Becky's Greatest Hits Vol. II

My current feminist rant is over here . Like it. Don't like it. Print it off and use it to wipe your fanny for all I care. It be da truf! In other news, I am waiting to hear about my chances for a job that I would REALLY love to have and know I would be good at mainly because......well.....I used to do it about 10 years ago. I'll keep you posted. And now us single, trashy moms of the world need to get our young children dressed and head out into the world to further degrade it. I guess it's just what we do......

Well, it's the middle of July and pretty much the middle of the summer as far as I'm concerned. What else is there to do but catch up on some quality time with The Tube? I'm not sure if I'm regressing in age, but I am suddenly in love with Tosh.0 on Comedy Central. I have heard that Tosh is surpassing John Stewart and even The Colbert Report. It's no small wonder to me. He is totally funny, irreverant and shocking but also completely entertaining. I am sometimes almost afraid of what I might see on Tosh. And that's just part of the fun..... I also really dig The Soup for about the same reason I like Tosh.....the comedy of these guys only makes watching the clips that much more fun. Joel McHale is also great on..... Community ......which I have just gotten E-Roc to come around to this summer. "The Modern Warfare" episode totally sucked him in, but we also laughed our asses off when the group tried to set Abed up with a girl in the same episode that Je...

If you haven't heard about The Human Centipede yet, consider yourself lucky. But if you are an Internet nerd like my boyfriend and me, you won't be able to miss it because I predict it is soon going to be EVERYWHERE. I also predict it is going to be one of those awful flicks like Snakes on a Plane that everyone talks about but doesn't actually go and see. And that's a good thing. I am not going to do any of the following: ~give you a link to follow ~give a plot synopsis ~give any more information than is necessary I hope that this blog will be sufficient enough to let you know that it is a film. And it is horrible. And without ruining your day, I will just say it goes along the lines of the current film noire of horror/torture/porn. And yes, for those of you wondering, this does seem to actually be a category. (And this is really a whole other blog post, but I think the people who like any of these kinds of films kinda have something wrong with them anyway. But l...

For as much as I follow and care about basketball (very little) I have to say I'm not mad at LeBron (as if he cares). He said he will always have a heart in Ohio (it's his home) and he was grateful to Cleveland (and he should be) and he knows he did a lot for them too (uh, yeah he did). So the crazy Clevelandnites should stop burning his jerseys (grow the hell up) and acting like a spurned lover (uh, he was a player for your team not your personal friend) and realize he had to make the right decision (basketball is not just a sport for him, it's his job) and go where the money and the winning is (because, uh, that's his job). And he's not a money-grubbing pig (not any more than any other pro athlete) because he wants to make some jack and win some trophies (who doesn't?). And to be fair, if you were him (and you're not) wouldn't you want to play in sunny place where the beautiful (hawt) people live as opposed to a yucky midwestern city that everyone ...

I've been thinking a lot lately about the idea of growing up. When you get to be my age (35) and there are people around your age that haven't hit the marks: ~marriage ~kids ~owning a home ~a responsible, grown-up kind of job that's when you'll start to hear "it's time for you to grow up......." Many experts today agree that many adults live in a state of suspended adolescence. It's blamed on staying in college or living with parents for too long, shows like "Friends" and the general state of our America just being to friggin immature. And what can I say? Maybe all of that is true. Let's all blame Dr. Spock or Dr. Brazelton, "Sesame Street" and being born to the Hippie Generation. But what if you don't want all that? What if you don't want kids and have no interest in marriage? What if you're happy in your studio apartment? What if your job in the bookstore fulfills you quite well? Are you not a grown up? Or w...

How can you not lurve Urban Dictionary ? It's just so fun! This past week they published my newest word pop-block , but you should also go back and check out my anticipatience from a year or so ago. Take some time to peruse while you're there......I'm sure you'll learn something! In other news, the fireworks last night were great from our very own deck. We could actually see them coming from 4 or 5 different locations. And even the local neighborhood peeps threw a lot in the kiddy for these suckers.....theirs were about as good as the ones fired by the city. But the best part of the local demonstration was the hoots and woooos that followed each blast. And Little Boy? Well, he slept right through it, of course, after drifting off while holding his Lite-Brite . Sometimes I guess that's all the 4th of July an 8 year-old needs!

If you don't get it or just aren't familiar with the cultural phenomenon that is "Shit My Dad Says" then you are just behind the times. First it was just a Twitter, then a book and now about to be a tv sitcom. But I think I am going to officially appoint it as my philosophical guide to life. Here are a few of my current favorites: "Don’t focus on the one guy who hates you. You don’t go to the park and set your picnic down next to the only pile of dog shit." "A parent's only as good as their dumbest kid. If one wins a Nobel Prize but the other gets robbed by a hooker, you failed." "I'm just gonna be me and they can go fuck themselves...Don't care, that's the only attitude you can have when you go to the DMV." "If mom calls, tell her I'm shitting... Son, marriage is about not having to lie about taking a shit." "That woman was sexy...Out of your league? Son. Let women figure out why they won't scre...
