The Ninth Strange Day

Also available as a pin, notecard, and mug! Woo!

It’s like a seal of approval. Only a little less enthusiastic.

This guy getting off the bus tonight said “Have a blessed evening everyone. And don’t forget what God’s done for you.”

I turned to Kitti. “I’ve forgotten! Do you think that means I forgot to send him a thank you card?”

Kitti shook his head. “I know what God can do for me. He can go to work for me so I can stay home and work on music.”

“What has God done for us?” I asked, trying very hard not to let that Paula Abdul song into my head (it didn’t work).

“He made Sa’am really sick and we had to put him down.”

“But he did create John Barrowman. That counts for something, I think. But then he turned around and gave me diabetes. This isn’t looking good for God.”

There’s a billboard that says “Abstinence works every time.” Kitti and I argued about it briefly. I pointed out that really, it does prevent pregnancy.

“Who can really be abstinent, though? I mean it doesn’t stop priests.”

“Don’t be silly,” I said. “Gay sex doesn’t cause babies.”

Now we’re trying to decide if we want to go back and edit the sign to say “Absinthe works every time” or “Abstinence and homosexuality work every time”.

Decisions, decisions.

You heard it here first, people. Remember that. Back me up on this when it happens and I start yelling.

I’m waiting for LOLCat ATMs where it shows you pictures “You can has monies! How many monies you want?” And then you touch the picture of the twenty, the picture of the two twenties, the picture of three twenties, etc.

When it gives you the money, you get a happy cat face and “KTHKSBAI!”

If you ask for too much, it says “No can has :(”

LOLCat science humour below. Sorry for the overt nerdiness.

We constantly lose BBC America on Comcast. It was gone last night when I tried to watch Life on Mars. It was also off-line when we tried to watch the season one ender of Torchwood.

There was, at one point, a good seven months when it wasn’t working and repeated calls to Comcast resulted in a replaced cable box and still no BBCA.

The new season of Torchwood starts in January. I am going to pitch a fit if this doesn’t stop happening.

Does BBCA come as part of any standard satellite packages? Not that I really want satellite, but I’m really getting tired of not getting one of the only channels I watch.

Seriously. I want some sort of cable provider that’ll let me get the local stuff, all the Discovery-related channels, Sci-Fi, and BBC America. I don’t need/watch anything else.

Listening to: The Magnetic Fields - As You Turn To Go

What’s your 1974 Persona?

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now. If this makes sense to you, we mean, if you can truly dig it, then you are either cleaning out grannie’s attic, or you worship at the altar of the Gods of Rock. You thrive on Plant, Daltrey, and Sabbath and you frown upon those who don’t think that the greatest song ever recorded was Stairway to Heaven. If you’ve heard of Mad Dog 20/20, cloves, Boy Howdy!, and wore your hair down to there, then we raise our goblet of rock to you. We’re not worthy. It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n roll.
