Yay, Christmas-tree; yay, Christmas-tree!
We found you at the local Hy-Vee....

And now we're watching Dr. Horrible on dvd - had seen it on the website before, but Keepy hadn't, and Bran owns it. Made of AWESOME.

Travis, Keepy, and I went and saw Avatar today at the Galaxy 16 Cine theater. It was amazingly good. It was hands down the most ( Read more... )

So on my feed on FB I had a post by an old high-school friend about her husband's eloquent letter to the Des Moines register, and I wanted to cross-post it here (with her permission, of course). So here is what Lars Pearson had to say about recent political activities:

Am I the only person who thinks the election results in New Jersey and ( Read more... )

I had over 300 spams in my gmail spam folder, and, as is my habit, I decided to purge them. I opened the folder and scanned to make sure no important correspondence had recieved the accidental Spam Of Death. Nope; 300+ emails, and all about enlarging the size of my cock. Now, for the record, as I have no cock, I am not perhaps the best person to ( Read more... )

keeperofthecats and I have been rearranging the apartment. I want to post a couple of pics when we're done because I like how a couple of things look. I've also got SkellyTon decorated to celebrate our upcoming hop across the pond to visit catmint_1984Today was jerk central at work. I don't know why after a couple of really nice days people become total asshats, but they ( Read more... )

Just finished Meg: Hell's Aquarium. I read the first Meg book years ago when I was in high school. Carcharodon megalodon plus people=awesome, right? Wrong. I remember thinking in high school - and this was even before the travesty of Deep Blue Sea came out - that the book Mega sucked. Unbeknownst to me, in the intervening ten years between my ( Read more... )

One note before I turn this into the three day journal of Easter Triduum reflection:

Taylor Swift's "Love Story (Romeo and Juliet):"
It's lyrical pornography. Listening to it might feel good for a little while, but after it is over, you realize what a hollow and empty experience it was.

Today, at mass, I zoned out in the homily. That's not unusual. But, in one of those proofs that a little education can be a little much for us wimminfolk, I realized as I dragged myself back that I'd been thinking about the Army-McCarthy hearings ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the Rite of Election (the rite of sending from our church; technically the Election will be Sunday at the Cathedral). I get to be the Godmother! I told Keepy I'd be the "Sirius-Black kind of godmother - the kind who was in prison while you were going up, then led you down the wrong path after that." She didn't understand what I was ( Read more... )

If you want to know if there's bad stuff in your peanut butter or other food, you need to go to the FDA's website. It's apparently more than just peanut butter now. There's pet food listed, all kids of deserts, other things. Some are funnier than others.

For example, if you're eating a candy called Bear Poop, Bear Scat, Buffalo Chips, or ( Read more... )
