Newsflash!

Beg to report: pastel-colored Easter M&Ms have bunny-faces drawn on some of them, instead of just "m". Actually, it is a bunny-face where the eyes and nose are an "m", with a smiley underneath, and whiskers and ears in the appropriate places. So, not really a bunny-face at all.

Sadly, finding these does not win me a million dollar prize.

Ellen is teh funniest. (I was the one trying to teach her how to make lentil soup.)

In the case of leg-warmers, the question is: Why does the world love ugly?

Why does the world love ugly?

Mercury contamination in the water supply.

Results of diving. Because my projects all require me to talk to the boss, who's swamped with other stuff right now.

Madrigal: According to my first source of pregnancy information, my mother, morning sickness does not exist, nor do most symptoms of pregnancy. They're media lies. Labor does not hurt - it's merely discomfort because laziness results in muscle ache - it's just like how someone's arm would hurt if they tried to lift weights for the first time. If labor takes more than five hours, you're doing something very wrong. Pregnancies that run late are the result of negative attitudes. Some of these theories stem from her vocation as gym teacher, and the fact that if she didn't experience something, she reasoned that it must not exist. (And it is the family theory that Baby #6 adopted her bizarre position in utero just to spite her mother and require an "unnatural" c-section.)

Matt the Bruins fan: It's not pleasant to wake up and realize that your best bet to see positive change from your government is for the Rapture to occur within the next few years.

In honor of the day:

Madrigal: Woohoo, able to sneak into the ides, apparently just in time to catch the big stab fest - I mean, that is how one has to end an ides. It's traditionical.

Here, Caesar, Caesar, Caesar....

Well leg warmers are, like, totally coming back into style.

It's horrifying, really.

I recently saw four different varieties of boots in a shoe store that were made to look like boots with leg warmers pulled over them. Do you remember those boots? They're even worse than actually pulling leg warmers over a pair of boots. Outside your acid washed jeans.

Excuse me, I think I need to go throw up a little.

They have the sweatshirt with attached button-up-shirt collar again, too.

They're keeping me wondering if he's deaf.

they keep me wondering if he owns shampoo or a hairbrush.

They have the sweatshirt with attached button-up-shirt collar again, too.

Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when the Lacoste shirts turned up their collars. The fashion world makes it now.

I saw a guy wearing a Polo shirt the other day, and wondered if it was just coincidental that I hadn't seen any of them in, say, 15 years. But no, it was a harbinger of the apocofashionlypse.

Can torn up sweatshirts with the seams on the outside be far behind?

What's sad is how much delight I took in all of these horrors back in the day. They were perfect with my big hair.
