You know when you're growling "fuck your motha! fuck your motha!" at the computer at work, you should probably have a day off or something. And fortunately I do, tomorrow. I'm a pretty bad Philadelphian and don't really care about all the Independence Day festivities--but apparently there's some kind of giant cake made out of 10,000 (YES) Tastykakes (they're from Philly, doncha know), so I basically cannot say no to that.

The purse meme! You know you love it!

( I waited until I got a new bag to do this; I have no shame. )

Gmail basically won't give me my mail, which I don't appreciate. I mean, that's kind of its only job. Like the Magic 8 Ball saying "ask again later"--what, are you busy doing something else?? [/stolen from some stand-up person; I forget who]

We have this new book at work, How To Feed Your Family For $75 A Week.  It's a reprint of a title from about 1993, How To Feed Your Family For $30 A Week -- something about Labor governments seems to inspire that sort of thing, I guess.  It's full of useful tips like reducing the fat content of your milk by adding water, and using the same tea bag three times. 

The best bit, though, is the opening chapter, which claims that "so-called 'progressive' social legislation is driving up food prices".  Yes, guys, gay marriage is the reason your groceries cost so much.  And multiculturalism, too.  Good stuff.

OMFG. I'VE JUST WATCHED DOCTOR WHO "THE STOLEN EARTH". I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT. WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

Spoilers for "the Stolen Earth"
YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!!!!

 

Happy birthday shadow_in_eden and ihazatardis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut up, it's been really funny this year.  BB has persuaded the housemates that they have a mole in their midst -- they don't, but it's funny watching them turn on each other.

Bridget, possibly the most stupid human being on the face of the planet, sat down on the couch and cried, "But what if I'm the mole?!"

Stupid as a carload of monkeys.  Bless.

ETA: Now suburbannoir are watching Twin Peaks. It is quite possibly the funniest piece of TV I've seen in many years. Sometimes the lulz are even intentional.

Checking out the friending meme and went and recorded something I thought would be interesting:

Notes:

1. FRIENDING MEME III is still going!
2. Fandom comm meme at heard_of_it!
3. Going to be doing some advertising for livelongnmarry until the 15th! Thought it'd be win-win, people get to get their sites/comms out there, you get to find site/comms you might not have seen, and all the money gets donated, so. Just a little bit of extra scrolling to do, if you're not interested. (:

Holy crap! Ingrid Bétancourt and other hostages are freed by the Colombian military!! I just cannot believe it! More than 6 years and Bétancourt is finally liberated! And apparently, she's healthy. This is certainly the best news of 2008. This is so amazing, I hope everything will be alright. I can't imagine the joy of her family <3
