Useless...

Dear Posh and Prince,

I'm not sure if you noticed, but there's a bug right there. Right in front of you. See it? Moving around on the floor? Right there in front of you? Oh, you do? THEN WHY AREN'T YOU CHASING IT?

Useless, absolutely useless...

Karma, both good and bad...

First, Orson Scott Card is pleading for "tolerance" now that DOMA has been struck down. Riiight. I'm sure this has no relation to the fact that "Ender's Game" is coming out later this year and there's already an organized boycott against you. Sorry, pal - you made that bed, and now you get to lie in it (but not with a man, of course). Suck it up.

Conversely, Dustin Hoffman knew exactly why he wanted to make "Tootsie", and for all the right reasons. His personal introspection and his awareness of how society shaped him (and how he could shape society) is a delight.

Finally, PENNSIC IN 10 DAYS OMG.

Wise words from our administration

Remember, kids - if you don't know that you don't know something, make sure to call someone who knows!

SCOTUS wedding day

I didn't change my Facebook picture today to the red equality sign for personal reasons*, but of course I'm watching SCOTUS with great interest today and hoping for a new chapter in marriage equality. Also, I'm in love with Nina Totenberg. :)

P.S. I'm also in love with Ari Shapiro, but that's not news. ;)

Also, this:

“Get married, don’t get married, do whatever you want,” Roberts said. “It’s the opinion of this court that we don’t give two shits what you do.”

“C’mon, let’s go get some food,” added Roberts, as the eight other justices followed him out the door.

*Mostly a personal loathing of HRC for both the positions they've taken in the past and my own personal, visceral dislike of the organization based on people who have worked there in the past.

Papa, indeed!

Pope Francis sort of kind of looks like/reminds me of my dad. WEIRD.

Conservative bigots say what?

So when the gay kids complained they weren't allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts, the radical right said, "There are plenty of other alternatives! Go somewhere else!" Now that the BSA may let local groups set their own policies, are we allowed to say the same? Or does that shoe not fit their other foot?

ATTN: Vidders

Vidders, you know I love you, but when I go searching on YouTube for video clips of a television character, I want to see the show clips FIRST, and *then* I may go looking for your artful, amusing music vids. Please stop showing up as the first 50 searches and disguising yourself as something other than a fan vid! :P

I'm torn

Is it mean that every time I see a Romney sign on someone's lawn I hear this?

Sad trombone...

Oh, Mary, PUH-LEASE...

So sad when people can dish it out so liberally but can't take one smidgen in return...

Another one?

Oh crap. New fandom. May be my first live action OTP. May also be my first RPS. I still blame Stuart.

Celebrity Democratic & GOP Endorsements

I have to laugh at these lists. Democrats have George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg, and the GOP has Ted Nugent, Donald Trump and Jeff Foxworthy. :) (Alright, fine - they also have Chuck Norris, but I can't find anybody on the Dems list that isn't cool in my book.)

Today's funny

OK, this made me laugh out loud:

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husband's libido.

"What about trying Viagra?", asked the doctor.

"Not a chance," she said... "He won't even take an aspirin."

"Not a problem," replied the doctor. "Give him an 'Irish Viagra.'"

"What's an 'Irish Viagra?", she asked.

"It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went."

It was a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress.

The poor dear exclaimed, "Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!"

"Really? What happened?", asked the doctor.

"Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arms, he sent me cups and saucers flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! T'was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!"

"Why so terrible?", asked the doctor. "Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?"

"Freakin' jaysus, it was the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sittin' here, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again!"

I'm heading to East L.A. now...

The world needs more Caine's Arcades, and a lot more of the people who came out to play his games. This really, really made me happy. :)

Oh, Bill...

My take on the Texts From Hillary meme (which is HILARIOUS):

How others see me meme

I was inspired to create my own version of this meme. I hope all my other male executive assistant friends appreciate it. :)

Both of these supermarkets are in my town. Do you think someone might be trying to send me a message?

It's like 'BAD WOLF' but I'm not buying it...Collapse )

OK, I don't post just anything I run across, but this was quite funny. :)

HAPPY SCOTCHTOBERFEST EVERYONE!

Shopping note

You know how you're not supposed to go shopping when you're hungry because you buy too much food? Well apparently I can't go shopping when it's close to my bedtime - I bought a new plush throw, a new pair of slippers, and a Forever Lazy. So sleepy... *yawn*

Music & Me


Over the last couple of weeks I've found myself suddenly listening to music again for the first time in years...

Read more...Collapse )

So that's it. Just random musings about my music from an ex-music major. :)

(Oh, and speaking of Broadway and such, does it make me a bad brother or uncle that I convinced my sister to take her 14-year-old daughter to see Avenue Q in NYC this past weekend? Apparently she's singing "The Internet Is For Porn" all over the house now. Hee hee!)

That was weird

Things I just learned:

  • If you take your shiny new Droid with you into the rest room you will be in there longer than usual.
  • The motion sensor lights in the rest room only last for so long.
  • Having your shiny new Droid with you in a dark rest room is helpful if you've downloaded a flashlight app.
  • Phone camera flashes are bright.
  • Being in a dark rest room with a flashlight reminds me of Pennsic (except for the air conditioning).

How To Pretend You're At Pennsic


Several friends are bemoaning the fact that they can't attend Pennsic this year, so I thought it might be ever so helpful for them if we were to come up with a list of ways they can pretend they're there, right from their own home. I'll start:

  • Set a timer so that a CD of clanking armor and chatty coffee conversation goes off right next to your pillow starting at 6:00 a.m. If possible, have it get progressively louder until you can't take it anymore and get out of bed.
  • Do not go directly to your bathroom - go outside and walk around your house 6 times first. DO NOT FLUSH. Also, do not use any running water (you only get to do that once a day), and under NO circumstances use HOT water.
  • You may use your shower, but put a fine layer of mud and stones in it first. (Again, NO HOT WATER.)


What would you add? :)

(I realize this has been done before, but I thought it would be fun to hear what everyone would add to the list, especially since there are quite a few people who have posted that they'll be attending Pennsic for the first time this year, and they might want to hear what others have to say about the experience!)

The aftermath!


Now that all that ordering is done (I got us down to under $10K), I get to reap the rewards - it's like Christmas around here! (And yes, I ordered a couple of things that I didn't *need*, but will enjoy anyway - the perk of being the "everything but the books" guy! I have a weakness for office supplies in general, and Post-Its in particular...)

Maybe I'll read this to the cats...


Thanks to urban_bohemian for cluing us in that Go The Fuck To Sleep, which is currently the #1 book on Amazon.com in pre-order, is available FREE from audible.com... narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

I'm sorry, did you hear me? Why are you still reading this? GO NOW AND DOWNLOAD OMG!

P.S. He needs to do "The Raven," and every other book ever written.

Saw this posted elsewhere and it amused me:

"Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?

Yeah, me neither."

Go down, Moses!


If Moses had the internet, the Exodus would have looked just a wee bit different (and it would have been HILARIOUS)...

‎"How I love to watch the morn,
with golden sun that shines,
Up above to nicely warm
these frosty toes of mine.

The wind doth taste of bittersweet,
like jasper winder and sugar,
I bet it's blown through others' feet,
like those of... Caspar Weinberger."

That's a long, strange trip indeed!


OK, so urban_bohemian posted about the "America I AM" exhibit at the National Geographic Museum, and I realized I'd never been there, so I followed the link on their address page to get directions.

I swear on Quincy's life1, this is exactly what Bing gave me for directions:

Er, WTF?Collapse )

I believe I may submit this to Failblog.



1Well, you'd need to take that a little more seriously than you would normally, I suppose...

The WTF pajamas!


Forget the Snuggie - be a hopeless lazy bastard *and* keep your butt warm with the Forever Lazy! (Although it does say "Has Zippered Hatches in Front and Back, for Great Escapes When Duty Calls!") They even recommend wearing them outdoors to embarrass yourself, friends and family as publicly as possible.

RAWR!

I'll let you figure out which answer I got


Your loving, wonderful, thoughtful partner tells you he's planned a surprise romantic weekend getaway. He only gives you vague details so you get a general idea of what to pack. Your response is:

"Oh, honey, how sweet! I can't wait to see what you've planned for us!"
