Back-to-school in diapers
This disturbs me almost as much as kids who are still breastfeeding at age 4 or 5. That shocked the hell out of me when I read about it. I imagine that in 100 years kids will be shitting their pants and feeding from mom well into their teens.

Is Day Care a luxury or a benefit?
But really - $1400 a month for daycare? Really? You could rent the child a decent apartment for that here in Seattle. How are there not people lining up to be child carers on every corner? Thank god I never had kids; I have no idea where a chunk of money like that would come from every month. We'd be eating ramen and picking through the garbage for new shoes. (Plus they're stinky. Kids, not the garbage shoes. Well, yes, those too.)

One of the most depressing videos you will ever see
Thank you, elpapacito and halogen, for posting the update links. They help, a bit, in dealing with this. But I truly hope that we're not just seeing "pretty it up for the tourists" in the homes we know about while similar places are left to operate. It's hard to trust after seeing that, you know?

The Death of High Fidelity
I can't hear those subtleties anyway, when I'm singing along to "Atomic Dog" at the top of my lungs in my car.

The Serial Seducer
What's with this "cheap date" stuff? There's a lot in his schtick about not spending too much on the gal you're looking to bed. Admittedly, I haven't dated in a while (married) but I seem to recall that in a post-suffragette world, you split the check on a date. Is that over now? Are we back to "diamonds are a girl's best friend" and all that?

Women are, generally speaking, far more shallow about physical appearance than men.
Are you kidding?? Think of all the celeb couples in which an older, less-attractive man has a hot young wife. Now think of those in which the older, less-attractive woman has a hot young husband. Any? Shallow women go for money and power, shallow men go for looks.

A Boy, His Dog, and Their Descent Into Madness
Rev Bruce! Wow, so many nights of my youth were spent watching him, Shannon Kringen, and Bong-Hit Finals (was that what it was called?) on public access tv. I see Shannon on a somewhat regular basis, these days; she's a figure model for art classes. She's actually very nice, and surprisingly shy, in person.

Only if they raise the Titanic...
Hahah - I just saw that Celine is scheduled to play at the Tacoma Dome next year! Talk about not appropriate...wonder if she knows that Tacoma is best known for its pervasive smell (the "Tacoma Aroma")?

Not all endings are unhappy
After reading this discussion, it came as a creepy surprise this morning to read this on BoingBoing: "One user profile at gamertagpics.com, a popular networking site for XBox Live players, appears to show Shawn Hornbeck standing outside of Devlin's apartment, where police found him last Friday."

ho ho ho beard
You turned off the ability to add notes, fixedgear! Shame, 'cause all of these people look like they need hats.

Bleah - Flickr's not even loading now. Either they decided to deal with the freak-outers by doing some emergency programming changes to take the hats away, or some Santa-hater is performing a DOS on them.

Marcus Fiesel, shoved aside again.
I'm sorry, but I think that a lot of problems like this could be solved by making birth control of all kinds VERY VERY accessible. If I could change one thing, that's what it would be.

March Madness turns to Gladness for One Lucky Athlete
Oh dear god, no no no. THIS is why I never got a pug - one mention on a website somewhere that a sharp blow to the head can make their eyes come out and I was done with that idea. This whole eye thing just freaks me out so much that I can never watch the video, and just reading this post made me dizzy.
(Cheap high!)

Antique Jade Carvings
My dad brought me home a foot-tall jade rooster when I was a kid, and he was stationed in Vietnam by his employer. It's a beautifully carved piece, and has the added attraction of letting brag to people about my 12 inch jade cock (if I'm feeling really juvenile that day [which is most days]).
