As an argument for why nobody actually gets pregnant after being raped...
"Fact, the female body under extreme duress secretes spermicide in vaginal secretions."
Fascinating, in addition to the misplaced comma. I would like to subscribe to your imaginary newsletter where you make up facts that wrap up everything in a nice little bow to be just like you would like them to be.
/methinks the man who said this isn't familiar with what causes "vaginal secretions" in the first place... //hint: not duress ///unless you're into that kind of thing. |

| Photo albums? |

If I want to make an album of photos of different sizes (lets say 5x7" and 4x6") and orientations, is my only option to cross over into the dreaded *twilight zone music* Scrapbook Territory? I'd just as soon not. Yes, paper photos, I know... how quaint. Next I'm going to go churn my own butter. |

Don't put off scheduling an eye exam until you're on your last contact and your prescription has expired. 12 more days of seeing out of one eye...  On the plus side, apparently people with stereo vision get headaches when they have blurry vision in one eye. I, on the other hand, am used to only using one at a time.  |

| Roomba...wish I had a picture of that. |

I was in the kitchen while Roomba was slaving away as a robotic broom and dust pan. Now, of course, human in the kitchen in CatLand means "you will feed me delicious and plentiful foods, or at least give me a treat." Sydney was being substantially pitiful (plus I feel bad about leaving him alone for two days), so I grabbed the treat container. He was staring intently at me and voicing his approval of treats when the Roomba ran smack into his back side. Sydney gave the Roomba an indignant look, moved two feet to the left, and commenced staring at me expectantly again. |

Look, until you have proof that Barack Obama's maternal grandmother was not a U.S. citizen, you're going to have to accept the fact that he is a naturally born U.S. citizen and is thus eligible to be president. You'll have better luck trying to prove that he isn't old enough. |

Just thought you'd be thrilled to know that the old Har Mar Theater (ye of gilded sparklies) is now a Staples. Also, you missed your chance to bid on this chandelier from the theater.  |

My department at work is sponsoring a family for Christmas and one of the members is a 1-year old boy. I probably should have opened with that, but the ensuing 5 seconds of paralyzed fear was amusing.  |

James Lileks Column.
My favorite quote:When the over-inflated tech stocks blew into a pin factory in 2000, it was the same story: CHRISTMAS DOOM. Retailers were reduced to wrapping diamond necklaces in $100 bills and throwing them at the heads of customers. Even when the economy was running so hot you could fry an egg on the appraisal statement for a one-bedroom shack between a cemetery and a cyanide factory, we were told that consumers were pressing hard for bargains. If the most popular new gift was a top-hat incinerator and the second hottest was the top-hat -- actually, the three-pack; you saved 20 percent -- the stories still predicted a slack season. |

| Wii Fit- I can't believe it was that easy! |
[Nov. 11th, 2008|12:34 pm] |

I've been checking Target 2-3 times per week for the past several months with no sign of Wii Fit. Apparently some Targets have been having them sporadically, but not in MN. I also sporadically checked Best Buy and every game store I passed with no luck. Game Stop has them on their website for preorder right now (for shipping on November 14th), so I ordered one, hoping that maybe my order would actually be filled. And it shipped today!!! I get a Wii Fit in two days!!!  It had better not suck, that's all I have to say. |

| Norm Coleman is a Turd Sandwich |

So, when 75% of the city that elected you mayor twice thinks that you should not be holding elected office, maybe the rest of the state should get a fucking clue and, oh, I don't know... not vote for you because you're a slimy good-for-nothing sleezebag. Of course, the glimmer of hope in all of this, is that, as Ethelred points out, Norm Coleman (being douchebaggy weasel) will probably switch parties again to ally with those in power. Well, we tried. |

| Restricted item! OMG!!! I'm a criminal? |
[Sep. 27th, 2008|12:15 pm] |
I can't find any information about a law regarding mirrors in Minnesota, possibly due to the common use of the word as a verb. If only Google could parse search results for parts of speech.
Anyway... I bought some mirror tiles at IKEA yesterday using the self-checkout, and they came up as "RESTRICTED ITEM." Red text and everything. An IKEA employee had to approve my purchase. I don't know what illicit thing I was supposed to be doing with these mirrors, but I suspect that there is an annual quantity limit to prevent Criminally '70s Decor. |

It's already annoying me and it hasn't even started yet (we live less than a mile from the site). It took a ridiculous amount of time to get home from the liquor store last night (should be 15 minutes, but the freeway exits we would use are closed 3 days in advance of the convention).

Quote from an event organizer: "We're in Republican Hell right now." The fact that this was said in a professional capacity is an indication of how stressed she is. I wish I could take the first week of September off from work. I'm pretty sure that I live in the "No bad words" zone. |
