For some reason I have "Barracuda" stuck in my head? Wat.



Now that I have started on a highlight, the news!

Obama knows his memes. SERIOUSLY? An appropriate response to "All your base"...! You guys, I will never stop being so full of love for Obama, never ever.

I'm pretty sure this is old news, but while legislating against baggy pants is a waste of time, Obama still advises that "brothers should pull up their pants." xD

We all know that not all the fallout from Tuesday was positive. While demonstrating against Prop 8 outside a Mormon church, protesters were beaten by cops and arrested. My stomach sank to about my knees when I read this. :( Linked from that post are each of the two men's writeups-- Mark's is the more detailed and longer, and he's also pretty funny which is weird given the situation. But yes.

8 year old boy charged with double homicide. All I have to say is, if a kid that young shoots his father and his father's friend, there's probably a good reason he did it. :/ I'm just gonna have to keep an eye on this story.

If there was an SUV that was getting 150 miles to the gallon, wouldn't you want to know about it? Apparently, Detroit doesn't want you to know. Hello, with American automakers circling the drain, they should take any chance they get instead of trying to shut down the people who actually have a viable answer! The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the CEOs. -_- Just because the way to efficiency wasn't cooked up in their own labs, they won't consider it... wtf.

Okay, here's an invention that isn't being muzzled: inflatable houses for immediate post-disaster relief. Made out of the same stuff as those bouncy castles at carnivals, the 12-foot tall structures contain "a bed, a couch, freeze-dried food, a 50-gallon water bladder, a first-aid kit, a radio and a cookstove." All the basic necessities in a four-by-four "Life Cube". Pretty sweet! If they could get the price below the current $3900, this could be the new scenery after earthquakes, hurricanes, you name it. "Anderson Cooper, reporting live from Inflatable Town."

I have nothing witty to say about this. If time travel is possible, this is the guy who's going to prove it. And that's awesome. Dr. Mallett doesn't have a Time Lord to take him back to see his father, so finding his own way to do it has been his lifelong goal. And he just may have done it.

...okay, enough science! It's a squirrel-skunk! Or a dalmatian-squirrel? Or... okay, it's a black and white skwrl and it's damn cute. :D

Oxford lists the ten most annoying phrases. I... I think I'm safe. I only use two of those, and infrequently. *phew*


Now, to write until I run dry, and then... probably Peggle. xD
