Dogpile on the random post!

-- I haven't asked for a Dreamwidth invite yet, but if anybody has one and wants to throw one my way, I'm certainly not going to turn it down. :)

-- I may have two thousand words on the Merlin story already. That's the most I've written in three weeks. o.O

-- NASA decided to name the treadmill after Stephen Colbert instead. Hell, I didn't expect much. I do, however, think it's a little asinine to end up naming the room Tranquility when it had the eighth highest number of votes and Serenity came in second. Okay, I get naming it after the Sea of Tranquility, but ... come on. It came in eighth. Everybody knew it was a bullshit poll and that Colbert probably wasn't going to get the name. But is it too much to hope that the second place name might get it? The third? The sixth?

-- 7 Stupid Tax Evasion Schemes (People Are Actually Trying) Noted, as per usual, that when I write the word "Stupid" in the link to a Cracked article, it's usually not "Stupid" when you get there.

-- I laughed harder at the Dickipedia entry for Octomom than I probably should have. Especially this line: ... she divorced her husband because they couldn't conceive children and she wanted to start a family, which he would later learn was actually an incredible understatement.

-- A personal library kit. WAAAAAAAAANT.

-- Those idiotic teabagging parties are today. I hope they all have a lot of fun bitching about paying the taxes that went towards the roads they drove to the tea parties on and the public parks a lot of these stupid things seem to be held at. (As somebody on Jezzie pointed out, this is what happens when you support abstinence-only education. No sex ed means not knowing what "teabagging" or "m4m" means before using them in your political movement and hilarity ensues.)

I think I'd be a lot less irritated by the damn things if there weren't so many participants who have no problem throwing around heavy-duty allusions to revolution as if that's not creepy and overblown and possibly treasonous.

-- Amazon launches "gay" Kindle to make up for "glitch." Aw, AfterElton. Heh.

-- 27 Retro Movie Posters

-- 10 Likeable Cinematic Tax Agents

-- I haven't gotten to see the whole final episode yet, but YAY SUNNY! It wasn't a surprise, but damn it if it wasn't well-earned. Jesus, nobody's had a run like that on any version of this show I've ever seen. And he's so darn wee and cute and ... and BIDDELL! I missed Biddell so much.

That personal library kit is so cute. You'd think I'd get enough of that at work, but even so...WANT!

I will say that I'm not thrilled with where my tax dollars go (if I made enough to even *pay* taxes that is, so I mean to say my theoretical tax dollars), but that's because too many of them go to the military... and somehow, I don't think the people protesting taxes in general generally mind about the military taking something like, what, half our nation's tax money? What do they even DO with all that?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, most of the protesters seem to be the sort who don't mind taxes when they go towards bombing brown people in other countries, but have swooning shit fits if it goes towards, say, health care or the unemployed or education in this country.

A lot of it seems to have gone to Halliburton. Oh, but that's fine, I guess.

I am now in physical pain reading the Dickipedia entry for "Your mom." ETERNAL GRATITUDE.

Dreamwidth has said, somewhere, that if you log on with an OpenID thingo, you get an invite code when they come out of beta.

Where are these teabaggers getting the idea that Obama isn't acting for the benefit of the entire country? What is it that makes them feel as though they're not represented? I'm so baffled by this movement. Where was all the tea when our national budget was getting sunk into a war that very few of us supported?

Invite code on its way :) I just got one a couple days ago and I've been waiting for someone cool to ask for one, hee.

[lady-shain.livejournal.com]

I've been patiently waiting for a DW code; good to see you got one!

Also - personal library thingy - they're everywhere here, and reasonably inexpensive - message me privately and I'd be glad to send you one.

Have you gotten one yet?

(ETA: hi, I can read comments, really I can. *headdesk* never mind :D)
