Anyone else using Mon.thly not able to forward the calendar through to ‘09?
(to self) Oh, hey, what is this, some new calendar app? You know, I never did get used to using 30boxes, maybe this could be worth a look…
Click.
Oh… oh… oh God…

Nuking the Fridge - Photo Gallery on Yahoo! Movies →
The next “jump the shark” is “nuking the fridge.” And, as an aside, I had high hopes for Indy 4 — but as soon as they nuked the fridge, I knew the movie was in trouble…..and boy, was it ever.

I just watched Momma’s Boys. And kind of hate myself for it. But at the same time, I could. not. stop. watching. The girls are pretty much all trashy and none of them knew how to cook like at all. And one of the moms is seriously insane. I’m like 8 times more dumber for watching that. Also, I didn’t write my column. And I missed Bromance.
oh man, i totally agree....

It’s so funny how people really get into TV shows. I’ve never been one to get into shows and follow them week after week. I suspect my indifference towards TV shows is due to my affinity for finality. The “to be continued…” aspect of TV shows leaves me very uneasy. When I start watching a movie I like to fully go from point A through Z. I like to know that eventually it will end...

Top 10 Stupidest Law Suits
(Original post edited for the sake of brevity)
sparo:
10 - An idiot sued Michael Jordan because he says Michael Jordan looks like him… .
9 -The Wendy’s Finger: Anna Ayala sued Wendy’s because she claimed that there was a finger in her chili. After a huge investigation, it turns out that she planted the finger in the chili… . .
8 - Kenneth Parker sued the state of Nevada...
Tumblr is not a chatroom.
sparo:
Create a group.
Get comments. (They make you feel better than a “like.”)
Use email.
Feud no more.
You know, tho’, it kinda is…….in slow motion.
That’s half the fun.
Mostly, though, it is what we make it.

Something I don't understand
theengineer:
is how a breakup happens when the two people in a relationship still love each other. I mean, I understand why it happens, but not how one person is ever able to put the words out there, to take responsibility for what they may never know is the right decision. My last relationship was wrong in so many ways, but an absence of love was never the problem. Perhaps this is why he...
First Aid Kit
mrc:
Call me crazy, but I don’t think a pack of band aids in the supply drawer counts as a “first-aid kit”.
Of course not. But add tweezers, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol (to kill the big things), and now we’re talking………
I'm not being facetious here

So Condi claims that people will soon “start to thank this president for what he’s done.”

Lunch with the Mom
bowlingalleylawyer:
She just called and I agreed to have lunch with the ex’s mom on Wed. She emailed and asked just before school let out and I agreed then as well. I have a Christmas present for her and, well, I miss her.
After the ex and I had a HUGE 24 hour long fight the weekend before Christmas, I told him I wouldn’t have lunch with her because he has apparently become a narcissist and...

This is absolutely disgusting. You know by the way things are going, soon we’ll be burning ‘witches’ at the stake again.
All it takes is someone who thinks they know it all, and an overzealous prosecutor, and presto: innocent kid locked up for no good reason.

Marijuana is still illegal because the judiciary does not recognize marijuana users as persons and does not recognize marijuana as property. Only persons and property under the Constitution’s 4th and 5th Amendments are protected from unreasonable deprivation.
I understand the arguments made by the proponents for the legalization of marijuana…..but this article is so factually wrong,...

Jets Don't Do It Again
…..and by that I mean, make the playoffs.
Oh, don’t worry about me…..I’m used to it. No matter what happens in my life, I know that I’ll always be able to count on the Jets to let me down. Oh, sure, they’ll tease me every once in a while, like the championship game against Denver a few years back…..but true to form, they lost because they couldn’t...

Confession
missdreass:
I’m stressed. So much that I don’t blog or talk about it. I’ve been isolating myself. Thinking about it makes me exhausted. I need time to get myself together.
I’m right with you on the stress meter. It’s the time of year, plus the demands of everyday life, plus the expectation that we’re supposed to be joyous during the holidays, multiplied by what we perceive to...

It’s going to become a big business to clean up the Internet. Already SEO’s have divisions dedicated to the task and it will continue to grow exponentially. I don’t think that some people realize to what extent their posts are permanently placed on the Internet. And it’s a big misconception that if one deletes their blog that it’s nuked from all searches. In an environment as...

I went job hunting today. Tonight I plan to fill out some applications. I have exactly forty dollars left and I’m doing my best to stretch it out. I expect I’ll be having to shut my phone off soon. All of this is really making my head feel crowded and overwhelmed. Fuck.
Don’t give up, Mike. Pull out all the stops. Look everywhere. On Monday, try a temp agency. ...

Free Rice owns my life.
Is this for real?! If so, I donated 120 grains before missing one. Good stuff.
Good stuff. I missed a few here and there, in the subject of English Vocabulary, but got it up to 360 grains…..of course, it might have taken less time to send a box of Uncle Ben’s to the organization…..prolly more rice in there...

Massive Israeli air raids on Gaza
Israeli F-16 bombers have pounded key targets across the Gaza Strip, killing more than 200 people, local medics say.
Most of those killed were policemen in the Hamas militant movement, which controls Gaza, but women and children also died, the Gaza officials said.
About 700 others were wounded, as...

Top Ten Things I Hate About Star Trek
While I am a Star Trek fan (the original only, thank you), I can’t disagree with anything on this list, which is hysterical. (And to give credit where credit is due, the list is from here, which I got to from here.)
10. Noisy doors. You can’t walk three feet in a starship without some door whooshing or screeching at you. My office building has automatic sliding doors. They’re...

This is how humid my front door looked as I left for work late at 1am. The weather tonight was hovering around the mid 50s and a ridiculous fog had set upon the city. I left my house in a long sleeved tee and a windbreaker. The last time I was in LA, when the temps hit mid 60s, people were breaking out earmuffs, gloves and puffy jackets. Wusses. All of them. How...
