I cannot be the only person who hopes that the guy who keeps saying “I think there’s a ‘squatch in these woods” in the promo spots is actually abducted and murdered by Bigfoot, like the Grizzly Man.
I seriously can’t get away from it. Last night, I just wanted a burrito, and there’s that weird jerk abbreviating the names of fictional creatures in the woods.

Also, things I’ve found/been shown recently that I’d recommend:
Spaced - stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Jessica Stevenson. It’s kind of awesome. They were allowed to say “shit” on television (“Alright, Brian?”)
Oreo-ball things - basically Oreos crushed and formed into globs, then glazed with white chocolate. My mom made them for Christmas. Turns out...
I just barely missed an ad for something called a Pos-I-Vac.
Based on what did manage to seep past my distraction, this is a very good thing.
Any ad for a vacuum-based device designed to “wildly increase your performance” is something that should not be played before my mom is crashed out and in bed and out of earshot. Hell, I’d rather they waited til after I went to bed.
My old roommate just asked me how she should get into Doctor Who.
I’m so proud of you, Caitlin.
Merry Christmas, guys!
Now, let’s get off the internet and spend some time with loved ones, friends, or whatever.

Sometimes
I burp, and it sounds like a zombie. Or like damned souls faintly crying out of the mouth of Hell.
Never any normal noises, though.
“You ought to expect better of people. It encourages you to be a better person...”
– So, I stole this from a webcomic. But it seemed profound.
Called out of work for the third time ever today. It’d be really liberating if I weren’t moving around like a crippled penguin.
Some days you’re really cool, suave, and together.
And some days you just have to listen to the Gin Blossoms.

From TomDispatch today: A must-read account of how the depredations of the 1% made the 99% possible and killed the right-wing idea of a “liberal elite” — Barbara Ehrenreich and John Ehrenreich, “The Making of the American 99%, And the Collapse of the Middle Class.”
This is a remarkable…
