What do you do when you're sick and can't sleep? I don't know about you, but I find out that every episode of Buffy is on Netflix Streaming, and start a Slayer Festival, starting with "Once More with Feeling" from the sixth season.

Hard to believe it's been ten years, but this season still holds up beautifully. The "Buffy was in Heaven" revelation ( Read more... )

 I turned on a nature program on NatGeoWild for my grandmother because we both like nature programs, and this one was about lions and hyenas. It was all good for a while, and watching the lioness play with her cubs was just delightful. Hyena cubs are actually pretty cute too, even if they do grow up into horrid hyenas ( Read more... )

 Someone I've known for a very long time says that he's not seen very many Christians condemning the Westboro "church people." I told him he hasn't been listening.

Do me a favor gang -- please speak up. What do *you* think of Fred Phelps and his "church"?

I wanted to post this as my Facebook status, but can't quite get it right. I guess I'll just put it in my journal, and consider crying myself to sleep over murdered people who were murdered by a *madman*. I can't get that little girl's face out of my head.

We are *all* humans.  We are all Americans*, not just Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, or ( Read more... )

We talk about weird crap sometimes.  Guilty pleasures came up in conversation last night because I had warbled a line from a Britney Spears song at him in answer to some question or another, and that started us talking about the guilty pleasures. I confessed to enjoying a few Spice Girls songs, esp. to work out to. He immediately broke into "If you ( Read more... )

 Hmm. Just saw an ad for a "giant cupcake maker."

Isn't a giant cupcake simply...a cake?

 I am wearing purple today in honor of *all* bullying victims. I feel that by singling out only the gay ones we do them a disservice by pointing out a large part what made them insecure in the first place. I don't think that sexual orientation should matter except to the one(s) a person is sexually involved with ( Read more... )

 There's been a bomb threat made towards a Pennsylvania courthouse. The journalists wrote "A bomb scare was called in..."

Uh, *no*. It's a bomb *threat*.  It's only downgraded to a "scare" when the bomb squad declares it a scare. Until then, it's a *threat*.

WTF, people?  Don't they teach this stuff in journalism school anymore??

Hahahahahaha! I just saw a review of this app on NY1. I don't have an iPhone, but it might make one more attractive to me. It's an app where you can point your phone at someone/thing, push a button, and PEWPEWPEW! It makes sound effect and a visual of shooting lasers at them.

What makes this funny to ( Read more... )
