Brittany's Top 3 Public Transit Adventures

In an effort to avoid killing people i choose not to drive. This means that out of necessity i use public transit & it's my experience that the city of Calgary only employs crazy people as bus drivers, for instance, yesterday the driver was rambling to no one & in letting someone onto the bus said
"I was going to go to Banff but then i had to come & get you guys so..."
Last month i sat next to a 40 year old man who had Britney Spears' "Womanizer" blaring from his head phones. There is a well known homeless guy in Calgary who leans in so that he's 4 inches from your face & asks you how your day is, he once showed Hayley pictures of himself with various girls at the zoo. My opinion? He rides transit lines all day long & just never gets off, really why would he?

Environmentalism Isn't Really My Thing.

SPANKY!

So my heart was completely broken when i recently found out the adorable child actor who played Spanky on the Little Rascals now works at Wal-Mart. He doesn't even work as like a waiter or a bartender or something... he works at Wal-Mart, like stocking shelves and greeting people with happy face stickers. WTF OBAMA! Fix the economy quicker! Give fuckin Spanky his pride back.

Working Girl.

Postcard poem being submitted tomorrow. Wish me luck friends.

Home is where your heart is, where your art is.

Where the breaking point moves like a hurricane

leaving the rubble of our lives in its wake.

The egg white sofa covers stained with

the sleeping bodies of children

who ache & sway like grown ups

resting away the stench of liquor & shame

Home is where Anderson Cooper is

singing the praises of the war torn diplomats.

The kitchen floors don't creak & they're always clean,

the room full of the stainless steel appliances

my mother never taught me how to use

& i know i don't belong here like the smooth rumble

of spanish hymns

all hips & breaded meat & femininity

Home is where the heart is.

Home is where the art is.

& Now For Something Completely Inappropriate

So it turns out prostitot Noah Cyrus, Miley Cyrus' (you know the really good role model?) little sister, is coming out with a new line of lingerie for children 0-12 years old. LINGERIE. Do children wear lingerie? Is that acceptable now? Between that and the Bratz dolls i think I'll go ahead and pickle my uterus now. Put it in a sparkly earn above my bed and sleep soundly beneath it. Without the pitter patter of a child size stiletto's marking up the hallway & shitting through the diaper thong. If you have doubts about the fact that every after school activity has been infused with a Lolita vibe... Here is a seven year olds dance recital that will make you want to mutate your genitals.
