these Dems might not be able to get anything done

but theyre having fun

despite having one of the largest majorities in congress in history, the dems are poised to be stymied by a guy in a truck, a guy with an orangey suntan, and rush limbaugh.

but at least they still have a sense of humor.

and at least theyre doing it at the expense of that maverick sarah palin.

i say we elect the former alaskan governor and put her speeches on pay per view. when people asked me what i did last weekend i said are you kidding, i watched that tea party convention.

tea partiers + sarah + watching peoples heads explode couldnt be more entertaining.

although i really wish there was a camera on the manhattan beach kid who tried to buy urine from two elementary school kids so he could allegedly pass a drug test.

you know krista oceanaria

she used to live next door to you outside toronto

but now shes gone and moved all the way to an island on the west coast

to follow her dreams

and live in a beautiful way that will make you sigh.

and now shes selling some of the prints from her amazing photos.

the things she does with not even a fancy camera are inspiring.

buy all of her prints and make her your printsess.

i dont want anything

not a hybrid, or a toupee, or five golden rings.

i dont want a 401(k) or a kilo of coke or a six pack.

i dont want kids, or a mortgage, or a divorce attorney, or an unhappy wife.

i dont want a pit bull, or an invite to a black & white party, or a jury summons.

i dont want a trip to the gym, or a dell computer, or kindle.

i dont want a side salad, or a lesson in grammar, or your opinion of the newspaper industry.

i dont want public speakers who cant speak well, or a new business suit, or hard shoes.

i dont want a makeover, or spiritual advice, or a gold chain.

i dont want to speak at a funeral, or an invite to have coffee, or a parking ticket.

i just want the cubs to win the world series, and then the luxury of dying in my sleep.

One side effect of the breakup was my hesitant deletion of every single Sims game I own. Sims 2 with all the expansions, and Sims 3. In the 8 months that Dave lived here we both played an absurd amount. (Do you REALIZE how much custom content that is!? Like a billion.) I did it as some sort of therapeutic measure since I haven’t played at all since he moved out, and it was more or less our “thing”…not to mention, those games take up ALOT of space. Which brings me to my cool point. After all the games, custom content, and (while I was at it) any other rogue files I didn’t really need anymore were deleted, I ended up freeing FOURTEEN GIGABYTES (14GB for the laynerds) of HD space. That’s a bittersweet moment if there ever was one. I think…

pictures i took this weekend

mixed with nasty comments on Wonkette of Matt Welch’s Snowmaggedon video

Depth…takes a holiday? – Dashboard_Buddha

In Minneapolis we call this “Thursday” – This Cat

Yo Snowmageddon I’m really happy for you and I’m gonna let you finish, but the Blizzard of 77 was the baddest snowstorm of all time! – Crank Tango

In watching the video, I see people in the windows mouthing the words ‘Oh look-another retard with a video camera filming snow and pretending to be journalistic.’ You know what this video needs-blood, lots of blood
….the blood of Matt Welch spilling all over the sidewalk while the undead within the buildings come to feast upon his twitching soon-to-be-lifeless flesh. – vaporware

C’mon you guys! Y’all are really harshing on poor Matt Welsh and his umbrella trek to Whole Foods to get, um, dish detergent. For nine whole minutes. Florida would shut freakin’ DOWN if we got snow. – hoosiermama

Texas shuts down when we have morning frost on our lawns. – El Pinche

As a former resident of the city of Miami, I recall having all the snow we ever wanted — year round. And we LIKED it. – RoscoePColtraine

Seems like a nice neighbourhood. Pretty snow on the trees. WHAT ARE THEY COVERING UP?!!!11? – the problem child
