I'm in holiday season crazy land lately. I'm mostly hiding from people during my days off. Dogs and cats make great company!
While doing today's bit of hiding, I also searched the interwebs for whatever caught my fancy. This short article about the split of a popular pair of gay penguins caught my eye.
While I'm sure the situation is not hilarious ( Read more... ) -
And the GOP does it again!
It seems as though another Republican has been caught making offensive statements regarding women's reproductive issues. Here's a link.
In a nutshell, Indiana's Republican candidate for their senatorial seat tries to stick to the party line on abortion when he indicated that he did not support legal abortion in a case in which the fetus is the ( Read more... ) -
Spoiler Alert! YouTube spoiled Jason's exit for me!
Spoilers, straight ahead!
I have Hulu instead of "normal" TV. I get most shows after a day's delay. That doesn't bother me. I usually watch TV as I get ready before work, anyway. For instance, I just watched yesterday's episode of GH.
YouTube users, however, are less patient. When I checked YouTube today (before watching GH), a bunch of GH-related ( Read more... ) -

Les Mis Rant
So, they're making a new film adaptation of Les Mis. It's got a pretty famous cast. I'm sure that comes with a pretty hefty price tag.
Still, do they have to make that money back by releasing it on Christmas? It really grinds my gears that everyone who worked on the film will be enjoying their holidays while movie theaters across the country start ( Read more... ) -
Occupy Wall Street Protests
So.. was anyone else disappointed to read about the Occupy Wall Street protests being broken up by police? I'm not writing about the movement's politics, which I find difficult to pin down. I don't know what they stand for, exactly, so I don't know whether I'm for or against it. I DO know that they should have the right to mass on Wall Street and ( Read more... ) -

I just found the most ridiculous article ever. Taking media bias into account, this CNBC "slideshow" is, umm, a little crazy.
The sugary drink thing is what got my attention. New York is seriously considering banning the sale of "large" sugary drinks. Now, as someone who makes her living selling snack food, I found this appalling. My first thought ( Read more... ) -
So... what's with all the weird woman hating going on in this election?
Is it just me, or are the Republicans taking a very strange approach to this election? Strike that. It's not just the presidential election that has Republicans acting batty. Misogyny seems to be trendy:- In Virginia, they want to require women to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound so that one may view the fetus before it is aborted. Umm, 'splainy? ( Read more... )

Meta Viewing
I have a sore, swollen throat, a bit of a headache, and a fever. I've felt this way for awhile, now. Accordingly, I'm taking off work. I feel kind of guilty about it, but what can you do? Everyone gets sick sometimes. Besides, mine may be a little more than a sore throat. I've also been losing hair, gaining weight like crazy, napping a lot, and ( Read more... )
