It wasn't that long ago (I keep typing ages, and wondering if we've both had e-mail that long...) that my mother sent me a rambly note saying "I'm not sure why I'm up this early this morning, but maybe it's because xx years ago I was just finishing 36 hours of painful labour. Anyway, happy birthday."

She's a doll, me mam.

She is. You just had a birthday too, didn't you? Happy belated birthday, stealthy birthday having person.

Lisa Rinna is doing a rhumba to Neil Diamond. mr. flea just went running from the room going "I can't watch!"

Was that Neil Diamond? I only know the song by Elton John, but I didn't think it sounded like him. Lisa Rinna makes me so sad. She was the cutest thing to come down the pike in a long time, when she first landed on Days of Our Lives. Her boob job isn't flattering, and her lips are now down right scary. It makes me sad.

The most frightening post-surgery/Botox face out there right now is Goldie Hawn's. She's downright scary!

The only weird thing about my birth (that I know of) is that I refused to breath for a bit.

Me, too, tommyrot. They were so concerned about me that they put my mom to sleep (they used to do that back in the day if the baby was in distress in order to protect the mom right after giving birth. What. Ev.).

My reaction to hearing about my birth has always been laughter. If M was trying to guilt me out, I'd have to say it went over my head.

You're just excited about seeing a mammal give birth.

Four Kings: gee, its awful, isn't it? seth is adorable. the chick marching out was funny. the angel singing girls funny. other than that?

The Christopher Eccleston Doctor Who is coming to Sci-Fi!

Damn the basic cable that doesn't carry Sci-Fi!

I wonder if this administration can do anything to surprise me anymore... because this doesn't....

Totally reprehensible. But I'd like a little more verification on this story than, "The Huffington Post has learned..." That's Drudge talk

ETA: I'm cricizing Huffington for posting like that, not tommyrot.

Ok, I've just had the THIRD unsolicited and random (not talking about politics or my lack of career progression or anything) suggestion I go into politics in a week (this time in email.) WTF? I'd suck in politics. Sure, I'm interested in them, from a very sociological perspective- well, and when it pisses me off, I rant- but ???

Maybe I'm giving off warmfuzzycompetentwarrior vibes or some shit.

I told you. I told you, Trudy. But did you listen?

I'm in awe as to how Seth Green can be so AMAZINGLY GOOD whilst all about him sucks. Next time I see him on public transportation I'm asking him out.

But I'd like a little more verification on this story than, "The Huffington Post has learned..." That's Drudge talk

Yeah, good point. It's apparantly still a "developing story."
