I have been defeated by bacon and pancakes today
This does not bode well for the rest of the day, especially since I’m supposed to go to my cooking group tonight
Cry of the Day: 35-year-old Sydneysider Kristian Anderson was recently diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Despite his illness, he wanted to express his gratitude for all the support he’s received from his wife Rachel, so he made her this special birthday video, complete with cameos by New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and actor Hugh Jackman.
Better get the plumber on the phone, because you’re about to break a water main.
This is incredibly beautiful. And yes, I’m bawling over here.
But they never talk about how stupid they are! The bar is set to zero and then everything is a bonus.
“My dog is so smart! We were having trouble opening the red wine, and he took the corkscrew and figured out how to twist the lever just right with his paw and mouth!” “My cat is so smart! We…
We talk about how dumb our cat is all the time. Then again, he does have some serious spacial relations issues.
the mister made me this because he loooooooves me :D
I am pretty damn excited about the new Batman Arkham Asylum
“Fuck this noise. Imma going to space.”

Happy birthday to the 19th Amendement! You’re 90! On August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution passed into law, giving women the right to vote. Gail Collins wrote about it earlier this month; today I mark it with the posting of “Sister Suffragette” from Mary Poppins. You could probably deconstruct that by pointing out that if Glynis Johns had been a more present mother then they wouldn’t have needed so many nannies, but let’s face it, anyone who knows that movie knows that “A British Bank” gives all the clues you need into that dysfunctional household. Actually, this is really the only thing that Glynis Johns gets to do in the whole movie, and it’s one of my favorites. (To be honest I cooled on Mary P. when she threatened to report Jane to the police for insisting they’d gone into the chalk drawings on the pavement. Not cool, Mary P.) Anyhow: This song rocks. It was about Britain but still - the sentiment is clearly universal: “Our daughters’ daughters will adore us, and they’ll sing in grateful chorus: ‘Well done! Sister Suffragette.’”
So: Happy 90th anniversary, voting American women!

“Take heart for Mrs. Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!”
Oops, I’m on Gawker …
All right, so I hadn’t watched Clint’s episode with the sound yet, and I am thoroughly impressed by how far he carried the “I’m going to embarrass my girlfriend on TV” thing.
The best part was the repeated use of the soundbite of him shouting “SMELLYYYYYYYYY!”
