The most boring day ever

[cleolinda]

Not much tonight, but what the hell:

THE FINAL SNACK DEATHMATCH. Reese's cups are dying out there, people!

Birmingham could get up to 3 inches of snow overnight. Naturally, there is panic in the streets.

Electronic cigarettes, what?

Are the photos of Borneo's monster snake real? AHHHHHH.

What Happened to Weird? Paranormal sightings are on the

Yeah, we're under a winter warning here in southern TN, too. I'm originally from St. Louis, so the panic that's going on rather amuses the hell out of me.

DO YOU HAVE THE MILK AND THE BREAD? WE WILL ALL DIE WITHOUT THE MILK AND THE BREAD!

[wenelda]

AND FLASHLIGHTS AND WATER IN YOUR CAR OH GOOOOODDDD.

Yeah, we have milk and bread, heh. And a generator, just in case. The first year we moved down here there was a huge ice storm and we lost power for two weeks, so we've been prepared ever since.

WHAT ABOUT THE BATTERIES *FLAIL*

A Twilight the musical?

Oh Gods, head for the hills everyone! THE END IS NEAR!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I kind of want to try Twilight candy! For the heck of it, anyway.

I'm looking forward to the "Skin of a Killer" show-stopping dance number.

[spacetomatoes]

I see that the opening number is titled "Forks, Washington," and all I can think of is that number in Waiting For Guffman, nothing ever happens on Mars...

I just picture everyone dancing around going, "Nothing ever happens in Forks... No sports or entertainment, or swinging bars... You stand around, you stand some more... boring... boring... boring..."

[meleth]

"No phone, no lights, no motorcars...wait, I'll come in again."

[everstar3]

Ha, I just sent you the Aromaleigh link myself. XD

I may have laughed my ass off when I saw both Sparkle and Dazzle were options.

[cleolinda]

I read the description for "Lustre" and went, "Oh, like Renesmee." *headdesk*

[cleolinda]

Well, at least it's a smidge classier than the Official Hot Topic Edward Body Glitter a couple of months back.

[cleolinda]

Oh, the container alone was hilarious, I'll have to find it.

: “I personally believe the decline in hauntings may simply be because people haven’t got time to see ghosts any more. These days people are always rushing around, playing computer games, surfing the net, and such activities aren’t great for experiencing apparitions.”

Well...okay, maybe. But I think it has more to do with what was mentioned earlier in the article: the abundance of paranormal-related television shows. People finally think they know enough to NOT flip their shit the minute something moves on its own in their house. I don't really see that as a bad thing, but I may be jaded from the number of people who called my group up to come out and investigate their haunting because "the house is built on an old Indian burial ground." Uh, no, your pipes are just rattly. Chill the fuck out.

My immediate, very cynical response was, "Well, technology makes it harder to fake things nowadays." I mean, for the average person--people with more expertise can look at your "ghost" photo or whatever and go, "Nice photoshop, dumbass."

You know what? I can't remember where I read it--possibly Wikipedia under "haunting"?--but apparently carbon monoxide poisoning causes a lot of the effects of being "haunted." Wait, here we are:

In one famous case, carbon monoxide poisoning was clearly identified as the cause of an alleged haunting. Dr. William Wilmer, an ophthalmologist, described the experiences of one of his patients in a 1921 article published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. "Mr. and Mrs. H." moved into a new home, but soon began to complain of headaches and listlessness. They began to hear bells and footsteps during the night, soon accompanied by strange physical sensations and mysterious figures. When they began to investigate, they found the previous residents had experienced similar symptoms. Upon examination,
