Don't mind me. I'm bitchy. Well, bitchier.

If I hear one more word about the Ronald Reagan funeral procession crap on the local radio stations, my head's going to spin around and projectile-vomit my last twenty meals. Seriously, some people need to stop sounding so devastated and shocked about the whole thing. The man was older than some of the monuments his body is passing on the way to wherever they plan on propping him up. The fact that he finally died? Yeah, not that much of a shocker.

I'm starting to think the only good thing that'll come out of this (well, for me, anyway) is that I might get paid for one of my vacation days this weekend if they close the station. Grrr.

Also, it's nice that Julia Roberts is pregnant. And hey, twins. Go, her. But if the entertainment magazines would lay off the usual "Look! A movie star got pregnant!" stuff, I'd be grateful.

Example? "All of her friends say she'll be an excellent mother." Well, jeez, what the hell else are they going to say? "Once she came to Thanksgiving dinner and played touch football with our newborn, and when she made a touchdown, she spiked the kid against the nearest hard surface and did the Icky Shuffle."

And how about "She's always wanted to have children." Again, what's your other option? "She never wanted kids and we had to pry the phone number to the nearest abortion clinic from her clenched white-knuckled fingers."

And they really need to stop making it sound so utterly miraculous she's having twins, too. There's nothing miraculous about a baby conceived in the womb of a woman and fathered by a man. Now, when two homosexual men conceive a child all by their lonesome outside of a fanfic, we'll talk.

Of course, you realize this means metaquotes.

Hee. What does it say about me that your comments on Julia Roberts' pregnancy immediately made me think of this icon by bad_kitten?

[lady-eldarwen.livejournal.com]

See thing is, after Erin Brokawhatever she was asked if she wanted kids. Her responce was no and along the lines of Pretty Woman didn't make her want to be a call girl. So yeah so much for always.

What gets me is they keep mentioning that "twins run in the family" as if this was a double ovulation or a split egg. It was in vitro fertilization. o_0

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. I might actually buy that she'd just kind of conceived twins without any help whatsoever if they weren't being all, "It runs in her family! It happens a lot in women in their late 30s! They were just so happy to be in Julia Roberts' womb, they cloned themselves! Believe us, damn you!"

Well, that, and if they hadn't mentioned the in-vitro stuff in every magazine article she's been in since she got married. Sheesh.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

GRRR!
A) yes, finally Reagan is dead, let's all have a party, but do we need to see the fucking funeral cavalcade? I think not.

B) Whoop-dee-shit, Julia Roberts got knocked up. Can I have a half-holiday with pay now?

Where are all those types of icons coming from? They look like they've been made by the same person but hugely different subjects. Link?

[citizenjess.livejournal.com]

They're all coming from here (http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml). :)

Okay, forgive me, I live under a rock. In China. Hence the username...

But... Julia Roberts is with someone? Are they married? When did she get pregnant? Why does no one *tell me anything*?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

She married a cameraman named Danny Moder a couple of years ago. And now she's all knocked up with his twins through the grace of in-vitro fertilization dumb luck and genetics.

I'm pretty glad that there's practically zero to none coverage of the Reagan funeral over here where I live. Honestly, people die every day, it's not such a big thing, you know.




I've always wanted to hear someone say something like "Oh, she's always wanted children, she reckons that they'll be right nice for a pot roast by the time they're three" in an interview.

Oh, pumpkin, I adore you and I echo every word that poured (growled?) from your fingertips!

Yeah, my man's ex-wife had twins with him, at age 31. As we all know, the older a woman gets the more likely she is to have multiples whether it's natural or invitro. "Miracle" or "amazing", it ain't. And since I'm exposed to these rugrats in their nauseating matching outfits (though they're not identical) regularly, another thing it ain't is "novel" or "interesting". But I digressed. ;)

[faith21.livejournal.com]

thank you. and i imagine you must be more sick of it than i am because you're around d.c.
but yeah, the man's dead. and? people die all the time. this wasn't the first. it's not like, "oh, where'd he go?"

and although i have a government job, i don't get a paid day off tomorrow. (i'm taking off anyway 'cause i only work 4 days) uggh. stupid new jersey.
