newtons never hurt anybody, right?  Well take a look at these glamazons teetering down the runway in sky high ankle busters and get ready to re-embrace anorexia!!  But not bulimia, nobody likes puke breath.  Excuse me while I snack on my flavored water and a Tic Tac.

OH MY LORD JESUS PLEASE REMOVE THIS FROM MY BRAIN!!!

Why oh why did I click on to Good Day, LA this morning?  Why oh why did I not immediately change the channel when I heard the words "condom catheter"?  And for fuck's sake why didn't I beat my curiosity into submission when I saw that they were showing a clip from the Dr Murray/Michael Jackson trial?

So here I sit with the image of a dead, naked Michael Jackson with a plastic bag around his genitals with a catheter coming out of the bag and connected to a container of piss.

I refuse to hear anything else about this trial.

Random Stuff I Saw

Spotted:  1.)  A very acceptable vehicle.  2.)  A thing.

Possible Mental Breakdown

Yesterday morning while I was brushing my teeth I suddenly started thinking about the card game Old Maid.  Just out of the blue.  I hadn't thought of that game in at least 25 years.  I wish it had stayed that way because now I'm questioning my sanity.

I thought about how this poor caricature is based on women who were shunned and unwanted in real life.  To have their misery and shame mass produced as hilarious children's entertainment surely had the effect of compounding the old maids' humiliation.

This random stream of thought then struck me as possibly the most random stream of thought I'd ever had.  I got the giggles thinking about the randomness.  This led to all out mouth-wide-open cackling at the thought of these cards lamenting their position in life as the pariahs of their card communities as well as at the fact that I was actually having these thoughts.

It was a strange sight with me laughing uncontrollably with toothpaste foam dribbling out of my mouth...

Poor lady with her sad little Admit One ticket...and the hats, my God the hats!

Freedom Of Oppression

Fighting for the freedom to be oppressed?  Is that a paradox or ironic?  Muslim ladies in France are protesting for their freedom, but their freedom is oppression.  I've never paid much attention to any religions outside of the Colossal Clusterfuck that is Christianity so I don't have an educated opinion about these niqab/hijab combos or burkas.  My initial reaction is that abuse victims become accustomed to the abuse and can't imagine anything else.

Calling Neo...

Okay so I'm sure most people had this stuff in high school, but Maben High School was not trying to offer anything this complex.  I'm seeing it for the first time.  Professor Fuddle (this is my new nickname for him) teaches in a way that makes it seem as if he's thinking out loud.  It's almost like he hasn't prepared a lesson plan; he's just winging it and offering points as they occur to him.  Well, he seemed especially fuddled last night and the class was becoming more and more confused as he was "explaining" the matrix concept to us.

Dude, I felt like I was in "The Matrix" and Prof. Fuddle was the Oracle.  (could not resist that)

I was going to try to navigate this class without getting the book but after last night, Chegg please!

Now, the concept isn't really all that complex, it's just like solving systems of linear equations with multiple variables but SHEESH Fuddle was just in his own world for a bit there.  Huh, now I want to watch "The Matrix" again...that movie never gets old.  **On a side note:  Professor Speed was sweating profusely at the beginning of class on Wednesday night...I'm thinking the nickname may be more apt than I realized.**

Highs & Lows: Season Opener Edition

Lows:  1.)The Giants lost. 2.) Fox cut to the end of the game just in time for me to see them lose.

Highs: 1.) Fox actually cut to the game so I could see some of it. 2.) Eli ran a ball in for a touchdown! (Go Eli!) 3.) New Eli butt shots!

Angry Sober Man Commits Abortion

His eyes were annoying me so I chose my right to not be annoyed and aborted him.  Now he's just a mangled mess, mocking me with his staring eyes and partial head...I think I'll have Pepsi and drumsticks now.

Can I At Least Get A Drink First?

Spotted off of Sunset Blvd...

Oooo, Pretty Colors!!!

**PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ASHY LEGS, FRANKIE, I'VE BEEN WEARING LONG PANTS AND HAVE HAD NO REASON TO PUT LOTION THERE.**

These lovely and colorful bruises are a week old and are still going strong.

I have one on my hip also, but since we are no longer taking those kinds of photos, I didn't include that area.

There once was a man from Adaton.

He drank 'til his eyelids weighed-a-ton.

Encountered a wall,

Proceeded to fall,

Gravity he just didn't reckon on.

Just In Time For My Back To School Math Drama

Spotted in the newspaper today:  This episode of Frazz made me laugh out loud for real.  My boss started snickering at me.

Queue Up Patsy...

Saw this picture of Eli Manning...IIIII fall to piiiieeeces!!  In other words, I like this picture much.

El Cristo Loco

Football Pre-Season Means New Eli!!

Welcome back Eli, seems like you just left a few days ago.  I could swear Eli is looking a bit more fit this season around the waist area.  Of course he was perfectly fine last season as well, but these shots make him seem trimmer.

So this talk radio host basically asked Eli if he thought he was in the same league as Tom Brady.  I know, right?  Rude!  And what was he gonna say?  No?  Good for him for saying that he considers himself in the same class.  When that response unsurprisingly led to much disbelief and chatter throughout the sporting sections of the internet, Eli gave a perfect response:  "I don't know how else I was supposed to answer that question."

Not expecting any televised preseason Giants in my area, but here's hoping I'm mistaken...

Off To A Ripping Start Today!

Seems my brain had a slow start this morning.  One customer called to ask which post office delivers the mail here and I totally had a momentary brain power surge that interrupted normal functioning and I gave her the wrong address.  Only slightly wrong, but wrong none-the-less.  Hope it was nothing important.

Later a customer came in to check his and his mother's mail.  He rarely has his mother's key so I usually have to give him the original key.  Well, I was sure he had been in yesterday to check the mail (and plus I didn't feel like getting up) so I told him that today's mail wasn't in yet so there wouldn't be any new mail there.  He was like, "Oh, I was in yesterday?"  I was like, "Uh huh."  So we had a laugh and he left.  When he left I remembered that he was in TUESDAY, that day that I was so hungover, and that there actually was new mail for his mother.  Um...sorry...

To paraphrase Cher Horowitz, "Ooops, my bad!"

The Champ!!

Looks like dedication and hard work has paid off big time for Danell Leyva!  He won the Visa Championship yesterday to become the new National Champion.  And such a tight race for his first title had to make it that much sweeter.  Up until Jonathan's really heartbreaking fall, it was nothing but tension.  The towel was getting some serious air time!

Here we have Danell being interviewed after the competition, all flush with victory and, dare I say...charming!  Hmmmm, I seem to be rather corny this morning.

C-A-N-D-Y...

Happy birthday, Madonna, plus Great Moments In Eye Makeup.

Interesting New Edit Feature

Picnik has an interesting new starburst kind of thing on their picture editing thing.  I like this.  I want to make a shirt out of it, but it seems kind of flashy...(pictured is that same old photo of me as Jesus)...

Gripe From A Severely Immature 40-Year-Old

So, I sent my folks an email last week informing them that I was having anxiety about my job and life and that I was going to cancel my fall classes.  I got no response.

So, I sent my folks an email this week informing them that I had changed my mind and I was going to attend classes this fall as planned.  I got no response.

I can only infer from their lack of response that it doesn't matter to them either way, or more likely that they are used to my histrionics and decided to ignore this snit.  Either way, I feel like going to my room to pout.

This doesn't have the desired effect when you are in a different time zone than your parents.

Frankie Spotted Something Creepy But Cool...

Sentient Cockroach!! Oh, Yeah!!

So, I'm reading the newspaper today at lunch and saw the best idea for a comic character EVER!!  I can't remember what section I was in, but somebody said something about sentient cockroaches and I was like...WHOA!!  I truly haven't been at all inspired lately, but this has me wanting to give Proverbial Wet Hen a running partner!  Proverbial Wet Hen and Sentient Cockroach?  I don't know, that sounds like something...

PLUS:  I just discovered Click Clack (Make Dat Money) by RuPaul and...pure ambrosia **sighs**...


No karaoke tonight...sounds like a trip to the bar is in order later while I'm all in good spirits.

Serial Killer Alert!!

Spotted:  Cute girl walking in front of our office.  Car pulls up beside her, driver says something to cute girl.  Cute girl giggles and keeps walking.  Driver parks car, gets out, and starts following her!!  Driver did not put money in meter.  Driver stops after a few steps and stands there looking in cute girl's direction as if he's expecting her to turn around and come back.

What was this guy from Alabama or something?  What girl in her right mind would jump in a car with some strange dude yelling at her from a car window?  I know this type of guy.  He looked to be about 50 to 55, wearing the matching shirt and pants set (linen even) and probably uses "look here, baby" liberally throughout his pickup monologue.  My God, I'm even imagining a toothpick hanging casually from his mouth.  Hey, Slick!

I Find This Hilarious In A Tragic & Mind-Bending Way

Black people on the streets of New York marching AGAINST civil rights!?!  How cute!!  Now please do return to the stultifying walls of your beautiful churches, supporting your lecherous priests and reverends and their luxe lifestyles while you struggle to make ends meet.
