New Home + Fluffy Kitties + Violent Gangs = Reason for Anouchka's Absence

Anouchka Talks has been neglected again because...wait for it...

WE MOVED (again) AND
GOT ANOTHER KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our precious new baby is a 10 year old torbie (tabby/tortoise shell combination???) named Alice. (Sorry, the only pictures I have of her are on my ghetto phone so I can't upload any here.) She is missing part of her left ear and all four of her incisors are broken, but she is otherwise healthy and beautiful and sweet and I love her and she kind of likes me.

Fear not: Betty is still the queen of the castle. However, we are working towards meaningful change in the attitudes between rival forces in the household. Dammit, Obama! Where are you when I need you?!?!?! My life right now is basically like living with a furry version of the Bloods and the Crypts, only imagine that one of the gangs is really timid and hides under the bed every time the other gang crosses onto their turf to eat their food and use their litter box and play with their mice.

I know. It's jacked up.

I love playing L.A.P.D. in a deranged cat asylum.

Mitt Romney: Problem Solver By A Fool's Standards

I know I bash politics a lot because, I'll just come right out and say it, I think they're silly. My indifference to most things allows me the leisurely amusement of getting a rise out of people who are particularly hot on any given subject. However, like most individuals who actually do give a shit, I also have a set of criteria on what I look for in a candidate and -republican or democrat- I will vote for whomever I feel best meets that criteria. But today, I find myself at a loss for words. http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/02/15/146929766/why-romneys-shaggy-dog-story-wont-die While I haven't exactly been a Romney fan up until this point, I am somewhat sympathetic to those under constant scrutiny. I suppose he has faced his fair share. But we do make our own beds, do we not? This is positively inexcusable. I would sooner vote for a chimp in a scuba suit than this imbecile. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to...

Let's be frank...

Habibi and I are not at all fanciful. In fact, every time I try to do something cute (and/or Pinterest-y), I end up frustrated and with egg on my face. So, we've just decided to embrace our straightforward, blunt way of doing things. To give you an idea of how we roll, let me tell you a little bit about our life journey together... On our second date, I told Habibi that I really wasn't interested in ever getting married. Sure I like liked him ("like liking" would soon change to love), but it just wasn't something I planned for my future. Seven months later when he proposed (see how that went for me?), I simply said yes. There was no video, no fireworks, no wild story, no pictures. He told me to close my eyes (I insisted on sitting on the floor if I had to close my eyes because I was afraid he'd push me on the ground) and when I opened them, there he was, on one knee, holding a ring. Afterwards, we kissed and he told me I had co...

Anouchka's Beauty Tips

When asked to share her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn responded with the following: For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. Many of us can picture Audrey Hepburn saying these wonderful things, given her affinity for the simple life and showing charity. However, the true author of this excerpt is often debated. Regardless, it's a nice thought and I find it somewhat inspirational. It's true, I am not the embodiment of beauty, grace and class like Audrey was. In fact, a better description for me might be goofy-looking-socially-awkward-verbally-inarticulate-obsessive-compulsive-domineering-halfwoman. Nevertheless, d...
