We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

“Not dead yet!”

Kat, the dresses are absolutely adorable-- I'm envious of anyone who can sew, since I'm utterly hopeless. Doubly embarrassing, considering my mother's prowess.

QoS looks wicked interesting, but then again, I'm a sucker for Bond-- and the Aston Martin. Daniel Craig is definitely of the sexy, not traditionally good-looking variety. Beautiful bone structure and the shot of him coming over the ridge wearing a tux and toting the machine gun are definitely wicked sexy.

And finally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Hil!

Our wings are not tired.

Adorable dresses, Kat. I made clothes for my nieces and nephews, but never for my own kids. Didn't have time once I had kids.

Not a Bond fan, but Craig is a sexy Bond.

Eeep, I hope the waterworks stop soon. Flooding is not fun.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Hil!!

Am I crazy, or is Hugh Laurie a brunet and Boris Becker a redhead?

I got out of bed a couple of minutes earlier than usual because the people on the radio were making me INSANE. It was a woman from Salon bitching about the image of Michelle Obama as primarily a mother. I mean, it is semi-crap, because of course she's had an important career, but she is putting it on hold right now. I wonder if/when we'll have a First Spouse who keeps their own job, and wonder if it will even be an issue until we have a female president. I just don't think it's tenable for the spouse to have their own life.

AND I think it was legitimate for people to be annoyed at how Hilary Clinton went into the White House -- it's one thing to make a case for the spouse to have expertise and a role, but I do think they played it wrong.

Anyway, I apparently woke up ranting.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I wonder if/when we'll have a First Spouse who keeps their own job, and wonder if it will even be an issue until we have a female president. I just don't think it's tenable for the spouse to have their own life.

I think security issues would make it very difficult for a First Spouse to remain in and be effective at certain jobs, regardless of said spouse's gender. Can you imagine the disruption to, say, a high school if the FS wanted to continue teaching AP History?

On the other hand, I think if the FS were (for example) a top pediatric neurosurgeon, it would be a public relations disaster for that person to put his/her job aside.

Happy Birthday Hil!

So one of my best friend's has a cat who was just diagnose with a tumor in her jaw, which is where Pico's tumor was. How weird is that?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy birthday, Hil!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIL!

Oddly, just yesterday I realized my gay boyfriend looks like a skinnier Daniel Craig with bluer eyes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIL!!

DH and I saw QoS last night. He says Craig "just doesn't have that sex appeal Bond is supposed to have." I say he is a heterosexual male and therefore unentitled to an opinion on this matter. Also, YUM.

QoS was fun, but forgettable. Not as good as CR. Too many CGI-assisted chase scenes, not enough nekkid Bond walking out of the ocean.

Hugh Laurie was never a true blond, but it's not naturally as dark as House's either.
