Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

so what is Pluto?
Maybe not a planet anymore, according to the Science Channel show I watched last night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wonder if enough moviegoers will find male cows with teats "fucking funny" to make this movie its money back.
Alas, probably.

I don't think it's possible to feel worse based on an NY Times article.
The sinus headache!migraine part was interesting but didn't make me feel worse. The depressing part is the vascular involvement. Before I was in blinding pain. Now (well, not now now, but more generally now), I'm in blinding pain and can expect to die earlier of a heart attack or stroke, which is a little depressing when I think about it. Of course, with the blinding pain it can be a bit hard to think, so maybe that's not a big deal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I lost at least two grandparents to strokes. My parents and sisters have all been medicated at one time or another for high blood pressure.
Mine's distractingly low. I choose to view this as a positive thing.

'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"
While I'm of course disturbed by male cows, I'm also dismayed at the tendency of Hollywood animation to characterize worker bees and ants as male. That just ain't right.

I'm just boggled at the idea of a Disney exec promoting one of their movies with the praise "fucking funny."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I watched BB. You know who I love more than ever? Danielle. I have always only liked Will as a character on TV, not as a person. He's totally evil! This is why we call him Evil Dr. Will!
Also, the producers are really playing dirty, I think. People aren't having fun anymore. And they're what, half done?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I figure unless I take up skydiving or spelunking as a hobby, I'm quite likely to go out by stroke. It's actually kind of comforting, as I'd rather have the cerebral M-80 pop and put me face down on a desk in my 60s than suffer the physical infirmities and senility that might happen a decade later.
I'm not quite confident enough to stop contributing 401K money, though.

Steve Oedekerk isn't so much a Disney exec as the guy who wrote Kung Pow, Barnyard, Nutty Professor, Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura, Nutty Professor.
