hairs around Rachel McAdams’ nipples? SO SICK. You know what, you fucking Dork Brigade fuckwads who are having a cow that a woman DARE to have hair in an area unapproved by you, I think that perhaps you should not be so concerned, because the chances of YOU getting up close and personal with Rachel McAdams’ breasts are so minute they don’t register on any scale that can be seen by the human eye.
Who are these freakin’ dorks who are NO PRIZES themselves, holding up some impossible standard for women to live up to? Oh no, she has hairy nipples! Oh no, she’s bigger than a size 0! Oh no, they’re wearing granny panties! Oh no, they don’t shave every single public hair, and in fact every hair from every inch of their body except their heads! The horror! THE HORROR!
I’m sure that if Rachel McAdams knew that pictures of her nipples were going to be splashed all over the internet she would have yanked out the hairs just to spare the Dork Brigade the sheer horror of having to be aware of the fact that she’s a living, breathing human and exists for purposes beyond serving as an image for them to jerk off to.
When I think of the Dork Brigade, I think of a bunch of guys who strongly resemble Philip Seymour Hoffman in Boogie Nights (only a tenth as HOT, if you know what I mean), (or maybe this guy) sitting in front of their computers wearing clothes that haven’t been washed in a week, guzzling Coke, eating pizza, clicking through the nekkid celebrity sites and saying things like “I could never do Rachel McAdams. She has a couple of HAIRS around her NIPPLES. So gross!”
GOD.

Also on my nerves: this “War on Christmas” horseshit. I think that we are all adults, and I think that if you have half a brain in your head, whether I say “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas” or “Happy what-the-fuck-ever”, you are possibly intelligent enough to understand that what I am saying is “Have a good one; now get the fuck out of my way.” So shut the fuck up about the “War on Christmas” and… get the fuck out of my way.

Rumor has it that Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney have been seeing each other recently. I suspect that Renee Zellweger might be a fan of the drama. Didn’t she and Jack White break up and make up many times over the course of their relationship? She’s a closet drama queen, mark my words.

I watched
Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words on Friday, and it was funny as SHIT. The best part was the two guys (whose names I didn’t catch) reading from Sylvester Stallone’s and Tommy Lee’s autobiographies. HILARIOUS.
Definitely worth
checking out if you get Bravo.

This weekend I discovered that there’s no way I’ll ever be a Xanax addict. Fred’s been encouraging me to try a Xanax ever since he got his prescription (and then took three or four of them and stopped taking them, so he could save them for a rainy day), and on Saturday I finally tried one. (Not looking for a lecture, by the way. It’s not like I’ll be jumping into my time machine and going back to change the fact that I took it.)
I hated the way it made me feel. First it made me really sleepy, so I went back to bed and slept for two hours. Then when I finally rolled my ass out of bed and got dressed, I felt groggy. Eating lunch woke me up a little, and for the rest of the day I was simultaneously spacey and in a really, really bad mood. A bad mood that’s just now starting to abate.
I don’t like feeling high in any way, thus the reason I don’t drink or do drugs (though that meth
sounds like some gooood stuff, doesn’t it? Where can I get me some o’ that?!), and I don’t ever want to take another Xanax again in my life, thanks.

Fred painted his bedroom this weekend.
Before:
After:
I really, really like it. It’s amazing how much cozier and homier it looks in there now with the walls that color. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The man sure knows how to pick out a room color!
* * *
Speaking of Fred’s bedroom, I got yet another concerned “Why do you and Fred have separate rooms? That doesn’t seem like it’s very good for your marriage!” email this weekend. I didn’t answer it, because I’m tired – you have NO idea how tired – of answering that question. It surprises me just how many people assume that the fact that we sleep in separate beds is a bad thing. The longer I’m married, the more I realize just how rigid people can be when it comes to the idea of what does and does not entail a healthy marriage. And the longer I’m married, the more I realize that each marriage is an entity unto itself and what would never work for one married couple works perfectly fine for another.
Let me assure you that my marriage is perfectly healthy and that we spend as much time laying in bed talking as any couple who sleeps in the same bed. And you don’t have to actually share a bed at night to have a healthy sex life as well.
But, y’know, thanks for your concern and everything.
Now if I could just get the cats to sleep in
their own room, I’d be a happy camper.

I uploaded a veritable ton of pictures over at Flickr today.
Go check ’em out.

Previously
2004: I’d swear to never use Amazon again, but it’s so FREAKING convenient I just can’t help myself.
2003: Clearly we were in the presence of REALLY important people.
2002: Because I’m just that good.
2001: That’s right, damnit, I’m a chick magnet!
2000: We’re standing strong in the face of those two snowflakes.
1999: Though I guess “substance” would be a matter of opinion.]]>
Is it wrong that I think some of those people look better in the “after” photos? Yeah, I guess that is wrong.
That’s a really beautiful green — you’re right, Fred can pick ’em!
I could not agree MORE about the sleeping in seperate rooms thing. Should I ever find myself with a man living with me again, that will be a RULE.
My husband and I canNOT sleep in the same room. We are both snorers and it’s always a race to see who can fall asleep first. Then the anxiety of trying to fall asleep gets to us and neither of us can sleep.
I’m convinced that the reason we are happily married is because we sleep in separate rooms (good sleep does wonders to a disposition!).
And our sex life is quite healthy, thankyouverymuch!
The green is really nice … I definitely may have to steal a few of Fred’s ideas.
I love that green color.
That is an absolutely gorgeous color of green — I’d like that in our bedroom when we (eventually) get a house.
And as for sleeping in separate rooms, I understand completely — the husband snores like a band saw, and if it weren’t for my earplugs I think I’d be permanently sleeping on the couch.
sometimes I wish I had my own room. Oh, and happy- what-the-fuck-ever. Too funny.
My husband and I also sleep in separate rooms. And talk a lot in my room. And share a lot of other time together. And DO IT often. Nothing wrong with that.
Rachel McAdams is hott, with the superduper-hot extra “T.” The Dork Brigade is obviously not used to any woman more realistic than Lara Croft–and here I mean the actual pixelated Lara, not the Angelina Jolie live-acting Lara.
As for the Xanax, I hated that shit, too…and Lexapro, and Klonopin (oh god, especially the Klonopin). I do love my Paxil, even though it took me about a week to get used to it–the first week made me feel like a zombie, although it did totally kill my appetite.
Fred’s bedroom looks beautiful. Trapper and I occasionally sleep in different rooms. If it weren’t for the middle-of-the-night sex romps we love (yes, my husband wakes me up at 3 a.m. for sex, and no, I don’t kill him), I might permanently move into the guest bedroom. That man kicks and talks and steals covers (and pillows) like there’s no tomorrow.
What’s with these fuckwads that think Rachel McAdams should wax or plug the hair off her nipples. I suggest they do the same to their balls and see how they like it! Idiots!!!
I love the airbourne picture of Tom Cullen! His little pirouetting toes. And that bedroom color is the best ever.
I tried Xanax, or Valium, or Ativan, or something or other one time. It was wonderful! When the drug took effect, I actually felt a cool breeze go over me and literally turned towards the door, then realized it was the med. I was like “So this is how contentment feels!” So, it was great. For the first dose. Then…nothing. So poo on drug addiction. Doesn’t work for me.
Robyn, do you remember the brand and color name for that paint? it is awesome!!!
As for the separate rooms.. hell, I know of people who sleep in the same room and their marriage sucks and they hardly speak to each other….so who cares if you have separate rooms, I don’t get it…
Xanax is awful and so is ativan… just not as bad… still sleepy and can’t function during the day if I take it at night, never would even think about taking it during the day…
anyway if you can think of the brand/color name please post it…
have a happy holiday..
Kay: I’ll check when I’m upstairs where the cans of paint are, and let you know here, in the comments! 🙂
Just wanted to say I LOVE all the painting in your house.I think it looks professional! I also think a yellow comforter with flowers or some design would totally set the yellow walls off! Blue is nice too though!
I’ll be happy to take Sugarbutt off your hands, if you’re tired of sharing your room with kitties. I’m just.that.nice.
heh
Oh god, I wish I wish I wish that my husband and I slept in our own bedrooms. He won’t have it, he won’t budge, so I will spend the next 40 years of my life NOT GETTING ANY QUALITY SLEEP. You and Fred are my heroes.
My husband and I sleep in separate rooms also. I don’t quite understand the horrified reactions from some of our friends, like there’s something wrong with your relationship if you don’t sleep in the smae bed. The fact is my husband wriggles, fidgets, tosses and turns… and then has the audacity to, you know, if I BREATHE to say “You’re breathing too loudly!” It’s just easier if we sleep apart. I’m mean it’s not quality time together – it’s sleeping. God!
I love the colour of Fred’s room. Any chance you’ll post the brand and colour #?
I love that green. Speaking of green, I’m green envy that you have your own bedroom. Uninterrupted sleep and all the covers just for me… Oh hell yes.
My husband and I also sleep in separate rooms, he has insomnia and sleeps where ever he drops, and I snore like a bandsaw so it just works better for everyone involved. Our marriage is fine I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything, I’m asleep.
So when are you gonna start hiring Fred out for his mad painting skilz?
I watched the Celebrity Autobio. on Bravo, it’s probably one of THE funniest things I’ve ever seen! The Sly Stallone Tommy Lee part was the best. Stallone has so little to write about that he has to describe the contents of his freezer! That’s some talent at work right there.
I think sleeping in seperate beds is a great idea. I can’t wait to get a bigget place so that my sweetie can sleep in his own bed and I in mine!
You know I really think you should hire Fred out on the weekends for estimates and color suggestion, I would hire him..heh.
Love the new Flickr pics too and oh, I got your card today! Thank you!
You know, it’s only 2 hrs from Madison to Nashville. Want to lend Fred to me for a weekend? My apartment could use a good painting. 🙂
I think we need to create a constitutional amendment stating that “real” marriages are constituted only by couples who sleep in the same bed. It’s in the bible, y’know. Anything else is unamerican.
KIDDING!
I would kill to have my own bedroom!! It feels like forever since I’ve had my own room that I could decorate as I pleased and not had to worry about what my husband thought about. Being in separate bedrooms has got nothing to do with the quality of a marriage. We had a similar green colour on our living room walls and yes it does really make the room so much nicer than bland beige. We just moved into a new house and the entire house is painted the same dull boring brown.
Robyn, me thinks that Fred has a new career choice to fall back on when he gets tired of doing what he does now. He is a fantastic painter. I also love that green and am curious about the brand and color name.
We have to do a paint marathon around here. Can I borrow Fred?
That was my reaction to the Rachel ‘story’ too. Give me a break, the woman is LOVELY. So kind of them to super zoom to her breasts and find fault. Cripes, if anyone took a shot of me that close they would have a flipping field day!
Hubby and I SHOULD have seperate bedrooms. I should do the right thing and move into my office. I snore BAD apparently and so does my dog. Poor ‘hard to fall asleep’ husband has a heck of a time. Yeah, yeah, I could kick the dog out but apparently it is ME that is the worst problem… Something to think about for sure.
My Husband and I have been married for 49 years, and slleping in separate rooms for about 15 years. Our sex life is great(yes!! older people do have sex) so no worries there. He claims that I snore and I believe that it’s true because I wake myownself snoring sometimes. It’s getting baaaaaad when you snore and it wakes you up for goodness sake. Plus when he sleeps he dreams and tosses and turns and hoggggs the covers too, so having separate rooms is the best…..I too love your beautiful paint job, that Fred is a gem of a guy!! Love your journal and you and the kittens. Love you too Robyn! Nanamama 🙂
I can’t believe the hoopla over a couple of hairs, either. Give me a break!
Ah….. I sometimes wish we HAD an extra bedroom so we could sleep in seperate rooms. Sometimes my husband drives me nuts when we sleep!!! I love the new colors for all the rooms, Fred’s doing a great job! I tried painting once and will never do it again if I can help it!!!
If they find the sleeping in seperate rooms ridiculous…my parents have some neighbors, that bought a duplex. The wife has one side, and the husband and kids have the other. Think that’s healthy? (however, I would like to marry one of the sons. They must already think Mom is queen, so things would go nicely).
That green was an awesome choice for the bedroom!
Robyn-I checked back to yesterdays comments to see if you ever posted the color/brand of the green paint that Fred used. It was gorgeous and I am going to paint my office that color at home!
Oh, and thanks so much for the cute kitty cat Christmas card. We loved it!!!
:0) Merry Christmas! Kathy
My husband and I have had separate rooms for years, it saved his life. He snores so loud that ear plugs did me no good. I was seriously concerned one night I would finally crack and kill him with a chain saw, I got so fucking angry that he slept blissfully even if I beat on him. Each having our own room rocks! Best thing we ever did. And the ONLY thing we do separately is SLEEP, hello, hence the ‘sleep together’ literal meaning.
Love, love, love the green. And the blue, and the yellow, etc. So if we send pics of rooms in our house, could he pick colors for us too???
I’ve never been married but have often said, forget the separate bedrooms, I’d like to live in separate houses! On the same street probably. Maybe I’m naive, but I couldn’t believe the animosity coming my way when I said it. People are HORRIFIED that I’d want my marriage set up this way. This would work for me and I’m sure there’s ALOT of people willing to work outside the traditional box when it comes to living arrangements if only they’d quit worrying about how other people would react. Marriage is about so much more than where 2 people sleep.
