Oh, connie. I'm sorry for the both of you.
May good news and medical breakthroughs happen ASAP.

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

ND, I hope you can find sometime to properly celebrate your birthday on a day when you are not working.

All is well that ends in pizza.
ETA: Andi says someone posted this earlier, I must have skipped and skimmed. I don't care, this is cool.
I don't watch any Idol shows, I don't watch much TV at all any more, so I may have missed the boat on some things, but I happened upon the story about a 47-year-old competitor on Briton's Got Talent.

I love watching the judges jaws drop.

“Not dead yet!”
I loved Simon's eyebrows going up by about note three.
Some curmudgeon on EW.com was saying he didn't get it-- that her voice wasn't any big deal. Wanker. Her voice is untrained, sure, and no doubt she was nervous as hell (I know I would've been!) but it's definitely the real deal.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I was waiting for the judges to say, "Ok, everybody else can just go home. This is it."
Yeah, that's not how those shows work, but still...

I was waiting for the judges to say, "Ok, everybody else can just go home. This is it."
Heh-- funny you should say that. I was just watching a clip from CBS This Morning that aired today where they interviewed Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden, the Two Judges Who Aren't Simon, and they both said there were some interesting acts coming up in the next few weeks, because at this point, they know who the forty finalists are going to be.
They said something about a guy who came out dressed up as Darth Vader and did a Michael Jackson moonwalk.
Yeah.
I think Susan's got it, if she doesn't choke.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Okay, can this possibly be for real?
The Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) has a bone to pick with Michelle Obama.
MACA represents chemical companies that produce pesticides, and they are angry that - wait for it - Michelle Obama isn't using chemicals in her organic garden at the White House.
We are not making this up.
In an email they forwarded to their supporters, a MACA spokesman wrote, "While a garden is a great idea, the thought of it being organic made [us] shudder." MACA went on to publish a letter it had sent to the First Lady asking her to consider using chemicals -- or what they call "crop protection products" -- in her garden.
