Ebay is awesome!
okwhatnow:
I handed over my claim to Ebay about 2 hours ago because Ebay ripoff dude “MetalHeaven2009” wouldn’t answer me. Just got an email from Ebay saying they decided the case in my favor and I already have the money back in my PayPal account :) Amazing. Ebay really came through this time and was so quick about it. IMMD :)
Yay!! Ebay is pretty awesome. They are serious about cutting...
Kya's New Year Resolutions

Spend more time getting aquainted with my asshole. I don’t feel like I’ve given it the proper attention in 2009.
Bark at even more arbitrary shit. What was that? THE HEATER TURNED ON!?!? HELL YEAH!! Now that’s something to bark about!
Nap more often. 18 hours a day just isn’t cutting it.
Eat more eggs. Who cares about the noxious gas it gives me? I literally fart directly into my...
I miss the word "asshat"

Bring it back.
Combine it with bringing back high-fives. Every time you high-five someone say “asshat!”
It has to catch on.
I’m busy trying to bring back the words “fart-knocker” and “suckdiculous.”
Holy shit
I’ve just discovered that “Zach Galifinakis, Live at the Purple Onion” is streaming on Netflix. My night just got awesome.
I forgot my mp3 player at home today
I need background music to concentrate, and my work blocks all streaming sites, so Pandora, WOXY, and NPR are out. So I’ve been forced to listen to the only thing anyone has uploaded to the “My Music” folder on the main server for use by Windows Media Player. What has been uploaded? Hours and hours of Grateful Dead Music.
So I’m slowly going insane. I don’t even...
Neil Conan has the shit job at N.P.R.
As the host of Talk of the Nation, he actually has to deal with all the ridiculous people who call in and shout accusations and dumb statements at the actually well-respected guests. I guess the kind of people who are free between 2pm and 4pm on weekdays to spend half an hour calling into a radio show are pretty weird.
With an hour left to go, you can hear his voice cracking with despair.

Not because it lacks any meaningful character development (which it does), not because its plot is laughably flimsy (which it is), and not because it is little more than a big-budget remake of FernGully, but because it is yet another example of b-grade Hollywood moralizing, of not very smart people with typically superficial good intentions offering Americans an insidiously...

I don’t understand either.
I think it taste like asshole.
Yeah. I mean, I think of it in terms of beers that my grandfather’s generation drank. Shlitz, Schafer, PBR, they all evoke that image for me. They’re all pretty inexpensive these days. (supply and demand, all that) I think it’s sort of interesting that a whole new generation has...

The funeral is Sunday.
Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and/or prayers.
She won’t have internet access until Sunday night. I’m sure she’ll have more to say then.
It’s a shame when it happens to anyone.
A toast to BAL’s father, and to BAL and family.
Here here. You are in my thoughts BAL and family.

What's better than sex? CUPCAKES of course!

And there are no sexier cupcakes than the ones at Sugar Cupcakery in Milford Ohio.
Located here (you can also connect with them via Twitter and Facebook)this lovely little cupcakery is simply to die for! From the ambiance of the small town bistro to the dine in eating experience to supporting a local women owned business to the decadent cupcakes, Sugar Cupcakery is a heavenly...

It took the guy 21 FUCKING days to tell me that I wouldn’t be getting the DVD set I ordered for my dad. 21 FUCKING DAYS! It’s Christmas Eve Eve!! What the FUCK am I supposed to do now???? :( This sucks… :(

And I guess Garrison Keillor, feeling stung, had to drop the mask a bit:
Ordinarily I don’t like to use this space to talk about my newspaper column but the most recent column aroused such angry reactions that I thought I should reply. The column was done tongue-in-cheek, always a risky thing, and was meant to be funny, another...

And now gay marriage will produce a whole new string of hyphenated relatives. In addition to the ex-stepson and ex-in-laws and your wife’s first husband’s second wife, there now will be Bruce and Kevin’s in-laws and Bruce’s ex, Mark, and Mark’s current partner, and I suppose...
The very worst thing about having manipulative, emotionally poisonous, borderline mental health parents is feeling really guilty around the holidays.

“I read your Tumblr. VIolence based on hate does have to stop. I wonder what he...”

I wish I had a camera to show you guys, but I just received a very large box at my workplace from my mom, who insisted on mailing all my childhood Christmas ornaments here so “no one would steal them” from our front door.
Anyways, I think it’s pretty hilarious that, judging from a construction paper ornament I made in 1993 that says “Go Vols!,” my handwriting...

Worst ideas of the decade.
forinstance:
I was listening the Talk of the Nation yesterday afternoon and the special was on The Worst Ideas of ‘00. It got me thinking about my worst ideas of ‘00….
I experienced my teenage years during this time so I’m sure I can comprise a decent list.
How about you? What are your worst ideas of ‘00?
1. Attending law school.
2. Taking caffeine pills that one time

WatchThis was on AV Club’s best TV moments of 2009. The Daily Show did an amazing job skewering CNBC for being lazy and complacent until after the market crashed, and then deciding to switch over to free-market pundit and angry super-capitalist defensive mode. A little long, but worth the time.

Does anyone know how to replace a door latch on a Maytag EasyCare II top-loading washing machine? NO? WELL THEN WHAT GOOD ARE YOU PEOPLE?!!

Favorite Albums of 2009
1. Cymbals Eat Guitars: Why There are Mountains
This album did not get the respect it deserved. In a year choked with shit-fi, low effort groups like Wavves, Vivian Girls, and Pens, Cymbals Eat Guitars should get credit for doing music the old-fashioned way. They learned their instruments well, practiced playing them as a band, wrote some killer songs, recorded them the best way they...

4. Pissed Jeans: King of Jeans
I’ve already written about this album on here, let’s just restate that it’s a steamy soup of testosterone-fueled malevolence, nihilism, and anger. It’s the perfect soundtrack to hesitantly becoming an adult during the GREAT RECESSION.

Tennessee Boy, 4, Found Near Home With Stolen Presents, Drinking Beer
Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl’s dress taken from under a neighbor’s Christmas tree. The child’s mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells...

7. King Khan & the BBQ Show: Invisible Girl
King Khan and the BBQ Show have definitely improved over 2007’s What’s For Dinner? by dialing back the tinny low-fi squal and dialing up the hooks and swing. This was perhaps the most fun record of the year, and with their much talked-about live show and legal problems, the pair continue to prove that “retro” doesn’t always mean “boring”...
