Well, as you can imagine, I was super excited to know that you can put a photo up BEHIND all your greeting stuff at beginning of blog. How absolutely thoughtful of blogger to make this available.
Sad, 'Mother Theresa' Emma will not stay up forever. I bet you're glad, as I am, because, well, she just looks ssooo sad and pathetic. Well, people, this is how I feel and I think it's only fitting that you should be stuck looking at it for a while.
Why am I so mean? Oh, people, PEOple, as I briefly mentioned below I'm steadily cruisin' for that rock bottom thing. I just have NO energy, don't want to work on any of my paper mess which I assure one and all is oh-so-extensive. That made me realize there is something Super Wrong, as only weeks, maybe month or more ago I was a dynamo in dealing with this cr_p. Turns out being a dynamo is precisely what is necessary, otherwise I walk over, kick it a little but Nope, nuthin' makes me care about it at the moment. I guess we all have our barometer.
In case anyone had convinced themselves that I was entirely useless, I did in fact go about dealing with family/after my Dad passed away issues today. I think I am to be congratulated. Because the frustration factor is just off the meter now. Well, it would be if I didn't things in my own hands and get mellow.
Today's debacle required calling what I am starting to call the 'bumpkin state' and dealing with seemingly complete non cooperation from said folks. Huh, I got so much done weeks ago when I was feeling 'higher' and was oh so honest and at that point somehow got oodles of help. Funny how when you are in the depths of depression and just want answers and don't feel like playing the human interaction game you can practically get nuthin done. Ah, I say practically because one of my big burdens IS much better now, thank you. I'd share but privacy is such an issue nowadays. I guess you'll just have to Wa-Wa-wa-wonder. :)
Well, I think I can additionally share that I feel Rather Funky right now. Nope, Tart can't imbibe, smoke or take dope so I have opted for the next best thing. I admit I have abused my prescription medication. At the moment I feel almost deaf, which is an awesome feeling! What the hell, you wonder? I took a an extra buttload of Depakote and this is what happens. Slowly, I can't even hear even myself tapping away on the keys. I feel a funky kind of shut down. Hmm, besides a slight concern that I won't go back to my hah 'normal' self, I'm seeing this as a super positive.
I was gonna say that I have a list for what has made me feel better today. It's short because I'm honest but here it is:
1) Despite massive stinkin' thinkin' I still smell great! Yes, my big high today was spritzing some Lancome Tresor on myself. Sad? Check out number 2.
2) I only had one great big laugh today. It occurred right when I first got on the computer today, cause one of my useless instant messengers directed me to it (does ANYone ever IM anymore? Oh I forgot nobody in blogland or reality gives a crap about me. Cool. I am cool with it. Really.). Okay, I am telling you right now this is NOT SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THE KIDS. Is that a big enough disclaimer? And it is JUST BIZARRE and may even be INAPPROPRIATE and OBJECTIONABLE for some delicate eyes. But I did not name it one of the 'Best Clips of the Day' myself nor can I help that it made me laugh over and over like a sadistic little child.
I realize taken out of the context that it is you will all think me insane. But it made me laugh for so many reasons. For one, I wonder about Nancy Grace. And for another I'm thinking Wow, what rebellious balls her video minion Elizabeth has to do this. Oh, NANcy please don't fire her. She is fresh air. Really, you should value her honesty.
So without further ado, the most tasteless video Tart's ever had on her blog. But it made me laugh and laugh, so what Does That Say About Me? Dang I'm fun/funnee, even while going down the draaainnn!!
Snagged from the "This Just In" site, here's how they intro it: By the way check out the NANCY GRACE thing and IGNORE the other stuff. It's about the NANCY GRACE thing, people.
'Nothing says news and journalistic integrity like the words, "Nancy Grace Podcast." As the fem-bot attempts to nail Paris Hilton to the wall (finally, someone needed to take her to task!), her crew commits mutiny. Watch the crazy unfold...'

Now Posting Pretty Pictures
Lavender
Medicine Lake, Glacier Nat'l Park, Montana
South Pacific
Parry clover and Trifolium Parryi, Yankee Boy Basin, Colorado
Parati Bay, Brazil 
Colorful Lorakeets
White Crocus
Cherry Tree and Dandelion Meadow, Zug Canton, Switzerland
Because my life may never get back to 'normal' whatever the hell that means, and because here is not the place for me to parcel out anything that is probably going to make you, dear reader, feel any better, I will now return to a perrenial Jungletart favorite: posting pretty pictures.
Luckily a huge wailing screaming life-sucking cry has weakened me into being as feisty as a titmouse (that just sounded cool, I couldn't resist).There are many factors leading me down the not so primrose path of bottoming out. On the almost exciting front I have been accepted by Bipolar Planet ring. I have not checked their site to see if that means I'm on it (the supposed reason of being on a ring, I believe). Also, I thought I was accepted by the Bipolar ring (yes, a different ring altogether) but perhaps I am on queue? Well, welcome bipolars. Hopefully crappy days like I'm experiencing come few for ya.

ई ऍम कोन्फुसेद - I am confused
Apparently I should be. I just typed in Hindi.
Well, this is what happens when you stay up waaaaay too late and start messing around with your template, for one thing. I just reeeaally want to fix the fact that my backlog is in 'weeks' instead of months. I have fixed this, I thought, but apparently it's not appearing on the blog. I keep looking for a repub button and...there isn't one. So please accept my apologies.
I meant to say I am confused because www.ringsurf.com has officially accepted me as part of the bipolar ring but A) the little (and I do mean little) icon of theirs that I have put into my template/page just does not seem to work B) if you click on it, it goes nowhere.
And that completes my report of what is wrong on the blog today. Carry on.

Knit/crochet squares for VA Tech victims: Gotta movie about it
Because I stay up all night gazing at my favorite things on the web (knitting, spinning, fiber, alpacas, pugs, ETc.), I found this absolutely lovely YouTube movie from the blog www.skeincocaine.blogspot.com. That blog is written by the one and the same Gina, owner of the Mosaic Yarn Shop in the Blacksburg, Virginia area that is featured in this short. She is being interviewed because she came up with the idea of knitting squares for blankets for the families of the victims of the VA Tech shootings. Dang, I am so slow I don't think I could knit fast enough for the May 31st deadline. But, there's alway crochet.... Anyway, she has now posted on her site that the finished blankets will be displayed in some high end museums - this is very important stuff people. And from the hands of knitters. There still is beauty left in this world.

Of Course! You're an incompetent idiot, THAT's Why!!!!!!
Oooooooh yeeaah!! I know there's dozen's, perhap's thousands out there waiting with bated breath to know the final installment, the veritable true outcome of 'The DMV Debacle.'
Oh, fair patrones of my site, I won't keep you waiting. Not one typewritten tittle longer. But let me tell you, patron, THIS IS GOOD! As in, it takes the f'n bureacratical cake right out the conservative (but UNnamed numnuts. because I am feeling kind) that usually perform things of this stupid nature right out of the usual places and into the hands of an even worse threat - the career civil servant - in my humble opinion.
Okay, okay, okay. I call my Commonwealth (remember, it's not a State) DMV to confirm receipt of my Medical report today. I faxed it last Thursday (I know you remember that I also mailed it a month before) and all's I want is to know that they received it and they are NOT GOING TO SUSPEND MY LICENSE as per the threat, I mean letter, that stated they were gonna if 'they didn't receive my Medical report by May 20th (original due date: April 30th).
I spoke with a Medical Department DMV individual (individual=moron, or often worse, in Tart vernacular. Secret's out). This individual tells me that they updated my report yesterday and the letter stating their little piss ant requirement has been filled, with date of next piss ant requirement (honestly criminals get parole, this is unbelievable treatment) on it. This is not good enough for Tart. Oh NO! I was polite but pushy and said I wanted a letter on Commonwealth of ______'s letterhead stating that they were not in fact going to suspend me. A suspension of the notice of suspension, if you get me.
Soooooo's I gets her Manager, since that was not something she handled. (!) Manager gets on phone and was the vision of puff and bluster, all condescending and going to put me in my place, as though she were being stared at by the other DMV minions and definitely had something to prove. TO MY CREDIT, I was non-flustered with this. (On my worst day I am at home typing about my issues or screaming to no one in particular. That lady works there 5 days a week. Need I say more?) I worked with the lady, allowing her to belittle me as she acted as though information that she was giving me for the FIRST time was something that any ONE of the 4, count them 4, previous DMV minions had told me. They had not. You are going to love this:
She was holding in her hand THE Medical report that I had MAILED earlier in the month. It was dated that they RECEIVED it April 8.
The Medical Report was originally DUE April 30th. THEY (now here's where we get to the the words like INADEQUATE...INCOMPETENT, kids) did not update my file until May 11.
This means that while they swear up and down they do not have the manpower to UPDATE my file, they were able, at some point, to hire a computer pro that put together a fabulous system to spit out SUSPENSION NOTICES on May 1.
So I call and call (they have 2 phone lines for the entire Commonwealth), I fax it out of fear - and the Beyotch had it the whole time. Not to mention the mix of unnamed emotions that I felt receiving a Suspension Notice, knowing good and well that I had sent it in plenty of time. Why you gotta piss off the bipolar?
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize she was full of sh_t. I mailed that thing the second week of April, there is no way she could have received it that EARLY!!!! Could there be more vapid liers than the pieces of cr_p they find to work in a Commonwealth DMV????? And while we're at it, why are we a frickin' Commonwealth? Like I said, its like they're too lazy to put in the papers to be a state. The entire thing sickens me. u80qw4p nuqo3tphroalj akpoviuopt[ ----- see I just barfed all over the page.
The crap I go through. It defies logic. It defies sense. It defies DECENCY.
Perhaps my computer will be spitting out letters, on Tart letterhead, sent daily to these blustermuffins describing how they should be proud that they put the Presidente de United States to shame,
oh and I wasn't gonna go there.
and that if they are not able to do their job at least they could be nice about it (or even take responsibility) for how horrible their system is when an innocent (but proactive) driver/taxpayer/victim calls them on it. What a privilege it is to drive. And some people wonder why there's road rage.

I really do surf the web too much.
Maria Shriver says she was just about to return to her job as an NBC correspondent when the 'Anna Nicole Frenzy' broke out. She was so disgusted that she quit her job entirely.
She will now be intermittantly bothering us with her jutting facial features and uber feminism. Yes, Ms. Shriver I can feel your 'feminism.'
Look, this lady does not fool me. She has tanked herself dutifully like all the other Kennedy women. Oh yes, they feign that important 'I'm from a political family' thing but the truth is that Grandpa Joe must have done such a number on every one of the female sex of his sad little presidential hopeful brood that every one has subserviated their personhood so their man could be a politician.
Ms. Shriver plays the 'I can bear four or five off-spring have a completely draining full time job trying to entertain millions with important sounding stuff (yes, Ms. Shriver they call that the news and all the famous anchors are reading it off the teleprompter.) AND keep my husbands best stuff in his pants as he, once again, plays politician.' Oh, Maria, Maria. Someone, please tell me what is the MATTER with Maria.
Pretentious, annoying, more than faintly condescending.
I like my Anna Nicole media frenzy, thank you very much. And if you can't fit in, well, be a baby and quit. I know I did and media publishing cries every day for it.
I guess you'll have to get a blog and whine on that.
Take that, irritation that I simply had to spit out. Like a percolating pearl, that one was. Damn I'm good. I can't help it. I too have skills and talents that go unpaid every day. Yet I live. So quit yer whinin'.

Geopolitics, Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, Iran and What the Heck we're doing in the Middle of all of it EXPLAINED!
Ah, back so soon from crippling depression? Yes, well, when feeling like a slogga slogga nothing can keep me away from my various checking out of the web. You have got to see this!
It's okay I will go ahead and admit to having a horrible to nil understanding of the conflict in Iraq and the Middle East region. This coming from a previous just-for-a-while International Relations major. Anyhow, if you would like to listen to NBC correspondent Richard Engel explain to you what the heck the situation is and why, click on link below. It's better than all the crap you watch as News each night because you really will learn something.
