Sweet 16? I'm going with 9. Missing baby teeth, People.

It made me a little sad to watch them last night.  Wondering about what these children go through after being taken away from their parents at 3 to be groomed for the Olympics.

If Mini Chewbaca doesn't stop staring at me while I work, I am going to skin him and make him into a new pillow for this chair.

Happy Hump Day, from Little Miss A, who just thinks we all should be playing in her back yard with her right now.

I think this is what a blow job feels like. But better.

Who just spent about a gazillion dollars she had no business spending?  I did!  I did!

Well with a more than slightly fuzzy focus, I've been banging my head against the wall over one of my Sigma lenses for the last year.  I've lost a couple of jobs over it too.  It's still up for debate whether it's me that's fuzzy or the lens.  But last week I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade.  Seriously upgrade.  Like I could be lying on the beach in Puerto Rico Hawaii right now instead of fondling this lens.

So when said lens arrived last week, I stepped outside of my usual shackles of anxiety and after only 2 days, I opened the box.  And then.  After I opened the box... yup folks, I IMMEDIATELY USED THE LENS!  And then!  I USED IT AGAIN!  I'm telling you, those thousands and thousands of dollars worth of therapy are paying off.

This kid is cute.  Right?  We get it.  She's one of the cutest kids around.  Next time we do a photo shoot I'm gonna put her in some goth make-up and ugly her up.  She's ruining my street cred.  You know, because I'm street.  And I know, there's nothing edgy about those bottles up there.  But they are just so elegant on Tricia' window sill.  Sheesh.  Stop pressuring me!  I can't help it!  These are my people.  I can't discriminate against them because they are too pretty.

We here at Magenta Sequins are learning today about basketball

Specifically, the 'small forward' position.  Thank God for Wikipedia, or else I might have to resort to talking to people to learn these things.

Some highlights about the Small Forward position:
* they are small, if you consider small to be between 6'5" and 6'10" (sheesh)
* they are often 'prolific scorers' (heh)

This image represents what they call a 'half court':

Strange graphic, no?  A little jarring even.  Anyhoo, the #3 represents the Small Forward.  At some point during the game I guess... I mean they move around the court with the ball, all those numbered people, so maybe they start there, or end there, or shoot from there? 

Oh well, my head is starting to hurt because this image really looks like the kind of effed up diagram they would show you in Catholic School 'sex ed' class.  And that little circle and line that represent the hoop I guess just looks like a cartoon nose and mouth.  So, kids, I guess Basketball Camp is done here at Magenta Sequins for the day because I can't read or write anything without it being a sexual innuendo.

Heh.

I'm a Ferrari 360 Modena!

You've got it all.  Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental.  Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

"Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Thanks CawfeeGuy for that little nugget of procrastination before I start my day.

It's sickening. You don't have to tell me.

 

Sitting on the corner eating my sandwich (who knew?) and playing Hotter Than The General. Which basically goes like this:
Are you hotter than The General? NO
How bout you? Nooooo
You? Mmmmm still no

I'm in serious trouble, people.  The kind of trouble that makes Diana spend sleepless nights with the rosary beads.

The purpose of this post is to move my ass up on CawfeeGuy's blog roll.

 

I hope you're happy, CawfeeGuy. Don't worry about me. Here. In this big city. Trying desperately to learn web design in a week.

Ode to CawfeeGuy, because he's feeling a little needy
