I'm alive, barely. Just a GIP and quickie update before my hands give out.

Work has gone surprisingly well this week, now that I've dropped the 'omg I have to do every last thing around here' attitude. Left me more time for shifting and shelf status and getting rid of one of our AV areas. I am soooo sore now; I haven't done much online because my hands are sore at the bone.

Saw this book on a cart and had to give it a second look:

That wide belt gives her a wholesome look, doesn't it? What about the girls without values? Are they allowed to buy vintage clothes? :D

So, the the guy they've cast as a young Remus Lupin? Super hot (though his lips kind of scare me).

Honeybunch and I watched Good Night, and Good Luck together last night. It's funny to watch Andy get so mad about this stuff. We would certainly have been targets of Mr. McCarthy. Because we're not pussies like more and more Amurricans seem to be. I refuse to have my name, SSN and address entered into a database that tracks my cold medicine (and if you pay with a credit card, that database can immediately start looking at your other purchases, not just your Sudafed buys). F-off, commie bastards.

(Very interesting: As we were kind of looking over the McCarthy era online, we were surprised at how late in the game President Eisenhower came out against McCarthy and the Senate. But, if you look at personality styles - Eisenhower was an analytical personality - he looked to be operating in classic Analytic stress mode. When there are not clear-cut rules or precedent, the Analytical leader will avoid speaking out or making decisive statements until he or she feels that their opinion/decision is the right one. Up until now, I'd considered Eisenhower a take-charge, decisive person. Hm.)

Randomly:

Am I the only one who thinks the Arctic Monkeys are vastly horrible, a la The Killers? Talk about overhyped and under-talented.

I am 100% in love with del.icio.us. My listing is here. Too cool (and you can set up buttons on your Firefox toolbar for one-click link additions). I love being able to browse other people's links. *sigh* So little makes me so happy.

Stretch Island Fruit Leather + Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper = Crazy Delicious

Andy's car died one day after I got mine back from the shop. *headdesk* I thank my lucky stars that I got a replacement ID from OSU, so I can ride COTA gratis, 'cause it might be a while before we have two cars. I'm kind of figuring out why people take drugs, because I really want to escape from the daily worries of life once in a while. Anyone know about a free crack giveaway? :D

How are YOU ALL doin'?

Can I just express undying love for your icon?! I loooooove it.

And I liked "Good Night and Goodluck" too :)

That vintage fashion book looks quite interesting. I love the dress the model is wearing and the belt does provide for a wholesome look. :-) Nope, no putas allowed. They are not allowed to buy this book of timeless fashion. Besides, they would not get used to all the coverage; they'd feel like they are wearing a burka. ;-) I love some of the clothes from that era; they are so classic that they can still be worn today.

So how do you get cold medicine if you refuse to give the pharmacy the appropriate information? I agree with you in that this is invasive. This invasion of privacy is not going to stop meth production or addiction. I did not stop to think that, of course, the government is going to be able to track one's purchases through this method. However, I desperately need Claritin during allergy season and what is most annoying is that now I can only get it when the pharmacy is open. I wouldn't be surprised if these types of meds go back to being prescription only.

P.S.: Young Remus is NOT hot. That unfortunate looking man does nothing for me.

I think young Lupin is del.icio.us, but when I showed him to Hula Hagrid, HH laughed and said, "That's a goofy-looking muther fucker." I died laughing myself. The boy is a bit goofy in that Aston Kutcher kind-of way. I like that he has a 70's-ish feel about his look...I hope the filmmakers keep that quality.

I would so be targeted during the McCarthy era too. I married outside my race. I'm outspoken in my classroom. I'm an open practitioner of an alternative religion. And a tree-hugging hippie left-wing liberal. OMG...*boggles*

I love Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper soooooooooooooooo much!
