And a very happy C.J. Cregg week Hump Day to you!



Yes. I agree with her. [points to Amy] Look, they take this job away from me, I got nothing. I don't have a cat. I could get one, but I don't have one. Frankly, I'm not wild about cats. I don't hate them. I'm just not... I could learn to like them, I guess, if I...

C.J. Week .... Election Day!



Hartsfield has accurately predicted every Presidential election since William Howard Taft, who, by the way, was the founder of the seventh inning stretch where we sing Take Me out to the Ball Game, words and lyrics by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer. It's all part of the service here at Claudia's House of Useless Knowledge. That's a full lid. Thank you very much.

C.J. Cregg week!!!

In honor of Election Day, on November 3, 2009, Popular and I are dedicating this week to all things C.J. Cregg.



When I came in here, back in the late 50's, there was a purpose to it, but then one thing led to another and I blacked out. I mean, I can hang in there with the best of them, sir, but somewhere in the discussion of anise and coreander and the other 15 spices you like to use to baste a turkey, I simply lost consciousness.

So this time I'm serious! ...I think


So, Flamingo here has been having something of a minor mental break down as of late. And so after a great little "come to Jesus" meeting with a friend the other day, I've decided I need to make some changes. And I've probably typed it before, but I will again... If you write it down/type it, you will do better at sticking to it... so here goes:

1. I will develop and maintain a more positive attitude.

2. I will not complain (as much or as often...come on now, can't just stop it completely)

3. I will not be overly sensitive! Not every action by those around my is intended to hurt, demoralize or kill me... (only some of them are)

4. I will take better care of myself, physically and emotionally.

5. I WILL go to the gym 3 - 5 times a week. (and not just half ass it...)

6. I will ask for help when I need it. (not just expect everyone else to psychically know that I need it)

7. I will love myself regardless of anything that happens.

8. I will eat better ...
> I am totally doing Ineffably's low carb detox/diet thing. I'll put up a seperate post if you're interested.

9. I will not be so fucking needy! Okay, I will learn to control it and not show it, even if it's killing me inside, so as not to scare off any potentials out there...

10. I will post more resolutions as I work and develop them in my new Flamingoness.

So there it is, my New Year's resolutions in November (if people can have Christmas in July, I can have New Year's resolutions in November). So, those of you who really know me, like in real life, just not via the internet... feel free to add any constructive (not destructive) criticism that you think will help me on this path to better myself. Loves ya!

Cumpleaños felices a mí!!!



Well, it was XX years ago that I popped outta the maternal maturation chamber. It's been an interesting ride to get to where I am for sure. Ups, downs, highs, lows, mountains, valleys.... call 'em whatcha want... but here I am.

So, I just definitely gotta say, Zombie Queen, Roommate, Princess, Nugget and a couple of others, thank you for turning not the greatest day into one of the best birthday's I can recall! I may not have everything I want in the life, but god damn! I have some fucking amazing friends in my life! I have an incredible family that I love (even if they drive me insane at times).

And to top it all off, I got a fucking 176 bowling tonight after yummy Cheesecake Factory! Again, to those friends who helped make this a great day.... THANK YOU!!! I <3 you all so very much!

What can I say.... it's the best of both worlds!


So, according to an article by John DeVore, women love vampires and men love zombies....

What can I say... maybe it's the gay in me, but dear god... I love zombies and vampires!

Here are just a few of my favorites (movies, books and characters)...

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I know, not technically a vampire, but close enough)
2. Faith the Vampire Slayer
3. Spike
4. Angel
5. Shadow of the Vampire
6. Zombieland
7. Fido
8. Shaun of the Dead
9. 30 Days of Night
10. Interview with a Vampire
11. Queen of the Damned (more the book than the movie)
12. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (book)
13. Anita Blake and all of her vampires, zombies and wereanimals
14. Pandora (from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles)
