I have been pretty busy, but I ran across this and had to laugh:

Happy Birthday, Dad
It's my dad's birthday today! So, I just wanted to wish him a very happy birthday! Have a great day, dad! Don't let the Federal Government get you down. (They cut his birthday short by an hour with Daylight Savings Time- how dare they!)

A Solemn Moment - Political Thoughts
I don't like to put my political ideas on my blogs, but I wanted to make one small comment. I have heard many people say they will vote (or have voted) for Hillary Clinton because "her husband did such a good job when he was in office."
First of all, when he was in office, people were bitching and moaning about his decisions as much as we complain about the current president (maybe less, but I do recall a good amount of complaint and I was only a kid).
Second of all, Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. They are not clones and she had little to nothing to do with his decisions. We saw how much he paid attention to his wife with the Monica Lewinsky fiasco.
I just don't want people to forget how the past was, and then say it was better or worse than it is now. I was thinking about George Orwell's Animal Farm and this quote is so applicable to right now that it's scary:
"As for the others, their life, so far as they knew, was as it had always been. They were generally hungry, they slept on straw, they drank from the pool, they laboured in the fields; in the winter they were troubled by the cold, and in the summer by the flies. Sometimes the older ones among them racked their dim memories and tried to determine whether in the early days of the Rebellion, when Jones's expulsion was still recent, things had been better or worse than now. They could not remember. There was nothing with which to compare their present lives: they had nothing to go upon except Squealer's lists of figures, which invariably demonstrated that everything was getting better and better."
If you haven't read the book, Squealer is the PR man (in this case, pig) for the politicians (can I say pigaticians, or is that too punny?). Anyway, the point is that we mustn't forget history and we must always strive to improve life now, as compared to what actually was - not as compared to what some double-talking politician or even our dim memory says it was.
Let me know your opinions on this. Are the American people becoming like the animals in Mr. Orwell's brilliant book?

Improv Everywhere
Oh my gosh! These videos are so funny! I hope someone does something like this in LA one of these days, that would be fantastic:
Frozen in Grand Central Station
Red Head Protest of Wendys
I want to move to New York after this.

I hope this is not what the world has come to... but I'm posting on my blog at 11:42 PM on a Friday night, so I digress:

Monty Python LOL Catz
There's been a recent trend on Icanhascheezburger that I'd like to share with the world. *Drumroll* Presenting The Monty Python Cats!
Yes, I love Monty Python. If you can answer this question, then you can subscribe to my blog: What is the average wingspeed of an unladen swallow?

Oh, The Weather Outside is Frightful...
Actually, it's pretty awesome. It's been raining and misting. The drive in to work was absolutely gorgeous. There was some amazing low-lying mist in the valleys and covering the foothills so you could hardly seem them. I love days like this - they are stunning and make me feel cozy.
I'm sure that doesn't make much sense coming from a Los Angeles native, but:
a) We never get weather like this
b) My early childhood was spent in San Francisco
c) I've been wanting to move to a greener (and thus more rainy) area for at least 4 years now.
I wish I could take a day to go camping or something in the misty mists, but the snow line is also coming down and the last person who did something like that in weather like this got lost and they haven't found him. :( So, I'm just hanging at work, looking longingly out the window. I wish we had snow days here.

A Million Miles
This article is awesome! A man in Wisconson's '91 pickup just reached 1 million miles and it still runs! That's incredible. I hope my car runs that long.
The Disagreement Theory
I found this photo thanks to this fine post:
I think this is totally hilarious, but also can be very true. I love getting comments, but if you have tried to comment you may discover that I don't allow you to be anonymous
Anyway, hope you liked the picture. :) I thought it was pretty funny.

Google... Slowly Taking Over the World
Okay, the headline is a joke, but this video is pretty darn funny:
Does anyone have any idea of what that red light is supposed to be? Is it the DHARMA Initiative from Lost? (jk - I swear I am not a conspiracy theorist) Let me know...
