Notes From the Homogeneous Zone (sorta):

Today at work Joe gave me a sweet deal for having a pretty face. We hashed out the deal over google chat. For a total of 50 bucks, Joe will send me an ipod mini, a wireless game cube controller, and mario kart; plus, a drawing. Joe is broke and I can help. Before heading out into the miserable San Francisco rain with a broken umbrella to the post office, I drew a picture to wrap around the money order in order to keep it concealed. I used 45 minutes of paid work time to create one of my best drawings yet -

RASTA PRED-ALIEN

I knew I was pretty good at drawing but when I started this at my desk while listening to Revolution by Bad Brains (live), I knew I was in the zone. I used MS paint for the hat because of stupid work scanner's intolerance for beautiful color. By the way, I LOVE microsoft paint. So many good memories. Like the time I used it to draw a picture of an unforgettable man that appeared late one night on the subway like a giant clown bike messenger from hell. I hung it up at the Knitting Factory (where I worked at the time) and titled it "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?" It turned out to be Dino Sex, the drummer of the Murder Junkies.

CHEERS Y'ALL, NO BABIES IN 2008!

Jamie Lynn Spears is giving her baby to her mother:

"She still wants her daughter to be able to be a teenager, go to parties, hang out with friends and have a career. So she'll take the front seat of caring for the baby and take the pressure off her daughter."
"Lynne is convinced that having a baby on her hip will not help Jamie Lynn's future in the business and she's expecting her daughter to pick up where she left off as soon as the baby is born."

Hmm. So a mom is saying to her daughter and the world that having a baby will do nothing but KEEP YOU DOWN. Wow. How nice it is to be able to do whatever, WHENEVER huh?
WELL FUCKING DUH.
I was talking to Angela on the phone the other day and she mentioned happily that she was on some new birth control. The name of the pill was something I had never heard of and it started with a T. Even when she said the name repeatedly I still got it wrong, "Tripistan? Tripartion? Tripshun?" I told her, "Why can't they name it something similar to what it is, man? Something catchy, like uhhh...I don't know, Prebort?" And she said in a Yaz spokeswoman-type, feminist-y, bubbly voice, ending the slogan in an up note, "Before you A-bort, Pre-bort!"
I love my friends and microsoft paint - this I know.
