I think I'd need a little bit more than that to run into significant diminishing returns on enjoying world travel, but an extra 30 grand/year would eliminate pretty much any unhappiness in my life with a monetary cause.
Bye, now. Have good sex.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Not enough ew in the world for that video.

Jesus. I didn't watch the video, but WHAT the hell?? That's beyond gross and seems like it ought to be against some law or other.
In completely other news:
It's a very big amount of adorability to wrap your head around. I wouldn't be mad at him if he didn't get the scale of it.
Gosling is really just... I love his interpretation of the two kids in his class when he has to share the shorter bar, "You're old, you're not good, I've seen you in movies, and it's just weird. Why are you here?"

Our wings are not tired.
I know lots of parents and can't even imagine any of them finding that funny. Yeah, seriously ick.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Totally. I watched that video twice this morning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I recall hearing about a month after Obama's election in 2008 that he was going to close Guantanomo (sp?) Bay. I was so thrilled to hear this that I just about cried real tears - which for my ass would be a big thing.
Then when it did not close and with all of the subsequent actions that support the unitary executive and indefinite detention, I'm just kind of numb.
In policy and perspective, Obama is what we once thought of as a moderate Republican. Which 1) shows how extreme the GOP party has become; and 2) is still a bit too right for me.
I will not sit out the election because while I am quite a bit left of Obama, a Gingrich (or Romney) White House would be disastrous. Their tax policies alone would fuck us up.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's not a movie, and not precisely holiday-ish, but it's lovely and I wanted to share. A Fred and Ginger vid, Identical Snowflakes. Best present so far this year!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So lovely, and a perfect midday respite from nervous fretful brain chatter. Thank you, Bev!

I apologize if this has already been posted, and I can't imagine it hasn't, but JUST IN CASE:
More Ryan Gosling being adorable: [link] Goes right to video, interviewer asks him about the Hey, Girl thing, with which he is familiar.
