Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Art Crawl!!!

I think that the undamaged Angel puppet sold out.

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

Wow. I wonder how they're going to narrow down that list of suspects...

One of the dudes I work with (whose email box is always full of this spam) said that it's more likely about the competitor business in Russia. His former pupils started their own English school and it's been pretty nasty.

What is even happening?

Dang! These guys are harsh.
Wow. I'll say. That bit about the Harry Potter paying him a visit is really kind of callous, considering the man is dead.

Does he mean like a Russian mob thing, or just legit business?

Not a very clear line, actually.

2. They have a battery powered vibrating razor for women. It's called Venus Vibrance [link] and my mind goes to a bad bad bad place whenever I see the ad.

They have a what now? How does a vibrating razor do anything but cut you to ribbons?

I'm a little appalled by the jokey responses in the media to the spammer's murder. Sure, everyone hates spam, but I'd think very few people actually consider it a killing offense.

Kate, where's your tag from?

Russian media...well, you're dealing with a different sensibility here in terms of what offends.

brenda, it's from Wet Hot American Summer, one of the greatest movies ever made.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday Kate! I expect you'll get your fair share of cake.

Ciao Bella's texture is off. It's weird on my tongue.

Huh. That's what I dislike about Mondo Gelato. It's like different people can have different tastes. Literally. That can't be right.

But I also think the flavors at Ciao Bella are more exquisitely delicious.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Kat!!!

Also...do I really have to take a damned vision and knowledge test to get my CA license? Really? I've had my license since 1991, for chrissake.

I had to. CA was the only state I've moved to that required the knowledge test.

Ohio makes you do this, too. As well as getting an Ohio TITLE for the car, an e-check, and taking the tests--ALL IN DIFFERENT FUCKING LOCATIONS. The Ohio DMV is high on my shit list, even after seven years.

I'd rather swallow glass than drive any length of time with a cat. When we moved to Ohio, Bogey didn't take the three hour trip well. He leaked from both ends and had this eerie, high pitched cry. I had no idea he'd get so carsick, else I'd have gotten something to sedate him, poor thing.

Dammit. Work is stressing me, even though I'm doing lots of work stuff that needs to be done. Feh.
