It's nice to have Teddy around. I say that first-off because it's so important. He gently helps me remember, when I'm worked up about something, that I'm lucky to have the luxury of being upset about the small things. And it's true! All-in-all, it's a good day for me ( Read more... )

In, say, a television drama, it is "safe" to have some good and some evil characters. The evil ones act out of some twisted self-interest, the good ones act out the light of god that is shining up their assholes. I don't like television dramas. I do like Stargate Universe, and not just because the Stargate franchise is an excellent one ( Read more... )

I hate to be a downer, but things tend to suck lately. I am met with frustration time and again. Every silver lining has a cloud. I need a pick-me-up in the worst way!

I'll be honest with you: there is more good than bad. But some mornings doesn't it just seem like we're trying to find our merry little way, but only running into walls?

I like to drink.  I truly, truly enjoy a good craft beer, a lucious bottle of wine, or smooth spirits.  I crave a nice cocktail, even.  I'm not a drunkard, just appreciate an excellent drink.  So it was a bit of a blow when I read that my 6-Mercaptopurine (Meerkat Top Urine? Metaporcupine?) can cause undue liver damage when combined with alcohol.  ( Read more... )

These cookies are so perfectly delicious, and yet so hellishly difficult to make, that it may rend YOUR VERY SOUL in twain!  I hesitate even to post it, but I can't let my adoring public go without these wonderful tea cakes.  They are the model of elegant restraint - very lightly sweetened, with the flavorings shining through bright and clear.  ( Read more... )

Like a post whose subject says exactly what it will be about, the movie 9 was a bit of a disappointment.  I shouldn't be surprised - the reviews are kinda negative, and I'm half interested because of the song they used in the trailer.  Still, it could have been so much better.  For one thing, it could have had a real ending.  And I'm not implying ( Read more... )

With all the recent talk of the Fijian dictatorship's rabid attempts to preserve the integrity of its fucking Fiji Water brand, I can really only think one thing:  "Don't you fuckers know you're despoiling Lister's dreams?!"

I wake up.  Ok, normal.  Wait, something's tickling my leg.  Utilize other foot to go squish-squish down to my ankle - hey wait, I think I squished something!  No, probably not.  That's silly.  Get up, go to the bathroom, discover black pieces of unknown, squished bug on my ankle.  Ugggh ( Read more... )

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

But do you think the people who wrote that Band Aid song knew anything about Ethiopia?  It's notable for its Christian roots stretching back to the first century.

I THINK THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS, YOU MORONS!
