Leaving...

So it is official, we are moving! Now's the fun part...finding a place. I am not going to limit myself to just our current neighborhood. There are a few others I might check out as well. Researching and visiting prospective apartments can be taxing, but I think things happen for a reason. Anyhoo wish us luck in finding something both safe and affordable. But above everything, dog friendly is #1 on my list :)

Crummy Faggot

I just posted this on Togerland, so sorry if it's old to you. But anyhoo...

I don't know if any of you listen to Johnny McGovern's podcast. He has Sophia Lamar on regularly and she is a hoot! She recently gave her top 10 reasons you may be a crummy faggot...

10. You wear flip flops

9. You ask for a drink ticket

8. You have highlights

7. You have a Christina Aguilera ring tone

6. You are so tan that you are orange

5. You are an escort

4. You think that the Gotti boys are fashion icons

3. You haven't slept in 4 days

2. You wax your asshole

1. You wear a t-shirt w/ a tie

Loves it! I think I know a few people that have more than one of these traits. I admit I wear flip flops. One out of 10 ain't too bad! LOL! Enjoy your holiday weekend my fellow Yanks.

Pretty Girl

I have an addiction and it's called TV shows on DVD! Especially soaps! I am currently watching:


Apuesta por un amor. So far it's nothing spectacular but one of my faves broads is in it...Patricia Manterola! She is by far one of my fave floptastic divettes!

From the moment I saw her in Garibaldi she was the one who stood out to me:



When she went solo I was all about it!



But it was w/ her second disco drenched album (that every loca should own fyi) that sealed the deal. Who remembers this one? The title track to her fagalicious 2nd album Niña Bonita. I think I came out to this album! LOL!



So she hasn't had that many hits, well I guess one really. I mean they even did an English version that was popular in Europe...



While she does b-movies in Hollywood and the occasional album, let's hope we get another album soon (that crappy cover album she released independently doesn't count).

So soon

Sorry I haven't been bloggin' lately. Work has been busy this past week. As some of you may or may not know, last Monday someone tried to break into our apartment. I won't go into details as my boo boo has already done so. Luckily no one was hurt as someone was home when this occurred. So we spent the majority of the week cotemplating whether or not we are going to renew our lease when it's up next. Personally I hate moving, but under the current circumstances...it's totally worth it. Our safety and well being outweighs the hassle of packing. As I type this, I was just outside walking our dog when I saw this man run out of someone's home only to see one of my neighbors run after him. Turns out this guy broke into their home while they were there. Sound familiar? 2 break-ins in one week! WTF? So I'm going to be looking for something in the immediate future, hopefully something a little more secure. If I had the money I would totally buy my own place, but unfortunately that's not going to happen anytime soon.

On a lighter note this is the first time I ever picked the winner for America's Next Top Model! I am so excited that our little cha cha tranny won! LOL! GO Jaslene!



When I found out she was from Chicago I was joking that she must be from Humbolt Park because she was so trashy...well I was right! Loves it!

There was something else I was gonna write about but I am drawing a blank. Sorry.

Muchachitas

So as some you may or may not know, Televisa has begun airing a remake of it's hit 1991 telenovela Muchachitas (which they've slightly renamed Muchachitas como tú). I won't even go into details about how awful this is, check out the opening credits of the new version to see for yourself. Hell while we're at it check out the original intro!



So why all this Muchachitas talk? Not that I haven't talked about it before. I had told my bf before that it was the first novela I ever watched. At the time I was a Freshman in high school and was just embarking on my journey to relearn Spanish. I remember being obsessed w/ it and the stars (except for Kate Del Castillo whom I still can't stand...sorry Chava I just had to rub it in!!)...



This novela also started my love for Tiaré Scanda might I add. Anyhoo...so I watched it, with my limited Spanish I was able to follow along. I mean it was a soap, pretty basic right? I remember always talking about it w/ the other Mexican girl at my high school. And I remember she said to me "They're cancelling it". I was like "what???!!!???" I did not realize that telenovelas were only on for a short time. I thought they were like American ones that have been on for decades. I remember being so sad when it ended.

Needless to say I've come to grow fond of this trashy genre. I especially love when they release them on DVD in condensed formats. As for my love for my first soap...you know what I loved most? Laura León!!! LOL!!!



Ay yay yay!!!!

Today is Chus's 3rd birthday! He's 21 in dog years :) Who would have thought that a little black & white furball could fill our lives w/ so much joy? Animals truly are special and I can't begin to explain how much we love having our little guy around :) I couldn't resist and had to post this adorble pic I found of him:



So today he will have a small doggie cake and a trip to PetSmart to pick out a toy (like he needs more). And in case anyone was wondering about our visit to the Kidney Specialist, all went well. They've put him on some prescription medication that he needs to take for life, which is rather scary, but it's a preventative & necessary step for his future health. He's a trooper so I am sure things will go smoothly.

Enjoy your day!
