Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How does he pronounce "billions"?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Mom's a computer programmer, and The Greatest Step-Dad Evah! is a pretty big gadget/gadget researcher, so they're pretty up on most stuff, but they have no idea what the kids are into- so when we showed them this You. Tube. thing-they were facinated. They've also (well, TGSDE anyway) discovered just how awesome Macs are.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Should I quit my job over glue traps?

My parents have been mac people from the get go, due to my dad and his work. At the earlist point, macs (even the loading from a diskette macs) were superior to what they needed than MS. Dad intro'd me to the internet ( I wasn't impressed at the time! Hah. And yet they've met my internet friends before my uninternet grownup friends this winter!) Mom is learning PCs. There is lots of swearing and me figuring out the PC and the mac and the... for mom.

I suspect they'll never get iTunes. They bought me the gadget at my brother's specs...that's enough.

Crap. I should go to bed now.

I have no idea what that means.

Also, but only interesting to people who watch Dirt and did watch Popular OMG Sam IS Garbo!

Mom has always been PC, TGSDE probably couldn't have cared less, but between me and his friend, he's come to love Macs. They're kinda useless to mom.

They're using glue traps at work. I think they're inhuman and so does (for one example) the San Fransisco SPCA. Unfortunately I live in Los Angeles.

What is a glue trap? Or, if it involves the SPCA, do I even want to know.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Grr. I just finished watching last night's Colbert Report and now I'm all aggrieved with our Tivo.

For no apparent reason, I've been really, really wanting to see "Demetri Martin: Person" (well, not no apparent reason so much as because he's kind of cute in a floopy barely-out-of-college way, plus his YiaYia appeared on TDS once to say what a nice boy he was, and I really miss my YiaYia and feel all misty toward people who still have theirs) for ages.

So I Tivo'd it once, long long ago, and what Tivo told me was going to be DM:P turned out to be a bulky magician who was not interesting and had no apparent YiaYia. So then I checked for future showings, and Tivo told me there were none. So then I scanned through all our saved TDS and Colberts until I saw an ad for DM:P, and then I told Tivo to tape whatever was on Comedy Central at that time -- and it turned out to be some other random comic and not DM:P.

Any other showings at all? I asked Tivo. Nope, never. And shut up and stop bugging me about that boring boy with his graphs and his floppy hair, Tivo snarled.

So what's on the end of last night's Colbert Report? The first 40 seconds of DM:P. MY TIVO IS MALICIOUSLY FUCKING WITH ME.

I have the most first worldest problem ever! I win!...something. Just not DM:P.
