I finally got a chance to watch these little puppies (my laptop at home chokes badly, and this was one of the major reasons why I wanted to come to work today).

I had the box set in hand before noon on Tuesday - I am dedicated, yo. (Unfortunately my eagerness cost me yet again - I bought it at Borders, when I really should have bitten the bullet and taken the long trip out to Target, because yes, just like last time, there IS a special limited edition box set with a sketchbook booklet of Tim Sale art from ( Read more... )

Hey, want something else to be angry about? Sure you do.

Illuminating piece in Jezebel that will angry up the blood. Think your insurance plan covers pre-natal care? Are you SURE? John McCain certainly doesn't want to cover that sissy shit. If women use health insurance more - and they often do, getting knocked up and such - they'd damn well ( Read more... )

Find yourself late for everything? Losing your keys? Forgetting your own phone number? Getting into petty arguments about nothing? Problems with your cell phone/internet/computer/getting your mail on time? Uh huh. Retrograde. Yeah, it's just a superstition, but it's fun to blame Nature for how fucked up your life is right now. Religion = passing ( Read more... )

Twentysomethings in New York City scrimp to be able to afford to live there.This would be funnier if they weren't just describing the way I have to live here (salon haircuts and color!

Yesterday, when I got to work, the power was out on our entire block of Milwaukie Main Street. Which meant no computers, no phone, and in our building and the one across the street, no heat and no working toilets, either. The CFO announced after an hour of us DH slaves standing around, smirking and giggling, that if we wanted to, we could go home ( Read more... )

This show is so schizophrenic. Like Wesley Willis. At first it's so mind-scrapingly terrible that you doubt your own sanity for letting it continue. Then it just kind of spins its own web of loopy illogic, and before you know it you're caught up and singing its praises to the treetops. Heroes - a grab bag of Jelly Bellys with a few puke-flavored ( Read more... )

OK, if you've been calling me recently, 503 area code, at odd hours, not leaving voicemail, first three digits 746, DO ME A FUCKING FAVOR AND LEAVE VOICEMAIL and tell me who you are. And also know that if you're calling me at 12:30 AM on a Sunday night, I'm not going to answer under any circumstances unless you're my mom or one of my particularly ( Read more... )
