Disney buys Marvel comics

I have Dissidia.

However, I cannot PLAY Dissidia because my second-hand PSP needs to be updated. The wireless is broken, and I don't have a memory stick.

I am denied the shiny!

UPDATE: It's updating from the disk!!!! Will have shiny soon!!

From HuffPo: Iran criticizes Italy's suppression of protesters. "Iran summons the Italian Ambassador to Tehran Alberto Bradanini in protest against the violent suppression of anti-G8 protesters. Bradanini was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Friday to hear Tehran's concerns about the 'violent suppression of justice-seeking protesters by the Italian police.'"

Irony, Iran has it.

Thank you, Mark Sanford, for embarrassing the state of South Carolina. Again.

PDF of the decision

So, this morning I went to the grocery store to do my shopping. The only bagger they had was an itty bitty girl with braces and pigtails named Jenny, so I told her I didn't need any help getting my stuff out to and into my car.

On the way out, I saw a cart that someone had abandoned half in one of the handicapped parking spots. So I figure in order to help my itty bitty name sake, I'd grab the cart as I went by and put it into the cart carrel when I was done unloading.

Well, I soon learned why it had been abandoned: the damn thing attacked me! It snuck up behind me as I dragged it along and took a chunk out of the back of my foot! It bled, and it hurt, that kind of hurt that makes you want to be sick in public all over the back of your car. I didn't scream, but I whimpered and cursed a bit. But I still dragged it to the cart carrel.

Cleaning it also hurt, like, a lot. Goldeneye came rushing into the bathroom when I yelped to check on me, then rubbed against my other leg the rest of the time. Mom looked at it when I saw her a couple of hours later, to make sure I hadn't missed anything when I cleaned it, and said, "Nope, you've got a nice triangle gouge in your skin, it'll be sore and take forever to heal since it's right were your shoe will go."

*sigh*

All because I wanted to help my itty bitty name sake.

FDA confirms probe of NUTRO pet food related deaths and illnesses

Sometimes, it seems like going through the hassle of making homemade cat food might not be such a bad idea after all... :-p

I wish I was making this up.

Huffington Post quotes CNN, local newspaper, and Politico, so that shoots the "it's just a joke" theory out of the water.

Money quote:
Sanford: "What you're doing is buying into the notion that if we just print some more money that we don't have and send it to different states, we'll create jobs," he said. "If that's the case, why isn't Zimbabwe a rich place?"
--Yeah, just ignore the fact that the leader of the country is a CORRUPT DICTATOR... unless he's also trying to compare Obama to Mugabe

( Some things can only be expressed by macros... )

There are days when I really really really really hate the people who run my state. I keep voting against them, and they keep coming back...

This message brought to you by the OMGWTFBBQ?!?!? Committee.

American Life is some anti-abortion group, and man have they got their panties in a bunch...

Krispy Kreme will be running a promotion (as they often do) on Inauguration Day, by offering a free doughnut of choice to every customer. "By doing so, participating Krispy Kreme stores nationwide are making an oath to tasty goodies -- just another reminder of how oh-so-sweet 'free' can be."

American Life says, "The unfortunate reality of a post Roe v. Wade America is that 'choice' is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of 'freedom of choice' is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand."

...

I can't make this shit up, people... I'm not that dumb, or narrow-minded, or something.

...you can't open the bag of chocolate.

*headdesk*

Today is the Light Up the Night for Equality vigils coordinated by Join the Impact. I have them on my Twitter, and this just flashed by...

JoinTheImpact: FRED PHELPS PLANS TO BE AT CHICAGO VIGIL!!!! SPREAD THE WORD!! Show him what love looks like Chicago! PLZ RETWEET!!

If any of y'all live in Chicago and can be there at 5pm your time, could you go support human rights?

Tonight it will be 22 degrees.

Tomorrow night it will be 18 degrees.

Did South Carolina get moved to the North Pole while I wasn't looking?

Absolutely nothing about yesterday's protest. Like we weren't even there. Like it doesn't matter.

Fuck you. Fuck you and the fucking neo-con high horse you rode in on. We WERE there. It DOES matter. And we WON'T STOP until we're all equal.

I'm getting gray hairs.

*sigh*

Oh well... maybe people will believe me when I tell them I'm 33 now. ;-)

Citigroup buys Wachovia for billions and billions of dollars.

My mortgage, which I am proud to say I've never been late on, is with Wachovia.

*flails* Guess I need to call my credit union STAT and get that stuff taken care of... CitiGroup is a CREDIT CARD company, I sure as hell don't want them putting their germs all over my mortgage and house.

This is still America, right? I didn't get teleported to another world while I was working, did I?
