7:03a - rej the cranky
it's so pleasant to just sit here at the PC in my oh-so-comfortable pajamas, my hair resembling a rooster's comb because i haven't showered yet, my stomach full with breakfast. my mother's modeling a new skirt she bought because she's going to a friend's 25th wedding anniversary on Sunday evening, and she's borrowing my strappy black shoes. role reversal: usually at this hour of the day, i'm the one preening and posing in various outfits and shoes while she's at the PC, checking her mail, typing an article, or writing to my dad. cute. right now i'm the old fogey, and my mother's got a gimmick on Sunday. wahehe.
it often amuses people to see how i interact with my mother. in malls, restaurants, even among friends and relatives, others think we act more like sisters than mother and daughter. makes sense -- she looks younger than 48 (turning 49 in December), and i look older than my 21 years (people always think i'm 23, dammit!). we joke around, ask each other's opinions on clothes, accessories, make up, even food. she often jests that i obviously don't respect her, because i don't treat her the way an obedient daughter should. i tell her, "well, you don't act like an old fogey either, so why should i treat you like one?" to which we both laugh and go about our business.
she borrows my clothes, my make-up, my jewelry. i can't borrow her shoes though -- chunky wedge heels and closed toes that aren't pointy are rather too adult for me. :P but i like helping her pick out clothes for herself. "don't wear that Ma, you'll look like a matrona." "ew, mother! not those shoes! i know you like being comfortable, but ick!" "motherhood, you're not wearing that."
ahehe. cute.
i really ought to go and be the adult i'm supposed to be, and get ready for work. ugh, more editing. blech. oh well, i take consolation in the thought of starting weight training again on Monday at CSB's weights room. wahahahaha, super rej pumping iron and scaring the bejeezus out of the few men who go after her. dagnabit, i'll end up with no man in my life! ;P

4:25p - news bulletin from my friend Jol
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - A woman in Cambodia has given herself up to authorities after accidentally killing her husband in a scuffle in which she squeezed his testicles until he fainted, a newspaper reported Friday.
Saut Chin, 46, was fed up with physical abuse from her husband when she grabbed his testicles until he passed out in the incident Tuesday, the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported.
Fearing that her husband, Ouch Yan, 52, might regain consciousness and start beating her again, Saut Chin tied his neck with a scarf to a bed, the newspaper said.
The exact cause of Ouch Yan's death was not known.
The incident occurred in a village near Sihanoukville, a port city 115 miles southwest of Phnom Penh, news reports said.
Saut Chin and her husband Ouch Yan, 52, were arguing when the husband then kicked his wife in the crotch, the reports said.
"Hurt badly and fed up, she grabbed her husband's testicles and squeezed them with full strength until he fell unconscious on the spot," Rasmei Kampuchea said, citing police reports of the woman's confession.
After discovering that her husband was dead, Saut Chin reported herself to local authorities and asked to be jailed. She said she had not intended to kill her husband "but only to teach him a lesson," according to the newspaper.
