The thunder woke me up and hour ago. Since then I have been glued to the local storm coverage--commercial free! Why do I like watching idiots freak out about snow? The best part is when they send reporters out to suffer in the elements or drive to where the biggest traffic jams are. Yay snow!

PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Right now the vote is 49% all. What do you think?

Use the AFA site against them. Their web form lets you replace the snarky message to send kudos to Halmark.

Hallmark Greeting Cards has announced it will begin selling same-sex wedding cards, even though same-sex marriage is legal in only two states. The purpose, they say, is to satisfy consumer demand. It appears that their purpose is also to push same-sex marriage. Last year Hallmark began offering "coming out" cards - as in "coming out of the closet" -- a euphemism for announcing homosexuality.

Roller derby is a hard-hittin' fast-paced sport! There is always a chance that a rollergirl could end up in your lap, so pay attention and ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

NO LARGE BAGS OR BACKPACKS ALLOWED! So leave 'em in the car! We allow re-entry with a hand stamp so you can always get stuff later. Also, no outside food or beverage. Small pillows allowed.

NO TAILGATING! Please refrain from tailgating with your own alcohol. You will jeopardize our (cash only) beer garden. Also, please be responsible after the bout -- don't drink and drive! Rollergirls don't like drunk drivers, and we'll kick your ass.

CASH ONLY! If you forget to bring cash from home, don't worry! There will be an ATM conveniently located inside the hangar, so no more dashing to the 7-11 during halftime. Be sure to check out our cash-only merchandise table and concessions.

Friday 9:45 at the Cinerama! Wanna join me?

I think I need to finally break down and get one. What do you use? Do you like it? Anything I should avoid?

I am trying to research, but I have no idea what I am looking at .... resolution, iso rating, aperture range, metering. Is more, better? Um... help.

I jammed! It went way better than expected. I actually felt like I had some speed in spite of the heat. I got lead jam on my first attempt, which was good because I was able to call it after Punchin' Judy knocked me on my ass. I even managed to score a couple of points, thanks to Femme Fatale single-handedly holding off DLF so I could get by.





My second jam was better, great blocking and an epic pile up let me score 13 points!

As requested, here are the monkey pics:

There is a half a second of me skating in the intro to the DLF feature on MSN.

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11

Which term do you use?

Why?

Where'd you grow up?

I spent this afternoon hanging out with my family. We died eggs, did algebra, got into a gold fish fight, and played a little full contact Sorry. It was pretty relaxing, plus I walked away with a basket full of jelly beans and chocolate.

My 13 year-old-sister is the same height as me and now provides me with a number of hand me downs. It is great in the pants department but a little mortifying in the bra department. Ah well...like free food, I rarely turn down free clothes.

Why have I not been to this place?
