things i am happy about:
jelly donut cupcakes frosted with confectioners powdered sugar,
learning to play the drums in rock band,
watching episodes of buffy the vampire slayer with my girlfriend on the phone watching the same thing a few hundred miles away.
(i thought i hated this show after the first season, but i've really enjoyed season two and beyond)

things i am unhappy about:
my laptop giving up the ghost today,
the feeling that no matter what happens in the primary tomorrow our politics will still suck,
waiting for my current employer to approve my contract while i'm still putting in hours.
(i really like my colleagues and the project, but i have growing resentment about the organization)

things i am neutral about (or just don't care):
microsoft/yahoo acquisition talk of any kind,
my inner curmudgeon growing stronger every day,
the super bowl now that it's over.
(watching with friends and making micro-bets while cheering against the patriots (just for the sake of spoiling the record season) was amusing though)

Do you think God was still talking through Mel Gibson when he DUI'd? How about you, sugar tits? Do you think Gibson spoke the Truth? Or even the TRUTH? (all caps being the christian world's highest degree of truthfulness).

Minneapolis is safe again…but for how long? A group of kids having a "Zombie Dance Party" spent the weekend in jail on "suspicion of having 'simulated weapons of mass destruction.'" In fact, the ersatz WMD were homemade stereos, possibly because the zombie dance party required some sort of zombie dance music. The suspicion came by way of the wires sticking out of the backpacks.

Here's Police Chief Wiggum on the incident:

"Given the circumstance of them being uncooperative … why would you have those [bags] if not to intimidate people?" [Inspector Janee] Harteau said. "It's not a case of [police] overreacting."

What's your favorite part of that statement? Apparently, it's a crime to be carrying something that someone else thinks isn't WMD, but looks sort of like WMD (but probably sounded more like Milkshake).

And since that last link came from Yahoo! does anyone else find their new line of double entendre ads creepy? Like Jack Nicholson's the Passenger commentary creepy?
