Friday funnies, now with more added serious bits.

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Excuse me, have you seen my lemur? Man cited for unsafe lemur-keeping in Clearwater Florida.  Scanged from Fark. Innercity hopscotch. Scanged from Reddit. NeilTyson from twitter sez – and I quote, “Stars in the universe far outnumber all sounds & words ever uttered by all humans who ever lived.”  Allegra sez – he never met [...]

aaaak. I hate it when the song sparrow’s a quarter tone flat.

Honestly, honestly, I want to run out there with a pitch pipe and give him what for.

Justice isn’t all that great in Canada, either.

Tragic, disgusting, and not for the faint of heart. Something so amazing, so wonderful, so marvellous, so mood-lifting happened today that I can’t bring myself to speak of it.  A day I have waited on for 30 years has come to pass, and the most beautiful thing about this day is that it will be [...]

I just had to repost it.  From Cousin Gerald.

Mozart, moods and metal origami

I was a complete frackup this weekend.  I did manage to get some cleaning and laundry done, and I did cook some meals, so I didn’t entirely lay about and do nothing – but mostly I did, while feeling sorry for myself. Saturday I bought work clothes for our dreaded new overlords have high standards [...]

Cats head-bumping

I do this with my cat Eddie all the time.

Geektingle… geektingle. Yeah

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

When you meet somebody who gets DRM, you get the geek tingle. Watched 9 with Jeff and Mike the other night.  Script laughably average, visuals STUNNING.  Definitely worth seeing once. I got a migraine yesterday, but I walked up to the same coworker who administered oxygen to me previously and he gave me painkillers and [...]

I have disliked the Fraser Institute for a while now.

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

From their shideous performance in the movie “The Corporation” to their let’s have a free market until we destroy the earth attitude, I really don’t like their research or their path.  So here’s something to actually provide ammo for those who like me have problems with the Fraser Institute.  And something else – Half a [...]

Margot did watch me work

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

She watched very very closely. With concern, her little head swivelling back and forth between my face and the trowel. Then she stood in the planters and sniffed the little white pine seedlings. V. Cute.

WARNING WARNING WARNING FEMINISM ALERT

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

I wish there was a tactful way of putting this in front of a couple of men I love dearly.  JEFF IS NOT ONE OF THEM, btw.  Anyway, have fun, and don’t let your blood pressure go up too much.  Have especial fun with the comments.

Not even with a beer in my hand and a few comments on social media

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

A series of large losses can make a small loss feel enormous. I told Rob I wouldn’t cry until I had a beer in my hand, and I lied then too.  I’m crying now, but Jeff is meeting the situation with sympathetic noises and the welcome sound of the coffee grinder.  I was going to [...]

Scanged from Reddit.

Jean Auel must be snickering

Fiction turns fact.

Irritation turns to eye rolling

Not gay enough.  Yup, that’s what they say. It’s funny that the organizers didn’t go out into the street and ask ordinary citizens if they think bisexual men are gay.

Politicians should tremble when I write nasty to them

Look Kash Heed’s getting sued!
