You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Well, in the most-hated-director's defense, in that example he's at least complaining about something with merit. If he was saying stuff like "I think the costumes would look better if we added rick-rack to all the hems", now that would be more in line with some of the directives we're getting in my IT department.

What is even happening?

ION? Damn. I thought I'd gotten my cousin to quit spamming me, but apparently not. You know, this is my mother's fault. I never gave my email address to most of the people who spammed me. She included me on group emails, and they culled her DL.

Glares in mother's direction

shame that the world's richest nation couldn't organise a p**s up in a brewery

I just had to see this again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

AD was GREAT last night. And my mom, who I don't think ever watched it, asked afterward when it's on and what channel. It took me several episodes before I fully committed to that show.

Is anyone still watching Prison Break? Anyone? Last week's episode (I only watched it Sunday) was so good it hooked me for a few more, though now that they've started doing law stuff, I find myself suspending disbelief with everyone who knows something about diabetes, prison, engineering and tattoos.

What's a "p**s"? All I can think of in a brewery is a putsch.

I'm guessing it's "piss." But putsch makes me laugh more.

Brit piss, a Primer:

A piss up: Going out and getting drunk.

Taking the piss: Joking, teasing, busting someone's balls

I can't even.

A piss up: Going out and getting drunk.

The Brit equivalent of "unable to organize a two-car funeral on a one-way street". Doubt the shrubites could handle that either.

They'd probably just contract it out to Halliburton for a couple mil.

ARGH.

Oh, and also, I'm not sure "Love Shack" is really the universal crowd-pleaser wedding DJs think it is. I mean, it's fun, but it's a bit played, don't you think? I find "Sweet Home Alabama" to be a better choice (though I know that technically? more played).
