	A fairly nice day... SO FAR
	1) House rules: Don't fight on my journal. Don't. Disagree, discuss, that's great. But you will be civil and non-snippy to me and each other on my own journal. Take it somewhere else if you can't. 2) My stepfather decided to buzzcut the Angry Jasmine again. The jasmine then got so much angrier, in fact, that it disgorged a swarm of yellowjackets that stung him upside the head several times. I'm not even making this up. 3) Yesterday, I opened the front door to take Scout outside on his leash, and there's a dead bird toes up on the doorstep. A fairly large bird, too--you know, the size of a pigeon, rather than a sparrow. We have no idea what it was doing there, because it was under the little porch overhang fairly close to the door, so it couldn't have just fallen out of the sky or something.

Stephen Moyer/Pussy Edward comments: Ha! I'm waiting for hordes of Twilighters to scream "HEZ JUS JELOUS!", cuz you know it's coming.

Transformers 2: Aw, say it ain't so! I was actually looking forward to it.

I'd love to blame the bird on T.Ed. as well, but if I were to follow logic (silly logic!) I'd place the blame on Bad Cat. Does (s)he escape often? My former kitty used to break loose every few months, and she'd always leave us a dead avian or rodent on our doorstep. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a gift, or if it was her way of expressing that she did not like being an indoor kitty.

Actually, Bad Cat has been accounted for the entire morning during which it could have happened.

Something about the very special CGI, I think. Or 3-D-ness. All I know is that I've been hearing about this movie for so long I've gone through the hype-backlash-backlash against the backlash cycle about 15 times already. It's boring the crap out of me at this point.

Dufflepuds CGI's? What the real ones were unavailable? (*snurkle* ;)

Also - sorry if we did not "play well with others" in the earlier Last Airbender postings. We'll stop splashing the other kids in the pool, mom, honest. Don't make us go home! We WANT nice things!

Can I just tell you? I've used the original version of the DuWop Lip Venom, and it felt like I got punched in the mouth by someone whose fist was on fire.

My husband once gave me a smooch while I had Lip Venom on and promptly yelled and ran for the bathroom to wash it off. Then he asked me what the hell was wrong with me that I put that stuff on my lips voluntarily.

I told him I was a secret masochist. :-)

Re: "The New Male Beauty", what about those of us who love the brawny guys and the pretty boys? Daniel Craig makes my heart go a-flutter, but at the same time I feel the same way about Joseph Gordon-Levitt (and he's on the skinny, adorable side).

But on the other hand: FRAGGLE ROCK COMIC BOOK, SQUEEEEEEEEEEE.

AHAHAHAHAH! *points and laughs at Crispin Porter Bogusky*

See, I'm a graphic designer and I used to get this very self-important, smug magazine about advertising and they could NOT stop talking about Crispin whatever's WONNNNNNderful ad campaign. It irritated me before I'd even seen the commercials for myself. And then I was like, wow, stupid, you've never actually met a "consumer" before, having you?
