Torchwood ghostie!

Oh my. Jilli goes to Cardiff to capture John Barrowman for my birthday present and Google happens to see her there.

Now Google is freaked out and my surpirse is ruined!

But the Internet tells me Toyota really stretched out the Rav4 since then, put just under 7" more between the wheels.

Yeah, since I got mine (a 2001) they did (sometime in the past couple years)--I like mine *because* it's short enough to parallel park. It's super easy to fold down the seats, and in theory to take them out, but I never have. I know my mom has taken the back seats out of her CRV many times to haul around gardening stuff. Though at that point I'd think you'd want one of those ones that's easy to wash out.

ok, a big sign with pictures of LOL Cats all over it that says OH HAI GUGL!

This? Is brilliant!

Today's lunch was uninspired--the cafeteria just had Chinese that wasn't too appealing, and I just had the salad bar yesterday, so it was chicken salad sandwich today with an apple and an orange for afternoon snacks.

Do people think the website PimpThisBum.com is insulting or exploitive?

It's the story of a couple of people helping one guy. A homeless advocate is dismayed, because it's not the kind of thing that could help very many people. So what?, I say. It doesn't have to be all big programs. The basis of charity is what one person can do for another person. It's counter productive to discourage this kind of thing because it won't help enough people. And if the bum of the story isn't feeling very exploited--and he certainly seems intelligent enough to be able to tell--then I don't think anyone else should be getting all sensitive and outraged on his behalf.

then I don't think anyone else should be getting all sensitive and outraged on his behalf.

but that is the basis for many good kerfuffles - being outraged on behalf of someone else.

I have SUCH an Obamacrush. How freaky it is to be all goofy-smile over the President!

Totally freaky, yet you are in good company.

I think my nail polish obsession finally tipped over into scary. I just sent email to a style columnist giving her (better) advice on some of the reader questions she'd answered last week.

That I know where someone can find a discontinued shade of a polish I don't actually like in a formula I hate is somehow wrong.

You are a total freak, I'll bet you don't like cheese either.

I'm being foiled (I think) messed with by our fancy new copier/printer/scanner/fax/coffemaker/microwave/vacuum. I'm trying to send the agreement to the change in price in and I follow all the steps but there's never a point at which it tells me it suceeded. And it is really quiet, so you can't tell it is working. Feh.

eta: realtor called to tell me she got it.
