In which I admit to watching Top Chef

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
The funniest line of the night was when Gail said, during judging, that Stefan's cooking "lacked soul." Lady, have you been to Germany?

Anyway, I think Carla's going to win. Stefan's going to once again expend all his energy getting in Hosea's head (and Hosea seems all too happy to let him) because I really don't think he sees her as a real threat.

Because he's German, And they're all Nazi swine.

Okay, now I'm curious...

As seen on...lots of other LJs, it's the Police Car Question:

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for? Answer, then if you want, post to your own journal and see how many crimes you get accused of.

(No fair looking at other comments first.)

It's the German in me

I know there's an excruciating amount of election left, but the combination of  drinking Stone IPA and watching Fox News - where I can enjoy Michael Barone's stricken expression and Bill Kristol saying  "this is going to be a bad night for Republicans" - might just cause me to spontaneously combust from beer-fueled/schadenfreude induced delight.

Taste the rainbow

Can cats eat Starbursts? I ask because Ripley goes batshit for this big bag of the things The Wife has for her Scout functions, and I want to make sure we're not going to come home one day after her candy opening skills develop to find a cat bloated to Mr. Creosote proportions on high fructose corn syrup and modified food starch.

Okay, I'll bite

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
First seen over at [info]arch_scrivener's, the old name three things you've done that nobody on your Friends' list has:

1. Been hit by a car three times (on foot and bike). And by "hit" I mean "struck while it was moving faster than 20 MPH" and by "three" I mean "between two and four."
2. Met Marlin Perkins from Wild Kingdom.
3. Put money on the Giants to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Need a vet

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Howdy LJ amigos, been a long time since I rapped at ya.

So it appears I need a veterinarian for our cat. Apparently they need "shots" and "preventive care" and other weird sounding shit. It'd be in Houston, obviously, and in the Heights/North Loop area would be preferable.

Oscar picks. I has them.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
The Academy Awards are this Sunday. As you all know, the party ain't happening this year, but I still want to have a competition. So I'm asking that everyone interested either fill out the form here: [http://www.whiterose.org/pete/blog/archives/010955.html] or e-mail me your picks no later than 4 PM CST, on Sunday, Feb. 24. I'll keep track of the results (your form answers will get e-mailed to me), and the winner will get...something.

Will Ruby Dee win Best Supporting Actress for only 3 minutes of screen time? Will Academy voters come to their senses and not give Juno the Best Original Screenplay award? More importantly, can anyone stop HWRNMNBSOL? Fill out all the fields in the form, click "Submit," and find out. The form worked the two times I tested it, but let me know if you have any problems (it'll take you back to the main APCB page when you're done).

And it Stoned me

So Eli Stone is basically Ally McBeal with a religious spin, right? Granted, I don't see Michael E. Kelly's name anywhere, but the whole "lawyer having meaningful hallucinations" shtick is awfully familiar.

"Wind" as in "air"

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Is it me, or does Mitt Romney remind anyone of Ken Wind from the Miller/Sienkiewicz Elektra: Assassin series?



I love Romney. I mean...I loathe Romney, but he might just be the purest politician in the race. I understand that all the candidates have "altered" their positions to better appeal to the largest mass of potential constituents (except for Huckabee, who's been a whack job all along), but Romney so shamelessly panders to whatever group can best help him reach the next political milestone, well, you gotta respect that.

Or not, actually.

Vote Quimby.

Howdy

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I recently realized that a pantload of people I'd like to keep up with have sequestered themselves over here on LiveJournal. So rather than leave lots of creepy anonymous comments, I've decided to create an LJ account and leave comments that - while just as creepy - will now be attributable to me.

So there you go.
