I am attempting to post from my phone. It might end up being fabulous. Right now, it's just weird.
Here we are at the legendary Maria's in SF.

Break Day!
Due to the fact that I'm positively drowning in editorial work today, I officially call a blog hiatus day. Hasta manana! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQB9PLb1Qdw]
Rest Day!
Due to not having a single free moment over the weekend, I'm enjoying a day off.
Evil Blogday
Forgive the limited posts today. WordPress is behaving in a rather evil manner.
Ever Wondered What Walmart in China's Like?
Yeah, me neither.
Considering how painful the American Walmart experience is, I won't be offended if you don't click here to check out Chinese Walmart. Who the hell cares about Walmart anywhere, right?
Wrong. I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't fabulous viewing material, so go ahead and click here, dahling.
Disclaimer: I call total b.s. on the Meat Water and Frog Pickles. Photoshop fail. Almost didn't even post the link due to that crap. We'll let it slide, however. The rest of the pics seem to be the real deal... or perhaps I'm a complete moron.
Blog Break Friday
Blog break day.
We'll resume our regular programming tomorrow.
'Til then, dahling!
Houston, We Have a Problem
It's National Dog Bite Prevention Week, my friends.
Par-TAY!!!! Cocktails for everyone!
To help raise dog attack awareness and promote responsible pet ownership, the U.S. Postal Service released the following stats:
Where do dogs bite letter carriers the most?
1.) Houston: 62 letter carriers attacked in 2010.
2.) Columbus, Ohio and San Diego (tie): 45 each.
3.) Los Angeles: 44
4.) Louisville: 40
5.) San Antonio, Texas and St. Louis (tie): 39 each.
6.) Cleveland and Phoenix (tie): 38 each.
7.) Minneapolis and Portland, Ore.: 35 each.
8.) Denver and Philadelphia: 31 each.
9.) Sacramento: 30
10.) Seattle: 28
No bad dogs, please. If you need good-dog inspiration, simply channel the effervescent and oh-so-stylish Mary Poppins, who received a new sailor dress yesterday.
SlutWalk is Going Global!
Remember SlutWalk, the controversial campaign sparked by a Canadian policeman's remark that women dressing like sluts can attract sexual assault? Yeah, that SlutWalk.
Dust off your corsets and get ready to march, because SlutWalks are now happening all over the dang globe. Click here to find one near you.

Royally Lazy
I am still patiently waiting for my royal wedding breakfast preparation apparatus to clean itself.
Another Sarkozy/Bruni Pregnancy Rumor
Once again, there's talk that French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, and first lady, singer/songwriter, former model and all-around fabulous betch, Carla Bruni are expecting their first child together. We'll seeeeee.
This Kicks Caffeine's Ass
The mid-morning slump just kicked in. Blahhhh. Rather than do the same ol' caffeine routine, I instead decided to re-review that batshit-crazy Japanese McDonald's commercial.

It worked like gangbusters! I am on FIRE, people! Productivity deluxe!
A Warning...
Beware the ides of March!
March 15 doesn't mean much to us anymore these days, but it has major significance in ancient history.
Supposedly, Roman leader Julius Caesar was warned that something bad was going to happen to him on or around March 15 (hence Shakepeare's "Beware the Ides of March" line in his play, Julius Caesar). A lot of good that warning did. On March 15, 44 B.C., the famed leader was stabbed 23 time in the Roman Senate in a conspiracy led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. There were 60 other conspirators, as well. Sheesh. Caesar had some serious enemies, yo.
On a more fabulous note, Rolls-Royce was incorporated on March 15, 1906.
Beware the sweet rIdes of March.
A Word of Advice for All My Ladies
Carpet cleaning: Next time, hire a pro.
Worth the extra expense. Your manicure and lower back will thank you.
Still hell-bent on the DIY thing? At the very least, ask a guy who looks like this to come over and help you. It makes the whole process much easier.
You're welcome.
From Tragedy to Triumph
The road warriors have returned.
We selected this fine location for a drive-thru adventure.
(Don't hate on Arby's or I will slap your face.)
Then, I remembered...
Ugh. Naturally, it's Meatless Monday. My thoughts had Beef & Cheddar written all over them. Huge sigh. What to do?
I made the g.d. most of it, that's what I did.
Cinnamon roll is the most important meal of the day, thankyouverymuch.
