Rant On

You suck big donkey testicles, yesterday afternoon's riders of the 312...how could you sit there with an obviously (very) pregnant woman standing within sight of you and not offer your seat? In a city so famous for its manners, next time why don't you try and display some? I realize that you worked soo hard for that seat, but hey, it's not your wife and kid, is it? Fucking bastards.

End rant.

Random Snippets of Conversation Taken Out of Context

Scene: Greenlake jogging trail

Girl 1: "It's okay, but sometimes I get tired and take my hand off, but he puts it back on."

Girl 2: "Hmm."

This has been another edition of Random Snippets of Conversation Taken Out of Context.

"Pining for the fee-ords?"

Tip o' the hat to BoingBoing:

In this youtube, two West African scam artists are duped into re-creating Monty Python's famous "Dead Parrot" sketch. The men sent a "419" email to a scam-baiter (someone who tries to humiliate and waste the time of rip-off artists) who told them he was in a position to give large cash grants to promising film-makers, and advised them that the application process required applicants to submit their own Dead Parrot Sketch.

The thing is, these guys are actually pretty funny. They're certainly better at being comedians than they are at being rip-off artists.

The big haul

The surprise baby shower went off without a hitch, Arb had no idea what we were planning. How we managed to keep it a secret for almost 2 months is a mystery to me, but it worked. Many thanks to Ame, LHS, Peter Arthur and SunnyD, who hosted the shindig at their place. It was a good time, though I think I got a bit overwhelmed with all the stuff we got during the gift opening, knowing we would eventually have to find a place to put it. The onesies from Uncle Jason and Auntie Nicky were facking awesome, what baby wouldn't love to wear J's scowling puss on his chest?

Having people customize onesies at the party was a great idea. My fave is the Slayer one by Robb. I think that's going to be part of the "going home" outfit.

Don't have pics collected yet, I have to get them from the attendees, as I forgot my own camera.

I might have to sell my body to the night

for Police tickets

What did you think of their Grammy performance? I thought Andy and Stewart looked a little lost or nervous, Sting his usual overconfident self...the jazzed-up version of Roxanne wasn't bad either, though it sounded more like Sting's solo stuff than the Police. Which may be ok, since I didn't like the remixed version of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" on the Greatest Hits album.

June 6 in Seattle!
