do you miss Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, and the Hellbeasts/Olsen Twins all living in the same house, spewing saccharin and dealing with the tough issues (like Michelle not eating her radishes and Stephanie hating DJ because Mr Bear smells like mold)? do you miss the general misrepresentation of how American Families really are? then do something about it!

bloody US Open. they're holding it in Tulsa next week, just down the street, so the property management people are tightening security around here , making us wear our badges, giving us parking passes, and closing down most of the entrances to the parking lots (which is really inconvenient. i have to drive a quarter mile more to get to work now, dammit), and having lots of blustering idiots security guards walking around. i understand that they don't want our parking spaces filled with golf fans (who would?), but tightening security in the building? do they fear that someone may sneak in and find out what movie ABC is showing two weeks from Saturday? or are they worried that a rogue golf fan (or Tiger Woods, maybe?) will gain access to an unattended-yet-logged-on computer and change Acorn the Nature Nut's rating from TV-G to TV-PG? or say that it's closed captioned when it's not? egad! the evils they could accomplish here!

Parents Say Web Sites Teach Fucking Profanity

A coalition of parenting groups today urged Congress to introduce a more stringent Communications Decency Act, arguing that profanity-filled Web sites are a bad influence on their children. "I used to think my kids got their potty-mouths from the shit they saw on TV and radio," testified one frustrated parent. "But after surfing the Web, Jesus Fuckin' Christ. That must be where they learn it."

Billy Cadwaller, a father of one from Macon, Ga., described how the Internet has soured his relationship with his 11-year-old daughter.

"One night I came home late and went in to give my little girl a kiss, and she wakes up all coughing and blinking and says to me, 'Oooo Daddy, you are shit-faced again,'" Cadwaller testified. "Now where did she learn that? I'll tell ya. I went to that Googly search engine and found 95 sites had the phrase 'you are shit-faced' on 'em. Ninety-fuckin'-five."

"Fuck," responded Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.

this shit fucking cracks me up, especially the quote from that cuntfaced Hatch.

The 13 Scariest White Guys in America. i don't think i'd consider Roger Clemens one of the scariest, even if i was a Mets fan.

the article can also be useful to Werewolf players. it provides some Real Life Examples that can be used as the bases for antagonists in a Pentex chronicle. it's scary that you wouldn't have to make any alterations to the Real Life Guys' characteristics to use them.

Anthony Stewart Head confirmed for SCI FI Wire that his Watcher character will no longer be a regular on Buffy (which we already knew), but that's not the disturbing part of the article. it's in the last paragraph: "I'm doing a BBC series called Manchild. It's about four men in their 40s dealing with life, sex and midlife crises. It's like a male equivalent of Sex and the City."

eww. Giles shouldn't be doing things like that.

with all the wonderous advances in increasing hard drive capacity, why don't they make floppy disks that hold more and still fit in a regular floppy drive? and if they do make them, why aren't they readily available at the local Hell-Marts? heck, since i'm asking stupid questions and wishing for stupid things, why doesn't Southwestern Bell call me up and say "We like you. Have free DSL for life so you don't need those big floppy disks to transport large files from work to home"?

i'm a big fan of Animal Planet. the other night, i saw The Jeff Corwin Experience. the show is informative, and Jeff's a goob, but jeez he's nice to look at. he had that whole Billy Zane thing going for a while.

i put in some extra time here at the office on saturday. i know, it's totally out of character for me to work more than absolutely necessary to retain my job, but i thought the extra money would be good to have for vacation next month.

the mind numbing monotony of my job became apparent when i left here, went directly home, and just sat there staring at the cats because i was too tired to do anything. my job is not strenuous in any way, and with the boss's condonation of two hours of goof off time every day (in addition to the goof off time i'm able to sneak in), it really is a cakewalk around here, but i leave here more fatigued every day than i did when i spent all night unloading trucks for Hell-Mart. although the cats like it when i vegetate, because it means i'll pet them more, i hate when i spend an evening doing nothing.

yesterday evening, i watched the Slayer Chronicles since there was no Buffy on last week, and as "Graduation Day" began, i suddenly remembered that the Tonys were on. i flipped over in time to catch the beginning. there wasn't anything really that stood out, but i did enjoy the entire show. following up Buffy with the Tonys though has left me more juiced than ever about next season's musical episode (speaking of Buffy and music, hop on over to Jean's and read her version of how next season should open. Spike sings! it's really sweet, and it works).
