Don't Argue With The Gay Flight Attendant

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed an extremely well-dressed and exotic young woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."

To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray up, Bitch."

uh-oh!


this is all over the internet now, so i'm off the hook. apparently he went around at school today and signed autographs for anyone who had the picture. makes me wonder if it was an accident or not.

Single Forever


okay people I get it, I am going to be single until the day I die. the world has proven its point, I am doomed to be single and that is okay now in my books. I must say that, I thought perhaps at some point in my life I might meet someone; so anyone really. Here is the thing I did not meet anyone (on this continent) in high school, I am not doing much better in university, and really honestly I hate (almost)everyone I meet! I think that really unlike most members of my sex who seem to be able just to hook up with anyone suddenly I have standards like: do you know who Comte is and why he was crazy? or be able to respond to his question that would be looking for the answer, Yes I do find Foucualt's idea of the panopitcon and modernity fascinating and I would love to discuss this with you further over a good glass of Pinot Grigio. SO, basically I will be invading all of your lives as a perpetual third wheel. except this, I have.

(this is Maman, one of my favourite sculptures of all time, it is in a installation in germany here which is in the Schwarzwold. She is moved periodically to fully appreciate how she divides space!)

Why?!?!?!!

Why do skinny ass little guys find me attractive? I really do not find them attractive! there is nothing attractive about a moving corpse! seriously! there is something wrong with anyone who lusts after these creepy little things that run around thinking they are hot shit! news flash bitches they are not! I hope that eventually they give up trying to get with me because it is not okay that someone I can bench press tries to hit on me. NO!NO!NO! stay away please! I do not care how gay you are even drag queens can be buff!! and I mean they are still hot as men. SO if you are skinny and gross please take my advice buy some FUCKING PROTEIN POWDER GET GYM MEMBERSHIP AND BULK UP A LITTLE BEFORE YOU TRY TO CONVINCE ME TO GO HOME WITH YOU!! this has been a public service announcement from concerned homo from Peterborough. thank you

Okay, I'm going to post as a negative nancy because...well, I can.

I'm just putting it out there how hurt and angry I am that none of you wished me a happy birthday. Except Amanda.
We have phones, people.
Now I'm going to continue crying in a corner.

Nina however, is also an exception because Ireland is a good excuse.

That is all.

You shouldn't talk drunk, it is almost as bad as drunk texting

okay, so I have learnt my lesson about talking drunk. a bad habit I have formed wherein my drunk mind allows what little filter between my brain and my mouth to check out and allow me to say stupid things. of course given the fact that when I mix any two liquors or just get too drunk I forget everything this is bad. this is so bad because then I do not know that I should be doing damage control because I can barely remember my name let alone what I have said after drinking too much. I am going to go dry for one week just to remind myself not to be a total ass. Love you ladies and I wish you were here for comfort

By the way is anyone else in love with Bones and Kirk as a couple?


okay so the title says it all but I have officially decided that B0nes (Leonard H. Mccoy) and Kirk (James T. Kirk) should date. I mean I was watching old Star Trek hereafter referred to as TOS (the original series) and I can totally see where all of those adoring fan girls in the sixties got the whole Kirk/Spock subtext and started the best genre of fanfiction ever! (slash for you ungeeky losers who are not addicted to the possibilities of subtext that populates every show movie and book ever written). But the big revelation of the new movie (hereafter referred to as STXI) is that Bones/Kirk is way hotter in this new universe than Kirk/Spock ever was. Okay so the actors are way hotter, and the makeup is better and yes the uniforms actually fit. and you get to see Kirk in his really well fitted underpants but still it is so hot. I am sorry if this offends anyone but I thought if anyone can live with me geeking out about Star Trek that it was you ladies (and Dan) who I think at least in part understand the hotness of the STXI! 

The Schmompers!

I live in a world where my neighbours Schmomp! A word that describes the sound of their incredibly irritating form of walking! Oh woe is me the boy who lives below the Schmompers! They walk about, day and night! do they have jobs? I do not know but, they do seem to always be home. All I can think is I am like that weird old hermit from Friends who bitches about the loud music in Rachel and Monica's apartment. You know, that guy who when he dies leaves all of his shit to Chandler. Oh god they are now moving furniture I hope. Sometimes I sit in my livign room distracted from my reading by their walking and I try to imagine what the fuck they are doing to make so much noise. All I normally end up envisioning are some obese people using chairs like walkers so that they can make it to the fridge to get more ben and jerry's before the next episode of Big Brother begins. Save me from the Schmompers!

Ummk, so.

I am here, in Dublin, and I must say:

I MISS YOU GUYS.

Mucho. Really, I do. I mean, sure I'm in Ireland and all, but I'm lonely! There's all these people, but I don't know any of them, and none of them are anything close to you.

So, I have devised a plan. You all are coming here, next week. I don't care about school, I don't care about anything, you're coming. I'll be expecting you next Saturday at around 11:00.

Cheers,

Nina

pretty good pho


the broth



  • 2 onions, halved

  • 4″ nub of ginger, halved lengthwise

  • 5-6 lbs of good beef bones, preferably leg and knuckle

  • 1 lb of beef meat – chuck, brisket, rump, cut into large slices [optional]

  • 6 quarts of water
  • 
1 package of pho spices [1 cinnamon stick, 1 tbl coriander seeds, 1 tbl fennel seeds, 5 star anise, 1 cardamom pod, 6 whole cloves - in mesh bag]
... you can get this at the asian grocery store. something about nguyen somethingorother pho.
  • 1 1/2 tbl salt

  • 1/4 cup fish sauce

  • 1 inch chunk of yellow rock sugar (about 1 oz) – or 1oz of regular sugar

the bowls


  • 2 lbs rice noodles (dried or fresh)

  • cooked beef from the broth

  • 1/2 lb flank, london broil, sirloin or eye of round, sliced as thin as possible.

  • big handful of each: mint, cilantro, basil

  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

  • 2-3 chili peppers, sliced

  • 2 big handfuls of bean sprouts

  • hoisin sauce
  • 
cock sauce (sriracha)

char: turn your broiler on high and move rack to the highest spot. place ginger and onions on baking sheet. brush just a bit of cooking oil on the cut side of each. broil on high until ginger and onions begin to char. turn over and continue to char. this should take a total of 10-15 minutes.

parboil the bones: fill large pot (12-qt capacity) with cool water. boil water, and then add the bones, keeping the heat on high. boil vigorously for 10 minutes. drain, rinse the bones and rinse out the pot. refill pot with bones and 6 qts of cool water. bring to boil over high heat and lower to simmer. using a ladle or a fine mesh strainer, remove any scum that rises to the top.

boil broth: add ginger, onion, spice packet, beef, sugar, fish sauce, salt and simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. remove the beef meat and set aside (you’ll be eating this meat later in the bowls) continue simmering for another 1 1/2 hours. strain broth and return the broth to the pot. taste broth and adjust seasoning – if you want a little more flavor, add a few dashes more of fish sauce, large pinch of salt and a small nugget of rock sugar (or large pinch of regular sugar).

prepare noodles & meat: slice your flank/london broil/sirloin as thin as possible – try freezing for 15 minutes prior to slicing to make it easier. remember the cooked beef meat that was part of your broth? cut or shred the meat and set aside. arrange all other ingredients on a platter for the table. your guests will “assemble” their own bowls. follow the directions on your package of noodles – there are many different sizes and widths of rice noodles, so make sure you read the directions. for some fresh rice noodles, just a quick 5 second blanch in hot water is all that’s needed. the package that i purchased (above) – needed about 45 seconds in boiling water.
ladling: bring your broth back to a boil. line up your soup bowls next to the stove. fill each bowl with rice noodles, shredded cooked beef and raw meat slices. as soon as the broth comes back to a boil, ladle into each bowl. the hot broth will cook your raw beef slices. serve immediately. guests can garnish their own bowls as they wish.

yum!
