because they've been sitting on my DVR for a month, but I fucking love Glee. This show is dark and hilarious and fabulous. Ryan Murphy, you lost me there with Nip/Tuck after it became a pit of suck, but you've gained back my respect. Bravo - keep it up.

This guy over the last decade pretended to be a child and wrote to various people - serial killers, elected officials, Larry Flynt, and here are the replies. I like Charles Manson and Clarence Thomas the best.

ETA: Now that I've thought about it a few more seconds, Larry Flynt's is really the best.

I was reading Pearson v Dodd for my torts class, and it is a case about a scandal exposed about Connecticut Senator Thomas Dodd in 1969 or so, and I wondered if he was Chris Dodd's Dad. One quick snap over to the internet and indeed, he was Chris Dodd's Dad. That's not the weird part. According to Chris Dodd's wikipedia page, he dated both Bianca Jagger and Carrie Fisher.

That's really hard to comprehend.

This was taken at 9:47 p.m. and I was not inland, but 200 feet from the Pacific Ocean. WTF?

"Obama isn't the only one who wants change."

I wanted to get a picture but my phone wouldn't zoom enough.

I was sitting on the can taking a crap just now, and Theo came in to join me for moral support, and I composed a poem in his honor while sitting:

Theodore, oh Theodore,
My tuna of fat,
My favorite cat.
You are so sweet,
With your little white feet,
Begging for just one more pat.

My iPod just shuffled from The Dead Kennedys' Holiday in Cambodia to John Denver's Calypso.

But I just discovered it and it is killing me.



In other news, I leave for my trip Thursday morning and I cannot get rid of this stomach flu (which I originally thought was food poisoning) and it's making me really angry. I do not want to be sick on this trip and I do NOT want to be trapped on a plane for 5.5 hours with the shits.

My trip is in 17 days! Woohoo! I can't wait to see Independence Hall, or the Mutter or MOMA. I'm so excited for those of you I'll be meeting (remember hyenas, plan for Philly on Friday night 07/10/09 for our get together)! I can't wait.

I'm really looking forward to going to the top of the Empire State Building. It is the tallest building in NYC again, you know.

My new Skechers I bought are really comfy - I wore them all day yesterday so I could break them in, but they were perfect. They don't need breaking in at all.



I am going to be limited to VERY little luggage - I won't have time to go find each hotel early in the day to leave things there before going out and about, I'm going to have to backpack like I did in 1996. So I really have to pare things down so it's manageable. It will be a challenge, but it'll be sort of like Tetris so it'll be fun.

And last but not least, I leave you with this gem I saw at the grocery store yesterday:
