Because there aren't enough instances to use 'Capricious'

 Settle in for some random thoughts.

I guess Riga is close enough to Russia for Babushka Dolls (also known as Russian Nesting Dolls, or  Matryoshka Dolls) to be a popular souvenir. Booths lining the streets displayed mass amounts of the wooden keepsakes in every possible shape, size and decor. The hubs thought I was really weird because I was fascinated with the Michael Jackson dolls. Among other random celebrities, like Madonna, Lionel Messi, Bono and The Beatles, MJ's face was quite popular on many of the figurines. Not that I am a huge fan of his or anything, but I just couldn't believe that people would buy this crap.


I wouldn't kid around with something as serious as this. For reals. (source)
Although, I was curious to open one up. I have a theory that the smallest, most inner doll was a tiny little boy. OH! That is so wrong. I went there, I sure did.

Sticking with the cheestastic theme in Riga, the hubs and I went to the corniest/awesomist (a word) Burlesque show in the history of Burlesque shows. Now, I can assure you that this venue, which was more 'cabaret' style than anything, was completely PG. There were dancing girls, some of which were most likely trannies. A magician whose tricks kept going wrong. And not on purpose. A creepster singer, male, who kept eyeing the hubs. I was dying. And this guy, the host for the evening, was by far the most enthusiastic person in the entire Baltic States that evening.



I'm not going to lie, it was one of the more fun nights we've had in a long time. Talk about having the giggles throughout the entire show! If ever in Riga, and down for a different night out, I suggest you check out the newly opened Burlesque. Even if just for a good laugh.

On another note, are 40 year old women serious when they say they can't wait for the new Twilight movie to come out? Is anyone serious when they say this?? Gulp, just felt my followers box get a tad lighter. HA! I ALREADY LOST A TWIHARD TODAY, hahaha. Sorry guys, it's true, I don't get what anyone sees in these movies or books. Sure, Robert Pattinson is a good looking guy, but George Clooney is also a sex symbol, and by no means would I be excited to see the oh-so-horrible Batman and Robin again. Different strokes for different folks, right?! But even if you are a TwiHard, please do yourself a favor and try to refrain from what this granny did to herself. You are not going to believe the picture below.

I really like how the cellulite accents Edwards bone structure. WHO DOES THIS! (source)

And just remembered I had mentioned something about Storytellers this weekend....but I guess that's not going to happen. Next weekend will be crazy with the holiday, so why not say the first weekend in December!? I promise this time!

Last, but certainly not least, is one of my all time favorite videos. My goal in life is to wake every morning and feel half as good as this guy. I cannot get enough of this, and it is so worth the quick one minute watch.



If your Friday didn't start off great, I don't see how you are feeling down after that video!

  3. HAHAHAHAHA that video, seriously made my day. And that tattoo... I wish wish wish wish that was photoshopped. I tried to read Twilight at camp one summer because of course it was the huge craze and I seriously felt like I was reading at 3rd grade reading level. Actually painful.

  6. ROFLMBO...I was laughing at the blonde ladie in the background of the video...I wonder if she peed her pants?? Thanks I am sitting here with a big grin on my face!!
    Hey now I am 40 something but I am NOT into the twilight saga and laughed at all the people that froze their butts off last night waiting for the opening night, sheesh! What's the world coming too, seriously? But then I can imagine my grandparents probably thought the same thing about the beatles craze too? There is always something.
    I won't even comment on the M.J. nesting dolls except for ewwww...why?

    Little boy inside the smallest babushka. Dying here!

    Trannie show in Riga. Hanging out with you!

    Twilight. My hairdresser told me she saw the first movie, I had to break up with her. I miss her but really what could I do.

    Banana. Perfect ending to a crappy day of non-funny events.

  8. Can I just say that ya'll are making my day by agreeing with the Twilight stuff! If you like it, no biggie, you can have it. But loving that there are so many closer Twilight haters out there, haha.
    @iZombie - It was so funny, and crazy. Worth the price for sure! Great idea, maybe I can move there and sell them. If all else fails, I can work in the show, haha.
    @Mrs K - No joke, love his enthusiasm!!
    @Alex - love love love it :) I do too, that poor lady's leg. So bad. I have only seen samples of the writing, 'cause that's as close as I'll get. It was bad. But the movies were laughable.
    @Joshua - So many of them too, so they must be selling!
    @Leigh Anne - can the post get any more random?! Haha. Glad you liked the video!
    @Wendy - It just doesn't get old. I have watched it about 5 times, just today, and I am still laughing. I don't get it either. You are right, there is always something. So creepy, right?!
    @A Happy - Well thanks! So wrong, right?! I always bring the tranny fun....wait, that didn't come out right, haha. You are hilarious, I would have done the same.
    @Lisa - it is a pretty great video!

  9. Hah! That cottage cheese mural ought to be on the new movie poster. Meh, screw the Twihards. I think half the reason we rip on Twilight so often over on our site is to weed out the tasteless morons. HALF the reason...

    Cheers!

  10. Random is right. You are just all over the place. I was sensing a theme till the tattooed ham showed up. I had to un-follow you for 30 minutes to recover but I'm back now. You know I can't make it a whole week without your random humor.

  13. Twihards scare me. There has got to be something wrong with those people and I don't want to be around when their heads explode and they become zombies running around in circles looking for shiny people. My face is too oily for that shit.

  22. I saw 'Breaking Dawn' yesterday, with my 50-sumpthin' mom. Loved it. Not ashamed.

    Your cabaret photo reminded me of a dream I had last night, I which I was looking for a vacuum cleaner to clean up some spilled cocaine when two guys came in in drag. I paid them $10 each to do my makeup. These are the kinds of dreams you have after you've been watching Twilight.
