now that my internet is actually up ...
I will post the random things Ive been accumulating to post:
--The other day I was reading online and someone said "OMSBJ." I was unfamiliar with this internet acronym, so I called out to my colleagues, asking if anyone knew what it meant. Then I hastily explained, "It might not be safe for work, I found it in Alan Cumming's blog," to which one of my colleagues replied, "Then the BJ might be an issue." Meanwhile I was googling it and discovered it means "Oh my sweet baby Jesus," and both of us had to laugh at how utterly off the mark we were.
--Random quote I love from Ke-dollar-sign-ha: "… come on, brushing your teeth with Jack Daniel's: what girl does that? People are like,'Do you really advocate brushing your teeth with bourbon?' I'm like, 'Yes, actually, I do, every day, for everybody. Especially eight year olds.' I mean, what are you talking about? Of course I don't. Come on."
--The BG has been watching a lot of Kai Lan lately, and OMFG, I hate that show. Every episode has some incredibly heavy-handed lesson, and more than half the time RM & I actually disagree with whatever the lesson is. (For example, when Tolee feels left out after he's eliminated in the first round of musical chairs, the show's solution is for everyone to play a different game. RM and I agree that losing a round of musical chairs is not a problem to be solved, it's something Tolee needs to learn to handle. If he can just be patient until the next player gets eliminated, the two of them can play together.) Her preference for wrong-headed, didactic television aside, the BG continues to be *awesome*.
