Yeah, I ruffled some feathers with my last post… namely my father’s. He was very very very angry that I would engage in something so very blasphemous. I tried to explain my motive…I wanted to share something weird and kinda funny. He told me what I am doing is shameful and I am fooling myself. I don’t know who is right. Am I doing something terribly wrong? Or is it really just silly? I can’t seem to get upset about it. My own personal Jesus doesn’t have a problem with it. People are different, especially regarding faith. If I offended you, please know I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or denigrate your Lord.
Elvis & Jesus
I started up a new blog. It’s on Tumblr. It’s weird sh*t.
I’ve been collecting photos, books, albums, etc… that pair together Elvis and Jesus for quite sometime. I don’t have any anti-Jesus, anti-Christianity motive. I simply find it a fascinating juxtaposition. My favorite images are the ones that are truly genuine. The person who created it wasn’t trying to be rude or sacrilegious. They just wanted to combine two of their loves… I guess. I dunno.
That’s it. Click the link if you dare.
Eine Kleine Vacation
Pookie Bear has a trade show in Atlantic City later this week and I am tagging along to spend time in the pool and spa. We will probably also eat massive amounts of White House Hoagies. I can hardly wait. Really. I need to get the hell out of Dodge. It’s just an overnight trip but it will do me good. White House Hoagies and an inside pool. Yeah. Yeah. YEAH! I need this!
A tip from me to you…
A couple days ago, a craft/home design blogger I follow, gave a tip that got tons of attention and kudos. The tip was instead of leaving your cell phones charging in the kitchen exposed to all eyes, buy an Orla Kiely cookie jar from Target and store your cell phone chargers in it when unused. People LOVED this tip. It just seems so silly to me.
So here’s my tip. When opening up a can of Hungry Man Clam Chowder Soup for lunch, and knowing that a serving size is only 1, pour half into a second bowl, cover it with saran wrap and place immediately into the refrigerator. This way, tomorrow, all you have to do is pop it into the microwave and you have an even easier lunch!!!
Got another scarf
On Saturday I went to see Rockin’ Ron Cade’s Elvis and Friends Concert…. as a guest of Rockin’ Ron Cade himself! Yes, he sent me two tickets free of charge. I am hoping his sudden kindness isn’t associated with that blackout I suffered a few weeks ago. TEASING! I am just his biggest fan on Facebook and I think it was his way of getting rid of two unsold tickets.
It was a fun show and I enjoyed myself. Most of my fun came from playing with the lady sitting next to me. Before the show began, she announced she was the biggest Elvis fan ever and said, “I hope you aren’t easily embarrassed! I will very likely remove my panties and throw them at Sammy J!” Despite her boast, she was well-behaved but she got my inner schweinehund going! When I got a scarf, I leaned over to her and told her it was my 100th scarf! Later she asked me, “What do you think he looks like without the wig and sideburns? You think he’s bald?”
“Undoubtedly, it’s been my experience that it’s always disappointing seeing Elvis Stylists without their jumpsuits on.”
I can’t quite remember everything I said. I know I mentioned an Elvis Shrine in my living room and something about once seeing the transmogrification of the spirit of Elvis before my very eyes during a concert in Memphis. By the end of the night she told me that I was definitely the bigger Elvis fan.
Here’s the video I took of the evening:
A Slight Twist to an Old Theme
I’ve been contemplating it for quite sometime. Upgrading Thesis and tweaking the look of this here site. Since all I do anymore is design Websites and dwell on other such Web-related projects, I haven’t quite felt overly compelled to do it.
Today was different. I figured it was time. And so if you are reading donnaville on a rss reader, you may want to click on over to see the changes. New header…. although I did it YEARS ago and never used it, new fonts, new navigation bar, and I renamed the titles over on the sidebar. Figured maybe it was about time to really tout the age of this site. Can you believe I’ve been doing this since 1996!?! My first Website (care of Geocities) went up the winter of 1996, blogging commenced 1999 and I got my own domain in 2001. 
And if we really want to get technical, there was a Donna Warrior Princess Web site that Audra’s old old old ex-boyfriend put up for me in 1994, I think. Yeah. Donna Warrior Princess. Guess what that Website was about… I think I might have it saved on a floppy disk somewhere…. maybe.
I also filled up the image rotator with more pix of Bo.
Did not poop in any car…..
Sat at a bar for 2 hours and not once did the bartender ask me if I wanted anything to eat…. and I really did. Eventually I came home and heated up chicken tenders instead. At any rate, at the bar, a man sat next to me and whispered. I kept asking him to speak up. Nope. He asked me about my finances and kept saying things about interest rates and points and tax brackets and percentage and other things that I simply couldn’t make out from the din. Finally I tired of asking him to repeat himself so I finally just smiled and said, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
Nope!
“What kind of a business person are youlsdkjflsdkjflsd lkj, Don’t you lkdjfslkdjf lsklskjfslkjflskjfsldkfj”
Whatever… I simply don’t care anymore.
I really wish I wasn’t out of Three Buck Chuck.
Tomorrow’s going to be a full day. I am not looking forward to it.
This weekend I get to see an Elvis Stylist perform. I got free tickets from my favorite DJ! Can hardly wait!
Pooped Out
Went to the Philly Car Show today. Sat in a bunch of cars and made zooming noises as I pretended to steer. It wasn’t that long ago that I refused to take time off from work to do fun things. And believe me it would have been very easy for me to stay home and work on all my projects. I am glad I went. It’s good to get out. It creates memories.
Tomorrow is supposed to be scary icy. My one meeting already cancelled. I have another meeting that we’ve decided to play by ear.
Weird Stuff
I stopped paying attention to donnaville traffic quite sometime ago… Google Analytics tracks it but I ignore it. Until tonight. Figured I’d give it a look.
This is really weird but 23 people have searched for the phrase:
girl scout cookies liquor store donnaville
What the heck?! 23 people! That’s insane! Do you think they are specifically looking for my entry about buying girl scout cookies in front of a liquor store? It’s just so odd.
The entry came from back when I was on eHarmony, tired of answering the same silly questions over and over again. Clearly, I am the reason tons of people answer Rampage Tokyo.
Sorry.
Mr T ate my balls
Finally watched the A-Team movie. Guess what?!? It was really stupid. Bad stupid. Ridiculous and stupid. Made me long for the days of the real A-Team.
These movies with their quick cuts are hard for me to watch. I must have turned to Pookie Bear ten times to say, “I think they are all dead, the movie is over.”
Nope, they somehow lived.
Liam Neeson’s American accent was atrocious. He sounded like the guy who plays the husband on the show Medium. He was not on the jazz.
