Funniest quote of the weekend: We rode the Passport bus to the Grand Prix and back from Alamitos Bay. Somewhere by the Bluff on our way back, we spotted a couple of ladies walking down the street holding hands. The woman in front of us turned her head completely, pointing at the couple, excitedly telling her friend, “Oh my GOD! Girl, look! Look! Lesbians holding hands!” The friend wore a Lakers hat and she didn’t really turn her head to look back, so I could only assume she’s local. I live in a diverse existance and I am an openminded...

Just got back from seeing Watchmen with Brandon and Lee. Lee, who is a big fan of the graphic novel, gave it a 4 out of 5. She said if we liked this, we definitely have to get the book, which we intend to do just that. Wow. What a revelation! It was stylized just enough. Violent in all the necessary places. I might need to talk to somebody about my mental state because Rorschach is definitely my hero now. Trailers were also massively awesome. Possibly the best line up of trailers: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator, and, for some of...

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was back in school at Mater Dei. Having heard Aurora talked about burning her hand on chemistry set back in high school at dinner time, in the dream, I ended up back in a chemistry lab. My lab partner is one of my school friends but she is for some reason in a wheel chair and for that I have to help her with her lab stuff. We were supposed to be measuring water into this beaker. She kept telling me I was doing it wrong, that was too much...

I’ve fired up my much neglected Facebook and updated my LinkedIn. Boy, did I gather up a whole bunch of new people! With Facebook, it’s friends and new activity buddies (like Thrill the World people). With LinkedIn, some long lost coworkers and recent connections. I personally haven’t used my LinkedIn to full potential, I’m sure. The Former DemiBoss is a true goddess when it comes to these things. She’s a real connector in person and that carries into her life in the social media. I used to really hate it when people say, “I’m glad we could connect,” or “Let...

Coworkers congregated in my cubicle over some chocolate covered almonds. “Have you seen Oakley’s article in the Daily Breeze?” Coworker #1 referred to my 15 seconds of fame. “No,” Coworker #2. CW#1 continued to tell CW#2 about Temple of Fresh & Easy blog. CW#2 snorted. “Who has time for that kind of thing?” And of course, CW#2 ranted on about how he doesn’t have time to do the Facebook or “such nonsense” because of his busy social schedule, implying along the way that folks who do those things don’t really have a life. That did it. Seriously, I am getting...

BBC News reports: Rabbit ripper shocks Germany …Rocco and Felina are among the 30 pet rabbits killed in the towns of Witten and Dortmund since last summer. Many of the rabbits have been decapitated and the blood drained from their bodies… …It is also unclear how the killer has been locating his victims. Most of the beheaded pets were hidden from public view, locked away in back yards or back gardens. It has raised the possibility that the killer has been using satellite images on the internet to find houses with rabbit hutches… …Fear is driving German rabbit-owners to hide...
