I think every government building should be next to a restaurant of some kind, if someone pushed that law I would make them president, then king, then god, then one of those Celestial guys from Marvel comics who put the mutagen in humans IN that order. THAT is how much I like the option of food being next to my errands.

Hey Kim, I hate to tell you this, but Elizabeth Bathory beat you to this idea like, centuries ago.

...thats a thing...that someone has done...in reality...by their free will. Not some horror film, and not under some horrible government experiment, but in the real ass world. This...this is a sad day.
Note that when I disagree, I am not disagreeing with YOU, there just isn't yet a button that adequately portrays my distaste for all things Kardashian.
Took the Pugs for a walk in the park this evening. The 9yo rode in his stroller, enjoyed it, and the 4yo peed on everything that we would allow him to get to. The stroller is a 3-wheel jogging stroller that my wife found at a resale shop for $20, didn't even look like it had been used.
Temp out here in SoCal just jumped to 95 degrees F today. Hot as balls, but at least it's not humid.
Just watched that movie last week. Sad to see how boring the show's humor is now after the seasons leading up to the movie, and the movie itself, were so hilarious.
The movie should've been where the show ended, Spongebob became the manager of the Krusty Krab 2( a fact that has NEVER translated into the show) and they were all still funny, it was the logical closure point. Now its only funny once in a blue moon (there was a new ep where they did some funny suicide jokes with Squid) or having plots that have less meat than Big Mac.
I'm not sure what the big deal is. Kim Kardashian probably just realized that there was one bodily fluid she hadn't been covered in yet.

Finally! Legal Chocolate Surprise Eggs Coming to the US by Easter
I don't know why I'm excited by this. The chocolate is probably waxy and the "toys" utter crap, but I've always liked the idea of Kinder eggs, and it's nice to see that someone came up with a way to sell a similar product in the US, despite our overprotective laws.
(Although, I feel I should mention that Lagomarcino's, a choclate company in Moline, IL, makes larger chocolate eggs filled inside with hand made chocolates. It's not a toy inside, but it's much better chocolate and probably should excite the adult me more than a stupid plastic toy.)

Wow, I thought we had it bad up in here NorCal with our 87 degrees. Yuck.
Swapped back to FireFox today, and man is it better than Chrome. Seems to run smoother and better in nearly every aspect at the moment.
Here's some historical revisionism for the day: Putin says Josef Stalin launched the 1939-40 Winter War with Finland in order to "correct mistakes made in drawing the border".
This was stated in a meeting he had with Russian military historians. I wonder if that's going to be the new party line on the subject.

Hulu in a nutshell. You pay eight bucks a month and there are STILL ads. That is the opposite of what an online video service should do!

How would it have been any better if they had discontinued something out of the blue they had charged money for? (which incidentally, they HAVE done to me, see below)
I would have had no problem if they had wanted to monetize it with ads or even a small subscription fee. But we're talking about a company who has 20% of their budget allocated to zany shit that will never earn them a dime just because it sounds cool to do.
But what this does is make me lose further confidence in google's willingness to stick to their guns and their other products, products they provided and encouraged me to become dependent upon both personally and professionally. Google Apps, Gmail, hell, they did this VERY thing to my company when they decided to get into radio by buying Scott Studios/Dmarc (who made the automation my radio stations run) and then unceremoniously gave the industry a collective "never mind," ceased development/support and put the assets up for sale where they got eventually bought by Scott's chief competitor who now has a near monopoly on the radio automation software market. Google is largely responsible for half the technical difficulty I've had to deal with since 2006. Not to mention how they basically just bought the place, and then fired everybody after their first halfhearted effort didn't start raining money like their web advertising did:
So spare me your sarcasm about my growing google grudge.[DOUBLEPOST=1363362087][/DOUBLEPOST]Heh, not that it will change any minds at google, but the change.org petition to keep google reader alive just passed 100,000 signatures.
I am now in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. And last night, I realized that it took flying to GERMANY for me to sleep in an actual honest to goodness bed for the first time in a year. Not a futon, not a couch, not a mattress on the floor. But an actual bed. So no matter what else happens on this trip, I have that going for me.
I know a girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend. I'm not that close with her, but we're ok friends. She posted a ton of statuses like "I'm so glad my friends can help get me through this" and "I don't know why some people do the things they do" etc. Then I find out the reason her boyfriend dumped her was because she had sex with another guy. I dunno. I feel like if I had a friend who cheated on his girlfriend and got dumped for it, my response would be something like "Well, no shit" but all her friends just keep writing things like "he doesn't know what he's missing out on." Just seems annoying.
"He could've had you cheating on him for the rest of his life and he threw it away!"
I know a guy like that, he's always the victim and it was never his fault. Glad I'm done with that guy.
I once met a woman who told me about how she felt trapped in a relationship with her fiance. So she got the best man drunk and screwed him the night before the wedding, making sure to text her fiance to come over and find them in bed together the next morning. She felt it was the only way to make sure she got out of it, because otherwise her "horrible" fiance would just forgive her for almost anything and try to work things out. Throughout the entire time she told me this story she felt she was right, because he was just so determined and in love with her that she felt suffocated. Bastard.
I decided it was probably a good idea not to try to get involved with her after that.
Did you turn her down by sleeping with her best friend and texting her?
I don't know the circumstances, but I doubt its the last one given how upset she was. Also, I don't believe any level of drunkenness justifies cheating.
My seven year old just started a conversation with...."Mummy, in prison ...."
You managed to get rid of your other personality?
