A Little More Like This…

I’m all over the map today and I’m so busy with blog orders I can’t hardly see straight. My buddy Johnny Dain has a very funny take on Britney Spears shaving her head. He thinks she’s a Klingon and I think he might be right, he has pictures to prove it! He’s got quite a warped sense of humor, kinda like me. LOL I did the design for his website a while back. I just wish he would post more often.

A while back Wal-Mart stole nearly $300 from my bank account by using a Mastercard debit card number that I had once used for a legitimate purchase. The billing didn’t list any items purchased, just money “removed” very weird! I knew immediately it had to be someone on the store end that got into my account info because that card has never been out of my possession and to use it even online you have to have the card in hand for the 3 digit security number on the back. That means the only way they could have gotten that number was through the Wal-Mart records. I disputed it and the money was returned about a week later. My bank told me that Wal-Mart had 45 days to dispute the charge back. I kept worrying that they would give me trouble over it but I finally got notice that the grace period was passed. So I guess I get to keep MY frikkin’ money, how nice of the bastards! It was a relief though, I just wish I could press charges for the theft. Can I send Wal-Mart to jail? Now that would be cool!

It’s Mardi Gras here, ho-hum… LOL I have yet to go to a parade, maybe I will this weekend. I’ve been enjoying the King Cakes though, damn those things are so good! Chewy and gooey and delicious, just what I need for my expanding waist line. Don’t swallow the plastic baby inside!

I was going thru some of my photos and came across a few that I took in New York on one of my visits to see Lisa. I don’t think I ever posted them. One night we went out to watch Deni of Last Girl on Earth blog play at a gay bar near downtown New York City. They were having some kind of gay, wacky costume contest and not only was Deni playing violin but she was one of the judges of the contest. That contest was strange! The bar was strange, everything was strange! I just stayed real close to Lisa and luckily no one hit on me LOL Now that I think back about it, should I be insulted? Hmmm. We actually had quite a good time, but I don’t think I would go back. hehehe


That was pretty much one of the coolest violins I’ve ever seen and she really can play it too! I’m looking forward to my next trip to visit Lisa and Deni and hopefully Julie too, I hope to go sometime soon.

See ya’ll!! =)

    Aw, don’t feel bad–if I saw you in a gay bar and Lisa wasn’t there (to kick my ass) I’d hit on you for sure!! ~nodnod~

    Oh, wait…

  2. LisaBinDaCity Said:

    Wait, did I hear my name being mentioned? All the way from sunny LA? I can’t leave for a minute before trouble begins around here ;-)
    I remember that show. Quite wacky although Deni rocked the house! She’s always fabulous.

    Yum, King Cake!!! That stuff RULES. I like the cinnamon ones.

    70 degrees and glorious here. Catch ya soon :-)

  3. LisaBinDaCity Said:

    I forgot to mention that I remember you sitting so close to me at the gay bar you were practically on my lap ;-)

  4. Vince Said:

    I’d have gone to the Walmart in question and demanded they find out who grabbed your number. Or I’d go to the press. Wouldn’t that just be lovely!

    The king cake looks yummy! What’s the deal with the plastic baby?

  5. se7en Said:

    Vince: The person that gets the slice with the little plastic baby inside has to throw the next King Cake party!

    interesting king cake story….I didn’t know about the plastic baby part of it. I also have no idea what king cake tastes like, but thanks to blogging and seeing the pics of a few people’s sites, at least I know what it IS!

  7. Sophmom Said:

    I didn’t get any king cake this season. Harumph. I didn’t get to any parades either (wait, I’m in parade-impaired Atlanta). I did watch the parades on the nola.com webcams and I watched most of the day Tuesday on WWLtv’s webcast. Very cool. Plus the NOLA bloggers have pics, pics and more pics, so I *almost* feel as if I’d been there.

    I hope you got out at least a little and I mostly hope you’re feeling much, much better. Peace, darlin’.

  8. Jules Said:

    Glad you explained the plastic baby thing. I was getting worried about you there for a minute.

  9. Liz Said:

    Is there anything inside the King cake other than a plastic baby? does it have cream filling or anything? It sure looks yummy.

  10. Sara Said:

    Definitely a cool violin.

    I think you should be flattered to be picked up in a gay bar. HAHA.

  11. Bunny N Early Said:

    Hi ya!
    Stopped in to check up on our favorite blog designer. Sounds like your doing great, good for you!
    I don’t think I’ve had a crab cake, I guess Austin lacks culture lol. Or maybe we just feel a little uncomfortable eating things that are so many different bright colors.
    Stay safe friend.

  12. Serena Said:

    That just sucks about the Wal-Mart $$ theft. Did you know WM has their own banks now? Lord have mercy.

    Hey, I’d have picked you up in the gay bar, too.:)

    GO to a parade, eat more King Cake, and Happy Mardi Gras.
