Now I like a good crazy local news story as much as the next person, so I was more than amused when tales surfaced last week of a bear sighting over on the other side of town. In some dude's back yard. Up in a tree. On the side of the road. But still, Other Side of Town. Imagine my horror when I noticed an alert at the top of the newspaper's ( Read more... )

Just what the title says, a few random things that have amused me as of late/will be amusing me in the coming days/weeks/months.

Because it's Easter I watch Bible movies. It's (almost literally) the least I can do. (I also eat turkey. No ham though. I don't like ham.) Yesterday I watched The Ten Commandments. It's what a bible movie should be.. big and epic with classy, classy 1956-style special effects... Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner and Vincent Price. I faded out after a ( Read more... )

Every year I'm surprised when I find that it's time for the calendar to turn from February to March. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but something about going from the 28th (sometimes 29th) to the 1st is just weird.

First off, do you know what I hate? The new LJ-cut system! I like the full gray box, not this kind of gray highlighting system. It is not aesthetically pleasing, and that angers me!.

Pre-Heroes! So I am watching the Project Runway finale (I missed the first run while watching the debate), and I haaaate Kenley!

I am supposed to be working bored/sleepy/watching tv so here is a Wordle of the last (I can't remember, but I think it's) eight entries here. I am not sure if it makes words big based on frequency of use, but in both of the ones I did, I got the same word really, really big both times. (Upon further research, that is exactly what is going on: "The ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I was going to post. And then I was lazy. And even lazier than normal, as the entire post was going to consist of scans of actual paper on which I wrote things I was too lazy to type. I scanned one page, then was like "Man, whatever.. I will do this later" and went to bed. This is the new Way My Life Is Going. And then today I come ( Read more... )
