Tipping the Scales
George has been doing some recreational (read: on the couch on the back porch) peeing for the last couple weeks. So we took him to the vet this morning, because that could be a sign of a UTI (he has some bacteria and he got an antibiotic shot) and he also needed a bunch of shots. Poor George!
No but he’s a big dude. The vet tech went to put him on the scale to get his weight and she put him...
Well
They’ve janked up gmap-pedometer.
Ugh. Why. It was perfect how it was.
Ohhhhhhh fuck
Our dinner guests just got here. I thought they were coming at 7 but now checking my emails I see I said come at 6:30-7 which I (in my chronic lateness) read as 7. Me to myself: wait didn’t I say 7 (looks at emails) ohhhhhh.
And I just got out of the shower, sitting here in my bathrobe, tumbling.

philk asked: Maria got an honorary degree from my college the year I graduated. She got the biggest applause by far, over Willie Mays, Cardinal Arinze and the guy who invented the artificial heart.

I don't want to engage in an argument about Sesame...
I have no problem with Sesame Street addressing the issue of homosexuality and acceptance on the show.
I’m SURE the people behind Sesame Street would have no problem with this and would (maybe actively are) looking for a way to make this happen. I actually trust the creators of Sesame Street because they’ve never done anything to make me think that they’re in any way AGAINST...
And!
When I was little I met Maria, she did something at the local mall. I can’t even remember what because I was too overcome OMG MARIA IN FRONT OF ME FOR REAL!
I thought she looked just like my mom.

The Bert and Ernie marriage petition thing is...
(1) they’re puppets on a show for pre-schoolers
(2) they exist to teach kids to share and spell
(3) they don’t have a sexual orientation. None of the puppets do, oh remember when Big Bird got married to that nice puppet from around the way? They actually had a terrible divorce because he ended up screwing Grover on the side. No! That does not actually happen on Sesame Street. To...
“He, of course, retreats to his Portuguese villa because being white is hard.”
– Gabe @ Videogum. It’s an old Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time but I will never stop being amused at Gabe’s “being white is hard” asides. They’re always so perfect.

I specifically don’t watch any cable news because it makes me crazy and it’s all gibberish and not worth it. So I hate when someone posts a Daily Show clip about cable news assholes and I watch it because it’s too tempting and then I need to take a shower and a xanax.
bmichael asked: A blazer is a separate, and usually has contrasting elements (like brass buttons on a blue blazer) whereas a suit jacket usually doesn't. Duno if that applies to women's clothing.

Me: George would wipe the floor with those jackasses in an election.
Ben: Can cats run for President?
Me: I mean the Constitution doesn't specify human...although you might be faced with the question of whether non-humans are considered US citizens...
Ben: Well Republicans are considered citizens.
Me: Zing!
The submissive question
I don’t think it’s actually that outrageous? Michelle Bachmann is the one who has made a point to say she’s submissive to her husband and does everything he tells her, including decisions pertaining to her career. So…I actually think it logically follows.

I meant to tell tumblr. Yesterday I was driving home and I was behind some truck that had a FIRE PELOSI bumper sticker and when I passed the truck the dude driving it was smoking a giant old school pipe. I don’t know why but that just seemed to work.
Sherlock Holmes has his reasons for wanting to fire Pelosi, and it is not for us to question.
It was exactly like a...

Wha?
His plan for the economy is individual unemployment accounts where people could withdraw at their leisure?? I don’t even…
I love how all these men feel comfortable standing on stage and saying, “yeah women who are pregnant as a result of rape should be forced to give birth to those children.”
That takes some big ass balls.
Rick Santorum supports criminally prosecuting doctors who perform abortions. So…he’s just making up his own laws as he goes along then? Oh, cool.
Herman Cain should point to Michelle Bachmann and be like, “Mormon/schworman, this bitch thinks slavery was good for families.”
Wow. This debate is surprisingly Cuba heavy.
Fidel Castro is all, “really? Have you even seen your economy?”
Ohhhhh Social Issues!
Yay!
Now we can finally get to the bottom of this slavery issue. I can’t wait to hear how it was “better for families.”
What? No it’s not a referendum on the state of public education and racism in this country that this has even been an issue recently. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

This is a rowdy crowd, huh?
In a battle between Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann. I don’t know!

I now have no idea what Ron Paul’s position on Cuba is. Is he saying we need to keep fighting with them or stop fighting with them?
Ah Ron Paul, always keeping the most pressing issues at the forefront.

Last thing
I live with a dude who I really like a lot. He hates about 85% of what I watch on television. He makes no secret of it. We manage to struggle through it.
People like different shit, it’s all good.
Can we all just agree that Two and a Half Men is terrible?
I'm confused about why everyone is confused about...
itsonreserve:
I mean, you don’t have to like that show or anything, but “main character is a socially incapable ass let’s laugh at their bumbling” is a pretty common sitcom trope 30 years running. 30 Rock, Seinfeld, The Odd Couple, even George Jefferson.
Like, really?
I mean you can dislike the format but don’t act confused. Not a good look.
I don’t think anyone is confused about...
Listen
I’m not trying to criticize anyone personally I like a lot of shit people around here HATE (like Family Guy and The Sarah Silverman Show and Ke$ha, yes Ke$ha) so whatever, I really don’t care what anyone likes or dislikes. Really. I’m just confused when so many people LOVE something and I just don’t get it.
Having said that! I do not relate to that character, at all. I...
Ok
So a lot of people are saying that Louie is supposed to be horrible and that’s the joke? I guess. I still don’t find it funny though, more annoying, but that’s just me.
But I have to say that people reblog stuff he’s said on that show all the time with comments like, he is awesome and I love him and SO TRUE or I wish he’d gotten to take a bath with her etc. So which...
also that stupid quote I keep seeing about how you...
littleorphanammo:
First, he was saying it to 9 year olds if I’m not mistaken which, wat?
Their minds are actually not that vast.
And again with the self aggrandizing. That statement irritates me. Who the fuck you think you are? Like you are so wise and brilliant and profound that you never experience boredom? You know, that human state that we all feel from time to time?
Everyone on earth?

“I feel like I’m gonna die if I can’t be with you. And I can’t be with you. So...”
– Louie Ck (on his show)
I mean this is like some 9th grade shit. If any adult man ever said that to me I’d be like, well nice knowing you, the butcher knives are in the kitchen. Take your histrionic ass away from me now. Get some help. You’re exhausting.

“Antonio Lupi Baia Tub.

Tub in the middle of the bedroom. I think the word you’re looking for is, “pardon?”

Oh and
The owner of the establishment came out (I was with the actual property owner) and maybe I just have a thing for guys who smoke and/or have access to the good shit but…DAYUM.
He looked good with his arm sleeve and his jeans hanging kinda low.
