And just for your enjoyment, I give you the following (for those who missed it):

...given Miss California, Carrie Prejean's incessant whining and looking for excuses for her loss.

For those who haven't heard, Ms. Prejean was one of the finalists and, by at least Perez Hilton's comments, was considered the front runner.  But after her response to the question she was given--asking whether other states should allow gay marriage, ( Read more... )

"Did Obi-Wan ever tell you about your father?"
"He told me enough. He told me that you killed him!"
"No, I am your......hmmm...do you smell bacon?"

Seriously, when I heard the phrase, "I'm using an engineering grade of bacon," I knew I'd have to post about this.

Okay, a quick setup here.  First, let me congratulate Vermont on becoming the fourth state to legalize gay marriage.  Second, I have to say how extraordinarily impressed I am that not only did they accomplish that, but that they did so by overriding the governor's veto which, like other states, required a 2/3 majority to accomplish.  That said, I ( Read more... )

I'm actually quite pleased by this quiz overall (although I dislike the lack of Ras al Ghul). Both the primary choice and the secondary choice (Mr. Freeze) strike me as quite apt for me (maybe even more so for Freeze), and the ones after are far more akin to my nature than the ones down lower.

So, as the title says, I haven't been very active on LJ in the last couple of weeks.  It's just been too much work to do much with my email or LJ what with trying to sell the house, working a new job (even if only 3 days a week, it's still physically demanding) and getting sick last week.  In any event, I did in fact get over the illness with no ( Read more... )

In case it wasn't clear from the title, yes, I am sick.  It seems most likely that this is the croup that our son had, although in adults, the same barking cough symptom doesn't develop as it does in younger children.  And our daughter and danaewinters  have both caught it as well, just to further complicate our current domestic sitch.

This really couldn't have ( Read more... )

Rather than duplicate the comments made by my wife and I, I'll simply direct everyone to her post and my response.

Warning: Mushiness may ensue

I love my wife.

I'm finding myself very emotional at the most recent episode of Sluggy, perhaps because, unlike most of the strips, it's mirroring one of the sad facts of our current reality (and of my own current reality).  In any event, I had to post it.

Well, I just finished doing something that I had thought we were done with...packing a box up of things to move.  It was a small box, and it wasn't exactly difficult since it was just DVDs.  But there is something strange about packing it up this time, knowing that we're ready to face a major change in our life that we didn't want, ceasing to be a ( Read more... )
