Junk shot!
So. That happened.
OMG! Devin's getting hitched FAQ
OMG!
I know!
Congratulations!
Thank you, but these aren't really questions.
Who proposed to who?
Actually, only one person has asked that. I did, but we've been talking about it together for months if not a year.
How did it happen?
Well...
Actually, it's a fun story which involves fewer trolleys and transsexuals, but I don't want to post it. Comment below and I'll tell you it somehow (e-mail, Skype, etc.).
Have you set a date? Where are you doing it? What are the colors...
No date yet. We're planning on being engaged for a little while, at least a year.
As for the details nothing's set in stone, but I'm sure she would love to get into an hour long conversation about it with you. Please ask.
Want some unsolicited advice on marriage/wedding planning/hot stocks?
It hasn't gotten old yet. Fire away!
...Are you sure?
I don't get flowery much, but yes. She's the woman I want to live with, bicker with, have snotty-nosed children with, and sit on a porch all day with just enjoying each other and our memories and the beautiful day when we're crinkly and gray.
Okay, enough of that. I want to cock-punch everyone involved in the making of this commercial.
Especially the blond haired moppet. Square in his hairless junk.
Who green-lit this shit-fest? Apparently, someone read Harry Potter and decided that Draco Malfoy was the hero. "Sorry your muggle* adopted parents couldn't afford a good vehicle, Potter. What's that about bonding and togetherness? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my living parents paying people to count all our money."
What's with this trend of commercials showing people becoming fellow human-ignoring tech-zombies in a good light? Remember the commercial with the endless spelling bee featuring dead-eyed children reciting letters in a creepy monotone? They used that in the Fahrenheit 451 movie as a warning (it was reciting large products of multiplication instead of spelling). Is this some sort of reverse psychology?
Well, obviously we have a concern troll on NPR. Hide yo liberals, hide yo conservatives, 'cause he's trollin' everyone.
I love Talk of the Nation, but sometimes it depresses me. The hosts occasionally have on obviously lying and/or trolling guests, but don't call them out; yet they call out everyone else all the time, callers included. That's really cool, but why do trolls get a pass? Do they pity them? Are they feeding them for ratings?
The most depressing TotN I've ever heard was shortly after the Haitian earthquake and the Chilean one which followed it. The host and the supposedly expert guest apparently slept through the statistics unit in high school. Two is not a trend. Correlation is not causation. How many major earthquakes per month should you expect (Hint: it's more than 2.)?
An earnest, if belated review of Sex and the City 2. Yes, there are still things to say about it.
I just started reading Savage Love via A.V. Club. I like what I've read so far. The first letter of the column I linked to might have saved me a lot of time rather than learning those lessons the hard way. Then again, there's something to be said for learning by faceplanting.
*Seriously, Firefox spellcheck? You don't have "muggle?"
And I'll spell it "spellcheck" if I damn well please.
