Remember when Val Kilmer was funny and hot? Seems like 25 years ago.... And good lord, that makes me feel old. "What did you say to him?" "I told him I'd put him on the Montgomery Ward mailing list."...I'm quite boring. And by jeans and button down I of course mean spandex hot pants and sparkle tube tops with rainbow sequins. I'm classy. Also, I have to pay for the trip somehow, am I right ladies

Food around the corner for me, oh de oh doh doh doh... If you're not singing along with me on that one, 1) I'm sad that you don't have that ear worm embedded in your brain from countless hours of watching...burst into tears. EVERY GATHERING. She makes this at EVERY GATHERING. Pass that cooking torch, woman, pass it on. My kids literally cry when they see that on the buffet table. So does their mama

" Each epoch not only dreams the next, but also, in dreaming, strives toward the moment of waking. It bears its end in itself and unfolds it- as Hegel already saw- with ruse. In the convulsions of the commodity economy we begin to recognize the monuments of the bourgeoisie as ruins even before they have crumbled." - Walter Benjamin So. Freaking. Beautiful.  (despite the serious context)

1. My nose is totally clogged up. I want to climb back in bed. Who needs to finish laundry, mop, clean bathrooms before they create new lifeforms when you can sleep and be lazy? *raises hand* Oh, that's...he's been fixed. At which point we'll change his name to George Weasley. Hahahaha.) 6. In case you've not seen it, you should as it's hilarious. Hitler Finds Out Obama Will Address School Children.

First, Friday night, the Mr. and I went out to a fantastic restaurant owned by the chef that has trained a few of the Top Chef contestants. We were not disappointed by the food. Holy yum. The Mr. had a... and you should be able to see it with high powered binoculars, if you don't have a telescope. VERY COOL. We'll be watching at 9:25, our local time, tonight.

 Some posh nob on youtube just posted a comment on this song by the blackout crew. " Granted, this music isn't to everyone's taste, mine included, this song is without proper form, and the lyrical content...some talent must be evident, even if it is aimed towards the...er...lower echelons of the uk classes." Lower echelons of the uk classes? Did you eat a dictionary for your tea or what? Nerd alert! Chantel.

Last week I drove down to Austin, met up with my new friend (the one with the pool and brains) and took her to see a screening of Blood on the Highway , a fabulous movie that I'm in. Howls of laughter...to be a short series! Next up: Brooklyn and The Wilderness , the last on rec from swmbo . Thoughts? Comments? Birthday ! Mine is coming up, but my Emily's is the day before mine.

Well, it finally happened: I'm back to using Gnus. I tried out the more 'modern' email programs Evolution and Thunderbird, but I just can't stomach them. It seems weird to complain about UI issues, but... this sort of config can work anywhere — even when I don't have the ability to set up server-side filter rules — without having to run some dumb daemon whose sole job is organizing my IMAP folders

The baby is currently beating the hell out of my bladder and it hurts.   (It normally tickles, quite frankly.) It must be mad that I’m a sucka-foo and was conned into doing something tomorrow night...kill me…” I’m amused, but can’t tell if it is because I’m going to this concert or if it is because women in their 30s are squealing like tweens via email…   Go ahead, keep laughing.

1. I'm sad at how few people got the geek code yesterday, but grateful for those that did. And we shouldn't feel shame. We're awesome. hahahaha. GREEDO SHOT FIRST And if you don't get what that...now in graphic novel form with 5 issues/chapters per book, 60 issues/chapters in all.) 4. There are big changes afoot, I can just feel it. I'm kind of giddy with anticipation, it must be said. :
