I like music, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

 Update o’ the fortnight

I’m all over Rule #50. The other rules are pretty good, too.

Gee, sometimes even the liberal media mentions (sort of) how the current economic disaster was years in the making, and began with the choices and deregulations of the Democrat-controlled government of the 1990’s.

This would be an awesome pet…now I just need a time machine…

I love LiLo. Can’t help it, I just do.

I also love Gerald Warner, the guy who coined the phrase “President Pantywaist” — and explained how this isn’t real life, it’s just Scary Movie 5.

The more I hear about shipping container housing, the more I think this may be the best choice in building a custom-designed, low-cost (!!!) home for Geoffrey, me, and Lyse. We’re certain to come up with much niftier designs than the ones I’ve seen online so far (not like that’s difficult), and the sheer creative potential makes me drool a little. (No, I will not be crocheting any house cozies. I am not that crazy.)

More companies should encourage this kind of awesome in their employees. Srsly.

Have you noticed how all the “global warming” talk is now referred to as “climate change”? Interesting, very interesting.

Sunday night, Geoffrey and I watched 60 Minutes so we could see just how much of a bias CBS would throw onto a story about the increase in gun sales since the Presidential election. It was a LOT of bias. I wonder how many of those guns were sold to women? Why don’t stories about how guns save lives ever make the “mainstream” news? As an employee of a university, I’d feel a lot safer at work if I knew that my employer honored the concealed carry permits of its employees, rather than denying their employees the right to self-defense in an effort to make people “feel” safer.

 Barren Isle of Lovecraftian Horror

One of my coworkers sent me this link (it increased my opinion of her tremendously, I might add). Some of the best lines:

Australia has more terror per capita than Elm Street, so if something looks like a nightmarish monster, odds are it’s probably a household pet in the land down under.

Australia: Even though nature vomited monsters all over this barren isle of Lovecraftian horror, we fucking live here anyway, because we just don’t give a shit.

See, Geoffrey having an Aussie girlfriend totally makes sense to me now.
