I really need to pay more attention to this thing...

About Me

My nickname is "Eides." As in, the (e)Ides of March. You figure it out.

Oh - and by the way - if you're trying to actually, I dunno, touch base or something, send me an email. I hate Myspace. I'm never on, I ignore comments (for the most part), and have been known to forget/miss messages for upwards of a month. Plus, I'm having a baby in, like, a day and have been permanently excused from keeping track of you. :) Kthnx!

My Interests

You.

No, really.

Well, other things count too.

But mostly You.

Creepy.

I'd like to meet:

MY SON. Get the HELL OUT OF ME.

And - uh - Katharine Hepburn. Wonder if she was actually that person? Eddie Izzard'd be kinda cool too. My husband as a young 20-something, the Artist Formerly Known As, Jane Austen (now THERE'S a snarky bitch!), my maternal grandmother, oh - so on and so on...

FWOOSH!

So what makes the day in which I find out that my employer will allow me to "choose" between keeping my job (and taking only 20 days of maternity leave) and turning in my notice with the potential of ...

And on That Note -

 - Why is it that most girls only have one face?  They have this one face, their "puttin' on the makeup" face, and that's the ONLY thing they're capable of showing the camera.  A very m...

Eggrolls Are Love

The shoot this weekend went smashingly (in that someone ACTUALLY showed up - models are SUCH flakes).  The girl was lovely, accomodating, and able to do exactly as she was asked.  Didn't eve...

Monday was FABULOUS.

My stepfather is dying and no one seems to be able to do anything but list to us over and over again the reasons why they can't do anything about it. They're refusing chemo because they're afraid (wi...

Lemme Just Say, Though -

- she mutters fervently to herself, in fear of her immortal soul - "Almost okay" and "ampler of ass" is a small price to pay for the chance to grow a whole 'nother human being.Fin.

It's Just a Kiss Away -

For some strange reason, I don't yet own Scarface. Nor, for that matter, do I own Goodfellas or Casino (on DVD - don't think I currently own a VCR, so we'll consider it unowned). Three of my favorit...

Suzy Has a Cow on her Head

I mowed the front yard today. I, in all of my five-months glory, mowed the yard. Mowed the yard with a lawnmower VERY LIKELY as old as I, with no bag, and, haha, no way for the grass to escape. It ...
