My next door neighbor just took this picture after hearing Chap whining and then seeing him stick his paws out under the door: Poor bored kitten. He looks so hilariously pathetic in that picture.

Via Defamer, the perfect one-word [over and over again] summation of being a Lost fan: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcatQSyRK6c&hl=en] I love people with the kind of free time that allows them to put something like this together.

Life Gets Expensive

2008

Several large expenses are cropping up in my life, and they’ve conveniently chosen to do so a) at the same time and b) when I took an underpaying job just so I wouldn’t lose my mind. Causing the most fun at the moment: The Bed. My bedframe, which has lasted me a good while and ...

I Don’t Know Why I Find This Amusing

I think because I’m so tired I’m finding everything funny… Earlier tonight, a tornado went right over the headquarters of the National Weather Service, which, among many many other things, tracks tornadoes and tries to predict where they’re going to go. That must have been a fun realization: “Steve, how’s that twister you’re tracking?” “Uh…RUN!” ...

SAG’s next up in the Great Strike-ocolypse of 2008. The problem this time?

Their infighting has (as far as I can tell) delayed the start ...

If you watched tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, you will be highly, highly amused by the extremely long, hysterically funny song on this site referenced in the episode (warning: audio loads automatically). They had way, way, way too much fun creating that. It’s almost as long as the goddamn episode, but sweet ...

I finally gave up on a couple shows I’d watched every episode of earlier this year, Prison Break and Desperate Housewives. While in DH‘s case I hear I may have given up right before the show creatively resurrected itself, this spoilery item indicates I checked out of Prison Break at the right time. Because seriously? ...

Mom went to go visit the non-lapsed Catholic members of her side of the family for Easter, and came back with some fun news. Father Michael McGivney, who founded the Knights of Columbus and was also my Great Great Grandmother’s brother (I think making him my Great Great Great Uncle) is now one step closer ...

A Twist In Time

Why is it that almost leaving work at 6:00, then getting stuck with an extra errand and not leaving until 6:30, is much more frustrating than just working straight through until 7:30 or 8? Stupid dangling of a chance to sit in traffic earlier than usual…
