Blogher and My Gay German Refrigerator

This was supposed to be a post about my German refrigerator Otto Lothar Alberich* who started to protest his position in this house  after not quite three years of  clean and crisp German service…
So I called the refrigerator repair guy and he came in and stuck a long hose in Otto’s drain and blew really hard and I am pretty sure my refrigerator is gay because it’s stopped all the buzzing and leaking.
See what  a hundred and fifty bucks,  a refrigerator blow job and some opening and closing of the door will do?
open
 

close
 
open
 
close
(must be some kind of refrigerator foreplay)
 
Instead I decided to develop a raging case of panic.
Ha…you thought I was going to say chlamydia, didn’t you?
WELL, you would be terribly wrong.
It’s because I am going to Blogher 2010 in two days and this is the first post I have written since 1982 so I really have no business going to a blogging conference for women now do I?
Especially seeing as though I am actually a 12 year old boy. I keep telling you people this but you all just gloss over that fact like it’s not true but when my mom drops me off won’t you be surprised.

On the bright side I am pretty sure there is a butt load of xanax waiting for me over at the pharmacy so WHEEE!

(maybe I am not going to be all panicky after all.)

It’s this whole idea I got into my head that I somehow belonged at this conference with real writer types that just boggles my mind.

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?
I don’t even like talking on the phone for crying out loud.
For me the wonderful thing about “social” media is that there really isn’t any actual in person and live socializing going on because I have a problem with this kind of thing.
I can’t even accept a blog award gracefully from these two lovely ladies so it is clear that I should be sitting this one out, but instead I am going to load up the car with 50 life size card board cutouts fashioned in my likeness and haul them down to NYC , prop them up every where and have them take notes and do the meet and greet so I can sit quietly in my room alone with the shades drawn staring at the glowing screen of my computer right where I am most comfortable.
So might I suggest some valuable reading over to the right on my blogroll…any one of those links will take you to a far better, far more prolific place than this cracked and parched barren landscape.

 

P.S. Should you decide you would like to read more of this crap (bwaahaahaa, I am funny sometimes,  right?) I added a nifty little email subscription to the right of this or any post title, go ahead you can be one of all three cool kids who have subscribed.
P.P.S. I think I actually succeeded in posting about *Otto Lothar Alberich (wealthy loud warrior elf ruler)

Bathing Is Way Overrated

Oh summer and the joys you bring. I know what you’re thinking.
‘Vapid has some kind of serious neurosis about summer.’

Well my darling people you would be correct.

HOWEVER…
(and that is a big however if you didn’t notice)
I would love for it to be summer time all day every day year round.
Flowers bloom year round. Grass is always green. 
The business I am in, which may or may  not be hooking selling my soul to Satan in the name of dresses, booms in the summer.
Hell even though I hate bathing, the showers are even better in the summer.

The Dish and I have an outdoor shower that I think I may have spoken of at least once before but for the life of me right now I CAN NOT FIND IT in my archives so I am probably just crazy.

My problem with it is that I am not tall enough and the shower head is set so high that the only part of me that can get under it without washing my hair is my ass.  And yes even though it is a squeaky clean ass, it does need to be washed every now and then but, and that’s a big but (not a big butt mind you) I just don’t like to wash my hair EVERY day, the natural oils that build up act much like hair product so I am actually saving money by having dirty hair. 

Just try blow drying your hair in this 300,000 % humidity.
It’s pointless I tell you,

P O I N T L E S S!

I can blow dry my hair for an hour in the summer and the only thing that happens is I get sweat streaks running down my back, under my boobs and yes….in between my legs, which by the way is totally embarrassing.
“Hi everyone, just want to mention that I didn’t actually pee my pants, I am sweating…..

from my crotch.”

Back to the hair, which never really dries and by the time I give up it’s still damp, I am damp and the word damp is just gross.

(I swear I am not complaining about the warm weather I would so rather be damp
than frozen and crazy like I was this week.)

But whoa have I gotten really off topic and *big exhale* my point is I don’t often use the outdoor shower since I don’t often wash my hair and keeping it dry can not happen in the outdoor shower.

When I do use the outdoor shower though, I love it.
It doesn’t matter if it is raining, humid, chilly or hot and dry. Taking an outdoor shower is some how very liberating. Very sensual. Almost stimulating especially if someone pulls up the driveway…which actually hasn’t happened.
THANK FUCKING GOD!!!
(but is totally something that I panic about each and every time I use the outdoor shower)

I get to look at our garden.

  That I am so proud of since I never really thought I could actually grow anything. 
Sometimes before I hop in the shower I may do a little naked weeding.
*cue soft core porn music now*

But only a little because there are certain places that getting a mosquito bite is just altogether awkward so I scurry back to the shower only to

 

GET EATEN ALIVE BY AN ANACONDA!!!!

 

 

WHO DEFINITELY TELLS ME TO ‘BACK THE FUCK OFF OR I WILL EAT YOU ALIVE SO BAD YOU WILL WISH I WAS THE
MONGOLIAN DEATH WORM.’

 And from that moment on everything is a giant snake in the grass

TRYING. TO. KILL. ME.

 

ACCKKK!!!

 

Holy fuck balls!

 

Oh my god, oh MY GOD…what do I do, what do I do?

I
 run to the shower turn on the water, close my eyes and hope the giant beast hates water, that’s what I do. Because it’s a mother fucking snake that eats things whole and then sits there on a rock gloating with it’s belly full of whole human beings.

WHOLE HUMAN BEINGS!

 Then when I finally open my eyes to find the snake gone I grab my shampoo only to be attacked by 

A GIANT SPIDER! 

Who was probably watching the whole anaconda ORDEAL come down and thought ‘watch me scare the living shit out this chick, her nerves are probably all shattered by now. BWAHAAAHAAAAHAA!’

EWWWWWW!
*swats spider away while screeching like a cat in heat*

 So by the time I am ready for work I feel  like a snake ridden, spider nest with runny mascara and a damp crotch.

 

And I am sure I look like just like this…

 

 

I probably shouldn’t be allowed to leave the house under any circumstances….EVER!
