Thank you, CNN. Until now I just wasn’t sure.

It’s stories like this that just make me want to cry. Uncontrollably. Either that, or beat the living shit out of someone.

U.S. students say press freedoms go too far

*sigh* Every high school should have a Thomas J. Keenan.

You know you have a caffeine problem when…

…you refer to the people who work in the local coffee place as “your dealers.”

This is just too much for me…

So in my research about the Dove Foundation I came across this lovely little post in a forum….

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said “in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man a woman.” I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination… End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them…

I took the day off from work today (it was one of those use it or lose it deals) so I decided to sleep in. I was rudely awakened by the phone. It was someone from the DOVE foundation and he asked for “the lady of the house.” So I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and he started in on his speech… “Our organization is concerned with the growing amount of violence, sexual content and foul language on television today…. ” I would have loved to tell him what I thought, but I don’t have any children or grandchildren, so he wasn’t interested in my opinion. Thanks for waking me up, jackass!

There are some great pictures of the snow storm on phillyskyline.com.

Get out your wigs. Tomorrow is Wear Your Wig to Work Day.

Check out this flash animation on the Eagles website. It has got to be the cheesiest thing I have ever seen. EVER!

Hey people, just an FYI…

WATCH BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!!!

Trust me, I have seen the future.

You can thank me later.

Well, before 2004 fades too far into the past, I wanted to make a list of my favorite albums from last year. I will spare you the commentary on each individual album, but I welcome other people’s thoughts about them (positive or negative). Here they are in alphabetical order (by band), because I suck at ranking things:

Dear Bono, Adam, Larry and Edge,

I am so freaking pissed at you guys.

from UrbanDictionary.com:

dodo
A bird that is thought to be extinct by the majority of humans. In reality, they are building huge weapons of mass destruction in the underworld and are waiting for the perfect time to attack the human race. They are always watching us when our backs are turned, but if we turn around, they are suddenly gone due thanks to their amazing speed.
“The time has come to surrender without any form of fighting to our new masters. ALL HAIL THE DODO!”

Fun night. Edo and his friend Richard convinced me to go to Rittenhouse Square for a snowball fight. What a beautiful night (almost under a blood red sky, for those of you noticing a theme…).

Well, it’s snowing here in the city. Regarding my earlier comment about hating winter–I must admit, I do love the view when it snows. Check out some pictures from our last snowfall on phillyskyline.com.

I hate…

…winter in Philadelphia. It was 13 freaking degrees (F) when I woke up this morning.

…”reality” television. I’m so tired of hearing people complain about it. If it’s that bad, then don’t watch it!! I’ve never watched “reality” TV. EVER. And I never will.

…SEPTA. Worst and most expensive. In the country. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure, SEPTA is our sorry excuse for a public transportation system here in Philly. Currently, they want to jack up our fares to $2.00 per token/$3.00 cash (not to mention cutting service, etc.). You people suck! For one thing, stop using tokens. And maybe you could send some observers to see how they do it in NYC.

I want one of these. Well, not really.

Drink up everyone!

Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly does a person swallow a toothbrush?!

The BBC World Service published a global opinion poll today. Almost half of the nearly 21,000 people in 21 countries who responded to the poll… made no distinction between the Bush administration and America itself. Read more here.

Hello world? We’re not ALL like that!!

While I’m on the subject of awesome free computer software….

At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, I have to say, if you haven’t checked out Mozilla’s new browser Firefox 1.0, you really should. The tabbed browsing alone was enough to convert me, but there’s a host of other reasons to make the switch. It’s more customizable, better at fighting spyware and other malicious material, has built in pop-up blocking, and all sorts of built in search functions (google, amazon, imdb, dictionary.com, wikipedia, to name a few). It let’s you import your old settings from Internet Explorer, too. I love it.

Tried out the new Picasa 2 software last night, and let me just say that it kicks ass. If you have a lot of digital pictures, you should check this out. In a matter of minutes, we made a slide show that looked like it could be on the history channel (you know, still pictures + moving camera = simulated action shots). It also provides great organization and easy editing tools. Anyway, it was very, very cool.
