Sending the no cancer ma~~~~ to Jilli
This weekend: not sure what else is going on, but someone gave me tickets to see shen Yen , which looks really interesting
He also goes on to talk about how liberals have launched a campaign against the Boy Scouts because they do not allow gay scoutmasters and actually says "Not all gay men are pedophiles, but most pedophiles are gay men. Just like not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims"
Tell me this person's name and address so I can go correct him with a clue by four.
What I've done in the past 5 years? Um. My sister got married. I quit my horrible job and moved to Chicago. I got a crappy job. Got laid off and found my totally awesome job at The Place With No Comma In Its Name. My brother got married. I became an aunt. I turned 30. I went to a crapload of concerts. Bought a lot of shoes.
"Not all conservatives are redneck bigots, but..."
Tell me, why am I looking at pictures of cute adoptable puppies?
This is bad.
Very, very bad.
I will be in heap big trouble if I bring another dog into the house.
It strikes me that when the right goes nuts it never quite reaches the degree of inspired lunacy that use to afflict the far left. An actual quote:
My name is Gandalf the Violet. I shall speak in a strictly personal capacity. As such, I speak in the name of the Elves of Fangorn Forest, the Coloured Nuclei of Red Laughter, the Absent Phantom Political Movement, the Dada-Hedonist Cells, Worker’s Joy and Student Rejoicing, the Schizophrenic International, the Disturbed Clandestine Nuclei, the Chicory Tribe, the Cimbles and all the Metropolitan Indians..
God, how many times do I have to tell Gandalf the Violet - he doesn't speak for
my
Dada-Hedonist Cell....
Just saw Angels and Demons. It was as you would expect, though I think I may have been the only person in the theater to take a big shocked inhale when
one character tore a page out of Galileo manuscript. That is just
NOT OKAY. That being said, Ewan, whom I think is always dreamy
was just meh. The acting felt bad because the writing was so excruciating.
Dad's cath went okay, no complications. But they did find a blockage in one of the graft sites. Mom left no more info and she's at the hospital so I have to wait until she calls me.
