A year (well, five months) in pictures

I didn’t realize how many pictures I’d taken this year. Here are some of my favorites that I haven’t posted before.

Duets: Rules for living

NEW YEAR’S EVE update rule:

You can’t go wrong with plaids (overalls are another story):

I’m way too old for you but, what the fuck, let’s screw:

Pockets are handy places to put your hands:

Making bedroom eyes at your brother is just plain creepy:

Can money buy the joys of poverty?

Thanks for the ass shakin’, Eartha

The couple of tributes I’ve read regarding the passing of Eartha Kitt sucked. All black and white shit. Yes, she did have a great career as a young woman but I wasn’t there. I’m (relatively) young so I only remember Eartha as the one who made me dance my ass off (I’m too young for the Batman tv series, too).

This is the Eartha I remember:

I can’t tell you how much joy and how much fun I’ve had dancing to these songs. Thanks so much, Eartha. You made my life better.

Not my life line AND my love line!

I love my kittehs but they don’t always love me (courtesy of kitteh #3):

This happened Christmas Eve. Kitteh #3 freaked out (she’s freaky that way). I know the warning signs but I ignored them (ie I’m a drunken bitch).

Not in the spirit

Kitteh #1…

hates the overcommercialization of Christmas. Or he hates reading my blog. I can’t tell.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT UPDATE: Cute with Chris liked my kitteh too!

If you have been watching the news these past few months, you hear a lot of terms being thrown around while discussing the cause of our current financial mess. Things like hedge funds, credit default swaps and mortgage backed securities. I, like most people, have heard these terms for a while but don’t fully understand what they mean. Wiki helps a bit but sometimes reading what something means and understanding are two completely different things. That’s why I was so happy to find this guy (thanks to Greg Mankiw’s Blog (and I don’t understand half of what he says either but I still recommend reading it.))

Not only does he do an excellent job of explaining the murky and sometimes boring world of financial markets and big business, he also happens to be really cute and has a great Irish accent (this shit is important).

Hedge funds made simple:

Sorry, Dan Mitchell. You are now officially considered back door trade.

Last minute Christmas ideas

AC/DC: Rules for living

Times are tough; look for bargains (and whore out your elderly mother… take her to Kohl’s on Wednesday; the bitch saves you 15%)

Times are tough but that shouldn’t stop you from throwing a party(especially for charity):

Religion is a refuge in tough times:
