Wow. I spent a lot of money yesterday. I think I have heartburn from it.

Actually, yesterday was really fun (because it was spent with puddingsworth)! We went to the downtown market and each bought local honey (I splurged on the kind with honeycomb in it, which I've been wanting to try). Then we had breakfast at a little joint that's been open since Mom was a ( Read more... )

There are bad episodes, and there are cop outs.

( 'Swan Song' is a cop out. )

My mother flipped on my laptop only to be greeted with a kernel panic, so my brother ran the Apple diagnostic and something was up with the GPU. I called the helpline only to find my helpline warranty (or WHATEVER THE HELL) had expired. To talk to someone, I would have to pay $50.00

I threw a fit.

It's an issue they recognize, but they still ( Read more... )

I'm officially home again after four great days in Austin, but Wednesday, I walked into the office just in time to catch a conversation about racism.

Not a good way to start things off.

Point #1: Mark Twain books should be banned because they're offensive and racist. Let's take a vote: who thinks that's the stupidest thing you've ever heard? ( Read more... )

Wednesday afternoon (which is when we film the paper's webcast), my two anchors and an editor began discussing the WORST POSSIBLE SUBJECT EVER: religion.

Dear China,

First the fake fireworks, and now this Milli-Vanilli BS? You chose to fake Hymm to the Motherland instead of using the girl who could actually sing it? Because she wasn't cute enough, and she didn't "portray the image that the Chinese wanted to convey to the world ( Read more... )

This is Louis Vuitton dime night
So we gon' do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blond dyke.

This is Kayne West's Stronger. Apparently, "they" will do anything for a Klondike.

I wonder what his standards are when it comes to lyrics. Apparently... nothing.

Last night, puddingsworth and I went to see The Hairy Ape.

That was the first mistake.

We weren't sure what to expect (there was very little plot synopsis on the posters and programs), but I gathered it was, to some extent, about an ape. I figured, Hey, primates are cool, while my brother warned me (repeatedly, which only makes this worse) how bad the show ( Read more... )
