First, I'm a sucker for serial books. Wheel of Time by Robert Fucking Jordan, Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind, Rowling's Harry Potter, Robert Asprin, Piers Anthony, Grafton's Alphabet series, The Cat Who books, John Sandford's Prey books, etc, etc. If you hand me a big fat book that says “Book 1” I will curse you, I will cry, then I will ravenously fall on the book. Second, I'm a Stephen King fan. Love his stuff. I've got a whole shelf or two of Stephen King books. And yet, I've never read King's Dark Tower series. Can you believe it?…

“Biology explains how life works. Physics explains how forces work. Astronomy explains how the stars work. Chemistry explains how matter works. Evolution explains how life changes. Creationism explains how to put your fingers in your ears and shout 'DOESNOTDOESNOTDOESNOTDOESNOT!!!!!'”

Ok, so morning routine is alarm goes off at 7, struggle out of bed sometime hopefully before 8, feed the cats, out of the house by 9. This morning, the alarm goes off, I hit the snooze bar. gets up and I doze off a little. Alarm goes off, hit the snooze bar, doze a little. Mai-lyn gets up on the bed.

Tags are cool. If you want your tags to work like this, you can't have spaces in the tag. I use a period between words, some use an underscore, others a dash – but a space won't work. It'll look like it worked, but if you go to the tag link, it'll say the tag does not exist. For some reason, LJ puts a + between the words, instead of a space (or a %20 even) – which means, it won't show up right.

Is anyone else having trouble w/ LJ pages not wanting to load photobucket images?

Item the first: Ginger Vinagrette Dressing is teh yum. Item the second: Today at Central Market on a whim I picked up a bottle of pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper. Oh my. Can someone please explain to me why we traded our souls and good taste for High Fructose Corn Syrup? Item the third: My dog Jake is a total freak. First, he just looooves pocky. He even knows the word pocky, and pays close attention if I have any. Second, bought a bottle of ginger beer (not alchoholic, it's like root beer, only it's ginger beer). This stuff has…

Montana News – Independent Record Nichols said the toddler ran for the bong. When she tried to waive the toddler away, the child threw a fit. Durham told Nichols that her daughter wanted the bong and proceeded to light the residue in the pipe. Durham sucked marijuana smoke into the pipe and gave the bong to her daughter, Nichols testified. “She (the toddler) put her mouth on it and took a big hit,” she said.

Makes sense to me! I'm all for teaching DUHin America's schools!

I love this man. Stupid Granny – “You bought a clearly marked, M rated game for your 14 year old grandson. Lawsuit dismissed.” At least, it ought to be. Here's a terrific commentary on the subject: Hillary vs. the Xbox: Game over I'm writing to commend you for calling for a $90-million study on the effects of video games on children, and in particular the courageous stand you have taken in recent weeks against the notorious “Grand Theft Auto” series. I'd like to draw your attention to another game whose nonstop violence and hostility has captured the attention of millions…
