Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I am sometimes happy to see all the political stuff on my friends' fb pages--even repeated over and over and over with teh same links, or the same "post this if you..." stuff. Most all my friends are of the same political persuasion as I am, so it makes me smile to know other people out there support the same things I do. OTOH, I mostly read it to be all up in people's lives, and don't post all that much political stuff myself. So, yeah.

That said, I was amused(?) after seeing all the planned parenthood links all day...and then I walked over to Trader Joe's to buy some food, and there was a person trying to get...donations? signatures? for PP. (And for once I was actually able to say "I gave at the office"! And used the company matching funds! Woot!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My homeschooling animus is entirely free from the political spectrum.

I think it's wrong on the left and wrong on the right. If you're Jaycee Dugard it's fucking heroic. But generally speaking, I do believe kids benefit from having less parental involvement. Or, rather, they need a place to develop away from their parents as well.

I don't know how to speak to people in bad school districts, because...move, I guess, is my answer.

(Yikes, I just posted in an Archer-esque rhythm. Weird how certain comedy has certain rhythms, whether it's Cary Grant/Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday, or Gary Trudeau's third-panel joke; fourth-panel ironic-riposte, anti-joke thingie.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I should not be watching 30 Rock at home alone on a Friday night. With my cat.

You really shouldn't. No one should have a cat.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Stick a chip clip in your hair and your good, Jesse.

Possibly I got the wrong message from that episode.

I sentence you, megan walker, to a session with Mister Kitty and Loki.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Chez Zmayhem has responded to a cold, wet February night with: mulled wine, popcorn and a Harry Potter movie.

I must say I kicked ass on the mulled wine and popcorn.

I sentence megan walker to a cat-free night at our house...with her bag of lemons from javachik.

Then the cocktails.

I don't think my hair is long enough! I need to go to an odeon.

They are chock full of malarkey, odeons.

Ack, I used the wrong "your"! Oh, the shame.
