On A Limb with Claudia

Ok, I went on vacation and forgot to tell you.
I could apologize with a large excuse that I assumed when the brochure said “free wireless internet” that it meant free wireless internet and not wireless internet for those of you who manage to find out the password by sleeping with the European guy in the [...]

Last week, I sent out a survey to enhance my awareness of what people in the First District of Colorado thought about the war in Iraq.  The response I received was incredible.  Thousands of people shared with me their thoughts, feelings, and deepest beliefs.  You were among them, and I wanted to take this opportunity [...]

My trainer said, “You have asthma.”
I said, “I do not.” And I laughed.
I mean really, what does he know?  He just turned thirty years old and I’ve lived in this body for… well a long time.  Asthma, bah.
“Talk to your doctor,” he said.
“About what?” I asked.
“Your asthma,” he replied.
I shrugged.  Why would I talk to [...]

I recently discovered Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous by Good Charlotte.  It has the awesome lyric:
“If money is such a problem, they’ve got mansions, think we should rob them.”
The video is a crack up too.
Of course, a certain celebrity is now out of rehab and wants her privacy.
I know I’ve said I feel sorry [...]

Janet Evanovich says that she eats a lot of Cheez Doodles.
I thought, “Damn, if I eat Cheez Doodles, I might be able to write a best seller.”
Instead, I got distracted and found this:

Cheez Doodle People
and decided that maybe the way to become a better writer is to write.
Not eat Cheez Doodle.
And I’ll do just that. [...]

Can you do it?
I can’t.
I can’t look without flinching at the list of men and women who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I don’t have the protection of feeling indignant (”This should not be happening”) or classism disguised as existentialism (”They made the choice”).  I don’t believe that there is a God that would have [...]

Let’s talk about St. Pat.
St. Patrick’s day is a major holiday here.  It’s when people “get their Irish” out.  (I have no idea what that means.)  You can drink copious quantities of green beer at any local bar.  There’s a parade and a few events for people to celebrate their Irish hyphen.

Last weekend, Rocker Boy had a party.  He invited over 1,000 people - people he knew, people he didn’t know, friends of friends.  And he uninvited us.
Yep, that’s what happened.
Why did he uninvited us?  It’s a convoluted story involving a liar, a brother, $1,000 South Park rental, a lack communication skills, and a prejudice against [...]

Ok, I’m bummed out about my bees.  In an effort to cheer me up, D. showed me David Hasselhoff’s new video, Jump in my car. And I had to share.
Ew.
