Tea Party Looks to Move From Fringe to Froce
This scares the crap out of me. Sarah Palin winning over a huge slice of potential voters, egging on a revolution, maybe even a third party.
Palin Responds to 'Run, Sarah, Run'
I thought we needed a revolution too. Back when W was in office. Where was OUR voice then? When we really needed one? Where is our voice now? Why isn't anyone calling these creeps out? WTF, wake up, America! We need to move FORWARD, not backward!

La Neige, or, Snow
Don't people know how to deal with snow anymore?
Ok, seriously people. This is not a "blizzard." If I can open my doors without snow falling inside, there ain't nothing keeping me in. In fact, generally speaking, it's hardly snowed at all up here in NYC. I've had to shovel snow twice, which is a hell of a lot less than last year (today will make thrice). This, on top of the fact that DC is consistently buried in snow, Florida's even seen flakes, and Oregon has snowed me in or out on numerous occasions, are very worrisome.
Now, I realize that I didn't live in Oregon long, just the last three years of high school and year and a half post-college, but there have been marked changes in the weather since then. Oregon's climate in the wintertime (when not on a mountain) is supposed to be a rainy, gray, 40˚. Schools were shut down for a centimeter of snow. A CENTIMETER. People put on their studded tires preemptively, and, in the end, unnecessarily. All that changed after my first year at college. Ever since winter 2003 my parents have consistently been snowed in, and I have been snowed out. The biggest blizzards Oregon witnessed were in the 5" range, but now it's averaging 1'-2'. That's how it's supposed to be here, not in the pacific northwest, and certainly NOT south of here. We should be getting the type of snow they've got in DC, and it certainly shouldn't be snowing in Florida.

Sir Patrick Stewart on Technology
He's just adorable.
Highlights:
"I don't like talking on the telephone! And I don't like writing letters!"
"Now I can pull up the complete works of Shakespeare, I can't remember a line, I just go online and there it is in front of me."
"The only aspect of all of this that I have never taken to, partly because I do have an addictive temperament, and that is gaming. I have a stack of games, but I've never taken the covers off them, because I feel that if I do, I'm finished."

LOST premiere
Quotes that incited the giggles:
"I've got a gun! And I know how to shoot it!"
"I'm sorry you had to see me like that."
"Anything to declare?"
"Just a murderer."
"I don't like the way English tastes on my tongue."

I don't know why I never knew of Michael Bublé until I watched him on SNL with Jon Hamm this past Saturday, but now I do, and omg, he sounds JUST like Mel Tormé! Bublé needs to cover "Moonlight in Vermont," like now.
