Mine?

Bought a t-shirt with shoulder bling (and shoulder PADS) today.

Time will tell if it is, as I suspect, the best.

Last.fm refuses to recognize “America, Fuck Yeah” as a song

Pointed commentary or formatting error?

Does it still count as blackface if it’s chocolatey and delicious and part of a culture which really does not seem to “get” the lasting impact of slavery?

Me: Oh, hey, what happened to your glasses?

Teacher: Well I was at the White House today —

Me: The White House?

Teacher: Yeah, it’s a cafe that looks like the White House.

Me: Of course. Go on.

Teacher: And we were doing a photoshoot with the graduating students, and I had chocolate on my face because I was Obama, and the students stuffed pillows under their shirts to look like… ummm…

Me: Americans?

Teacher: Yeah….

SURPRISE!!! of the week

I just saw Inglourious Basterds and I really liked it.

OMG they are making a Mr. Popper’s Penguins movie

Mr. Popper’s Penguins is:

• the first book I ever read
• my favourite book of early childhood
• seriously the best

Things Hollywood has already done wrong:

• cast Ben Stiller as Mr. Popper
• and a follow-up question: what do they think this is, a comedy?

Dear Hollywood, please don’t ruin this for me.

Judging by the number of days (in a row!) I’ve been too tired to wash my hair, hair-washing must be really tiring.

Don’t worry, I’m doing it tonight.

Don’t ask how I know this

But there is a series of Harlequin romance novels called Brides of Amish Country, which I really want to be hilarious but are actually probably just depressing.
