She apparently recycled the aluminum from her tin-foil hat.

Hee!

I'm wondering at Katherine Heigl ending up playing another Is(a/o)bel. She's two for two in her series.

I did a double-take when she said "I'm Isabel-- people call me Izzy". She has been on a made for TV hallmark "romantic poineer" type movie where she did not play an Isabel, but it was not a series.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. It's cold and rainy here. Blech.

This is interesting:

FOXBlocker is an innovative new product that filters out the FOX News network. Simply screw the filter into the back of your TV and never be exposed to right wing propaganda again (at least through FOX News). Using a proprietary technology, the FOXBlocker works to filter out FOX News from your cable lineup.

Protect yourself and your family, or send one to a misguided right wing friend.

Purchasing a FOX Blocker and telling the advertisers at FOX News why you did it will encourage advertisers spending their money somewhere else.

If we band together and tell the advertisers to shut the FOX up, we can help limit the scope, or at least the profitability of FOX News.

Priced at JUST $8.95, the FOXBlocker is a wonderful way of telling the advertisers at FOX News that you are no longer interested in being exposed to right wing propaganda.

I watched Sunday night TV for the first time in about forever last night as I babysat drugged DH. Basketball first of course, then I watched Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy.

Desperate Housewives was very watchable and damned funny. I didn’t have a clue on any backstory or even the characters names, yet still funny.

Grey’s Anatomy was disappointing for me. I like the actors quite a lot, but the stories annoyed me, a lot. The mad urgent scramble of residents trying to find the life saving answer for the beauty queen was particularly eye rolling. It was a shame that I couldn't get into it because the individual characters I liked very much.

I was grateful to be reading a book at the same time.

Alfredo is now, officially (letter from the State Department/Department of Homeland Security) a Resident. He's waffling on the whole citizenship thingy, as he already has two (Venezuela and Spain), but the idea of collectible trading-card citizenships is also appealing.

But yay! 3+ years later, the process is complete. NOW we can start traveling.

Many many congrats, Stunt Husband! my husband got approved for residency just before Xmas, after 4 years of running around and waiting and fingerprinting and waiting some more, and then fingerprinting again, because his finger prints "expired" during the waiting process. He just got his green card in the mail last week, and there was much celebrating. Frankly, in terms of importance, it was a bigger deal than our wedding.

So I celebrate for you both! Tom's almost definitely not doing the citizenship thing though.

I'm rather offended at the protesters who keep comparing Terri to Jesus. And there seem to be a lot. Not just the tinfoil person, but also the signs that are being held up and what I've read in the paper. First, I think that if Terri's feeding tube had been removed at any other time and people were making the comparison the Religous Right would be offended. Or if Terri wasn't a Christian the comparision wouldn't be made and the RR would be really pissed at that.

This situation is not like Jesus being crucified and comparing this mortal woman to my God is offensive.

StuntHusband congrats on Alfredo his officialy Residency.

Well, I was just bitched out by Jehovah. This doesn't happen every day, unless you're me.

Him: GOOD MORNING.
Me: Mornin'.
Him: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID? I SAID, "GOOD MORNING."
Me: And I said, "Mornin'."
Him: DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM JEHOVAH.
Me: Actually, I think you've mentioned that before.
Him: t long stream of obscenities
Me: t lazy blink
Him: t stalks off angrily

OK, this is weird. (When you read the article it gets a little less weird, but still.) A boy lost a foot and both hands while playing basketball. Luckily, they were all reattached successfully.
