Okay - I like Twitter, mostly, but everyone has that ONE FRIEND who tweets just way too damn much… or tweets dumb stuff… or tweets self-important stuff… but these are hilarious!! —> http://tweetingtoohard.com/
Nothing gives me more joy in the morning while I’m trying to find parking in the garage next to my building than being stuck behind some buttbrained jackwagon that is desperately trying to squeeze his Mother-Nature-Raping SUV into one of the parking spots which is clearly marked “FOR COMPACT CARS ONLY” - when there are a myriad of properly-sized parking spots available and...
People make me sick...
Which is why I don’t eat meat and only buy any dairy I consume from local farms —> http://www.petside.com/petsideblog/2010/06/scary-cow-abuse-uncovered-on-o.php?obref=outloud&obref=obnetwork
Well, poo. That didn’t work, did it??
Try this link. <— It is an owl. An owl enjoying a face massage. I can dig it.

– Rod Serling, following “Deaths-Head Revisited,” a Twilight Zone episode about the Holocaust (SUZ NOTE: I am a huge fan of both Rod Serling and the entirety of The Twilight Zone, and certainly knew Rod Serling must have been a remarkable individual to be able to write the way he did. Must...
Andrew got me a shirt. With an angry burrowing owl on it. And it says “NEEYAAH!”
BEST. PRESENT. EVAR!!
Seriously, Christmas this year was so much better in comparison with last year… no fighting, no tears, no ridiculousness… mostly good times with good people. I cannot complain.
And we got to see EVERYONE, too! Since Dad and Eileen opted to more or less have an...
Well - looks like I’m the soloist on Christmas Eve - the normal soloist is apparently very ill, and my name got thrown into the ring as a sub.
Grateful for old friends. :)
So… I’m feeling a little better. Made tonight productive by putting the second coat of paint on the powder room. I think one more coat, and that’ll do it. It’s a very pretty, deep rust color. I hope I feel the same about it when it dries!
Now, I’m relaxing and enjoying a cup of orange spice tea with honey and a splash of red wine - which I humbly submit to you as...
The solution!!
Aw, I nearly forgot about Festivus! Maybe it’s a “Festivus” kind of year for me. I’ve already aired my grievances. —> http://festivusbook.com/
Depression at its finest
So… I’m going to go ahead and admit it. I’m not liking Christmas this year. At ALL. I’m completely indifferent to it. I don’t mean to be a Grinch about it, but apart from going to some fun parties, it’s been a mostly aggravating and depressing affair. The days leading up to the holiday have been delicately laced with the societal pressure to buy gifts,...
Pretty sure I’ll have this at the New Year’s brunch. —> http://www.egg-nog.info/Vegan_Egg_Nog_Drink_Recipe.html

Give you a hint: it was written in English by a very famous Jewish songwriter!
testing yet again… blabbity blabbity blaaaaaahhhh
Maybe it needs a title?
I usually post with no title. Maybe that’s the problem..?
Trying again - hope this works - a little tired of this…
Nope. Still effed up. Time to be a squeaky little wheel!
I guess email posting is still effed up. I am going to try reconfiguring to see if it works.
Seriously, I’ve made something like five email posts over the past week, and only one has shown up.
Bah.
Testing, one, two, three… is this thing on????
You might say that.

I’m not sure what I like better: the ad at the beginning of the video (“Cats Montaging CAAAAAAAATS!!”), or the video itself..??

So incredibly glad that Delawareans had enough brain cells to rub together and did NOT vote for this woman to represent our state… click if you dare —> http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2010/12/08/ac.ridiculist.christine.odonnell.cnn?hpt=Mid
Really, REALLY feeling Pop-pop today. Between the anniversary of Pearl Harbor yesterday (he fought in the Pacific theatre and was a decorated soldier, including receiving a Purple Heart), and my grandfather’s birthday today (he would have been 78 today, I believe), I acutely miss him and yet… I feel him, same as I felt him standing in the doorway of the bedroom at Pine Brook during the...
Really glad I decided to not go on Nancy's cruise.
Really, REALLY glad. —> http://www.comcast.net/video/luxury-ship-loses-power-in-antarctic/1688805550
Far be it from me to judge...
…but… http://offbeatbride.com/2010/12/hollywood-jedi-driveway-wedding I mean, I guess if it makes you happy, then GREAT! But… wow…
Having a lazy night tonight… and I think I’ve earned it, quite honestly. I spent a good bit of time over the past few days, bustling around and cleaning and generally just getting stuff done in preparation for the New Year’s Day open house that Andrew and I are planning. Really hope it happens, as it’ll be fun to have company during the holidays. But - all that fun...
Courtesy of Rob Brezsny: TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Butterflies recall at least some of what they’ve learned during their time as caterpillars. The metamorphosis they go through is dramatic, turning their bodies into a soupy goo before remaking them into winged gliders. And yet they retain the gist of the lessons they mastered while in their earlier form. I see something comparable ahead for...
The more comments to CNN articles I read… the more I am convinced that this nation’s going straight to Hell in a handbasket. Bunch of kooks.

Oh good grief. —> http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/30/dueling-billboards-face-off-in-christmas-controversy/#comment-179194 I don’t believe in the Christmas thing, either, but I sure as hell wouldn’t spend $20,000 to put up a smarmy, insulting billboard to prove it. These people are not athiests; they are anti-theists. And they suck for being ignorant and intolerant, just...
