I'm really sick and tired of trying and failing. That's all.

Rolling hills. Endless cornfields. Hundreds of cows. Badly-accented, backwoods, closed-minded, self-important rubes. Ah, Bonduel.

Hoping for the best.

I know I've mentioned this group before somewhere, but I have a soft spot for them. I wouldn't call it a must-listen, but it has some nice 80s influences. Edited, because I'm apparently up too early and can't embed Yahoo video right now. You'll have to content yourselves with the crappy Sims video.

Um, taken where? *snicker* I just can't resist an awful pun.

I've lost entire days at work (more than one in a row, in fact) wandering around TVTropes. I try to stay away simply to keep from getting pulled back in. It's a fun place, but damn, it's as addictive as nicotine.

I started mostly because I'm extremely nervous (you couldn't tell, could you) and needed something to do with my hands when I was out. And it made a convenient excuse to get up and walk around a bit, while at my very sedentary job. I should probably feel angry or a sense of injustice at this smoking ban, but I can only feel almost entirely ambivalent about it now.

My understanding of why the EPA made this declaration is so that the government has a basis upon which to regulate the artificial production of CO2. It may seem silly to declare it harmful, since (as aforementioned) pretty much every living thing on earth expels some carbon dioxide (even plants expel a little bit), but it gives the US government a starting to point to put pressure on big polluters to draw down their CO2 levels.

This troglodyte and Orly Taitz should get together. It would be the 'divide by zero' of both stupid and racist.

"It is what it is" is sort of a poor substitute. Maybe it's just because "shikata ga nai" I always remember being said in that resigned, sighing tone. The words just seem to go hand-in-hand with the tone.

So much This, along with the sequels A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet.

It's not so much that there's nothing there between you and the prospective atheist, it's that there is just nothing there. Bunch of soulless bastards, we are. Kinda the way we like it.

It's a 'Big Daddy' from the game Bioshock. I shouldn't be amazed that some die-hard cosplayer made a costume of that character...but I am. Hell of a lot of ingenuity, and really cool.

What religion?

Really, Obama should have just stopped his speech, walked up to Joe "I'm having a tantrum" Wilson, and beaten him with a cane. There's precedent for it: Preston Brooks beats Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber Hell, South Carolina even has it coming.
