I have a Friday Night Lights hangover today. After many suggestions from people telling me I should watch the show, I tossed it onto my Netflix Instant Queue and watched the pilot on my Xbox last night. Then I watched 9 more episodes in a row. I watched 7.5 hours of the show in one sitting.
My back hurts and I have a too-much-TV headache and I woke up at 1PM. Still worth it, though.
Hah!...

“Many contemporary feminists view facial hair as a political statement… to which...”
– Beard Revue
It’s quite cozy though but really… Samuel Adams Honey Porter and chocolate cookies together, just the thought of them cooperating makes me drool.
I have a plan. It’s brand spanking new but seems awfully well thought through, it’s sheer brilliance in its simplicity. It’s Samuel Adams Honey Porter, chocolate candy and the latest episode of Leverage. Bring on the christmas night!
I hate that everyone is already home on Christmas...

Stop spending time with your families and entertain me!
Hrm, let’s see…
Once upon a time two mooses were out flying. Suddenly one of them said:
- Hey, we can’t fly!
Then the other one said:
- That’s ok, my father owns a hot dog stand.
… no? Well, if you were swedish, you… probably wouldn’t think it was funny either. Sorry.

Sitter hemma hos mina föräldrar i ett finrummet, som angränsar till TV-rummet, där nyss nämnda föräldrar sitter och tittar på Bingolottos uppesittarkväll med Lotta Engberg, och jag frågar mig själv varför i bövelen jag inte sitter med dom stora hörlurarna på.

“När journalister frågar mig i vilken riktning jag har försökt förnya och utveckla verksamheten under min tid som sekreterare, brukar jag svara att man inte kan tillämpa denna vedervärdiga managementjargong på en inrättning som Svenska Akademien. Sysslar man med språket och litteraturen, lär man sig att “utveckling”är ett struntord, ungefär som “kompetens”. “En kompetent människa är en människa...

Obama's unity call falls on P.C. ears →
notthatkindagay:
Keep your eyes on the prize, boys. Obama’s campaign to unify the country — which last I checked includes millions of Warren’s fellow travelers — is in the service of an administration whose stated policy positions are the most supportive ever on LGBT civil rights. Winning over support for a pro-gay president from anti-gay leaders isn’t just defensible, it’s downright...

Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away this morning, December 18, 2008, at age 76, at 12:27 AM in her Bel Air home. She died peacefully, in her sleep, and was surrounded by family and loved ones.
“My mother truly acknowledged and appreciated the fact that Star Trek fans played a vital role in keeping the Roddenberry dream alive for the past 42 years. It was her love for the fans,...

Idag släppte Spotify en uppdatering och då började tjänsten att bli ännu mer värdefull - den kan nu scrobbla till Last.fm dvs. det finns en social dimension att använda Spotify. Smart att använda sig av Last.fm som ju redan används av rätt många.Deepedition, Dec 2008
Hurra! Bortsett från de mer svårtillrätterliga problemen, som att allt man vill lyssna på inte finns och portabiliteten är låg,...

Saying Inaccurate Things on Purpose

ryanpurtill:
Sometimes I think it is funny to say things that are blatantly wrong on purpose in public. This can be a horrible habit cause people either think you are an idiot or just funny, but watching people react is hilarious. Here are a few examples
1. Today I got some coffee at work but only put like a shot of coffee in my cup and when someone asked why so little I said ...

BUFFY: Nothing’s ever simple anymore. I’m constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate. Who to trust. It’s just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get. GILES: I believe that’s called growing up. BUFFY: I’d like to stop then, okay? GILES: I know the feeling. BUFFY: Does it ever get easy? GILES: You mean life? BUFFY: Yeah. Does it get easy? GILES: What do you want me to say?...

Film Addict: How many of IMDB's Top 250 have you... →
This reminded me of twofifty.org. Haven’t been there for ages and it seems to be down, and seem (by googling) to have been down for weeks at least. Hope it’s not forever. It’s a good service.
On the other hand I found 250films.net instead. Seems good too.
My current, as of today and not taking into account I might have seen but forgot a couple of the movies I didn’t...

All I want is to get a bunch of couch cushions and sleeping bags and build a fort on the living room floor, and for us to hide inside of it and just be in love with each other.
Best. Idea. Ever.
Well, as long as there’s lego and cheese, of course.

Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy | Newsweek.com →
squashed:
Newsweek has an article on what the Bible, properly interpreted, says about gay marriage. It makes a compelling point that most of the Bible’s references to marriage should not be considered teachings. For example, the Bible does not suggest that we look to King David as a model husband. The Bible’s language regarding marriage is generally time-specific and should be considered...

I have never lived a day without laughing, because even when I cry I just think about how ridiculous I probably look and then I laugh. There’s no sense in being serious about the one life you have to live.
