Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, good luck with the apartment hunting.

I find myself oddly disinterested by the whole Jackson thing. I'm not sure why.

This [link] was the very first image on my wall paper this morning (it changes every five minutes). I've decided that means it's going to be a good day.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita! move closer. I say WeHo!

My spam subject lines are getting more offensive. So much so, that I refuse to post them here.

I'm taking action. So if any of you send me anything with the word "cum" in it, I won't be seeing it.

What is even happening?

In other news, Punxsutawney Phil says winter won't be over for awhile.
I'm not surprised, the little rat bastard. Julia's excited. Actually she sort of hates winter, except for the hour or so she's out playing in the snow each day, and during the post snow-play hot cocoa aided meltdown period. She's excited because she "predicted" this would happen. When we came back from taking Benjamin to school, she decided to draw a picture of the groundhog, and decided he would (which should probably be "did" except we hadn't heard the news at the time) see his shadow.

From the ad, it looks good. Hopefully it'll still look good in person.
<edit: and yes, I realize that's totally incorrect use of "hopefully." But I haven't had caffeine yet and that's the best my brain can do.>
What is wrong with the use of hopefully, here?

"Hopefully" is an adverb that means "in a hopeful manner," so it really ought to describe a verb. "Teppy smelled the coffee brewing, and looked hopefully toward the door -- maybe Chatty!co-worker would bring her some."

The way it's used in the sentence above -- which is a common usage -- it really ought to be phrased "I hope," or "I'm hopeful that," etc.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In other news, Punxsutawney Phil says winter won't be over for awhile.

That's because it's still February. Stoopid groundhog.

Are Michael Jackson's children biologically his?

He says they are. (Except the youngest, "Blanket," who I think he's admitted is adopted.) I'm fascinated by the whole mess, but I don't want to start speculating about the ancestry of children I've never seen without masks on.

Are Michael Jackson's children biologically his? I seem to recall them being blonde, which, Debbie Rowe is, but Michael, genetically, NSM.

they could still be blond, even with michael's genes. of course, i wouldn't put it past him to dye their hair.

In the Martin Bashir documentary, doesn't the oldest boy seem to have dark roots and dyed blond hair? I thought the interviewer commented on that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No shadows to see here. It was rainging AND foggy on my drive to work. And Tchoupatoulis was under water. Not to mention my sidewalk. Bad day to wear heels, shoulda gone with the shrimp boots.

My family is not kissy, we're huggers. My in-laws are not really kissy either, but they do the peck on the cheek greeting that I have had to get used to. I feel a little weird kissing other people's babies, but if I'm holding them it sometimes happens. Usually on the top of the head.

I don't know, I didn't see it. I'm just basing my comment on past behavior
