I was watching a commercial for a restless leg syndrome medication last night. The usual warnings, it may kill you, see your doctor if your legs get more restlessy. Then came this, "discontinue use if you have an increased urge to gamble".
How does that go exactly? "Well my legs have stopped twitching, but I lost my house in Vegas". This is the only time that I've wished I was a doctor. I want to ask my doctor about this medicine per the commercials instructions. Not because I have restless legs but I just have to know how exactly does a medicine designed to calm down your legs increase your urgency to gamble?
You just know the test group was filled with sarcastic people like me, "Oh yeah, my legs are fine, but I want to hit the slots". Between the two, I would definitely choose the gambling because it's one of the rare moments in life where you can say, "The meds made me do it!". This begs the burning question, if you had to have restless leg syndrome, or a gambling addiction which one would you choose?

If Dating Were a Comic Book
If dating were a comic book, this would be one of the villains:
Disguise: He's the perfect guy, & he likes me. In fact, he's so perfect that I do the aloof thing while I hang back & watch for his fatal flaw to reveal itself. Mostly because I just really like the word aloof. He is characterized by his obsessive phone calls, dates, text messages & emails. He says all the right things & he MUST be different, he's always trying to be around me, that means that he likes me! He acts like he can't live without me.
Evil Powers: As soon as I stop the aloofness, he stops the obsessiveness. Suddenly, he's very busy. His cell phone fell in the toilet. Something came up at work. He developed a case of adult onset relationship claustrophobia. (Not a medical term, but it should be)
If I make the mistake of returning one of his phone calls, he needs more space. He is so powerful that I hang in there, thinking he will return to his previous interest in me. Until I decide I've had enough. Once again, the cybernetic powers enter & BAHM! He knows that I know that he's a jerk. Then all of the sweetness & obsessiveness kicks back in.
Defense: Act like you are really into him. Bake him cookies, call him & ask about his day. Leave a notebook around with doodles of your name with his last name attached. Watch him fade away.
Beware of the Cybernetic Wizard of Thoughts.

This weeks drawing at Random Acts of Bling is an amethyst & sterling pendant. It is very sparkly. Clicking on the picture should take you to the post to enter.
Here is a picture of all of the fires going on in Utah. My house is safe for now, but other's are not. The fires have been started by things as simple as sparks from someone's brakes. Some people in our county are being evacuated, I am not & shouldn't have to be. Our power has been going out a lot. Last night we finally got rain, combined with lots of lightning & wind. So if you could pray, or send happy thoughts, or do a rain dance for rain in Utah minus the lightning & wind, it would be much appreciated.

Ohhhh Sparkly!!!
I got an award today. No, it's not "The cutest dictator ever", still got my fingers crossed for that one. No, it was the Rockin' Girl Blogger Award which was kindly bestowed by Stacy. I now get to give it to five people, if you already have it, well now you have two. They can get in fights on the mantle.
The Future Mayor, for being herself & introducing me to this comic.
JenKneeBee for coining the phrase "boys are stinky pie" (It's true, boys are stinky)
GirlFriday: I only wish I could write like that, I also have blog envy because she has one of the coolest looking blogs I've ever seen.
Author Julie Carobini: That's how I refer to her in my head, Author Julie Carobini, because this woman can write & has a kind & generous heart. I read her book Chocolate Beach & it was amazing.
Brainy Jane for having one of the most wicked awesome tag lines in existence. She always makes me laugh & think at the same time, which just sounds dangerous.
You'll have to excuse me, I now feel the need to go organize a "Cutest Dictator" award.

Tiaras for everyone
Update: The links in this post were broken, now they aren't. (Thanks to Lynette for pointing this out). Also, I'm putting the update on the top of the post instead of the bottom because I'm a rebel that way. End of Update. (Yes, I also type End of Update. Cause I'm a rebel). End of Update.
Lately, I've had the urge to call up several friends & say, "Hi, I'm just calling to let you know that your love interest is a complete idiot & you should kick him in the shin & run away". Lately, I've probably needed such a phone call. I think we stay with these idiots out of fear that nothing better will come along. I've noticed it in a lot of other places as well, people just don't seem to be remembering that we are princesses, even though I tend to yell "I'm a princess, just stop it".
So, I've decided to start something called random acts of bling. I'll be giving away jewelry every week that the winner can either keep, or randomly give away. The only catch is that whoever ends up with it must remember they are a princess whenever they look at it. Entering is simple, you just have to post a comment here about how humanity doesn't suck & I'll randomly draw the winner on Thursday, or you can enter by posting a story on your own blog & leaving a link in a comment here. (I've been using the word random a lot, I really need a thesaurus). I've already bought a year of supplies, lots of sterling rings with natural gemstones. However, the first prize is a tiara, I just couldn't resist. Everyone needs a tiara. I would love any suggestions on how to make this run smoother or get it to reach more people. Feel free to steal this graphic if you'd be kind enough to spread the word.

World Domination in 3 simple steps
Stacy just created the best meme ever about world domination.
The World Domination Meme:
You are offered one superhero power to help you take over the world (or the country of your choice). What would your superpower be and why?
I would definitely have to say I would want the ability to shower really, really fast. Actually, that's from "Gilmore Girls". Honestly, I have everything a good dictator needs, I look great in a tiara & I'm humble.
Where will you establish your capital and why?
Canada. All of Canada. I just wish that it was warmer there. I once knew a Canadian who had a job shoveling snow off mailboxes. He didn't think this was uncommon. I'm not down with frozen tundra.
What would be your first official decree as a brand new dictator? Why?
Change the climate in Canada so it is warmer. Oh maybe my power should be the ability to control the weather!
As a Great and Fearsome Leader, you will need to have the best people working for you. Who would work for you? (Feel free to use famous people, fictional characters, friends and family, or other people from the blogosphere in your answer.) What would their jobs be?
I wrote a post where I included Powerpuff girls, Bob Saget, & my blogging friends as people that would make up the perfect government. I'm not really a details person, I just have the general idea like, hey build a time machine go stop the guy who invented pantyhose.
If you could make one annoying habit illegal in your empire, what would it be?
Loud chewing. Or a law against people who are not Matt Damon. I think my empire consists a lot of me driving up & down the road in an icecream truck with a loudspeaker yelling "Why won't you be more like Matt Damon".
I just realized that I didn't include any steps for world domination. My apologies for the misleading title, but go take this meme & you'll forget all about it.

Well, that explains it
I was watching a "Burger King" commercial where the girl is trying to get the husband to try a shake, & he can't because he is a hologram. More accurately, I was being annoyed by this commercial. To me it says, "you're better off defying science then coming to our restaurant", which is probably not what they were going for. Now, I don't know what the popular vernacular is, if that's a cyborg, or a hologram, pod person, or the creepy robot baby from the last post, so I'll just go with hologram.
Whenever I watched Star Trek, or Star Trek the next generation, I was more focused on the fact that there was only one girl on the ship, & that I would never want to go to outer space because the ship probably reeked of sweat socks.
Naturally, this thought lead me to, Which celebrities could easily be replaced by holograms without us knowing, if they haven't been already? My vote is for Paula Abdul. I don't know if the rumors are true, or if she is indeed just a really bad insomniac. Frankly, I don't care. Watching her show "Hey! Paula" is extremely entertaining, but it's one of those things that I know I shouldn't be laughing at. Something is wrong there, & maybe, just maybe, she's a hologram. It would explain so much.
