Coyote Ugly and Dogs

Published by Dakota under Uncategorized

Couple of days ago, I had NOTHING to blog about. I had the blogging blues. Jaci had it too. Must be going around. LOL

Now, I’ve got a few spinning and that happened in my bout of insomnia just last night. Who knew so many crazy things were on? I channel surfed and I found myself sickly compelled to stick with a reality show called, Coyote Ugly… It’s on CMT.

Vixen bartender-ette’s all vying to win 25 grand in this bartender competition. The woman who owns this actual bar called Coyote Ugly, is the judge of this contest. Now I’m going to assume it’s based on the movie Coyote Ugly and to be a coyote, one must be a sex kitten with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a pair of hip huggers.

On the rocks, please. LMAO

I was literally astounded at these women being critiqued for not only their looks, but their dancing skills. Helllllloooo this isn’t “Making The Band” with amaretto liqeuer laced kick ball chains. It’s fricken’ servin’ drinks to men who are gonna leer down your shirt. If you have to have the moves of J-Lo while you watch the froth on a beer–I say, call it a day. However, I hear bartenders make some cold, hard cash–so this could be the dream of a lifetime.

Then, I moved onto Dog–The Bounty Hunter. Is it me, or does he look like a WWF wrestler? LMAO. Man, could I sit and snark on this guy for a coons age. Though, his efforts in catching bail jumpers is duly noted and admired–he still need a haircut. His wife had me rolling around on the floor with her very big blonde hair, big boobs and loooong nails. I like them as a couple and I think HW is a safer place because of them. I think…

Then I watched Oh, Baby something, something I can’t remember on A & E. LOLLOL. It’s about this couple who boink (I think it wasn’t meant to be long term) and end up having a baby. Sadly, it was like watching kids having kids. This poor baby needed to go to the parent dept of it’s local Toys R Us and demand a refund– IN FULL.

And OMG–the Lifetime movies are like reading subscrition romance novels. I was immediately sucked into “To Walk Again” and something with a devil in it. I can’t remember the names because they blend, ya know?

Then, I caught some of Judge Alex–who are all of these judges anyway? Judy, Rowena, Alex, Marshall? Nontheless, Alex is a hottie–so I just watched for the eyeball candy. He was kinda cute and not too off the wall.

Cheaters–wow! Who knew there was a show where you could catch your cheating spouse and get some therapy all in the same day on a sidewalk no less? Had I only known, I could have been an entire series of stories for this clan of infidel spotters. LOLLOL

As I began to wax and wane, I caught the last bit of this juicer/blender/slicer thing and I can tell you, that late at night (4:30) you can find a million reasons to justify buying one. The guy who does the info-mercial had me glued to his schtick. Had I not been feeling too lazy to get my ass outta bed and grab the CC–I’d have one today, fer sure.

So, next week, I fully intend to stop whatever I’m doing and catch the stunning conclusion to Coyote Ugly.

Jane and Jayne :)

Published by Dakota under Uncategorized

Okay, so I googled myself today. Something I rarely, if ever do, but gave thought to after reading Karen’s blog and seeing the funny stuff she came up with when she googled herself.

So, I’m skippin’ the light google-tastic and I come across this article on this site devoted to (I think) e-books. Never been to the site the article was on. Anyhoodles, I find this quote from these two women, Jane and Jayne. I think how cute, cuz my next book has a Jane and through the whole daggone thing I kept spelling it two different ways. I had to globally search to correct it. Dimwit that I am.

Anyway, they were talking about their blog where they’re going to do e-book reviews. They said this about me (hence why I came up in google)– “As for Jayne and me, these are pseudonyms. We are trying to maintain some online anonymity, or else I don’t know how we can continue to review books with the title Chunkybuttfunky by Dakota Cassidy (which really strains the maxim to “not judge a book by its cover/title”)”

My first thought was–oh, would you lighten up? It was. LOLLOL. I know it’s a crazy title, but it’s the heroine’s user-id on an online dating site and ya gotta admit, it’s not exactly another My Beloved__ fill in the blank. Snort. But that’s okay–everyone can have an op. It stirred up a lot of comments with the unusual title, so this wasn’t ground breaking news.

Then I thought, holy hell, I’ve kept two people in anonymity because I’ve embarassed them with my title choice. Apparently, Jane and Jayne are a lawyer and a doctor respectively. Their blog is going to contain e-book reviews. I say, YAHOO e-books. The more press the better. What I didn’t get was why they felt like they had to remain anonymous. I changed my name not to protect anyone. I don’t care who knows what I write. My sons could careless. I changed it because my real name is on par with something like Buelah Montoya and NO ONE is going to buy a book from her. LOLLOL. I also changed it cuz it was damned fun. However, what’s the big deal about reading a naughty erotic e-book if you’re a doctor or a lawyer? I dunno.

I’m sure they have their reasons for not revealing their real first names. I’m good with that and I’m even okay with the mean stuff they said about my title. LOLLOL I’m hoping their reviews aren’t bashers. I kinda think that’s mean, but so far, the couple I’ve read were nice enough. You can hate a book–or even a title (I’m grudging here, ladies. LOLLOL), but I hope that that whole “let’s set it on fire” theory isn’t something they’ll practice–again, it’s okay to have an op. So if it turns out that way, then, I’m cool.

So, go take a peek at Jane and Jayne–or Dear Author at http://www.dearauthor.com/. They support e-books and no matter how they feel about my title–I’m behind that 100%. Check them out for yourself and read their upcoming reviews on some of the e-books they’ve purchased just recently.

Dakota–of the maxim strain on one’s anonymity. LOLLOL

I’m kidding :)
