Because it makes perfect sense for my air conditioner to die on a day that the temperature will reach 105 F. Oh, and also when I'm just about to pay for a good sized college bill. Yeah, I mean that's just exactly how it would happen. Maybe I shouldn't have made that God/Gordon Ramsay joke after all,

I've been remiss in not congratulating my boys for yesterday:

Liverpool FC 2006 Community Shield Winners!

Oh, sure, the Chelsea "fans" will tell you that it's meaningless, but it must have had some significance to them since they put out such a strong side for the game. *grin* Even my Chelski loving glory hunting friend on the Rock admitted that they ( Read more... )

I'm not much of a Star Trek fan(DS9 notwithstanding), and I can count on one hand how many episodes of the Original Series that I've seen. So, some of these posters didn't make sense, but that ones that did are quite funny. Or, I thought so, anyway.

It's interesting to me how we associate ourselves with other things. We can take something personal - a thought, a feeling, a memory - and tie it into something completely removed from it, so that the two become inexorably linked. I've been an Oasis fan for 12 years, ever since I first heard Live Forever. I can still remember exactly where I was ( Read more... )

This is fun, but it took forever to load all the images. Maybe the connection here is just ass today(which is probably the case), but if not - fair warning.

While the story itself is both amusing and disturbing, I think the myriad of links at the bottom of the page bothers me just a bit more.

Holy sacred shrimp, Batman!

ETA - The link about the fish bone is from Oklahoma. Yeah, this is my surprised face.

The book that everyone in the industrialized world should read is now a movie. And, it's not a documentary, but an actual dramatic feature. Count me in.

"There's shit in the meat."

Anti-semitism is a very interesting form of prejudice to me. And, yeah, I'm referring to Mel Gibson shoving his foot down his drunken throat. What's interesting to me, though, is how quickly people rise to his defence. I'm sure a lot of this has to do with his celebrity status, but I can't believe that's the only reason. I think it has to do with ( Read more... )

So, I've just paid for my LJ account. The reason? Icons. I apparently don't feel I can truly express myself unless I have an appropriate little picture to go along with my comments. I now have 39 to pick from. Maybe my words will make more sense.  :)

I know one thing's for certain - I'll start spending way too much time making new icons. If you hear ( Read more... )

I'm a sucker for cute things. Now, everyone has their own idea of cute, of course, but, while my own definition of the word can extend to a few bizarre things, it also includes the popular choices - puppies, kittens, and small children. Actually, I should further define that: small & unobnoxious children, such as the two little rugrats who keep ( Read more... )
