Sorry this is basically a sony ad, but the results ACTUALLY freaked me out. I’m sure there are a ton of these around, but this was the first I’ve seen. Stare at the red dot on her nose for 30 seconds. Look at the ceiling and blink really quickly. WHAT THE FUCK BRAIN!?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK….
Wait… is that… is that Beyonce? That’s actually really cool.

It's kind of weird for me...
getting all emotional over a politician in a way that doesn’t involve cursing and throwing things at the TV.
But I knew her stepping-down was inevitable
when I saw her interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20. It was obvious that she still has a long road to walk, even though her recovery to her current point has been nothing short of miraculous, she’s not even halfway done.
I'll admit
That even though she hasn’t been my Congresswoman for quite some time since I moved to Florida 2.5 years ago I find her stepping down depressing. Gabrielle Giffords was a beacon of sanity in a far too often completely insane State. She is an amazing woman and she was everything a politician is SUPPOSED to be but so seldom is these days. I hope she does come back. I really do, because we as a...
Rep. Barney Frank is a total BAMF
cognitivedissonance:
His latest interview with The New York Times is fantastic. An excerpt:
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support...

I think I’m starting to enter a hyper-manic state.
Which as those of you who share my bipolar disorder know, is not good.
I wasn’t kidding about the Ambien.
Also, dropping the prozac for a few weeks. Last thing I need is to be more manic.

Those of you with brand new babies lying around can probably out-tired me. (I’m looking at you Cloudya and Jess, stop dozing off) but they’re the only ones. The rest of you… nuh uh, I’m definitely more tired than you.
