I love the Acme Klein Bottle site -- they're so cheerfully geeky!

My parents got me an Acme Klein Bottle as a present for passing my specialty exam. I don't think they had any idea what it actually was -- I think that my mom just googled "math gift" or something like that and it came up, and then she emailed the guy who runs the site to ask if it would be a good present for someone who just passed a math specialty exam, and he said yes.

I'm still looking for drawsting jeans. I think Orvis has a pair.

Interesting quote (about Bristol Palin) [link] :

“Families get in trouble all the time,” said Rick Scarborough, a pastor and the founder of the conservative advocacy group Vision America. “From what I see this family is dealing with it honorably. They are going to carry this baby to a full term as a further testimony of their commitment to life.”

"They"?

"They"?

The mother and Jesus?

Those are cute jeans, scrappy.

The pool is the awesomest.

Alibelle, the pants movie can't be this weekend because we're going out of town. So maybe the weekend after that. If it's still playing. If not, we're going to the awesome pool during the day on Saturday and you are welcome to join us.

Burrell, I don't know if all LA moms are insane. I'd like to think that it is no.

I swear by Lucky mid-rise jeans. They're the only jeans that fit my hips and thighs but don't leave me with a four-inch gap at the waist.

I finally shamed myself into folding the five baskets of clean laundry that have been sitting around, in some cases for weeks. Laundry, bah.

I absolutely agree with Obama that Sarah Palin deserves her privacy and shouldn't be an issue.

TOO BAD HER MOTHER DOESN'T

You know? The Democrats absolutely should not make political hay of this. But it chafes the shit out of me that the Republicans are going to. "Hi! We're the Palins. We don't get abortions!" It's annoying as shit.

You mean Bristol, Trudy?

Sounds good, Kat. I'm actually not really sure what my schedule is going to look like on the weekends at the moment until we finalize this infomercial thing. But I should be able to do something soonish.

I guess if I want to continue rock star status I have to go take the laundry out of the dryer and put the wet stuff in. *sigh* I hate folding.

This movie is really strange so far, and I'm not really following what's going on, but the cast just keeps getting more and more interesting: John Laroquette, Bai Ling, Wallace Shawn, Beth Grant, Cheri Oteri, Seann William Scott, Amy Poehler, Janeane Garofalo. By all rights, it should be a comedy. And yet...I don't think it is? I think these people are serious about this movie? But I haven't seen Mandy Moore yet. At least I don't think I did. She might have been one of the porn stars getting interviewed at one point. Has anyone ever seen this movie before? Can they explain to me what is going on?

I haven't seen it, but isn't it supposed to be about Revelation actually coming true as experienced by residents of L.A.?
