Immersion Blenders.

Immersion Blenders.

A thing liked by me.

Immersion blenders.

That thing you pack in your suitcase, just to tease TSA agents into thinking you're taking down a massive and violent dild' on your business trip.

Immersion blenders.

When I was young, I used to test out my gag reflex by repeatedly imagining what would happen if I blended hair with water. Don't worry. Now that I'm a grown woman, I have grown up woman sick thoughts.

Immersion blenders.

My first IB was made of plastic. Rookie mistake. Plastic melts in piping hot pots of curried coconut curry soup and other things containing alliteration. Not being one to toss away a slightly melted kitchen appliance, I gave it to my brother. If anyone can eat small amounts of melted plastic per use, without consequence, it's him. He once told me that he is worried about being able to make babies because his sperm are so powerful that they would implant an egg from one end, and shoot through it on the other side.

Speaking of eggs, I can't seem to get the shell to come off smoothly these days when I hard boil them. I end up wasting half the egg when I attempt to peel it, and then end up crying alone at my table, mourning the loss of my caloric intake. I follow the instructions word for word on Yahoo Answers, but I'm starting to think that this is all just part of God's bigger plan.

Hard-boiled eggshell removal. Not a thing liked by me.

*Man in trench coat slaps my face, shakes my shoulders, and walks away.*

Where was I.

Goodbye plastic, hello metal!

Since making the switch, I haven't looked back. Except for that one time when I was blending a breakfast smoothie and did happen to look back (in anger), and ended up spraying blueberry smoothie all over my white kitchen. It was almost as much of a disaster as when I was having my period and my vagina sneezed.

Blender that you immerse.

In my eyes, anything that you can consume without having to chew, ranks high on my "Things Liked By Me" list. Thanks to my handy immersion blender, I can soupify the shit out of nearly anything. I recently read that pureed foods should be avoided because they trick your mind into thinking that you are drinking, resulting in less satiation than eating something big and thick.

Hmm.

Lucky for me, I'm the Queen of Trickery, and I've decided that I'm going to blend all my food, and then store it in molds shaped as different types of whole foods. How post-modern of me!

Immersion Blenders.

I like testing how high I can lift it before it starts spraying in my eyes.

Blender a la immers.

The weirdest thing I ever blended with one of these bad boys was hummus. I guess that's not very weird, but I did do something weird with it afterwards, that involved hair and water.

At least once a month I get lost in a fantasy world wherein my hand is a clitoris and my job is to immersion blend soups all day.

Decor.

Decor.

A thing liked by me.

Decor.

Oft obscured with "Dick-Whore", my nickname at Jewish summer camp.

Decor.

Can you use the word in a sentence please?

No. You don't deserve it.

Decor.

I recognize that this is a very broad thing to like, but please also recognize that this is my blog, which means that I build the agenda.

Decor.

A couple years ago, before I got American Netflix and a portable chocolate wiener, I read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers. I cursed my reckless parents for not giving me 10,000 hours of anything growing up, except for shelter, love and affection. I know, I know. How awful of me. But at the end of the day, THERE IS NO MONEY IN BUTTERFLY KISSES. TRUST ME. Tickling will never be an Olympic sport, and there is no National Hug Association All-Star team.

My life was in shambles. I spent my nights curled up on the shower floor, letting my snot and saliva drip down my face, saying things along the lines of, "I don't even know who I am anymore"/"Is this real life?"/"Why?" (etc...), and being generally super dramatic and unreasonable. Then one day, while I was picking the Winners price tag off of one of my shampoo bottles with extreme precision, I came to a realization that hit me like Chris and/or Bobby.

I had 10,000 hours of wallpaper picking experience.

Decor.

OK, fine. Maybe it was a total of 3.7 hours throughout my life, but 3.2 of those hours were spent picking wallpaper as an unpaid minor, so I definitely get bonus hours for child labor.

At the tender age of 4, and after living in a newly built house for less than a year, my parents decided to buy a house in a much more remote and coyote-infested area. The house we moved into had fleur de lis tiles on the entire main floor, and every wall was covered in wallpaper more hideous and textured than Uncle Bernie's hemorrhoidal sphincter.

Decor.

A thing liked by me.

Decor.

I've seen nearly every faux finish known to man,  and I've been with a lot of deceitful men.

I genuinely want to know if the carpet matches the drapes.

Gallery walls are more important to me than current affairs.

Things That Are Important To Me
1) Gallery Walls
2) Extramarital Affairs
3) Current Affairs

The only time I pay attention to news, really, is when I can squint at the content boxes, and fantasize that they are all precisely organized in an eclectic way on a 14 foot wall.

Decor.

Honestly, who buys Style at Home for the articles? That feature in last month's issue on curvy cloches drove me insane. I locked myself in my bedroom all weekend.

Decor.

I reupholster my dining room chairs to match my outfits.

I've got enough vases for a man to deflower every night of the week.

I was going to convert my closet into an office space but got distracted re-visiting the cloche pics.

Wieners.



Wieners.

One day I decided that I was lacking some serious wien in my life, and set up a meeting with my stock broker to discuss options.

After an intense conversation and a long and drawn out round of "Miss Mary Had a Steamboat", I left his office longing for a little doggy (typical), 

And so very shortly thereafter, I adopted a tiny little wiener dog from an old lady who had to go to a nursing home, which basically means that I am a good person and marriage material.

Unfortunately, the elderly lady carelessly and recklessly named the wiener dog “Jazz” without even considering the repercussions that could arise from such a stupid ol’ name. 

Before making the decision to change it, I did everything I could to make sure that there wasn't a legitimate and genuine reason that his name was Jazz. I looked up his birth records, and learned that his mom was knocked up at a party thrown by the Baha Men. My guess would be that there was no jazz music playing in the background to her lovemaking. Unless it was a hipster party, but it was four years ago, and hipsters only existed in Portland back then. Next, I played some Jazz music, but he didn't give a shit. Then, I bought him a trumpet, and he pissed on it. Finally, I showed him my jazz hands, and he shot me in the leg.

Consequently, due to the nature of myself, and my severe blood loss, I quickly changed his name from Jazz, to Jazzy Jeff, so that everyone would know that he is, in fact, a badass mother fucker (but just the right amount of badass mother fuckerness) and NOT a skittity bap bap bap jazz vocal enthusiast.

So it was just me and Jazzy Jeff, against the world, chilling out max and relaxing all cool.

But before I continue, I need to get a few things off my chest.

*Takes off bra*
*Eats popcorn kernel found in bra*

OK:

1) While my wiener is a thing liked by me, his wiener is not. 

It's massive, and if he gains any weight, and his back starts to curve, I'll have to rename him Sparky. I count my blessings daily that I have yet to see his red-rocket, and I forbid him from doing anything that might make it appear. Therefore, I don't change in front of him and I blindfold him if mommy is watching Air Bud. I am the biggest cock block ever, but whatever.

Despite my fear of the double wiener (or maybe because of it), I also have this uncontrollable need to talk about my dog's penis with other dog owners, because I don't really know what else to say to those freaks. 

Freak: "Aww, he's so cute, is he a puppy?"
Me: "No, but how awkward is it that your dog is way bigger than mine, but they have the same size penis?"

The conversation usually ends there because then I make a face like I have no teeth and try to make my eyes bulge like that lady that always won "America's Funniest Home Videos". You know the one.

I actually behave the exact same way on dates. It's only backfired once. Well, twice, if you count the time I went on that amazing date, but I was sitting at a different table from him, and in fact, he didn't even know we were on a date together, and come to think of it, he actually didn't know me at all, and to be honest, we never talked, and really I was just watching a movie at home, completely alone, getting distracted every so often by Jazzy Jeff's wiener.

2) My second confession is that I don't own a single little outfit for him. I know. What the fuck.

He is totally jealz of my closet, but I told him that if he wants to wear nice things, maybe he should just give in and let me turn him into a webcam girl.

3) Finally, whenever I think I am falling in love with Jazzy Jeff, I remind myself that his grandparents were probably Nazis.

OK- that's all the confessing I can do in one night. Let me wash up and nap a little before round two.

When I told my friends that I got a dog, they were all pretty surprised. I've never really talked obsessively about wanting a dog and I don't revert back to my toddler years when I see one. And yet, those who know me well, know loud and clear that I SURE AS FUCK love hot dogs*, and so due to the Law of Attraction to Phallic Items, the new wiener in my life somehow began to make sense to them.

Those who have had the pleasure of seeing me interact with my wiener, know that there is nothing fake or insincere about our relationship. And yet, it’s easy to jump to conclusions and assume that the adoption was based purely on my ability to capitalize on the amazing wiener and dog jokes that I could tell.

Well, when you assume, you make me feel like an ass, because you are right.

---

I could imagine that the pleasure I am getting from playing with my wiener is the same sense of elation that Chaz Bono feels on the daily.

When I’m sexually deprived, I think about my dog’s empty sack and then I feel better. But then I wonder if he DID have balls, would we bang?

Guys love to watch me stroke my wiener in public.

My dog took two shits in one walk tonight, which means that he is learning from me even when I don’t know he is paying attention.

Aggressively stroking my wiener to take the pain away.

Need to walk the dog, but don’t want to put on clothes. Excuse me while I conduct a comparative analysis of Poo on Floor vs. Vag on Cement.

Guys, is there such thing as Shaken Wiener Syndrome?

---

The other day, my wiener bit my face. I got semi mad at him, but not fully because sometimes I squirt mustard on him and nibble, so it’s only fair.

I took Jazzy Jeff to the dog park, but he squeezed through the gate and ran home.  Now when we walk by the park, and he tries to go in, I remind him, "You lost your chance, He-Bitch! You lost your goddamned chance!". Hide your kids, hide your wives.

True story- every time he runs away from me, I feel the spirit of John Bobbitt's penis lingering in the air around me. Another true story, don't google John Bobbitt unless you want to see what looks from far like a torn finger, or at best, a weird kernel of corn.

Wieners.

Liked by me.


*Legend has it that I once skipped out on plans as a young adult because my dad was roasting hotdogs in our fireplace. I don't remember this actually happening, but that's because I usually black out in an oral-orgasm induced coma whenever that fleshy all-beef meat hits my uvula, so the likelihood of this legend being true, is high.

Clean Slate

Clean slate.

Not to be confused with clean slits, which I am also a staunch advocate of. Ladies, clean your vaginas. Men, clean your Fleshlights.

Clean slates.

I cleaned mine recently. Bought an economy sized bottle of Windex from Costco, gave a little shpritz, and watched it do it's magic.

It's not that my slate was filthy, or unkempt, but it was full of things that didn't necessarily reflect the woman that I have worked so hard to become.
 
So, the first thing I did was sever ties with my pimp, Lorenzo, and gots myself an education.

I switched from a career in fashion, to the world of gaming, and naturally moved from high heel induced blisters to game controller hand blisters.

Jokes.
 
I don't actually play video games, and hand blisters are for peasants and monkey bar enthusiasts. 

Disclaimer: I blister easily.

So back to my shiny new slate, and the act of untarnishing it.

I've dusted it off, which according to the "10 Rules of Slatewashing" by Mel Gibson, includes taking a step back from not only professional relationships but also those more delicate and precious relationships. Relationships of the heart and genitals.

For the most part, I've worked hard and thick to keep this blog a little less deep and a lot more throat, so I'll save the New York City gritty committee pity the fool that act shitty in the midst of the calm, the witty details for my goose-filled pillows as I cry myself to sleep each night while simultaneously running through practice makeout sessions with them.

Re-emerging into the world of Singledom is much like what I would imagine climbing head-first back into the birthing canal would be like. At first it seems counter productive, painful, against human nature and generally fucked up.

I'm still at that stage.

I'll keep you posted as to when I get to the point where I am fully naked and someone is feeding me from a tube and carrying me around everywhere. That will be my golden moment!!!

Slate cleaning.

An act oft touted by ingrates, Neo Nazis and addicts.

I ask not for forgiveness, sympathy or compassion for my past indignation. Everything I've done up until this point, has been worthwhile, invigorating and has contributed to making me the absolute gem of a woman I am today.

But I needed a cleaning.

The cleanse was of my life, and not, contrary to public demand, of my colon. I'm open to pouring myself out and refilling the vessel of my entirety with new and exciting challenges and adventures, but the idea of squirting luke warm water into my asshole seems more like a leg opening experience than an eye opening one.

Slate Cleaning.

Probably the last thing liked by me in 2012. I'm sorry I've been a shitty blogger. Perhaps 2013 will bring more content for your pure and unadulterated entertainment.

So as we approach the fake, non-Jewish New Year, take a look at your own slates. I'm not telling you to quit your jobs, dump your partners, and start wearing lipstick on your cheeks

That would be totally irresponsible.

Just dim the lights, find a handheld mirror, put on some nice music, and take off all your clothes. 

But you can leave your hat on.

Centipedes.

Centipedes.

Why, you might ask, am I writing a blog about centipedes, when it is supposed to be a blog about things that I like? Well, because it's my blog and I can write whatever the hell I want.

Centipedes.

I am going to base this blog purely off of my own knowledge of the species, because I am too scared to Google the beast and see the images that pop up. To anyone who has ever googled any type of STD or fungal infection, this ignites equivalent cringes. I typically keep safe-search set to "OFF" because I like to live on the edge, and look at naked people.

Centipedes.

Most hideous creature, ever.

Centipedes.

My hate/loathe relationship with the fuckers started when I was just a young girl living in the Prairies. (Which is ironic, because my childhood centipede interactions actually allowed me to master the art of prairie doggin'.) Three of the creatures emerged from the gates of hell and turned up in the computer room* of our house, making my worst nightmare, a horrible, sickening reality.

My parents had left the house for their usual Saturday night date (this consisted of a movie and dinner, or more often, just smoking in the garage with the windows up), when my brother, my arch nemesis at the time, decided to chase me down the stairs with the animals in hand.

I locked myself in the bathroom, only to see the centi-legged cretins slither their way under the door to eat me alive. Yes, they had taken bath salts and were going to eat my face. On the exit ramp to Whitemud Drive. Southbound.

Standing on the toilet, I leaned forward, opened the door, and leaped out of the bathroom using all of my elementary school long-jump might. Into the hallway I went, and straight out the front door.

Straight out the front door, in the dead of winter (it was probably May) into the snow, with bare feet, in my Star Trek jammies.

In retrospect, I should hate my brother, (in retro-retrospect, I can't believe I had Star Trek pajamas and didn't turn out to be a gamer. That sucks.) and deep down I do and always will, but when he used to chase me with his farts trapped in film cannisters, I got over it. I'm not perpetually fearful of film cannisters (also because when was the last time you saw a film cannister?), but I am of centipedes, so what gives?

My life, beyond that point, was relatively centipede-free. I frolicked through young adulthood in a pede-less field of dreams with not a worry on my mind. Plus, I had other things to deal with, like taking pictures of Ryan Gosling on the television on Breaker High, gossiping and finding out if God really was there for Margaret.

Centipedes.

They reemerged into my life, recently, since my move out east. I've realized that Torontonians aren't assholes, they're just tough because they've grown up with centipedes. Natural born killers. The BF, who get's double props for growing up in Israel where there are a host of other pests trying to take their land, can kill those mofos like a ninja. They have no chance.

Me?

In my last residence, I slept with my cowboy boots next to my bed and a bottle of super hold hairspray on my night table.

I would shoot first, to slow them down, then stomp, then drag.

Logic: If I reached for them with a kleenex, they would leap onto my face and climb into my eyes, obviously.

My next plan was to secure the perimeter, so I sprinkled Borax around the baseboards of my apartment, and put tissue paper around my bed so that the crinkling of the perps would wake me up. It worked, once, and on the boots went, and they were made for more than just walking. They were death machines.

I still have run-ins with centipedes on a somewhat regular basis, but like I mentioned earlier, I have a protector who battles with them like a scene out of 300 (I make him do it topless, with canola oil slathered on his body, to make it more dramatic and keep things exciting). They keep me on my toes, or off them, since when I see them, I usually end up levitating somehow, but at the end of the day, I have to be grateful to live in a house, and have shelter, and blah blah blah, it could be worse, blah.

CENTIPEDES: If you are reading this, I hate you. Leave me alone. I know that you are sort of good because you kill other nasty ass things, but you are so NASTY. You have legs growing out of your legs. You are too fast.You jiggle even after I've sprayed you with insect killer. You have too many babies. You pain me.

*Back in the early '90s, the fact that you had a computer in a room, warranted the room to be called the 'computer room'. Before that, it was called the 'games room' because it housed a lot of dusty games that nobody in my family ever played with. Before that, it was called the panic room because of the two secret rooms within the room that were camouflaged by the wood panelling. My mother continued to call it the panic room until we got new carpets put in. Also, there are scary faces in the grains of the wood panelling of that room, so I am scared to be in there alone- thanks a lot, Unsolved Mysteries.

Braille.

Braille.

Can't live with it, can't live without it.

I tried learning it once- not because I wanted to be able to actually read Braille- but because as a teenager, I was pretty convinced that my acne patterns were trying to tell me something.

Lo and behold, they were not, but I'm pretty sure that Kabbalah was founded on similar principles, so it was worth a try.

One of the hottest trends right now in the home décor world, is decorating your walls with Braille so that you can essentially write whatever you want, without anyone really knowing what it says. But this only works in a wireless-less world, because in this day-and-age, house guests will turn on their iPhones without batting an eyelash, only to decipher that your entranceway reads "Redrum" and the axe is missing from the woodpile.

On a less morbid note, couples 'in-the-know' are opting to Braille sexual phrases in their bedroom unbeknownst to their innocent children. Of course, these are the parents that are practising co-sleeping and don't want their 8-year-old piggy in the middle hearing anything inappropz.

Speaking of young ones, Braille was actually invented by a fifteen-year-old French boy, named Louise Braille. Rumour has it that he was caressing the pages of a dirty magazine, when the idea popped up.


People who read Braille must have such sensitive fingers!


They aren't born that way, they have to train them to be sensitive. This is done by making them listen to Louis Armstrong, and read Tuesday's With Morrie. Once they pass the sensitivity test conducted by a team of Menstruating Scientists, they receive their first Braille challenge, which is to read an egg carton.


Braille placement confuses me.


Why does Ikea have Braille? How does that even make sense if it's impossible to find your way around the place with perfect vision and a working knowledge of the Swedish language? Maybe Braille makes it easier? Maybe the Braille says "Go straight, do not pay attention to the new slipcovers, do not get distracted by that PAX wardrobe system, it's always been here, it is not new, just in a new spot, what you need and came here for is at the end of the hallway, to the right, next to the table that doubles as a chair and a changing table for your baby"?


When the time comes, I am going to submit my resume in Braille and when the perplexed hiring manager gets to the bottom of the page, it will read: "The best business decision you can make is to surround yourself with people who are smarter than you". 


I will write it in a sans serif typeface, because it's more legible than serif, or dots.

Until then, ::..:::...:..:...:::. !!!

Israel.

I wrote this immediately following Israel's Independence Day but never actually uploaded it. So here it is. Ok? Does that sit well with you? Is this a resurrection of my blog, you might ask? Maybe. But probably not. I might actually turn this into a design blog. But probably not.

---

Israel.

Most definitely, a thing liked by me.

As she enters into her sixty-fourth year of official existance, I cannot help but gloat about what a woman she has become. Lush, lavish, and a devil in the bedroom, Israel certainly is a force to be reckoned with.

Despite Isreal's obvious flaws (stone washed denim, peanut butter flavored treats, yet no actual peanut butter spread anywhere to be found, apartheid state, etc...) I like Israel. A lot.

The love affair started officially in grade 9, when I was shipped off to Israel in the midst of the Second Intifada, to find Arafat. Unfortunately, I couldn't find him, but I did find a snazzy fake belly button ring at the shuk, and a shirt that says "Go Fuck Yourself" upside down.

That class trip to Israel erupted a volcano of longing deep inside of my sphincter. I soon realized it was, in fact, a digestive disruption from two weeks of ingesting nothing but falafel, but once that passed, and my movements were back to normal, I still felt a need to return to the Holyland as soon as possible.

Luckily, my sister was on the brink of womanhood, which meant bat-mitzvah season, which meant the possibility of having the celebration in Israel. Possibility quickly turned into reality, and before we knew it, we were on top of Massada, in one of the oldest synogogues in the world, listening to my sister and a handful of relative strangers join us in bitter adulthood.

Alhough my father nearly sold me to Hubbly-Bubbly in the Jerusalem Market for goats on that trip, once again, Israel left it's impact on me. [To be fair, I was a highly irresistable 17-year-old Jewish girl with full braided extensions in my hair.]

After taking a third trip to the Issy, I decided to go back for a year after highschool to 'discover myself' (or whatever the kids say these days) with something other than a mirror and the internet.

I lived for several months on a couple of different Kibbutzim (aka socialist communal farms that are actually multi-bagillion dollar enterprises) near Tel-Aviv and Eilat, and realized that the kibbutz lifestyle wasn't my bag. I told my Kibbutz husband and wives that it was fun while it lasted, packed up my belongings, said a final goodbye to the cows and the jackasses, and left.

Since then, I've travelled a few more times to the land of milk and honey, and upon each return, I always wondered how Israel could have so many gays, but Iran could have none. Too bizzare.

When will I return again? That, I cannot answer. One day soon, I hope, and when I do, I will visit my love children from year's past. 

As I pound away at my keyboard, fingers prancing like a goddamned puppeteer, all I can think of is how a place so physically distant, could feel so intrinsically close. It's sort of like a fart in the wind, I guess.
