I think I have a new favorite band.

Have some muppets singing the Bohemian Rhapsody.



You're welcome.

Spoilers? Seriously? What spoilers are there? Jacob's a werewolf, Edward doesn't freaking die, and he won't vamp or screw Bella until she marries him. I mean. Come ON. NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS IN THAT BOOK.

I can't believe this thing broke records. Batman can't save us anymore. *cries*

Man. I think that was the closest I'll ever get to a religious experience. Nothing like hearing your favorite band play your favorite song, and having 90,000 people sing it along with you.

( Holy crap pictures! )

This is where my underwear keeps going! It's migrating south for the winter!



Man, and I keep blaming the dog. Poor guy. Now I have to apologize.

EDIT: It's now down. LAME.

"Hey, why haven't you said anything about the whole Roman Polanski debacle? Isn't that sort of something you would normally talk about?"

This icon is in response to being "Christmas Cake."

I prefer being cheese to cake. *nods*

I finally found out where my crocodile icon came from. It comes from an online javascript game called The Asylum: Psychiatric Clinic for Abused Cuddly Toys. It's exactly what it sounds like on the tin.

There's a more detailed analysis here and a walkthrough in the comments section here but the gist of it is you are a mental health professional trying to help traumatised stuffed animals. You can do things like Talk Therapy, Art Therapy, Dream Analysis, all so you can find out their tragic backstory and properly diagnose and treat these animals.

So my icon is even more apt, since he (Kroko) is an anxious nervous wreck, just like me!

This game is fantastic, it's got a warped sense of humor and it tugs at ye olde heartstrings. I just wanna help these widdle guys!

(They even have the actual stuffed animals for sale. Too bad Christmas is 6 months away.)

I love DAAS. Boo on ten.com.au for not letting me watch Good News Week.

Life grows more interesting by the day for officials of the West Bend (Wis.) Community Memorial Library. After four months of grappling with an evolving challenge to young-adult materials deemed sexually explicit by area residents Ginny and Jim Maziarka, library trustees voted 9–0 June 2 to maintain the young-adult collection as is “without removing, relocating, labeling, or otherwise restricting access” to any titles. However, board members were made cognizant that same evening that another material challenge waited in the wings: Milwaukee-area citizen Robert C. Braun of the Christian Civil Liberties Union (CCLU) distributed at the meeting copies of a claim for damages he and three other plaintiffs filed April 28 with the city; the complainants seek the right to publicly burn or destroy by another means the library’s copy of Baby Be-Bop. The claim also demands $120,000 in compensatory damages ($30,000 per plaintiff) for being exposed to the book in a library display, and the resignation of West Bend Mayor Kristine Deiss for “allow[ing] this book to be viewed by the public.”

I'm sorry, I just. What? They want the right to burn the LIBRARY'S COPY OF THE BOOK? Really? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

I'm going to have to re-read my copy of Dangerous Angels with Baby Be-Bop, and thus expose myself to this "explicitly vulgar, racial (what the hell does that even MEAN?) and anti-Christian" work.

Hey asshats! I lent it to my 14-year-old sister and she LOVED it and lent it to HER FRIENDS. I'm in ur skools, corruptin' ur kidz....

Since Sesame Street is turning 40, I present my two favorite characters.
