Spring is here!

Ah, yes. The time-honored ritual of smearing the face with the first frozen drink of the spring.

HA!

Fiction World Rocked as Woman Claims No Sexual Attraction to Neil Gaiman:

At a recent book signing, Joan Green, 24, stunned her friends when she admitted that upon meeting Neil Gaiman, she did not find him attractive. “He was nice and all,” she confessed a few minutes after getting a copy of American Gods autographed. “But, he’s not, you know, my type.”

One of Green’s friends, speaking anonymously, said, “She’s lying. Everyone thinks he’s dreamy. Everyone. Even Hillary Clinton.”

Stormy Tombs, author of Britgeeksexgod: The Story of How Hot Neil Gaiman Is, agrees. “This is an obvious ploy for attention. Ms. Green must think she’s pulling some reverse psychology, like he’ll come running to her, entreating her in his gorgeous East Grinstead accent, begging her softly for her love with his full lips and scruffy, occasional beard. It won’t work. He loves only me.” Ms. Tombs went on to say that her book, due out this fall, will feature a scratch-and-sniff page replicating the scent of his leather jacket, a fold-out spread of his autograph-calloused middle finger and several dozen poems about his hair. Tombs claims she and Gaiman will some day marry under a canopy of glittery spiderwebs in an abandoned tube station.

yeah, but there are still basic plot points that send me into a feminist rage black out, plus the part where it's Nikki Wood's fucking coat.

So it is For The Skipping.

I wish they would just stop making him try to play American.

He seemed seamless in The Guardian, but that was a lot slower show.

Squeez Bacon®

Vilhelm Lillefläsk’s Squeez Bacon® is fully cooked 100% bacon. Due to the patented electro-mechanical process by which Squeez Bacon® is rendered, it requires no preservatives or other additives. Each serving is as healthy as real bacon, and equivalent to 4 premium slices of bacon! You can put it on sandwiches, pizza, pastas, bacon, soups, pies, eat it hot or cold (warm Squeez Bacon® on toasted rye is to die for), substitute it for bacon in your recipes, or even eat it right out of the tube like we do! If it’s edible, it’s better with Squeez Bacon®.

In the middle of crazy week:

last night was the aformentioned karate test, tomorrow mac has appointments at the brace people and then the orthopedic surg (x-rays only/tracking progress) and then therapy (so no work for me and no school for him), fri we're getting our baseball on which requires leaving work early and getting him early (plus will mean a later then normal night and very probably no homeowrk getting done), sat 8am pick-up of rental car and then loading furniture and 4 hours on the road.

So tonight is our only night at home and I am going to pick up Eth food so we can have it tonight. Hopefully it will work some magic and make the rest of the week smooth sailing.
