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.

Ronen's Everything: Pet owners love to talk about how smart their pet is

Ronen's Everything: Pet owners love to talk about how smart their pet is:

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.

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!

Wipeout Contestant Competes Just to Embarrass his Girlfriend:

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!”

These are my new foot tattoo’s, the cat on the left represents my boy cat O’Malley, he has a bandage on one leg representing his disability as he is semi paralysed down one side after giving himself brain damage when he was a kitten. The right ginger kitten is his sister Toulouse :)

Tattoo’s by JJ @ Pins & Needles, Newcastle.

I love that this girl’s cats are named after characters from the Aristocats

Anjelina Jolie to direct her first film. Writing the script, too. Don’t know if it’s her first script as well. Hope she kicks ass at both.

This is awesome. Love. Her. And always happy when another woman takes that director’s chair.

hunting: am i doing it right?

hennypotter:

step 1: find an advertisement for a job.

step 2: send an email [or fax when available] with cover letter and resume.

step 3: after a few days [usually 3 or 4 depending on my level of excitement], call to follow up. to make sure they received info. to ask if the position has been filled.

step 4: cry when they either don’t answer and never call back even when you leave a message or tell you the position has been filled.

are follow up phone calls a good idea or are they just annoying?

Follow up calls are always a good idea. I wouldn’t have my current job if hadn’t followed up. I called after I sent in my resume and that got me an interview. A follow up after that got me a return visit. And a follow up call after that got me the job. In my opinion, follow up calls show persistence and initiative.

I know all the rejection is disheartening, but look at it this way: the people who find your persistence annoying are probably not people you want to be working for in the first place.

Keep it up and Good Luck!

Ladies of Firefly. This would make one hell of a poster!

If only this were out there getting fans when the show started, ha.

Jewel Staite looked better with a couple more pounds on her.

I wish I had 75 more “like” buttons.

I miss this show so much. I realize that perhaps it was all the sweeter for having been so short, but I always wish there had been more. Also, I want to be Gina Torres when I grow up.
