Again with the phones!

What have I bitched about with the phones, people? You MUST tell me who you are! I do NOT pay for caller ID and I do NOT use a cell phone, as odd as that may seem. So, when you call me and start talking – I do not know who the hell you are. Sometimes I ask, sometimes I just nod and agree and get off the phone. I figure if the mystery caller had a clue, they’d tell me who the fuck they are!!

Oy, vay, I tell you cell phones have ruined any shred of civility that people had about phone etiquette. People call me quite often and just start talking. Now, if I talk to you on the phone a lot (Caroline, Heather, Russ, Emily, Nick, etc.) I’ll know who you are, but if I don’t talk to you often, I probably won’t. Sometimes I can figure it out obliquely as the person talks, but sometimes I really don’t know. And frankly, sometimes I get really annoyed and just want to hang up. I’ve got my phone call peeps and I’m good with them, but I don’t want everyone to turn into phone callers. I’d pull my hair out! As of today, I’m screening all calls. So, if you get the machine and want to talk, I’d advise announcing who you are or leaving a msg. Or better yet: EMAIL ME!

So, for all of you who are new to the Misangela Ride, be advised: don’t call me all the time and do not just start talking to me! ARGH!

I’m an emailer. I’ll email you 15x a day, but I do NOT want to sit and chat on the godsdamned phone. I just don’t. So, if you are a phone caller, get yerself an email account and start typin’ beeyoch!

I love all of you, I truly do, but the serial phone callers and just-start-talking-ers are making me CRAZY.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Misangelas for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

That is all.

Ring update

Sonya has laid claim to the size 7 Bubble Ring©. That leaves a narrower (7mm) size 6.5 ring and the amber ring “in stock”.

If you’d like a custom ring, do what I toldya in the last post.

Stormy: Clouds? Not at this time. I am, however, pondering it. :-)

Productive weekend

We are in a long weekend and I must say that it’s been very productive. We got the yard mowed Friday before all the rain – yay! We then hung out at Stormy and Jim’s place and met the herd o’ pets they have: 6 ferrets, 2 dogs and 3 (or 4) cats. Eeek! A true and mighty herd if I’ve ever seen one.

Saturday we slept in then scampered to Lowes for screening supplies and some yard stuff. We managed to get in and out before it started raining. We decided to skip the Inman Park festival even though it cleared up later in the day. We stayed up late and watched all our TiVoed sci-fi.

Yesterday we worked all day. I got most of Oracle’s site done and Nick got this week’s comic going. Today we are off to our “office” at the Vortex. We’ve got this week’s comic to finish as well as the sampler to get together for Free Comic Book day.  Yes, it’s less than a week away and we’ve not done the layout yet. We’re doing a sampler for Free Comic day and we’ll do another one for Comic-Con. Ooo, I just found out that Serena is going to be a Comic-Con!! Squeeee! We are going to have too much fun!

So, that’s the state of Casa Mizgala. Hope everyone has a great week!

Anybody use Twitter?

I found an awesome Twitter client for Mac: Twhirl. Since Twitter doesn’t work with, well, anything, I had to do updates online. Where’s the fun in that?

Twitter is just another silly little time waster, but if anyone has it, you can find me as misangela. DUH. I’d like to track others besides Wheaton.

Anyone use it?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Brick House 2003

This is a remake done by Rob Zombie for the House of 1000 Corpses soundtrack. It’s one of my most played iPod songs. Lionel Richie was on board for the remix and Trina did the rap lyric. Now, I’ve been listening to that rap for ages and there were parts I couldn’t catch, so today I endeavored to puzzle out that rap once and for all. I checked several lyric sites and they all had it wrong. I knew she was referencing Ferragamo stilettos in that line, I could clearly hear that part. The lyric sites are probably wrong because it was men doing the ‘translations’. So, after about an hour of going over the rap one line at a time, I think I have the REAL rap! Not bad for someone who’s white and nerdy… Here’s the video with the rap below.

Brickhouse 2003 rap lyric by Trina
I’m a chick from the South
built like a brick house
bad to the bone
fatty girl stalli-ON
brick house amazon
I stay fly, yo
with a body that a grown man would cry fo’
when I walk niggas whistle (video: “when I walk, make ’em whistle”)
I keep ’em hotter than a missile
when I’m doing my thizzle
36-24-36
Hands on my hips
when I walk with a switch
Gautier dress, Ferragamo stilettos
class-y, but you can tell I’m still ghetto
a ride to this, a slide to this
fit slim in the waist when I lie you back, whoa
petite but I beat to death
i’m the baddest bitch (video: chick) y’all keep the rest
Brick
House
and my walk is mean
and I stay on the scene so fresh, so clean (video: “and I step in the club so fresh, so clean”)

The record version is dirty and the live version is clean, but finally after about 6x, I got the line: Gautier dress, Ferragamo stilettos. Damn, that was HARD. The video helped with the line and it makes sense with those words, as opposed to “I’m okay as along as I got more stilettos” or “naughty custom made stilettos.” So, there ya go, the CORRECT lyric for Trina’s rap.

It’s a really great cover – one of the best evah! Enjoy!
