Activity here, see?

This is a post to get some activity on this account so it's safe from deletion. I will be backing this up later today, because I'd like to save some of the stuff I posted here in college.

Have a great day.

I found this great recipe. I love it!

Dear Netflix users,

"OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE IS GAY IT HAS GAY STUFF IN IT HOLLYWOOD IS TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE GAY UNLESS YOU'RE GAY DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE I CAN'T BELIEVE (actor) KISSED ANOTHER DUDE I TOTALLY LOST RESPECT FOR HIM!"

Is not a movie review. If you are not emotionally or sexually mature enough to handle gay content, find out if a movie has gay content before you watch it. If you do see gay content inadvertently, turn it off and go find something else to watch.

Imagine that!

This is the main things I've been meaning to post about.

We have a new addition to the Family! 5 month old Cocker Spaniel was adopted by us at the humane society about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He's smart, responsive, and learning to be well behaved. My mother and I are madly in love with him. His name is Sherlock.

The precious kitties are still a little unsure as to what to make of the new arrival, but Sherlock shows no signs of wanting to do anything other than play with them.

( Collapse )

He's been confirmed by the vet to be pure bred cocker. He has a 'roan' coat and one blue eye and one brown eye. All functions normal.

Please bask in his awesomeness.

This seems to be my trend now: Go a MONTH or more without posting, then do a series of entries in rapid succession.

Anyway, this one is to say that yes, I'm on the bandwagon now. I saw "Wicked" on a Broadway tour a few weeks ago. I'm in LOVE! I ADORED it! I'd read the book and listened to the cast recordings, but I'd never seen it before.

As most of you know, the musical adaptation is loose at best. But really? I think I liked the musical better. I felt like the ends tied together better, it was less convoluted, and was just a tighter, more cohesive story. The only thing was I really didn't think they needed to tack on a happy ending. Still, I was in love. I adored it.

I'd have to live under a rock not to realize that what Cats and Phantom were in the 80s, and Les Miserables was in the 90s, Wicked was in the 2000s. So, while I actually had a lot of sympathy for the Broadway fans who thought Wicked was being over-hyped, I couldn't overlook it either.

Anyway, I thought it was a gorgeous show. I thought it was a beautiful story about not only friendship, but about how beauty and popularity skew people's perceptions, and how far perceptions can stray from reality. I thought it was not only a lovely addition to the "OZ" universe, but a powerful statement about the way society can be. The staging is spectacular, sets and costumes are gorgeous, and the cast was stellar.

It's been years since I've seen a show (not counting seeing shows that I've seen before) and fallen in love. So, it was a wonderful experience.

Going to the theater-cast of Company tonight! Horay!

Democratic Senator Anthony Weiner gets into a sex scandal, and becomes the butt of media jokes. Democrats call him a distraction and ask him to resign. A republican does the same thing? It's the liberal bias of the media making a big deal about the incident because he's a republican!

This will be the downfall of the republican party. Plain and simple.

WAS LAST WEEKEND MADE OF WIN OR WHAT?

A pretty lady married a prince and became a princess, and a bad guy died. It's a fucking Disney movie!

I'm not celebrating death, but rather punching a hole in an organization that threatens life. And I also admit, I'm celebrating our President. I'm hoping that maybe now those who want to (not disagree with him) but berate him with malicious fiction will now show some respect and debate him civilly, and maybe people will be less likely to believe their lies.

But, maybe I'm just being overly optimistic.

At any rate, the royal wedding was so beautiful. Kate's Grace Kelly inspired dress was divine, and all in all it was a fairy tale. I hope having a real love-match in the monarchy will help ring in a new era, where royals will not be thrown in with "proper brides" they don't even know, and tragedies like the Charles and Diana wedding won't be repeated.


I'm also so happy that today is free comic book day. I have a morning shift this morning, going home to change, then off to get geek swag. Woot!

All in All life's pretty good.

I don't have a problem with marijuana. I don't smoke it, but other people smoking it doesn't bother me. I know that science has proven that it's no worse for your body than tobacco, and impedes your judgment and behavior significantly LESS than alcohol. I also know that historically the only reason it was made illegal to begin with was because it was poised to threaten the tobacco industry, and the tobacco industry put a lot of money into propaganda and misinformation to get it banned. I also know that if it were legal it could be regulated and would be safer, we would take greater government control over who it was sold to (You think a drug dealer cards people and doesn't sell to minors?) and we could tax it and help our national debt crisis.

That being said, is it ironic that in spite of having that opinion I HATE stoners and stoner "culture"?


When every musical artist you listen to is either Bob Marley or someone else closely associated with pot smoking, when the only magazine you read is "high times" when you have a fucking pot leaf tattoo and every article of clothing you own is either Rastafarian colors, has Bob Marley on it, or has "legalize it" or other pot-related patches crudely stitched to it... when every single online handle you have ends in the numbers 420 and stoner and pot smoker is the cornerstone of your ENTIRE FUCKING IDENTITY....

...you are a douchebag.

And I don't have to have a moral objection to smoking pot to think so.

Have a good day.
