Blowin' the dust off --

Okay. It's been a while. A lot to say, but you know, not in the exact mood to tell.

Oh. I finally got a new shower head?? What, you may ask?? How lame?? Riight, but you know, just bear with me.

A few months back, Bunnie posted about her super-duper new shower filter. As a true needer of the new and interesting items a friend shares, especially when it promises SMOOTHER SKIN (!!) I figured that would be great fun. Not to mention, I have weird-ass allergies to almost everything that floats in the one-eyed breeding water that filters through just plain ole pipes SO...

The night I got the filter, I thought I would be BIG girl and install it all by my lonesome, but somehow got everything wrong and ended up BREAKING my lovely hand-held showerhead and having a gaping pipe coming out of my wall, minus the new and stellar filter. Having the lovely landlord I do, he came ASAP with his toolbox and sweet oldman plummerbutt to help me fix my mess. Along the way he also brought me this odd, bullet sized adornment for my shower. What, you ask?? It was a shower head of sorts, one that promised to work once we trounced the old broken shower head I'd murdered.

So since then I have been showering with this SPRAYING DEMON of a showerhead. It sometimes reminds me of prison movies, you know, when they are being brutally hosed off before being sent their cell. Or in Silkwood when they are trying to get the radiation off of them.

Why didn't I change it?? I couldn't get the damn thing off and did not want to bother the Landlord again. But yesterday I bought a spanking new showerhead and decided that I was smart enough to fix this. And I did. And then I took a 50 minute shower (I was really starting to smell!). Aaahhh, the beauty of the new shower head.

Oh, and I was in Chicago last week, which was LOVELY. Being in my hometown is an exact 180 to my world here. Its sloooooow and lucky for me, I'd just missed a massive heat wave and instead was blessed with high 70's weather with tons of breeze. Lovely. I visited with my closest friends and family and just chillaxed. I was actually growing antsy with the quiet and ended my trip in the area called, Andersonville, which is at the very north tip of the city -- niiice.

AND I've been thinking alot about the recent spill of Spelling Bee movies that KEEP coming out:

I've decided that the first of the spelling bee movies ("Spellbound") was quite interesting and cute, but now three are JUST too many and watching a bunch of children pee themselves in fear over misspelled words and the stress of word rules is just cruel. FUNNY, but cruel. Funny like:



Happy Weekend!!
