I've cracked 5,000 words in the 10.5 summary, and I'm not even halfway finished yet. But I've got ten bucks that says about half of that word count is me snarking. Man, this movie is easy to write about. So much stupid ... it amuses me. ;)

So, yeah. I didn't get back from work yesterday until eleven. Got off at nine, got home at eleven. Why? Because it was too cold and rainy for me not to wait for a ride. And wait, and wait, until both of the early buses had left, which meant that by the time I did catch a bus, it was 10:30. Damn it, summer, if you could get here sooner simply for that reason alone, I'd really appreciate it. And all the dithering I did yesterday about whether or not to skip out on Medium to work on the 10.5 summary didn't even matter in the end, because I missed it anyway. *sigh*

In other news, Michael Schiavo wants his wife autopsied after her death to show the extent of her brain damage. Which, okay, I'd agree with, but the really vehement protestors aren't going to care if they crack her open and maple syrup comes out of her skull. They're just going to say, "Well, she could have learned to do a wicked pancake impression for the rest of her life." ("Aaaaand here's your one-way ticket to Hell, Ma'am.")

EDIT: Okay, so what do those mean, exactly?



GYAH OF EDIT: ACK. Suddenly, Jennifer doesn't seem like such a lame name anymore.

28 people trust you, and on average they think
3.3 out of 5 that you're nice
2.8 out of 5 that you're hot
4.3 out of 5 that you're cool.

Huh. That's cool. Thanks. :)

Okay, seriously, any parent who actually names their child ARYAN JUSTICE deserves to have their child taken away from them. WTF. *boggles*

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'd prefer them not having a clue to how that name sounds or them doing that on purpose.

*boggles* Aryan Justice? How- why- what? Uhm. *brain sizzles and dies*

*facepalm* You know how it says the name is French and means 'holy'?

... They meant Ariane.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

...and besides, "Holy Justice" is so much a better name, anyway.

*facepalm*

[phoebesmum.livejournal.com]

It's an excellent name for an evangelical superhero.

Oh, Lord. I stared at that for a few minutes, going "HUH? That's not what that means..." *seconds facepalm*

I've read, loved, and passed along the Windows error haikus, but it never occurred to me to icon them. Beautiful.

but the really vehement protestors aren't going to care

But it might stop them from filing ridiculous lawsuits or even scarier push the State of Florida to bring him up on criminal charges. And I know it sounds ridiculous, but you know... Bush and Bush are involved.

I've always preferred "Alexis" to my own "Jennifer" but I think I'll take my name over that, thank you. But hey, at least you didn't get lumped with "Jennifer Anne Smith." I think my parents were just feeling mean.

The first number is misleading, it's the number of people who think you're a star, not the number of people who've rated you.

Now, chances are that everyone who's rated you has given you a star, so it's probably roughly accurate that you're getting ratings of 3of5 for trustworthy/nice, 3of5 for hot, and 4.5of5 for cool.

Some of us aren't quite such stars, and are then led to believe that we're getting 7 out of a possible 5 as nice. Which isn't just statistically silly, but highly improbable. {g}

That Terry Shiavo thing is the funniest thing you've ever said. And that's high praise.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Okay, regarding the baby name- wah? How selfish can parents get, branding their kid with their political ideology from birth? I'm sure she'll have a great time going to a public school. Or maybe they'll send her to Adolf Hitler Memorial School instead. Ugh.

And regarding Terry Schiavo- Slate has 3 interesting perspectives on the case. One from a libertarian economist, one from Christopher Hitchens, and one regarding the difference between what people do in theory and what they do in real life. Just thought you might want to read them.

Woah. I still think 'bianca supremacy' is a sweet name for a girl. If it had been a boy, they would have called him 'apartheid klanman'.

[arikatt.livejournal.com]

As a Jew, I never want to meet that family.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Aryan Justice?

Okay... am I the only one thinking of Nazis?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Not surprisingly, according to a link somebody on wtf_inc posted, the parents are supremecists. Blech.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Bet you she changes her name to "MarryAnn" or "Jessica" or "Jennifer" or "Sally" or something before she turns 25.

[prettyveela.livejournal.com]

Do you have any idea if we can find out who's giving us the brownie points? Or is it all SUPERSEKRITOMG.

Judging by my grandmother's bitching about the Schiavo crap Sunday, the autopsy is because some people are complaining that he wanted her body cremated ASAP to hide the evidence that she was murdered/might have eventually woken up/whatever the "culture of life" people are claiming.
