1). I have a new job.  I'm a writer's assistant.  To protect my identity, I won't say who I work for, but she's published multiple books internationally, so it's kind of a really good job to have lol.  I don't exactly understand how this happened.  For reasons I don't get, she seems to like me ( she increased my pay within the first 5 days of ( Read more... )

MASSACHUSETTS IS SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

We were the first state to legalize gay marriage, and now we're attempting to pwn the U.S. government by saying that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutionally interferes with the rights of the states to regulate marriage within its borders (a right previously acknowledged by the federal ( Read more... )

Obviously I'm watching 1776.  Or at least, I'm watching clips of 1776, because I don't have a way to play the tape anymore.  Boo.  The other day, out of nowhere, my roommate accused me of loving it more than any other musical ever.  Which is funny, because I think I've mentioned it maybe twice to her.  LOL.  But that's okay!  It might very well be ( Read more... )

So I've got that five words meme going on.  Basically, comment with "Words!" and I give you five words that remind me of you and then you write a little bit about each word.  This is what__ashram gave me:

01.  CJ Cregg
What's not to love about Claudia Jean?!  Honestly, of all the female characters I've ever loved, CJ just might be at the top of the list.   ( Read more... )

I was really, really hoping that someone else would take the initiative to write something about how Obama and his administration have defended the Defense of Marriage Act (heretofore known as DOMA) in federal court by equating homosexuality with incest and rape of a child*, by stating that states have the right to ban blacks from marrying whites, ( Read more... )

1).  I watched the much-hyped Glee recently, and I have to say that, while I liked it, I'm totally over some things in the show.  They are a). letting another Fox character be obsessed with Journey; when The O.C. did it, it was pretty funny.  But it's been done, and Journey sucks, so lets branch out, shall we?  b). making another Type A female ( Read more... )

Britain released its "least wanted" blacklist recently.  Included on the list, amongst former Russian skinheads who'd killed at least twenty people, are radio host Michael Savage and God-wants-you-to-protest-at-funerals-because-Heaven's-for-asshats-only "preacher" Fred Phelps.  As much as I can't stand both of those assholes, punishing someone for ( Read more... )

This is going to be a list of really random thoughts:
1.  Why is my Legally Blonde OCR skipping like whoa?  D:  I have a vague memory of spilling something on it, but it looks clean.  WTF.  Side note: I think Orfeh would be a perfect Violet replacement for, well, WHEN Allison Janney leaves 9 to 5.  
2.  I hate American Apparel clothing, but I'm ( Read more... )

Going in chronological order...

A).  Back in 1977, the Carter administration took a bunch of Russian embassy personnel and officials to a Fleetwood Mac concert.   After the concert, everyone ended up at a party with the band where, according to the article I read, the Russian press counselor challenged Christine McVie to a drinking contest.  She ( Read more... )

I started off the week with a video of Tonya Harding bitching about how Obama had said he wouldn't  "pull a Tonya Harding" on Hillary Clinton to win the primary.  Now I'm annoyed as well; at best, I find that language in a political speech to be cliche and ill-spoken.  At worst, I don't think it's worthy language of the President of the United ( Read more... )
