Here are your Real Detroit Horoscopes for this week!!

Who Does That?

So last spring at work we stopped using styrofoam cups to help save the environment & we (those of us who care) decorated our own coffee mugs. Yesterday I walk into the kitchen & my mug is in the sink freshly used & soaking. I'm like what the hell is this shizz, isn't the point of decorating our own mugs to make them our own? I thought my mug was pretty clear & it isn't like we have a lack of blank mugs for everyone to use so why must someone feel the need to use mine? Were they just too lazy to move mine aside & grab the blank one behind it or are they just such a total jerk that they enjoyed using my mug? Perhaps I should lick my mug before putting it back in the cabinet, that would teach em, or at least make me happy knowing that they are drinking my spit with their coffee. Anyway, I've attached a photo to illustrate the mug & why I don't understand how anyone could be confused by the fact that it's mine. So I just have to ask, who does that?

Movie Weekend

So this past weekend I stayed in Dearborn to watch Doug's house & animals while he was off gallivanting in Kentucky with a bunch of guns. Since Doug only has basic cable my only choice was to rent movies so I chose Vicky Christina Barcelona & Nights In Rodanthe. Friday night I watched Vicky Christina & wasn't all that impressed. I thought the movie was ok, nothing special, just a story about an annoying girl, her hot friend, a Spanish artist dude & his crazy ex-wife. The crazy ex-wife is the role that won Penelope Cruz the Oscar & I just don't get it, she was good in it yes but worthy of an Oscar? I think not, though I didn't see any of the other roles for which the women were nominated so I can't really compare. I would recommend this movie if you don't have to pay for it but honestly even the $4.50 or whatever I paid was a little too much.

So Saturday afternoon I got a wonderful hour long peppermint massage & it was just what I needed to clear my head & my tension & my worries & everything else. After that I knew the best follow up would be dinner, wine & a movie with Wendy so we got some Italian then headed back to the house. We watched Nights which was good but predictable. This movie is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks who also wrote "A Walk To Remember" and "The Notebook" both of which were pretty freaking predictable too if you ask me, though Walk was the worst of the 3, the first time I saw it, every minute I knew what was going to happen next & I never read the book. Actually I've never read any of his books because I assume that they are extremely predictable like all of the movies made about them & that doesn't interest me. Wendy on the other hand didn't see anything coming in Nights & to me it was freaking obvious, because we all know that none of his books have happy endings! Anyway, this one was more worth the rental fee because the characters were identifiable & the story seemed as though it could have been real, unlike Vicky. I would wait for cable to watch both of them if I were you but if you feel like a cry then rent Nights. I have to say one of the main reasons I liked that one better were the actors, I love both Diane Lane & Richard Gere & love them together. I would give Vicky 2 olives & Nights 2.5 (out of 4).

Who Does That?

OMG you guys! So Wendy informs me this morning about something that happened to her & Paul last night & all I could say was "who the eff does that"? Got a little story for ya & hear it goes. W&P had a friend over last night & this friend smokes cigarettes so they said "go ahead, smoke in the house, we don't mind" so he did. This morning W&P get a note from their downstairs neighbor, wait...let's step back a second.

W&P had a cool but lazy neighbor before & he wasn't much trouble but recently moved out & they got new neighbors, a couple with a 2 year old...just what everyone hopes will move into the other unit of their duplex right? So the kid seems to never sleep according to Paul, no matter the time of day he can hear it screaming, crying, yelling & it runs very heavily & they can actually hear the kid running around downstairs from their upstairs unit so you know that is LOUD!The people had no idea what recycling was nor what a sidewalk was either so I assume that they must be from Mars but that's beside the point.

Back to the story at hand. So they wake up to a note on the door which reads "please do not smoke in the house we can smell it downstairs" WTF? Who the eff are you to tell me what I can & cannot do in my house? I pay motherf***inrent & will do as I damn well please, not to mention the fact that we were here first & the lease does not indicate that this is a non-smoking house so eat a dick (that's what I would have said). So anyway, Paul wrote a note back that said "Thank you for confronting us about the issue. Keep in mind that waking up in the night to your child stinks too. Also this is not a recurring issue & the lease agreement allows us to do so." I give Paul a big fat gold star for today because Wendy (for some reason) is always hesitant to stand up to the neighbors even when she is right, even when they are doing something illegal (like parking over the sidewalk) she always worries about them getting pissed & I usually offer to come over & scream at them but she never lets me! That's beside the point, I wouldn't have even included the part about it not being recurring, I say invite all of your friends over that smoke & tell them to light em up!!! Who knows, maybe they can smoke em out, ha ha ha. What a crock of shit, what is with people? Who does that?

Chrihanna Updates!!

Ok so from the zillion things I've read today I'm gathering this information: This couple loves to fight, it's a total turn on so this incident is nothing new although more drastic than needed. The entire ordeal could have been avoided had Rihanna not invaded his privacy & read his text messages. He beat her so badly that blood splattered in the car & all over her clothes. She didn't lose consciousness but came close. Her calling her assistant & telling her to have the cops at the house when she got home is what sent Chris really over the edge & he told her he would kill her & then proceeded to try. He's been charged with 2 felonies but no idea what the penalty will be, he'll be arraigned this afternoon. They are back together anyway & her family supports it. She's pregnant (rumored). Flo Rida is pissed about the whole ordeal because they had a track that was supposed to drop soon & sure to be a number 1 but now that the radio won't play Chris Flo & those he collaborated with are going to miss out on their recognition which isn't cool. I'm still pissed that the radio stopped playing his music, eff that. Does the radio still play the Eagles? Yes, even though the dude is a child molester. Does the radio still play Ike Turner? Yes, even though he beat his wife for years. Does the radio still play Miley Cyrus? Yes, and why?! Article 1 Article 2 Article 3

Congrats!!

I just wanted to stop & congratulate Andrea & Eric Ladasz on their new baby boy, Xavier Lee. Welcome Mr. X to the coolest group of people you will ever know :)

Here are your Real Detroit Horoscopes for this week, enjoy!!

Labor 09, Right On Time!

Well, not really, more like a week late but Andrea & Eric are in active labor & should have a kid by this evening, they don't know what they are having so I'm actually excited!!

Who Does That?

So a 27 year old woman named Latreasa L. Goodman went to McDonald's & she paid for her food but was told that they were out of chicken nuggets which she ordered. They asked her if she wanted something else and she told them no & the store told her they couldn't give her the money back. She told them she didn't want anything else, she wanted the nuggets & then told the store to just cancel her order & give her all her money back & they again told her that no they couldn't refund the cash. Anyway, the woman got all pissed & called 911...three times!!! I too would be bummed if they were out of what I came for & yeah it's total crap that they wouldn't give her the money back but she should have called the 1800 number on her receipt when she got home, not 911. Who does that? Click here for the story & links to the 3 911 calls.

Only One More?!

So last night was the 2nd to last episode of The L Word ever! I'm so sad that this show is about to end in just 6 days :( I knew something was going to happen with the Tasha, Alice, Jamie saga but I'm glad that it didn't end up happening behind someones back (ala Shane) because Alice deserves way better than to be treated like that. Now even though I'm sad to see the show end I can't wait to see who killed Jenny but my cash is currently on Max because he's been so absent this season, his feminine hormones are raging, and Jenny keeps crossing the line with him. As for last night's episode Bette was smoking sexy as always, I was happy that the Kit/Sunset deal finally showed itself. As for the mama's I so knew that the mother wasn't going to come to LA, I mean come on Bette & Tina couldn't even spring for a flight? They were having a 7 month pregnant chick travel 6 hours on a bus when she could have flown in about an hour? Had I been the chick I wouldn't have come either, funk that...she knows they have the cash. I really wish that Bette would have just finished her story about Jenny & Kelly & the non existent cheating because at this point it really doesn't matter what she did or didn't do the point is that she's hiding it from Tina. Well, I'm just super stoked to see what all unfolds in the finale...it better be good!! I also want to say that I'm glad Jenny is going to die, I don't like her & then if they should make a reunion special or movie then she won't be in it, yay!!!
