BIONIC PENGUINS!!!!1ONE

CAPSLOCK CANNOT CONTAIN MY ENTHUSIASM.

Sam-I-Am gets her own room filled with rubber stamps on the Imperial Zeppelin for bringing this to my attention.

For my birthday this morning, the pixies introduced me to the Lead Singer function of Rock Band. We made a very good girl band with Ernie's guitar, Curly's drums, and my vocal stylings. Our fashion theme was "pajamas, bathrobes, and bedhead ( Read more... )

Sam-I-Am was good enough to send me some pictures of the kusudama that I made her for Christmas so that I could show you all what I've been doing with my Sunday afternoons, of late:

( Pretties! )

1. Friday made me happy because it was haircut-and-shopping day followed by dinner with the husband and an evening of intensive chatting wherein feliciakw expounded to me her theological argument for the existence of God as evidenced by the existence of Jensen Ackles. I love my friends.

SAM: Did you read xkcd today?

ME: Not yet.

SAM: Go there now! I'll wait.

ME: Wow, that's awesome.

SAM: I KNOW!

IT GUY: Dude, dude, did you see today's xkcd? *caffeinated bouncing*

ME: Yeah, wasn't that great?

IT GUY: Oh man! Oh man, ( Read more... )

SAM: You're singing Kansas again.

ME: I told you, it's stuck in my head.

SAM: What's disturbing is the fact that when you sing it, it comes out not sounding at all like Kansas ( Read more... )
