Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I had to point out that the tacos (1) were not served by women wearing those boots, and/or (2) didn't come with those boots like a Happy Meal toy.

Yeah, my urge to run out and buy some was pretty much dissipated by the realization that PT wouldn't be serving them up and available for me to jump after the meal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Vincent Van Gogh Cake

This cake inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night was created by flickr user megpi of Silver Lake, California.

The colors on that cake are awesome but I think Vincent would flip out and smash it if he saw it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That cake looks like a monster.

My sister has changed her email signature to “Better to ask forgiveness than permission." God, I hate that ethos. It goes against my personal code so very much. Anyone pulling that shit on me might get forgotten, but they probably won't get forgiven. Why couldn't you ask permission, anyway? Lack of respect. Betrayal of trust.

I may have forgiveness issues. I let things slide, but it's not the same.

Linda Thorson--silver fox. Check.

So far this week at work they've had two free lunches and flu shots. And people are really nice. I don't think either of my last two places had free lunches or flu shots. Although they might have had nice people.

I'm sayin'. She's foxed up nicely.

They offered flu shots. But not to subcontractors. Which are like 10%. Great call there.

I think I should actually get the shots this year. Meh.

Nobody asked me if I was a contractor. I just walked in and got shot up. Shhh.

What have they done to those Potter kids? Though I admit to a shameful liking of about half of the Felton ones. Okay, maybe not that much shame. And I love the off the shoulder Grint. He's such a coquet. Which doesn't seem to be an English word, but coquette is definitely wrong.

Grint looked fab in HBP when he was in the Gryffindor common room after he'd had that great game at keeper. They showed off his biceps a lot in the movie.

The actress who plays Ginny (Bonnie Wright) has been on the bubble for me. She has great eyes, but a thin mouth. But those shots show off her trim waist and very symmetrical features.

Felton (along with Radcliffe) is one of the young actors I think could create a post HP career.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Update on the balloon boy: [link] Looks like he'd been playing around the balloon and accidentally let the tether go, and got scared and hid because he was afraid he'd get in trouble. His brother had seen him near the balloon right before it took off and didn't see him afterwards, and so concluded that he must have been in it.
