OK, fine, I wanted the thing, so I bought the thing, even though I really don't need the thing, and I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with the thing, but I love the thing, so leave me alone about the thing already!

Don't tell someone you've been on a few dates with about the amazing date you had last night. Tacky, tacky, tacky...

OK, I am officially now sick to death of the Amy/Rory angst. They're gone - get over it. (And thanks for ruining them for me, fandom.)

P.S. I never liked Rose, and actively loathed her once the mooning over 10 started, so I didn't need fandom's incessant misty-eyed "feels" to ruin her.

If people keep asking you, "Why are you being such a bitch?" you might be being a bitch.

If people keep asking you, "Why are you being so rude?" you might be being rude.

If you take pride in either of these things, I don't know that I want to be friends with you.

There's a difference between being able to express your opinion and having people disagree with your opinion; the latter does not negate the former. Neither have anything to do with your first amendment rights unless a governmental entity is involved.

Oh, look - the Teabaggers are terrorists now. Lovely.

To whit:

• A boring weekend and week so far. Q was working all weekend, so I stayed in and futzed around the house a bit (managed to finally get the Christmas tree packed away, for example). Nothing too exciting.
  
  
• Monday night I fell asleep when I got home from work, but last night we went out to dinner and got some shopping done.
  
  
• The new Olive Garden finally opened this week, but of course it's packed to the gills. Hopefully the novelty will wear off so we can go eat there soon. It's not gourmet, but at least it's another choice. I really need to put together a list to help us decide where to go since neither of us can ever make up our minds, and we end up forgetting half the restaurants anyway.
  
  
• Finally got my own copy of Ticket To Ride, which I'm quite happy about. Alas, the local gaming group organizer is moving within the next few weeks, so we need to decide what to do next (I'm willing to help organize, but I can't host - our place is just too small).
  
  
• The College has a new president. Can't wait to see what the students and faculty find to rail about.
  
  
• I see that Virginia's governor has chosen not to extend equal government job protection to the GLBT community. He's a choad, and I empathize with my friends from VA.
  
  
• Some people need to actually go away when they say they're going to go away - not 2 years later. GO AWAY.
  
  
• More snow coming tonight - huzzah! I'm appreciating it for what it is, but Q's oh so over it.
  
  
• This weekend I have gaming on Friday, then I think we're going to Ikea on Saturday. Next weekend we may go to a casino for Angel's birthday. At some point we want to do a taco night, but not sure when.
  
  
• Looking ahead on the calendar, and we have lots of travel coming up we need to plan for - Q's brother's wedding in April, CON.TXT, Philly Wizard-Con and a Tonner con in June, Pennsic in July/August, Gaylaxicon and another Tonner con in October... whew!
  
  That's it. I know, boring stuff, but that's my life. O woe is me.

It took Jay Leno to point out to you that you're a tool? Jay Leno? Really? Wow. At least, "What would your MOM say?" seems to have finally gotten through to you (although I would have said, "No one really cares what you think"). At least you FINALLY apologized to her directly.

Go take your time off, but, honestly, it doesn't change that you deserve the public tonguelashing you're getting, because you're a jackass - even the President of the United States agrees. The world could well do without you for a long, long while.

Kudos to Swift and Beyonce for being such class acts in the face of such idiotic grandstanding.

I'm a SIR, not a MA'AM.



(You'd think after 20 years I'd get used to this. I guess I should be thankful they're polite.)

Two amusing threads:

The first, in which some simple advice is offered in sca, followed quickly by drama of the highest, and finest, order. Alas, the original reply is gone, but it amounted to, "This is yet another example of the condescending, rude and insincere CLASSIST attitudes in the SCA," calling upon all those who fit that description to wear a favor emblazoned with a tampon (including the obligatory picture of one).

Some agreed - in fact, I think all of us in the SCA can agree that Authenticity Nazis are, indeed, condescending, rude and insincere. However, heaped upon this particular post was wholly unwarranted (which, of course, the person who replied now denies they were implying at all), and the vast majority of people are calling this person on their own condescension, rudeness and insincerity. Hilarity ensues - over 600 replies and counting!

The second thread was a follow-up post in sca_snark about the first thread.

I haven't seen this much SCA drama since Pennsic! :)

Oh, and Palin was somewhat amusing until her Barney Frank crack, but now, not so much. Thinly-veiled homophobia makes the baby Jesus want to choke a bitch.

"Obama has no experience! He's not ready to be president!"

"Obama picked a VP with experience! He's not really interested in change!"

Could you just frelling pick one, please? Thank you.

JEEZ.
