From the article: “I typically try to avoid making sweeping generalizations, but Westboro Baptist Church members have by far the most unattractive shins of any hate group in the country.”
For those having sucky Mondays, @The_Real_Shaq is there for you today with Yo Momma jokes.

The two or three different MJ memorial marathons on the radio this morning made driving out to Boyle Heights at 8 AM a lot less painful.

Tumblarity
So yesterday I blogged an awesome video I didn’t make and a funny quote somebody else wrote, and today my Tumblarity has doubled itself to 55 because some cool people reblogged these things and they’ve since gotten spread around a little.
Despite the fact that it is 12 pm and I am behind on everything and I haven’t been running for days and my hair needs washing, I...

spytap:
From the minute Colby saw the previews to the Disney-Pixar movie Up, she was desperate to see it. Colby had been diagnosed with vascular cancer about three years ago, said her mother, Lisa Curtin, and at the beginning of this month it became apparent that she would die soon and was too ill to be moved to a theater to see the film.
The company flew an employee with a DVD of Up, which is...
Oh, San Diego Comic-Con. Every year I think I’m over you, and every year you loop me back in. And thank god for press credentials.
Unfortunate moments in Web 2.0: discovering that someone has created a Facebook event for an old friend’s memorial service.
So, to kitten or not to kitten? Still unsure. But it would be nice to have something else in my apartment to blame this funky smell on.
MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung a Younger, More Web... →
When I review a show, here is the process: I write sentence fragments that I then combine into paragraphs that I then combine into the full piece. Most of the time, I make cuts and/or can’t find room for some of those thoughts (today’s review, at nearly 800 words, was one of these). So this blog is as good a place as any to share insights like:
First Mos Def, now Alexa Chung...
Watching MTV in ripped jeans, eating lunch, and blogging about @ItsOnAlexa. Only difference btwn me and a highschooler is I’m getting paid.

Hmmm. How bad an idea is it to adopt a 8-week-old kitten when your lease technically forbids pets? (Landlord is never around.)
OH @bronwyn, regarding tonight’s Lakers riots: “This is why we can’t have nice things.”
Heading to Battlestar Galactica concert at California Plaza before @ladimcbeth’s karaoke celebration. Will only sing along at one of them.
Vacation = over. Unread emails = 162. I have missed you, Internet, but I may need a little time to ease back in.
Goodbye Internet, hello southwestern adventure! See you in a week!
We're gonna need a bigger suitcase.
So tomorrow I am going on vacation. Like, for real. Like, laptop left behind, email log-in on Blackberry sabotaged so I can only use it as a cell phone, all my various jobs and activities informed that for seven days, I am OUT OF BOUNDS. This is the longest I have ever planned to be offline since… 2002, maybe? 2001? And I am extremely excited.
