Food and fatness
So I watched Super Size Me, and wow, that was a scary movie. For anyone who hasn't heard of it, the basic premise is that this guy eats nothing but McDonalds food, three meals a day, for a month. It's crazy how horrible it turns out to be for his health. And I mean, of course most people don't eat all their meals there but after watching that ( Read more... ) -
If everyone on your flist did a meme...
Would you do it too?
Come on, you totally would.
So, anyway, questions meme. It's making the rounds and I picked it up from ennui_blue_lite. (Makes it sound like an STD, doesn't it?)

Ah, the relaxing weekend (except not)
OMG so sore. This has been a weekend of rushing and hefting and digging and strewing and generally assembling.

...buh?
Hey, whatever happened to the Godawful Fanfic forums? I haven't been by for a while, but the other day I felt like reading a good sporking and the board was down. I tried again today and still no luck. Is this a temporary thing or did it finally collapse under the weight of all that wank? -

Last night's House
So after three weeks, there was this new House on last night. One day and one room, or something like that. I recorded it and didn't get around to watching it until today, but I noticed a curious lack of general squee on my flist in the interim. I can say now that it is not all that curious after all.
( So... WTF, House? Also, WTF House writers? ) -
Why don't I have a "Stupid people must die" icon?
Okay, here's the thing. I'm in this online college, right, and I've been there for the past year and every single semester, every class has a group project. I know this. Everyone knows this. We've all done them before ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Idol, you never cease to amaze (and amuse)
Hubby and I watched the premiere of Americal Idol tonight. You know, the audition rounds, where there is a little speculation and some authoritative predictions (he'll make it through the audition, but get cut in Hollywood, that girl is a finalist, but not a winner, that sort of thing) but mostly there is laughing at the weirdos.
( Was it just me, or did anyone else think they deliberately edited this together to really rub in the awkward moments? )
