The Susan Boyle internet thing is just like the Kari Farrell Thing. At least with people's reaction.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Happy birthday beth!
I have failed to pay attention to the Susan Boyle thing, but now I feel the urge to go watch the vid so I can at least follow the conversation here. Of course, I should be grading instead.
In breaking grading-related news, this just in: TJs olive oil popped corn is like CRACK. Oops. Buying in may have been a mistake.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Count me in the underwhelmed by Susan Boyle club as well.

I am doing a deep cleaning in my room and moving furniture around. It must have been months since I've dusted and the dustbunnies around the baseboards are ridic. Embarrassing.
In better news I've got a medium shopping bag full of stuff to get rid of.

Trotsky's ashes stolen and baked in cookies
It was a protest by anarchists, who are still mad at him.
Eighty eight years of the day Trotsky directed the suppression of the anarchist uprising in Krondstadt, a group of bandits scaled the walls of his former house in Mexico City during the late hours at night. We broke the lock on his mausoleum and we expropriate the content inside it: a silver large vase that bears the inscription of his name, wrapped in the red scarf that he carried around the neck, containing the ashes of the corpse inside. We replace with care the lock in the monument with a reproduction that was similar in the appearance and escaped into the night.
The vase along with its content then was taken far away to a place where the vase was discarded and the content (a combination of ash and bone) were baked in cookies. These cookies then were sent, along with a letter that explains our actions, to newspapers, to organizations of Trotskyists, and to the groups of anarchist around the world.
