Drunks Are Cute and Classy


Is that a plastic wide-mouthed bottle of Miller Genuine Draft that was free because the drunk Yank sitting behind you dropped it under your seat?

Don't mind if I do!

Ambrosia! I avoided the stuff in college, but since it's in a plastic wide-mouthed party bottle, well?


Official Plastic Wide-Mouthed Bottled Swill of Yankee Stadium.

In the Spirit of Where's Waldo, you'll see that I don't let go of this bottle the entire night.











Here I am harrassing stupid Yankee fans with my MGD in hand.

Was I out numbered? Maybe.

Was I crazy? Maybe.

Was better than everyone else? MGD says YES!








Wait, is that a picture of my Red Sox rally cap, the inside of my nose, the bird, and my handler?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes!


But what else?

That's right! I see me some wide-mouthed bottle action, don't you? Of course you do.





What's this? Let's see, everyone in the park has gone home, but I'll make time for a photo op with some random Yankee fan's Dad.

Who doesn't want their picture taken with a Red Sox ho and her what?

That's right, her trusty bottle of MGD!

Exotic.






And here I am looking at how great the photo came out of me and other people's people!


"How's it look? Awesome. Great, nice picture of me with your Dad, don't you think? Great. I'll never see you or your Dad again. Bye. I'm thirsty."

Way to involve yourself, Anne!

Whoa, I've got a strangle hold on the MGD.

Beautiful form!




Then the plastic bottle and I must have broken up, because it wasn't in bed with me this morning.


The End



Or is it?

If You Wake Up

Yeah, so if you wake up and someone standing over you, and he appears to be that very same stranger you keep bumping into, it's safe to say you're being stalked.

No She Didn't


My friend had a gorgeous, good lookin' apple on her desk, and I told her so. Then she offered it to me.

Why?

"I'm too lazy to eat apples."

She will only drink her apples. Apple eating is for peasants.

That Cake Sucks

And so do those cookies and that pie. The desserts that rotate inside that dessert rotator case at the diner are always terrible. Like going above and beyond the line of terrible terrible. Even the hair pie is inedible.

Just how do they do it?

Don't Jump! He's Not Dead!

Again, folks, bringing you up-to-the-second news that you need to know. Except traffic and weather and all that crap.

Stupid Yankee Game, Stupid Yankee Fans



And you thought I made up the term "Stupid Yankee Fan"* -- well, clearly I didn't. Ok, maybe I did, but isn't it ironic that I met him last night? I was so excited that I had to get my picture taken with him and flip him off. Notice my rally cap which was useless. I had to wear it the entire game, which meant that SYF (whom I had the pleasure of sitting in front of) had a blast constantly ripping it off of my head.

You don't fuck with someone's hat!

Why don't you just throw sand in my face?

Dipshit.



*Disclaimer: SYF was actually a very nice guy. He just fucked with my hat too much because we weren't in a sand box and there was no sand to throw. There was too much beer, and I'm sure that was a factor. I forgive you, Very Nice Guy. So please don't kill me. I mean, like literally, really kill me. That'd be awkward. Oh, and a total nightmare. So, I'd really appreciate it if you chose not to kill me, but instead would just enjoy this post as a piece of entertainment, which is what it is. So, thanks again for not killing me. We're cool now, right? Ok, great. Thanks. Bye.

PS Please don't forget not to kill me.

How to Remove Old Lady Smell

Close the door to your office.

Yeah, I have an office, so what? Sure, I share it with some cleaning supplies and I sit on an old mop bucket, so what?

The old lady smell is on the other side of this here door. So now I can eat lunch, and then I read the following headline

Baby's Third Arm Removed

Can a girl catch a fucking break?

Eau de Old Lady

If I make it to be an old lady, is it my unavoidable destiny to buy and wear disgusting old lady perfume or does the stuff just start to seep out of your pores?

We've got two old ladies in the office today helping us, and well, I was just beginning to love my nose hairs until they were seared off.

Punching old ladies isn't nice, right?

Have I Told You Lately How Much I Love Meetings?


I can't get enough of meetings. Which is perfect because in Coporate Land, there is no shortage of meetings! Meetings meetings meetings---LOVE 'EM! And what's better than meetings?

Meeting about meetings! I have one of those this afternoon. Which means only one thing:

AWESOME!



I may go topless.

I have a history of not behaving myself in meetings. I'll blog about that later.

Titanic


Ok, alright. The Sox/Yanks game did not go exactly as planned. The score: Yankees 59 and Red Sox 2.

A few things that didn't work:

  1. I didn't meet anyone in Steerage Class worth banging on the Yankee Clipper. So, you know, the boat didn't sink, and I didn't throw the necklace and have a big chase scene and whatnot.
  2. Derek Jeter didn't play. So, no hot ass. There was gross ass(Giambi played) but none hot.
  3. Big Papi couldn't get things going.
  4. Beckett COLLAPSED.

A few things that worked:

  1. I had a Red Sox fan take my extra ticket so I didn't endure this alone
  2. I drank 50,000 beers
  3. The boat was awesome even though we didn't hit an iceberg
  4. I was flanked by a Philly fan and a Mets fan
  5. I started chanting "Boston Sucks" with everyone and that took the sting out
  6. I don't remember anything after the third inning.

I'll be watching this next one on television.

Who's What?

Who's going to the game tonite?

Oh, that's right, I am.

But don't feel too bad about it, because I paid like 7 thousand billion dollars for the tickets, and no doubt my seat will be shit. It's Yankee Stadium, afterall. Home of the Dicks.

There will be one clever thing on the Things Anne Has Not Done Before List, which is we're taking a friggin' boat to the park instead of the subway. A cruise. To the Bronx! And I'm going to fall in love with some other Red Sox fan from steerage class and we're gonna make out and stuff and, then it gets tragic because we hit an iceberg so I'm going to fling my necklace off the ship and not get into the rescue boat when he wants me to and there'll be a long chase scene avoiding the water when the ship really starts to go under. Then everybody dies but me. Oh, and the Red Sox win.

BOOOOYYAAAAAAAAA!

(Though if Jeter doesn't play tonite, I'll be bummed, because his ass is the best thing about the Yankees)

Taco Bell Wants You to Remain "Eated"


Taco Bell is trying to get people jazzed up about their new "4th Meal" promotion. Not breakfast, not lunch, not dinner, but somewhere between dinner and breakfast, you are supposed to march yourself in to a Taco Bell and eat something. If you're not eating 24/7, you're not trying hard enough. Finding time for the Fourth Meal may require you to bring your crunchwrap into the loo with you, and that is gross. But so is eating this often. www.fourthmeal.com


(Liz knows all about this, please visit her regarding all things Taco Bell)

Can't Stand the Combo

Please don't say "combo" around me. Even if you think pizza and beer is "A good combo" or when you're deciding on what to get on the pizza to get you feel like saying, "Let's get a combo" or if even if you have Tourette's and you say "Shit fuck mother fucking combo combo combo fuck" or whatever.

Don't say it.

Thanks,

Bye.

Who Wants to Go Back to 1980 For a Spell?


I checked out the digital cable's 80s radio station on t.v. this afternoon while I washed my windows. Isn't it funny how a song will stop you in your tracks and transport you back? And not just generally to the year you heard it, but sometimes so specifically that you remember exactly what you were doing at that very moment it was playing? So, if I were to star in a movie based on my life, which I will, clearly, then I really already have most of the soundtrack for the early years. Welcome to the soundtrack of Two Can Anne.

The year is 1980. And the music sets the scene, I'm seeing these in a montage a la Beaches:




  1. Magic, Olivia Newton-John
    I'm in the back of a speed boat, skipping across the lake at sunset for a hot summer night at the roller rink with my cousins. No doubt someone is has a mullet*, someone is wearing short shorts**, someone is wearing tube socks***.
  2. Night Moves, Bob Seger
    I'm riding around in my Aunt Doris and Uncle Joe's customized van with groovy air-brushed designs on the side and back wheel cover. Can't remember what type animal. Maybe a wolf. A soaring eagle?
  3. Boulevard, Jackson Browne
    I'm reading The Shining on the front porch of the cabin at the lake. It's broad daylight, the music is blasting, my cousins are playing frisbee, and I'm still scared shitless.
  4. Chuck E.'s in Love, Rickie Lee Jones I'm in the kitchen watching my aunt Betsy pop a zit on my uncle Mike's shoulder. I think I remember her really throwing her body into it and saying it was a "good one."

*me

The Sofa Has Been Cleaned of Cat Hair

That's right. It's something I've been threatening to do for years. I don't want to brag, but I finished in less than 3 hours.

By licking it.

The vacuum just doesn't have sucking power that it used to. It blows. Like, it really blows. Blows dust everywhere. I'm considering throwing it away. It can have broken sex with my refrigerator at Freshkills.

In the process, I found one ballpoint pen and 35 cents.

While you ponder that, ponder this:

Genesis: Good
Phil Collins: Bad

Consider Yourself Warned

What's Happening to Me?



This is the book my mother gave me for Christmas one year, the book that I opened awkwardly in front of the whole family and then went upstairs and cried because I was humiliated as hell. Oh, and also because I didn't want to grow lady lumps and fur and all.

Amy Sedaris is brilliant in this animated short, Puberty Pals. Safe for viewing at work. That is if cartoon cock and balls and tits and twats isn't a problem. Oh, and ass.

Wicked good.

Sure, I Work Out

Many of you know that I am an accomplished athlete. I don't train as much as I used to, but I like to ski and play basketball any opportunity I can get.

A few weeks ago, I was home to visit family and I had a chance to do both in the same evening at Salem Willows. Clutch, because I hadn't worked out in 12 hours and was getting excerise induced-anxiety, a feeling of withdrawal of which athletes of my caliber often suffer.

Anway, here's a picture of me kicking Whipcreamy's ass on the slopes:

I'm the one on the left, totally kicking ass. Look at that form.



And here's me kicking her boyfriend's ass at hoops:

Posting up, getting around picks, nailing every shot-- and wearing my purse



Clearly, when it comes to sports, I'm as competitive as they get. I wanted to play hockey too, but they were wiped out. Lame, cause I had a few more quarters, and I totally would have kicked ass. It should be no surprise to anyone that Lance Armstrong and I are quite close.

So what, he's got a uni-nut, I still think he's a pussy on those hills.

Ode To My Refrigerator

Oh, refrigerator
Why must it be?
You know I have no money
To replace thee!

The people upstairs owe me 4 thousand bucks,
They flooded my house and it really sucks.

It's water you leak,
So it's more money I seek,

To break on me now is just cruel!

p.s. Fuck you, refrigerator

The WHO and The Bird Flu


Does anybody else have to remind themselves whenever they read about the WHO and their reports on the Avian Bird Flu that it's not actually Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey but a totally different WHO (as in the World Health Organization)?

Oh. Just me?

Alright, well, we have one of those little televisions in the elevator at work that flashes stupid fun facts to distract you from the morning breath of fellow riders, and everytime I see an Avian Bird Flu Fun Fact I'm picturing Pete and Roger in lab coats and surgical masks, snapping chicken necks and all the while rockin' your fucking ass off.

You better you better you bet

You better bet your life

'Cause love will cut you

Just like a knife

That's Fucked Up and/or I'm Out of Milk




Why is it that in the past few days everytime that I've gotten the hunger for a little bowl of cereal* have I've envisioned it to be Corn Pops until I poured myself a bowl and it wasn't?

Because it's always Apple Jacks?

Lord knows you're gonna tire of the 40% MORE KONG SIZE 24 OZ. APPLE JACKS before you tire of the Corn Pops? Come on! I know that! Why'd I Buy'd It? I don't know!

Your theories are welcome.

*I'm totally cereal about this so don't fuck with me.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love Willie Nelson?


I didn't think so.

I love Willie Nelson. And you should too. As early as the 1970s, my Daddy introduced me to Sir Nelson, (I'm so not friggin' worthy but in a genuine way I totally am) and just in case you didn't know, Willie is hot, and so cool, that you won't even fucking believe it, and if you're not a tool you will actually explode or implode (depending)upon knowledge of him, and either way you have no control and will totally succumb to the beautiful magic that is Willie Fucking Nelson. If you're not a total fucking tool, that is, you will.

You may or not know that Whipcreamy and I accidentally drove through Willie's home town of Abbott Texas, and I got a response to the fan letter I sent to Willie about the the trip. Just so you know, the Willie Nelson Fan Club President even said,"I passed your letter onto Willie; he'll love it!" So there's that.

Of course she'll pass it on. And course he'll love it. He's Willie fucking Nelson for cryin' out loud.


Ain't It Funny... How Time Just Slips Away?

I love you, Willie!

What's Wrong

What's wrong with punching in a random number and texting a total stranger:

"I'M AWESOME!"


The answer? Anyone, Bueller?



Absolutely fucking nothing is wrong with it, of course!



Unless you don't want to be attacked and stuff. I mean, sure, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but is it worth it in the end?

You'll never know it until you do, I guess. Or not.

Anne Doesn't Suck. Or Does She?

I'm feeling kind of down tonight, but things aren't all bad for me. For example, if you happened to Google Moby Sucks, you get a lot of hits. Like, at least 83,600 some odd style shit and it's growing by the second, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you. I'm not that kind of person.

The good news? No hits, no activity, and little or no direct entries for Anne Sucks. Could it mean that Anne isn't popular enough to suck? Totally. However, what did pop up on a Google search of Anne Sucks?











Anne, YOU?
















this. ???











Not sure if this is a good thing, but it is what it is.

Fame's a bitch!



Boooooooooyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Where's my Oscar Goody Bag???????????












I worked for my ass off for that shit for Chrissakes!!!











Animals?


Good God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 10 p.m., Do You Know Where You Are?


Of course you do! Because you're reading my blog, you jackass!

What the hell are you doing at home on a Friday fucking night? It's Friday night for cryin' out loud! Only Anne has nothing better to do but laundry, choosing clothing to donate to Goodwill and yelling at the cat! Alright, a huge part of me would be psyched if you were reading my blog, even if you could be dancing and drinking and being seen at NYC's hot new club Log* or whatever place is hip this week. But that's only because I'm selfish and terrible. I never said I wasn't. You were just fooled into liking me because of my amiable nature, my new-one-ripping-hilarity, and last but not least, my cherubic girlish/boyish good looks. But, in your defense, you're fucked up. You don't know why these things attract you, but they do, and it is a constant source of conflict. Just ask my almost-Anne-thew. He knows all about it; all about half of pain.

Anyway, leave the house at once! Grow up for fuck's sake and get out there amongst 'em! Get laid and whatnot while you still have the chance! You can always get a cat. Please, they're givin' 'em away, remember?

And you smug marrieds and smug "in-a-relationship" peeps? I don't care what you're doing tonight. You can fuck off.

But you knew that.

You know I love you.

In a way.

xo,

Anne


*Ok, so there's no club called Log. But I bet if it were new and cool, Paris would be there and then everybody would too, no matter how much Paris pisses in the banquettes while she's sharing a bottle or whatever the name of the joint is. Look, I can be your man on the scene and do real research, but that's going to require going out of my way, and that's going to require cash. So, that's the deal. Decide amongst yourselves what kind of resource Two Can Anne is for you, and go from there. Thanks. Bye.

PS Love you!

PPS In a way.

PPS But you knew that.

Dammit, I Knew He Liked Boys

I've never been one of those gals to go out with a guy only to find out years later that he's gay. So that's good. Some girls do it repeatedly and 'tis sad. And weird. I mean, it could be coincidence, but if a girl's developing a pattern, she might want to ask herself a few questions, you know? Anyway, my point: I called it first!


Read and digest.


Just in case you didn't believe me and would wager a $20 bet on this and lose, or you need to be reminded that I'm totally excellent at stuff sometimes and this is just one tiny example, please, be my guest.


Sigh.


Another one officially dropped from Anne's Eligible Roster. He's hot! Boo! I don't want him on the other team. But Perez Hilton is as gay as all get out, and the gays know these things about other gays who are "hiding". They know. I don't know how they do it, but they can read the signals and they recognize their own. And Perez saw Matthew doing a gay thing, despite his incredible Meisner technique, perhaps it was a yellow silk scarf or whatever, a glance, a gait, a blah blah blah. Or he knows Matthew's secret peeps on the Fire Island.

At any rate, if Matthew likes the dudes, it's too bad that people can't know that he's a dude lover. I mean, if you love dudes like I do, you just want to love them without people getting in your grill about it. We're here, we're queer, get used to it. Didn't anybody see Rosie O'Donnell's "Cruise Ship O' Queers" documentary where she packs a ship of gay families and sails around the world and I bawled my fucking eyes out because our current administration doesn't think that good parents who have kids (who often adopt unwanted, fucked up kind of kids, to boot) aren't proper families?

Now in all honesty, don't get me wrong, I'd personally shoot myself if I were on that cruise. Shoot myself dead, like no-doubt dead, and it'd be a scandal. But I wouldn't do it because everyone was homosexual, I'd do it because of those kids who were all over the fucking place with their whining and their sticky pancake syrup hands which touch everything.

Oh, but why can't people just be themselves for fuck's sake???

(Song break):

I've gotta be me......I've gotta be me....

Anyway, I should most likely thank Perez. He just may have prevented me from making a really big mistake, the best mistake of my "career". I mean, of course, Matthew isn't here to defend himself, but let's hypothesize for fun time's sake:

Matthew and I were seriously weeks away from being the next Hollywood It Couple:



Anne-thew



Because after a few weeks of very educated and sophisticated stalking, a "chance" meeting would occur in which Matthew would actually believe that he had discovered me, I play a brief 8 minute game of hard-to-get, he begs me to smoke a joint back at his AirStream trailer to play bongos, I relent, and then we're a couple for approximately 7 months before we both need the dick so bad we break up.

No straight guy is ever that hot. Knew it was too good to be true. I called that shit, bitches. I done did.

Oh, 'tis a burden to be right all the time, you'd think you'd feel great, but it's actually a burden to be brilliant. I think sometimes a little ignorance is a little bliss. But I wouldn't really know. So admittedly, I'm a little down right now. This really sucks for me because honestly? I was getting kind of psyched about the whole idea, you know? But seriously,I mean, his initials are double M, and mine are double A, ok? And he likes bongos, I like bongos, and he likes grass, I like grass? What are the odds? And come on, he's hot, and I'm relatively attractive in comparison...you know, all that jazz, we have it in common.

It's About Damn Time


Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz are BASTA, FINITO, OVER. Apparently due to busy work schedules. My ass. They broke up for only two reasons
  1. They don't have a damn thing in common
  2. He doesn't like ladies

I refuse to believe that #2 is the case even though I have heard the rumor before. And we all know, she's got no problem being a beard for a gay man from time to time.

The sexiest man alive needs to make my acquaintance already! What, I got to do all the work? Time to send him some undergarments in the mail. It worked for the broad whom Luke Perry married and then divorced, didn't it? Yes, it did.

So I used to think he was cute. Fuck off. (Insert 90210 theme song here) BBBAAA BBBAAA BA BA ....DAA DAA DAAAA....

From This Day Forward


I am going to take my commitment to Lotto more seriously. I'm a half-assed player, I don't practice, I don't concentrate enough on picking numbers, I am not consistent with my ticket buying.

If I am not in it, I cannot win it.

Otto's Shrunken Head, NYC, 8 pm

9:01 p.m.? Yeah, It's Me Calling

'Tis I, your friend who cannot afford to use daytime minutes and would use her free digital home phone, but that's not an option because Time Warner Cable bites. I wonder if I signed onto some contract for shitty service for life. Probably.

Life is annoying. Mom always said it sucked but she never mentioned annoying. Guess it falls under the Life Sucks umbrella, or genus, if you will.

He Needs Me He Needs Me He Needs Meeeee

The idea of Fleet Week is tantalizing and exciting for sure. Hot sex and land-starved sailors flooding our shores for a few short days...






Hot Sailor, 5/25/2006

At the insistence of one of your friends who is a boy who likes boys, you make a sailor's acquaintance (via the "My friend thinks you're cute!" route a la 6th Grade) who has a wispy little mustache and you get your picture taken with him...


It's a romantic notion and all, but the reality is quite different, at least it was in my case. This looks like a lovely photo at a glance. However, I've edited it because of my vanity. And because I love you, dear readers, and nobody can bust my balls better than I can bust them, here is what the full-on, unedited photo with the sailor looks like.

Prepare yourselves, as it's so totally and completely awkward, you might suck some air through your teeth and go "Oohhh, yeah, awkward" out loud and feel a little sorry for me. Go ahead, I don't mind.


I'm serious.





Features worth dissecting:

  1. My body language. Sailor grabbing tight, prepared to defend our country on a moment's notice and I'm all "BOYS HAVE COOTIES!"
  2. Unflattering shot of my arm which sent me directly to the gym this morning. Who wants a bite of that arm? Feeds 4. Note to self: That shirt gets the back 9.
  3. Let's talk about the uncomfortable smile. I see my mother's face.
  4. What's that dangling from my right hip? That's my work I.D., folks, which reveals my obvious and unshakeable commitment to my temp job. Without it, I have no identity.
  5. Baseball on the t.v. which helped break the ice when I asked the sailor, "Do you like baseball?" I think he replied "I like pizza and you smell good" but I can't be sure, it all happened so fast.

Discuss.

Just Because



I have heartburn. I blame the banana bread. If the bird I'm flipping in this picture looks fat, it's because it is. I jammed it playing hoops in high school. That's right, I played hoops. Respect!

The Man Behind the Yellow Rubber Bracelet


An independent investigation has cleared Lance Armstrong of doping.

No word on whether he'll also be cleared of charges that he's a tool. It's doubtful.

You Say Phitness, I Say Phooey

Surprisingly, my Anti-Fitness Campaign hasn't taken off like I thought it would. I'm finding that it's not as fun to be a lone crusader. In the spirit of not being able to beat the people so join the people, I decided to check out Ye Olde Gymme this morning. I have an exclusive membership where I pay monthly for the privilege of not going. The good news: it is still there. Though it has changed names since I was there last. In October. Everything changes so fast.

Quiz:

How long into my 30 minute workout on the elliptical machine did it take for me to look at the clock?

a) 2 seconds










b) 4 minutes








c) 50 seconds










d) 11 minutes





















The answer is:
















c) 50 seconds











And I was floored that I had 29 minutes and ten seconds more to go! Hated every second of it! Every second! Consistent. That's me.

SideKick in Your Ass

Newbluebaby sent me this story about a stolen T-Mobile Sidekick . It was left in a cab by a guy's girlfriend. Then the Sidekick went on a journey to Corona Queens with it's new "owner" who started taking all sorts of pictures with it of her family and her ass and stuff and then she was busted by the girl's boyfriend who tracked her down thanks to T-Mobile wireless technology.

Everyone's so technologically obsessed these days, you sort of can't blame the thief for being psyched to take pictures of her family and her ass and stuff with her new T-Mobile Sidekick and flashing it around and being seen with it. You don't see a celebrity ever without their trusty Sidekick at their side, blabbing away or texting away with ferocity. It's obnoxious. No offense to the T-Mobile Sidekick obsessed, but I wouldn't be bummed to know that one of the side-effects they discover down the line is that you grow uncontrollable ear and finger hair or whatnot and it cannot be cured. Be in the moment, already, and not always communicating with where you aren't.

People who don't return crap they find are jerks. Granted, if there's no way of knowing who the person is, that's one thing (like my iPod, ahem), but I always return things to their owners. I found two cell phones and 2 work ID's this winter and returned all four to their rightful owners.

None of those a-holes thanked me with a ten spot or a fin or even a lousy note, but whatevs.

The point of this story? People are a-holes.

Awkard Outing Forced as a Result of Poor Choice of Costume at the Halloween Party


Dr. Harry Fingerman Proctologist - SORRY SOLD OUT
Dr. Harry Fingerman Proctologist - Costume Includes: White Poly-Cotton lab coat with two pockets and the Doctor's funny name imprinted. Simply add your own rubber gloves and the look is complete. One size fits most. Machine washable. MOR - GC7208
Price: $22.95
Order Here!

You gotta love these clever novelty costumes! And you ordered yours in August, so it'd be here in time for Halloween, thinkin' "I'm gonna have the BEST costume!" And here's what probably happened. you introduced yourself as the full costume character, Dr. Harry Fingerman Proctologist, and for those who were too drunk to get the reference and just said, "Hey, Jimmy! What are you supposed to be, a doctor?" You'd were like, "Yes, but..."And you explained by snapping the rubber on your gloved fingertips and saying with an evil grin that you're not just a doctor, but the kind that has his hands up the ass all the time, which would imply that not only do you love your job because you're saving lives, but because you're saving lives and also getting to stick your hand up butt holes because you equally love that.

And it's be awkward when you blurt out "I'm a Proctologist!" for the obvious reasons, and then of course for the added reason that it's always a buzzkill to have to explain your Halloween costume and all. I know this trouble all to well. My dear friend Liz (Expert on Taco Bell and Grey's Anatomy) dressed as a Deviled Egg this Halloween and was mistook for an Abortion. That certainly drove the vibe of the evening, with Liz screaming, "It's not blood, it's paprika!" and "If I were an abortion, I would have done a better job!"

"Yeah, bitches, with plastic baby dolls and ketchup!" I'd add.

Totally unecessary.

*This shit is sold out, yo!

Triple Play Package My Ass

The one thing they don't tell you about this Time Warner Cable Triple Play Package is that it's actually the Time Warner Cable Quadruple Play Package 'cause you not only get your digital phone, digital internet and digital cable but you're on the horn with Time Warner Customer Service so much that you want to shoot yourself in the fucking face! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So far only 1/3 of the Triple Play Package is working, and that is this here internet on which I am communicating with you now. Far be it from me to communicate with you via digital telephone, because well, that shit ain't working, I just like to pay for the idea. Awesome considering that they cancelled my regular phone service in great anticipation of the Digital Revolution over a week ago. I'm not even a phone person and I must declare, this shit is totally annoying! He goes, "Are you calling from your home phone?" Jackass, I just told you that it doesn't work. How would I call you from it? And that HBO On Demand? Lies. I've got a couple of service technicians coming over to my house next week to prove it.

Sigh.

All this because I need to have my Robin Byrd.

Another Exhilarating Close Call With the Shitcan


I generate a lot of form letters at my job in which copying and pasting really saves me a lot of time. Reminder to those who abuse this clever lil' feature like I do, always remember to proof your work before sending something in which you've copied and pasted. Had I not checked my reply, someone was going to be very confused and someone else was going to be very unemployed.


"Thank you for your RSVP. We look forward to seeing you at the reception on June 1."


Disaster averted just in time. Phew! Exhilarating!


(Sue me, I didn't know what it meant, so I had to look it up. I think that makes me a lady. A stupid lady.)

I'm That Broad

Oh no no no no no no no that's not me, is it, listening to Lite FM at work?


Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes it 'tis!


"Sending you forget-me-nots...to help me to remember..." which runs right into
"One Love...One Heart...Let's Get Together and Feel Alright..."

And suddenly the flourescence doesn't seem to bright. Alright, that's a lie, but I was hoping the tunes might take my mind off of my crushing debt and bleak future.

Will advise!

"Everday is a winding road..."

Another Annoying Turn of Phrase

"Everything happens for a reason."

Sure, things happen for reasons. And sometimes they seem unreasonable, so let's take reason out of the equation. It's called "Cause" and "Effect".

You didn't get fired from your job because you were too comfortable and needed a nudge into greener pastures. You were fired because you had a terrible attitude and were caught stealing office supplies.

"Cause and effect."

Where Will You Summer This Year?

Cabo is so 2004. The South of France is so French. This year, I'm staying put, and summer's comin' to me, as I've got myself a Full-share-- in my apartment. Windows will be wide open to take advantage of that cool breeze off the Lexington Avenue buses, and there'll be plenty of showering in ye olde bathingsuit and sipping cocktails in the kitchen, watching the world go by. You should all seriously consider coming over for Labor Day, I'm having a BBQ compliments of the Hot Diggity Dogger. Toasts the buns too, bitches!


Meet My New Man


His pose is natural 'cause he's in nature! Naturally, it's not his natural habitat or he wouldn't be sporting the Polo his wife got for a song at TJ Maxx (along with a great set of sheets, I might add) before they were separated. Anyway, we're doing the long distance thing (he's outside of Philly and we meet in the Poconos at that Mount Airy Lodge place) until things are finalized with the divorce and we decide where Ashleigh and Brianna will attend school in the fall. Thank you, eHarmony!

* This is an actual photo of an actual fella from philly who is separated w/ two kids and is interested in making my acquaintance. He is not aware that I am a huge bitch.

The Collyer Brothers of Harlem

Alright, it's probably something I should work out with my therapist, but Two Can Anne's got a hoarding problem. There. I said it. Maybe the first step is in admission, and AA's got something goin for it other than having the same initials as yours truly. Ok, look--I keep stuff. And by keeping stuff, I mean, I rarely throw it out. I pitch a lot, but not enough. Schoolwork from first grade? Got it. Will be valuable one day.

But here's the thing, I just looked for something that I can't find and in the meantime realized how much stuff I don't need to have, but have a hard time throwing out! I can't put Snoopy in the garbage? I know he's only a Christmas ornament free with a box of chocolates you got at last year's Secret Santa, but what if he starves? I know he's plastic, but he's a dog. With a face. You can't throw something with a face away! It looks at you! So I sit with this ornament I don't need, nor want, yet I can't dump without massive guilt, and it is killing me. Anyone want a free plastic Snoopy Christmas tree ornament? TAKE IT, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so here's what I'm afraid of, plus 60 cats or so. You do the math. I smell pee.

Oh, my future was supposed to be better!

Boooo!

A Revelation on My Impeccable Manners

Don't feel so special the next time I hold a door for you. I realized today that I do that and other sorts of nice stuff for people for only two reasons:
  1. I simply can't help the behavior; it was severely beaten into me by good parenting.
  2. It is a total setup to see if you will reciprocate with a "Thank you." If you don't thank me in time, I will let it slam in your face if possible. And, of course, talk shit about you the rest of the day, you know, about what a bitch you are with no manners. Then I'll tell myself that I won't hold the door for you ever again. Until I do. Lather, rinse, repeat.

You're Never Too Old For...


Good grief.

Get Bent on Fire Island

A Memorial Day Weekend Quite Memorable


Anne and Dave, The Pines, Fire Island, NY ~ May 28, 2006


I awoke at 3 this morning with food poisoning. AWESOME! Must have been some bad cock in Fire Island. I jest. The cock was fine, the burger was not. Yesterday my friends and I spent a glorious day at the beach, swimming, sunning, laughing, and most importantly, making fun of people. The Pines beach on Fire Island is the prettiest place to watch the prettiest boys stroll by. And of course, some not so pretty. My friends are picky, as am I, and we tend to have the same taste in men, a man's man. "No 90 lb Weakling Redheads with Hamster Hands Need Apply" is my credo. Theirs is "No fats, No fems, No Asians".
It's hard to say why people make the choices in swimwear that they do. I mean, I'm willing to admit that at this apex of my non-fitness career study, I've on several occasions looked better in my swimsuit. However, I'm sure there have been times when I've looked worse. The key here is to fool the eye and accentuate the positives by wearing something that flatters what you've still got goin' on. The people don't need to know you're a lazy bitch and you've got cottage cheese thighs? In other words: if you have a wide skinny ass and no junk, you do not need to be wearing that baggy speedo. You tried, but you chose wrong. It's times like these that you need good friends and family who aren't afraid to hurt you in order to help you.

I'm not sure which was more fun, scoping out the hot ones or ragging on the terrible ones. Ok, no doubt, the latter was more fun for me. After awhile, a straight broad's gonna get bored with that kind of cock n' balls show, and at some point we're going to want a little unwanted attention, for someone to stare at us like a hot piece of ass, look at our tits, instead as a fag hag cock blockers we are. Unless of course, you're a 300 lb fag hag with no self-esteem who has given up hope of ever finding a man, but that's another story. Anway, we had a blast, high up on our beach towels, behind our sunglasses and hats, ripping them to shreds.

"Some people are too comfortable with themselves," Tuna said. "Sure, it's all great that we've learned to love ourselves despite our imperfections, but it's just gone too far."

"It's all about realizing when to settle," Dave said. "That couple knew it a long time ago."

I always forget that gays come in all the horrible shapes and sizes that the straights do, which is a shame really. Life can be so cruel. After a few good hours we took our Male Critique Roadshow on shore and to the outside bar for a few more brews, boy spectating, and dinner. And dinner is where unbeknownst to me, the trouble started.

All I will say about food poisoning is that your body says "Evacuate!" and it means business, and business means, you sleep in the bathroom because you are exploding from north to south.

Then I awoke from my business to hear Bush on the radio for his Memorial Day speech and the Iraq war and the soldiers who have given their lives and then works 9/11 into it somehow, you know, because Saddam Hussein was behind the whole thing and all. Jackass! He's using liberally enough that I have decided that the next time I am spoken to at work about my chronic 15-minute tardiness I will reply simply "9/11. " And they will pardon me because that is the American thing to do.

Ok, so, I slept on the tile floor, and Doodle was at first interested with my choice of bed chamber and then almost immediately as annoyed that I was sick as a dog and not paying her any mind, and not happy with Fancy Feast's Fish Medley. Sure, it looked gross, but that's exactly why I thought she'd like it. Whatever. So anyway, she thought she'd busy herself with a little creative and persistent door opening, and a little piss festival on the runner in the hallway that has been a bone of contention in this household for three years now. Ha Ha! AWESOME!

Then today got still more interesting when I was forced into a gauche shouting match over the phone with my upstairs neighbor about some money* he owes me for his kid leaving the water on and ruining my apartment. Who doesn't love a shouting match when one was just hours earlier pissing out her nostrils? What better time to fight than en route to her morning coffee? Just pay me the money, assshole! Your kid's retarded and he fucked up. Now pay up.

Top all that shit off with a refrigerator that is leaking and me dealing with thousands of paper towels and rubber gloves and a bucket--to a cat who has disappeared down the back stairs to go hunt mice and bring them back here, and I'd say:
I will not forget this Memorial Day Weekend for quite some time, but I sincerely do hope the rest of you had a nice holiday. The weather sure was nice.

*I'll say it's some money--it's close to 4 friggin' grand! And what about the pain and suffering?

Don't Order the $12 Sandwich


It's terrible.

Fitness is Gay


Do I look good?
No.
But do I look good enough?
Yes.
And good enough is good enough for me.
Enjoy your fun run, suckers!

Truth is, I was ignoring Pansy, and Ruthe could tell I wasn't ok. That is, until Brayan saved the day.

Thank Aarrrgghh It's Friday

Ahoy, me hearties! Greetings from The Anchor Pub n' Grill in Beverly, Massachusetts where ye rascals, pirates n' whores can find the finest grub and grog 'til yer 3 sheets to the wind. Aye, yer eyes do deceive you; the name's Cap'n Pegleg, o' course, not Heather Mills, though we arrrgh distant cousins we arrrrrgghh. Aye, me new job sucks riding this wall as a mural flanked by a 50 lb mounted lobster, Budweiser signs n' Red Sox memorabilia, and me miss me parrot me do. No life fer a man o'de sea, but the wenches and yo ho ho bottles o rum n' coke be close, aye. Ahoy, salty dogs--try the haddock! And don't be spendin' all ye doubloons on ye Quick Draw. Garrrgh.

Aye, tell someone where to stick their hook Pirate style!

Jonathan Papelbon Is Not Your Friend


And he will friggin' house you. Don't be fooled by that 26 year old baby face, he is a cold-blooded snake. Totally not human. Reptilian, actually, and not to be underestimated. You've got to work your ass off to gain this dude's respect; I could see several awkward silences over a beer with a cat as serious as he. He cannot be rattled; he does not fuck around. A veritable Chucky Doll on the mound, a faint grin on his chipmunk cheeks whilst he slits your throat, remorseless. He makes you look like the baby. Even you, greasy Giambi. Who's the baby now, huh, bitch? You know that's what he's thinking. Ever see the way he powers off the field after he shuts em down 1, 2, 3? That shit will give you goose bumps. And not in the gay way. In the holy shit, that son of a bitch can pitch! way. Red Sox 4, Tampa Bay 1.

They Don't Call Me Two Can Anne For Nothin'


Let's get this party started!

(Hurry, because I'll be passed out in fifteen minutes)

See for yourself.

I Like Limes


I'm totally into citrus as a rule, but there's nothing like the refreshing taste of a lime. I squeeze a lime on everything and it makes it better*. If I were a doctor I'd say "Take two limes and call me in the morning."

And then I'd screen the call, but I do really believe in the power of limes.

*not unlike a snow machine

A Little Spittle


Last night I went to the Dave Hill Explosion at UCB to see my man Dave Hill explode all over the place. He had Malcolm Gladwell (author of Blink, The Tipping Point) and Fred Armisen from SNL and it was a good show. For me, the best part of the night was Dave's new snow machine.
Especially when he shot the snow at all the UCB groupies who were sitting on the floor at the edge of the stage. Take that, indian-style sitters!

The worst part of the night for me was backstage. That's right, people--I went backstage. Done it before, will do it again. Is it all that it's cracked up to be? You'd better believe it. All the awkward mingling of huge celebrities like myself with the lesser knowns, and the requisite entourage of hangers on--it's incredible. Anyway, I digress. Here's why it was terrible. I ran into a comic I know from "the scene". That's right, people, I said "the scene". Why? Because there is one, and I know people from it. So we're chatting, he pretends he doesn't know who I am again, like he does every time (good one! love it!), and all of a sudden a piece of spit flies out of his mouth.

Things now are in slow motion. ---Sllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwww mmmmmmooooooooooootionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn---

And I'm not listening to a thing he's saying now, I'm completely focused on the spittle and where it's going to land.

Where's it going to land?

It sure is taking a long time to land! And here I'm thinking, my cheek, maybe my shirt, maybe the floor if I'm lucky, he's so focused on himself that I'll have no trouble clandestinely wiping it off...

But it landed in neither of those three places. It landed right on my tongue.

OH MY GOD! So it just melted right there on my tongue, like a snowflake, and now I'm super grossed out and definitely totally not listening even more than before, and when he excused himself, I couldn't get to the closest bar fast enough to whet my whistle with a little disinfecting whiskey. We swapped spit, so to speak. But he only swapped with me, so it was technically not a swap, no reciprocation, and though he's not a bad looking guy and I'm no germaphobe, I can't say I was prepared for the whole experience, and it really bummed me out.

The moral of this story is: Keep your mouth closed when you're having a conversation with someone you don't know well enough to want to make out with.

Oh, and a snow machine makes everything better.
