I just finished More Information Than You Require by John Hodgman - it was hilarious, especially the parts about Thomas Jefferson's very special relationship with the mole-men who live in the center of the earth- ahaha, what. And reading it reminded me of WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, which is one of my favorite things ever that I haven't thought about ( Read more... )

Okay, I have spent the last week feeling extremely sorry for myself, but as of today, I am STOPPING THAT, as lying curled up in bed all day, whimpering, is actually not making me feel any better and is in all likelihood making things worse. Self - you will have a beautiful, shiny baby when this is all done - STOP BEING SO MOROSE ( Read more... )

So we are incredibly broke right now, so about a month ago, we shut off the cable. It wasn't that big of a deal, since I actually didn't watch it a whole lot, and pretty much every show is on the internet anyway. But still, it was sort of a bummer, especially for my poor husband, since I hog the computer ( Read more... )

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving - mine was pretty awesome. We went to my uncle's and ate awesome food and played Wii games. The only bad thing was that my Auntie couldn't make it. She recently stopped chemotherapy for her cancer because it's gotten beyond the point where it would help. She's such an incredibly strong person - she fought ( Read more... )
