Is making faces into security cameras now a federal crime?

Cheese and crackers, I just heard Mr. Officialweatherman on the Channel 4 News saying that his Super Doppler 9,000,000 forecasts snow flurries for parts of Florida.  I'm going to cry.

And no, telling me to stop complaining because it's -127 degrees where you live will not make me feel warmer.  Complaining makes me feel warmer; it warms the very cockles of my shriveled little heart. 

Waaah!

Wow, I'm wishing lots of healing energies to glenns_chick .  She's been in the hospital and I miss her on LJ.  Poo.

Feminists always show their dumb on a long enough timeline.

I joined wtf_sexism which was all coolio at first but now is just every other stupid lj feminist community.

( Read more... )

i've been reading and reading and reading these past couple of weeks (still haven't finished mansfield park guys :) )  so for anyone interested here's what i've read so far:

the boy in the striped pyjamas by john boyne - loved it. made me cry :( highly highly recommend unless you're like one of those snooty critics that don't just let a story be a freakin' story and say that the main character was too naive to be believed and blah blah blah.... it was first written to be a childrens book but later changed (not the actual book just the marketing i think) to be for adults because it deals with the holocaust.. everybody probably already knows this but it's about a little nazi boy (not really certain a little boy can actually be a nazi - but you know what i mean) who befriends a little jewish boy who is in auschwitz ... after i read it i just HAD to see the movie.. it was a bit slow (the movie) but still really good and the boy who plays bruno was a cutie :)

under the dome by stephen king... much much better than the crap he's been putting out the last 10 or so years and i hope they make it into a movie - but a real movie not a silly made for tv let's get valerie bertinelli to play julia movie...  and this one is about a small town in (of course) maine that is shut off from the rest of the world by a sort of clear dome - nothing can get in, nothing can get out... of course you have the usual stephen king crazy character that starts talking to himself in weird languages and starts to kill people but other than that it was pretty interesting .. the effects that being under a dome like that would bring... the air quaility, how law and order would break down, etc etc.

a christmas blizzard by garrison keillor - started out really really good - because i thought it was really really funny... to quote from the beginning of the book (this is a in reference to a guy named uncle earl:
"his left eyeball fell out"
"his eyeball fell out?????"
ha. someones eyeball fell out... anyway, yeah it's about this very rich businessman who has a weird phobia of pump handles because he has a very strong urge to put his tongue on them when it's freezing out and he's sure it's going to be the death of him so he tries to retreat to hawaii during the holidays ... but .. uncle earls eyeball falls out so he goes home and then it turns into some weird salvador dali melting clock meets a christmas carol by charles dickens kind of story and it just lost me.. i just hurried my way through the end.    i wouldn't recommend it.

the hour i first believed by wally lamb - hated it. just absolutely hated it.   i liked she's come undone and i loved i know this much is true.. i don't know how mr lamb went so wrong with this book.. it was atrocious, where was the editor?? this was like 5 stories in one, and there's no way that many things can happen to one man without it becoming comical.. columbine, katrina, iraq, vietnam, your wife kills someone, your student kills someone... then you have a side story about all his grandmothers and greatgrandmothers.. i couldn't keep them straight but they knew everybody who was anybody... thomas edison, nikola tesla, mark twain, harriet beecher stowe, etc etc... come on!!  and you know when people have an annoying way of talking? and you can't shut them up? then someone writes a book? and he makes everyone talk like this? and it's 740 pages? and there's no way EVERYONE has the same annoying way of talking? maybe one person does? but not ALL?
 that was freakin' annoying... everybody? really wally?  .. again editor should have cut that crap out... and finally the author voiced his political views every chance he got... we get it wally you think george bush and dick cheney are evil monsters that have caused every single hardship suffered for the past 10 years... go write a political book .. don't shove it down my throat when i'm reading a novel. 

whew. that was long.. sorry.... right now i'm reading the demon haunted world: science as a candle in the dark by carl sagan... not a novel.. pretty good from the first 200 pages...
                anyone have any really good books they'd recommend?

DORK ADDENDA: Apologies for re-using the same drawing from Monday. A family emergency meant I had to fly to the East Coast suddenly, yesterday.

so, new plan: before i fall asleep, i'm listing five things i've done that day which make me proud of myself. eating breakfast without barfing doesn't count, because i can't be disappointed in myself when i get sick, so. making a pretty good curry counts, especially as i had to recover from adding smoked paprika, instead of cayenne, by accident. it's a nice way to go to bed at night.

also, i saw avatar with adam t this week. you know how much i love predictable movies. unexpectedly, it's made me reconsider focusing my grad school search on environmental or international economics programmes, and look into getting back to feminist economics. i need advice.

i read somewhere that you're supposed to eat sushi upside down. more accurately, fish-side down.

you dip the fish, not soak the rice, into your soy sobby slurry, and put the fish onto your tongue.

i tried it, and wow, delicious. you can actually taste the fish instead of just salty rice with some expensive fish stuck to the top of your mouth

i didn't know, thought maybe someone else didn't

Messages seek help in finding a 14-year-girl named Ashley Lewis gone missing from Kannapolis, NC.

for the last three months i've been listening to almost exclusively lil wayne's C3 and r.e.m.'s automatic for the people, when i get tired of one i put the other cd in.

i think it's time for more guitars and yelling, shouting choruses about society's ills
