(I'll just let that sink in a minute)




Who is that beautiful man, you ask? Well, where the hell have you been? That's David Tennant, Scotsman, star of Doctor Who: Seasons 2 & 3. And, wow.
Now if I could just see him in a kilt I'd die a happy woman.

Happy fucking Monday, y'all!

Who needs a friday for a happy mashup? I don't know who did this (VJ Jaren is on the YouTube piece), but wow, it just made me happy. I love the Cure, always have, and Missy Elliott really epitomizes a strong female image in hip hop. She's the one who said - Don't have a cellular? It's all right...Don't have a gun? It's all right.... Making money, legally? It's okay....
Yep. I like her. Talented, strong, and in the face of everyone who says it can't be done.

Bat for Lashes

This is great. I seldom hear new music that I really like, and I stick with my old standbys. Also, the music world is overrun with men. Actually - the world is overrun with men. Lets see less of that.

Stout for health?

I was reading the BBC and came across this article about the health claims of Guinness being proven by some folks in Wisconsin. Why am I not surprised?
We in Wisconsin knows our beers, youse. What I didn't know, however, was that Guinness is so high in iron. I'm getting more and more anemic - I know the answer now! I've never typically enjoyed Guinness except when it's on tap in the UK, but I am revising my outlook.

Drink up, yo!

Overheard in NY - a good chuckler.

Splenda's Actually Sugar with Augmented Breasts and No Pubes

Chick #1: I always use Equal.

Chick #2: Why?

Chick #1: Well, I like to think of Equal as the women's lib of sweetener.

Chick #2: So... What does that make Sweet'N Low? The pre-lib? Feminine mystique?

Chick #1: Yeah... Just look at it -- pink and pretty, sweet, and bowed low. C'mon. It's like, 'Hey, ladies, be sweet and pink for your man -- use Sweet'N Low and stay in shape and he'll love you more!' Then there's Equal -- it's blue, it's bold, it demands attention. It says, 'Yeah, we're an artificial sweetener, marketed towards women, but we're equal!'

Chick #2: Um... Okay, so what does that make Splenda?

Chick #1: I guess post-lib feminism?

Chick #2: Uh, I don't even know what that is...

Chick #1: Well, see, Splenda's in court now because apparently neither does anyone else.

Chick #2: Wow... The history of feminism, as interpreted by Deborah, through artificial sweetener... I don't think I was ready for that at eight in the morning on a Thursday.

Chick #1: Yeah... But that was the only time it was gonna happen.
