Oh, neat. Thanks, people!

Because books.

Hey, it works! Okay, I officially want one of these. This is awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fucking hell, I love technology. I spent last night loading a community-modded OS onto my sucks-so-much-I-replaced-it-a-year-ago phone, and it's fucking marvellous. I'm tired as all hell, but my phone's lovely now. I still don't know how to do it as easily to either of the Android devices I use on a daily basis, but I still feel a bit of accomplishment. One step closer.
Fucking A, man.

I lurve my iPod Touch. Although I do have to upgrade my songs--I apparently forgot to load a bunch of Christmas albums on it when I bought it this past March, and I'm missing listening to my Charlie Brown Christmas, the Roches We Three Kings, and John Denver and the Muppets.

Dag, Pujols to the Angels for 10 years/$250 million.
You buy a lot of things for $250 million. Like, all the Trader Joe's Multiflavor Holiday Jo-Jo's in the world. Times 500.
And they get C.J. Wilson too.
Not that the A's were going to compete anytime soon, but that's tough sledding in the AL West. Looks likes we might get the Angels first-baseman out of it though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Whoah. I wonder how much money the Angels are going to pay to have Pujos sitting on the bench with an injury.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Whoah. I wonder how much money the Angels are going to pay to have Pujos sitting on the bench with an injury.
He's averaged 155 games a season over his career. What the hell rich guys? How come the Marlins and Angels and Nationals have so much freakin' money? It's insano crazy money. And the Mets and Dodgers and A's and Giants are trying to scrape together teams with Happy Meal Toys and Groupons.
Oh well. The Red Sox had the Best Team Ever going into Spring Training and didn't even make the playoffs. And the Phillies had the Greatest Rotation Ever and didn't get much for it either.
I'm actually not too bummed about it because the Angels have done the same stupid thing that the Yankees did. They've boxed themselves in with a huge long term contract. They're still paying for Vernon Wells bajillionaire contract and he's basically useless.
Still, that Angels rotation of Weaver, Haren, C.J. Wilson and Ervin Santana will be the best in the AL. And they'll bring up uber prospect Mike Trout shortly too.
But I'm sure the Angels won't give a shit if they can nab a couple of WS titles out of Albert's tenure. Having Vlad in his prime didn't get them that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love the iTouch, as well. Moreso when Owen and Olivia are using it and the iPhone to have Harry Potter spell duels. Not so much when Owen watched the Annoying Orange non-stop on Youtube.
I think I feel a migraine coming on. Either that or a bounced check, which will bring on a migraine.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hello parent Buffistas. Per usual, I spent a ridic amount of money on books for my niece and nephew for xmas.
My SIL has become very involved in a Freak Ass Church. Total cultsville, and she's taken the kids down with her.
The books I got the kids? The story of Galileo (gorgeous illustrations, and doesn't hold back on the church arresting him and confining him for life), a book about the Big Bang that is truly awesome (you're made of stars!), and some other sciencey things that are written for their ages.
Now, I understand I'm being a subversive punk. I do. What I need to know is, how do I justify it?
Signed,
Sneaky Auntie
