Enjoy the comic :D

D.E.B.S. is available for free on Youtube, via Crackle. It's actually a fun movie, once you get past the really weird wtf aspect of the premise of it...

I apologize in advance to my eurofriends if this video is blocked because of rights in your country >.

I hate you Alfalfa.

EDIT: I think I'm just going to give up on WB. On top of removing it from the main page and replacing it with sensationalist celebrity crap, now there's a glitch that keeps making your answers show up blank.

Is it just me, or does LJ seem to be broken more often than not?

Btw, I answered "The X-Files" and "I would have ended it after season 6."

Once again, I couldn't use my resin because it turned into a nice clear brick inside of the container >:l

And then you realize you don't want it anymore? =/

I just sneezed.  Its either because the weather has been consistantly colder than forcasted, or I'm picking up travel germs!

But I really doubt the world is going to end in December. I'm a little annoyed, though, listening to people talk about it. They all say, "The Mayans said that we'd all float off into space" or some dumb shit like that. It's almost insulting. Do you really think that an ancient civilization as advances as the Mayans, with their unbelievable knowledge of astronomy, would ever consider that gravity would just "stop working" on one certain day? e.e; People need to get their facts right...

Well, if you ever have some moron prattling about their whisper-down-the-lane knowledge of the impending end of the world, refer them to these articles:

And while we're at it, I thought it would be fun if you guys could help me brainstorm all the days the world was supposed to end in our lifetime.

May 21, 2011 - The rapture
Dec 21, 2012 - Mayan calendar end
Dec 31, 2000 - Y2K bug
1998 - Doomsday (666x3)

I know there's more

You mean like how they took WB off the homepage and replaced it with ONTD crap?

So here's the story. Last Wednesday, I noticed my cat wasn't eating. I woke up in a panic because I saw him laying on the floor in the meatloaf position (paws tucked in, head on floor). So I didn't hesitate to take him to the doctor.

Unfortunately, the doctor didn't do much for me. He mostly talked over me and insisted that his kidney disease was progressing, and that we should continue on fluid therapy and prescription food. I was like, well that's all very well and good, but I don't think that's going to help him. Not to mention, the doctor seemed to be of the opinion that he was just on his way out and that I might have to put him down soon.

That really pisses me off. Everytime there's something wrong with him, people say "Oh you might have to put him down." HELL NO I DON'T. It's not like I'm dragging him through life. He's active, playful, and other than the not eating, he's stable and healthy. I knew it was something small that they must have been overlooking. Luckily, there's plenty of resources on the web for cats with CRF. I read up on what I thought was the issue.

Well, about two more days after fluids, he only ate a little, but not enough. So I called a different vet for a second opinion. Of course she wanted to run blood work (that was covered by my insurance, but there's been some new idiotic policy stopping me from using it). I insisted he just had his bloods done in January. I had been watching him closely and I wrote down all of his symptoms and everything I suspected to be wrong.

The new doctor agreed with me to try an antacid and to give me something to clear up his dirty teeth. After just one dose of the antacid, voila. He's eating again. I was relieved, but also very pissed off that the first doctor was just going to let him suffer for something as simple as acid reflux. It made me wonder if he just didn't think of it, wasn't listening, or didn't even care.

Ugh man, this morning I kept having nightmares that they were giving out free coffee makers. And every listing was a free coffee maker. And they were giving away $20 to try the coffees.

THE HORROR.

My personal choice is, "Get off my lawn you crazy kids!"

Why is the Snow White fairy tale so popular this year?

I actually find it really insulting that an organization originally intended to empower women has been reduced to a subsidiary of another male-run organization, undermined as cute and trivial, and then forced to sell mass-produced and marketed cookies. Might I remind you, the actual troupes see very little of the profits from their sales.

Hey guys :)

In an attempt to refill this empty vessel, I have been reading quite a bit. While reading my favorite lit mag today, Monkey Bicycle, I came across this questionaire sort of thing. So I decided to fill it out, too. Read the original here: http://monkeybicycle.net/blog/ten-everywhere-roxane-gay-and-ayiti/

(About My Father’s Accent) – What words do you concentrate on?
I have a tendency to string together words beginning with f and p. I don't know why, I can't help it!

(Voodoo Child) – When was the last time you backed away slowly?
Most likely the last time I saw a bee. The last time I backed away quickly was when I saw a skunk!

(There is No “E” in Zombi …) – How do you save a zombi?
Well, I believe their mortal soul has already passed on. Therefore, lop off their heads so that they may rot in peace. Failing that, ziplock bags keep everything fresh! Save that zombi hand for later, mmm.

(Things I Know About Fairy Tales) – What are some lessons I could learn in my no-so-fancy clothes?
How differently people treat you when you look like you don't have any money.

(Cheap, Fast, Filling) – Pop quiz: What is the first ingredient listed in a typical Hot Pocket?
Probably that burning sensation when you bite into it for the first time. It says microwave for x amount of minutes, but if you do, it'll be TOO hot! Ha, I haven't eaten one of those since I was like 8 or 9. I stay away from processed food.

How long have these stories been in your life?
The most recent ones have a habit of sneaking up on me first thing in the morning!

(All Things Being Relative) – What other things bow their heads when passing?
Dying roses and horses.

I always hear about the hardest things about writing. What is the easiest thing?
Hitting the keys on the keyboard. There's something very satisfying about how the keys depress under my fingers and the wonderful rhythmic noises they make when I'm writing :) The backspace and space keys are particularly melodious!!

(A Cool Dry Place) – Men fearing their beauty – do you see this often?
All the time, except for down here. This place is very close to the gayborhood, lol.

In ten words (no more, no less), describe your next project.
I will learn how to support myself through my writing.
