I Think I Know why Our Lady is Crying

                             

Embroidered Roses Are a Nice Touch

Even baby Jesus is not impressed with being in this God Awful statue.  

It reminds me of watching an old episode of the simpson's before the artists decided how to draw them...

And once again the artist followed my motto: If you can put glitter on it, put glitter on it.  He, however, also decided to eat some of the paste he used on the statue before painting the faces.

Christmas

Christmas at my house is a little different.  This is what's under the tree

Wish I was joking.

My Room...The Before Picture

"No, really, officer, I have no idea how the fire started."

2011

Here's to not over doing it in 2011!



Oops too late. New resolution.

Here's to embracing the beauty of the human voice in 2011!

(stay tuned to 1:11 for the biggest WTF of the year. i promise you, and its only like 5 hours into the new year)

Ok, you know what...you know what, that's fine. This year we will..hm....2011 will be the year of ancient Christian beauty through the icon!



You know what never mind.

GET YOUR PANTIES IN A BUNCH.

so some bitchy ice cream company run by a bunch of eye-talians (said like my neighbour who is under the impression that italians are from eye-tally) decided to advertise their ice cream with a bunch of priests and nuns molesting eachother and stuff. Here's the deal, it pisses me off on a couple different levels.

Read about it here

1) It's kind of a cheap-shot to jump right to offending catholics by having priests and nuns all sexy and stuff. It's, to quote Ms. Katy Perry (speaking of sexy, amiright?...too soon? anyway) like a comedian telling a fart joke. Getting people angry to sell products is basically what glenn beck does every single night. So congradulations.



2) have you EVER seen a priest or a nun that was that attractive? One doesn't get breast implants or work out like 80 hours a day just to go off and take a vow of celebacy. That's called poor time management.

3) I am actually angry over the ads. I know that's the point, but seriously. It just makes me angry that "who should we offend?" "OOOH! THE CHRISTIANS!" is pretty much everyone's first trick...I would like to see a shwarma company advertise by having some ladies in burkas touching eachother's titties with the caption "Allah-hoor smack-bar." or something more clever. THEN we could talk about "free speech"

4) And finally, it makes me angry because they clearly did NO research into what catholics are like in anyway. If a priest wore a rosary he'd probably get in trouble from the old ladies in his congregation, nuns have buzz cuts, most just wear cardigans and clogs not full length habits. I AM OUTRAGED. OUTRAGED.

I'm Afraid

That if my personal catholic statue collection continues in my house, it will soon look like this.

For when being humble simply will not do!
