Sign the petition telling CBS not to air the... →
The broadcast networks that air the Super Bowl have historically rejected advocacy ads. Yet CBS, which is airing the Super Bowl this year, has accepted an anti-choice ad by the ultra-conservative group Focus on the Family.
Focus on the Family’s “celebrate life” (read: anti-choice) ad features Heisman Trophy-winning college football star Tim Tebow. And CBS approved this...
Excuses, Excuses.
So I totally planned to go to the gym today. Really I did. I’m even dressed for it.
I decided to do some laundry first and then throw it in the dryer and go to the gym.
We only have two washers and dryers in this building, so I loaded both of them up and then came back upstairs and set the timer for 35 minutes (one washer takes 30 minutes, the other 35).
When I headed back down, some...

They’re airing that anti-choice ad but ban this one.
It’s total bullshit.
Fuck that.
And now i will avoid watching the Superbowl. I dont care that you show one the pro-life ad, but the minute you deny the a gay dating ad, i no longer support you because you are biased.
Amen.
Missing.
My doppelganger. It’s doppelganger day — both on Facebook and here on Tumblr and I came to the party with no doppelganger.
Boo.
Scott Roeder is going to Jail
allthingsalishan:
For a long time.
It took the jury 37 minutes to convict him of first degree murder.
That’s less time than it takes me to decide where to go to lunch.
I think I have a little more faith in humanity now.

Gisele Bundchen Had a Water Birth Because -- Of... →
Although Gisele Bundchen only gave birth to her first child, Benjamin, less than two months ago, she’s already back to doing photoshoots! A reporter from Brazilian magazine Fantastico had an interview with Gisele and described the model this way:
[T]he new mom looked radiant, beautiful and as “in shape as always, six weeks after the birth of her baby.”
Goodness! Gisele...

I was watching “Food Detective” at the gym this morning.
They had a challenge with the food techs requiring them to eat six saltines in 60 seconds. And no one won.
Slackers. I could’ve eaten six saltines and had time for six more.
Whoa.
It’s slippery out tonight. Be careful out there, kids.

They used to play this on a local radio station around 5 o’clock every day. Never failed to make me laugh.

Pete Doherty Fined for Having Heroin in Court →
Pete Doherty’s punishment for his latest drug-related incident won’t put him in jail. As Spinner previously reported, the Babyshambles frontman was arrested on Dec. 21, 2009, moments after being sentenced for reckless driving. A bag of heroin fell out of the Doherty’s pocket as he was leaving the courtroom.
According to Reuters, Doherty has now been fined £750 ($1200) for the...
Update.
Trash is gone. And I didn’t even have to get all passive aggressive. (actually I was just planning to go with aggressive — as in opening the door when I heard her door open and saying “Dude, really?” She’s little. I could totally take her.)

typo in last post of mine: “heading” s/b “head”.
Thanks. Fixed.
Oh, there's the reference to scripture.

I have seen this on a number of Facebook status updates:
If you are a woman that has a wonderful man in your life that works hard and would do anything for you, then repost this… because great men are few and far between, and I appreciate and love mine
Seriously? I’m glad you love your man and all, but puke.
Super hero capes will have to wait.

I had all intentions of coming home and making a super hero cape for P’s birthday (BEST TEACHER EVER, right? Actually we are BFFs outside of school so it is a little different), but I am just too damn tired.
After work, grocery shopping, cooking dinner, cleaning house, and doing laundry this lady is tired.
Hot pink capes lined with polka-dot satin will have to wait until...
I'm Curious.
I just advised someone not to bring his funky new girlfriend roses, but instead opt for something a little different, such as tulips or lilies or daisies.
What do you think? Are roses boring and played? Or romantic and sweet?

On Saturday, the day after receiving her diploma at her bedside, the retired schoolteacher died, pleased that she had accomplished her goal, her daughter said. Ames had been in hospice...
