Ok. It's not often that I post things like this, but I feel very strongly about this one.
http://www.wspa-usa.org/pages/1264_protest_japanese_dolphin_slaughter_on_october_8th.cfm
It's about dolphin slaughter in Japan. I can't even look at the pictures, because they drive me insane. So, I'm sending out 4 copies of this letter, one for myself and I'll find 3 more people to sign. They're not asking for money, just a letter or an email or something. Please people, you can be an armchair activist for just one moment.

Little Orange Fuckers From Hell
My favorite holiday is rolling around again. Have you guessed it? Halloween, of course! Christmas can go fuck itself - Halloween is where it's at. By now, you've probably noticed that a few scary movies have popped into the theaters, and the candy isle at SuperMart is all orange and black. I was noticing it too, the last time I was picking up Gatoraide and shampoo. Even though I've almost completely lost my taste for sweets, there is one candy that possesses me every year. "Mallowcreme Pumpkins". They're those pumpkin shaped things that are made out of candy corn stuff. Mmmm!
I make myself sick on them every season. The other day, (when I was buying Gatoraide and shampoo) I bought a "big" bag of them. Gone. Now, I'm craving them like mad. I must have eaten the entire bag in about two days. By the first of November, I'll be completely sick of them for another year. They don't go very well with beer, especially the cheap beer I steal from my dad. But, I haven't wanted to eat anything else since I bought that bag.
Some people gorge themselves at Thanksgiving dinner. Not a big holiday for vegetarians. Some people pig out on fruit cake. Okay, well I suppose that's not true. Some people look forward to the big, juicy ham on Christmas day. Uh, that's just gross. Some people delight in candy eggs and marshmallow chicks. Not me. Those little orange balls of sugar have me hooked. So, if you pass me in the street, and my tongue is bright orange, you know why. Mmmm..

Back to the Hell from Whence You Came
So, how was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty much par for the course. Went to the "Italian Festival" and sampled some tasty foods, gelato, olives..mmmm... Italians fuckin' rock! Unfortunately, I didn't spy any good looking Italian men. I did enter for a chance to win a trip for two to Italy. Most likely, I'll end up with a bunch of junk mail I don't need. But, I've been in a gambling mood of late and figured I'd give it a shot.
I also took my brother to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose. As per Shenry's suggestion, I'm posting a review. (no spoilers, I promise)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a good movie. It is not, however, a scary movie. The entire focus of the film is on the court proceedings that evolved from a failed exorcism. I believe that "based on a true story" means that it was based on a book written by the author that the defending attorney shared her case notes with. So, here you have a priest who is on trial for "willful neglect" of Emily Rose.
There is no question as to whom the audience is supposed to be rooting for. Obviously, we all believe in demonic possession. The only frightening scenes in the movie are already given away by the trailer. There is only one scene that's mildly disturbing which you probably haven't already seen. All of the parts in the movie that show Emily being possessed are delivered as flashbacks as different characters give their testimony.
Even though I wasn't frightened at all, I did find myself getting into the storyline. It took me about half an hour to warm up to the characters (except for the hard drinking attorney. I identified with her right away). You might be tempted to scoff at "Emily's" performance. But, take a moment to think about just how difficult it might be to portray a young girl possessed by several demons. And then, ask yourself if you could successfully contort your body into all those different and painful looking poses.
So, in conclusion, I suggest that you see The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Just, don't expect to be spilling your popcorn in terrified fits of...um...terrification.

Hell Weighs In
Worried that you might have put on a little too much weight? Wondering if you're still going to fit into your snowpants in time for ski season? Well, now Neko has a simple, easy fat test that you can take in the privacy of your own home.
Neko's Simple & Easy Fat Test:
Find a small object that you can hold in the palm of you hand.
Now, holding that object in your right hand (or left), reach around and try to put it in your left (or right) pants pocket.
Can you do it?
If you said yes, congratulations! You're not fat!
If you said no, you're fat. Go on a diet, exercise, Hell - get some liposuction or a stomach staple if you have to. You'll feel much better about yourself and you'll be much healthier when you've shed those extra pounds. Then, the world will be a better place all around.

Going Straight To Hell
I suppose I'd better keep up with this thing before it gets away from me again.
I'm not dating that guy from work anymore. He's not that guy from work anymore, since he quit. Our relationship and his employment lasted almost exactly the same amount of time. I thought I'd be crushed when it was over. However, I'm finding that I don't really care that much. I mean, he was really hot, but he never lasted more than 3 minutes in the sack. Such a waste.
There was a guy that I was kind of seeing that works at the liquor store. That's over too now. But, he was way beneath me anyhow and I was just lonely I guess. Sounds conceited of me, but c'mon and tell me you've never felt the same about anyone. I'm just being honest.
So, the leads me to once again examine my issues with relationships. I don't have a good track record. Consider that the first boy I ever kissed is now serving a life sentence for murder, the first guy I ever seriously dated has disappeared from the face of the earth, and the first man I married attempted to murder me. Sure can pick 'em, can't I?
More later...I have to look like I'm working...

What the Hell Am I Thinking?
Oh, and by the way, next up on Neko's Rock 'N' Roll tour are Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Santana.
What The Hell Have I Been Up To?
Wow. Time has ravaged this blog like a southern state in a rainstorm. I've been busy. What have I been up to? Well, I can sum it up with a few simple phrases: getting drunk, rock concerts and unprotected sex. Maybe not some of the wisest choices in the world, but certainly some of the most enjoyable.
The first and the last go hand in hand and probably don't need much of an explaination. The rock concerts though, I will divulge.
Let's see...in keeping with my "Summer of Rock" modality, I've been to see The Killers and The White Stripes while I was away. The Killers played "Next Fest" along with local band The Fray, a band called Spoon and a slew of other musicians not particularly memorable. The Fray was really good and had a good raport with the crowd. I always like to see some crowd interaction, participation, what have you, when I go to a show. The Killers performance, however, did not have this quality and I was somewhat disappointed.
The White Stripes kicked so much ass! For a two person band, they really put it on. I would see another show in a heartbeat. If you like The White Stripes even marginally, go and see them live. I swear you won't regret it. As for all the details, you could probably find some in a periodical or publication somewhere. (I just like the word "periodical")
I've hooked up with the new guy at work. He was there for only 3 days before I jumped on it. As far as any gossip about it, we keep it pretty much on the DL. He's everything I never thought I'd find myself with: Catholic, Military and Right Wing Conservative. Although, he's everything I usually find myself falling for: Alcoholic, Tattooed and Emotionally Conservative. He's just down right hot and freakin' cool. I've no doubt this "thing" we have going will crash and burn eventually, but why not live it up when I've got the chance? Besides, I'm sure his well-to-do, attractive and highly available friend will be around to snatch me up. The trick is to stay away from one while I've got the other. I'm a bad, bad girl, but I like it that way.
