I have an actual "Yay, I love December!" entry I want to write, but first I want to clean out my linkspam:

New White Witch icons. Take 'em, use 'em, customize 'em, whatev.



In the time it took me to get around to writing an entry, I'm sure you've all heard about Violet Ann Affleck.

"I'M HAVING A BABY TOO! LOOK AT MEEEEE!" I'm putting my money down on "Pomegranate," myself. I mean, it is the fashionable fruit right now.

Ann Coulter has posted the real name, address, and phone number of a blogger on the front page of her website. Here's the best part: when challenged, she edited that section--to make clear which remarks were hers and which remarks were the blogger's, by adding brackets. As in, she totally left all the personal information up. I find Coulter to be a pernicious asshat regardless of her political affiliation, but even she is about to find out via some public outcry that you don't play this shit in the blogosphere.

The $10 million dollar bat mitzvah. But there's more about the father: an SEC investigation and class-action suits against his bullet-proof vest manufacturing company. You see, he's a defense contractor who may or may not purchased parts for the vests from his wife's company--vests that then failed to stop bullets in tests. The Marines recalled the vests from troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Djibouti in May--but not before the father sold off $186 million worth of stock last December. Hence the funds for the ultradecadent bat mitzvah, starring Aerosmith, 50 Cent, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, and Kenny G.

Michelle Rodriguez is on her fourth DUI and she's taking Cynthia Watros with her. I knew those Tailaways were bad news.

Speaking of which, those of you who like celebrity legal gossip (you heard about Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston getting pulled over for a DUI, right?) as well as true crime will enjoy Justice, a new magazine. I'm mentioning it ostensibly because the Amazing McRachel is now working there (YAY!), but I am ridiculously pleased with the concept alone. If it's like the bastard spawn of Crime Library and US Weekly, it'll be awesome.

Update on a previous link: Top Thirty Random Vin Diesel Facts.

The Doll Lady. If spooky old-fashioned dolls scare you, do not watch this. Personally, I watched it with the sound turned off, because I had a feeling there'd be a jump scare near the end.

Also from the Amazing McRachel: "Lie away: If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad -- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you."

those dolls are SO FREAKING CREEPY, I swear.

And hey, remember the time we robbed that bank in Nevada? :]

[bluemarie.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, remember that time we met up for margaritas and woke up in a dumpster in Cleveland?

Good times, good times.

So far, December has lots of awesome, even if it's 83 degrees today in Houston with 33 degress predicted for Monday night.

Aah, reminiscences...how they delight my wretched soul. Often, in the middle of a busy day, I'll stop whatever it is I'm doing, put on the kettle, break out the knitting needles, and take a moment to peer down the boundless corridor of the past at that magical week we spent together in the underwater ruins of Atlantis. The view of the shipwrecks, the tickling of the seaweed, the smell of...well, of nothing, because if we inhaled we would have been drowned instantly. Truth be told, I feared we might never escape that watery graveyard. What luck, then, that the benign nation of Sweden should be testing top-secret government-funded submarine chocolate factories nearby, thus enabling us to hitch a ride back to the surface. To this very day I can't so much as look at a piece of fudge without going into hysterics, rolling about on the floor and muttering obscenities about Eartha Kitt until someone manages to get me into a pair of water-wings. But alas, a suffocating haze begins to surround me, and the details of our further exploits vanish into the evanescent mists of time, leaving me alone with my kettle, which I will probably use to attack squirrels at the local park.

Apparently the high will be ~10 here (two states north of you) on Tuesday. I predict my enthusiasm for this post-autumnal arctic fury will be completely evaporated by then.

Remember that time at the supermarket when we got into an argument over what type of salad dressing to buy for the picnic, and it became some huge silly spectacle, and then that older gentleman with the plaid bowtie came up and told us that yours was better? How we laughed! Boy was my face red.

Man, too bad I don't live in Ohio!

That bad sex was hilarious... put me off sex for a bit, I think.

Those dolls were fucking creepy.

Coulter. I remember her How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) book. I was so very tempted to make bookmarks to sneak into the store copies that gave the title and then "First, you'll need to pull your head out of your ass...."

[wannabe-sedated.livejournal.com]

I remember when I met you in real life. You were sitting at a table in the cafe where we said we'd meet. I knew it was you because you had a book with a lilly inside of it. I took one look at you, threw my lillie down, and got out as fast as I could.


...:)


I still hate AnnaMaria/actress with her alchie tendencies! Ah,die already biatch.

[dacaktty.livejournal.com]

this made me giggle out loud XD I will never look at a tea kettle the same way again

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

1) I was already not an Ana Lucia fan, and now I don't much like Michelle Rodriguez either. Fourth DUI? Bleh.

2) As if I needed yet another reason to snarl when I see Ann Coulter's name...

3) I am curious about that doll thing, but soooo not going to watch it while I'm alone in the house. LOL

4) Saw this, and immediately thought, "Cleolinda and Sister Girl would probably appreciate it..." Celebrity cookies (http://www.elenis.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/Elenis.woa/wa/NavigationAction/displayProduct?name=hollywood)

Kindof reminds me of the time we broke into the Godiva factory to grab snacks, but ended up eating so much that our plan to walk right back out was foiled. Instead, security ended up rolling us out. Quite embarrassing, really.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

The Harry Potter thing is just too, too funny.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Remember that one time, when we did that thing with those people? Yeah, that was awesome.

[thunderphoenix.livejournal.com]

Remember when we had that lightsaber battle on that lava planet, and you chopped my arms and legs off?

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

Love the new icons. And is it just me, or does the White Witch look like the Borg Queen in that last shot.

Remember when we went to see "Star Trek VS Star Wars"? You bet on the Borg and won a t-shirt. That was great, we should do that again some time. I hear "Lost VS Lost In Sace" is in town soon, we should go.

[rhapsodeeinblue.livejournal.com]

Remember when we battled those twenty polar bears with silver spoons but you failed and died? Yeah, those were fun times.

[princessmandys.livejournal.com]

One: That doll thing is effing crazy, but it's better if you watch it with you eyes closed!! that's what I did and I'm still here!

Two: My memory..ahahaha: I remember this absolutly crazy time when we went to the grocery store, (to get wine and sushi, I remember that in detail), and I was reading part of your new book, the award-winning best seller, you know, and this guy came up and asked if you wanted your own empire with and island on the terms that you don't stop writing. Anything you wanted to write but you had to keep writing! That was so crazy and then he handed you the ticket to the island and I was all like, wtf, hell no, she ain't going nowhere without me! but the guy goes, bs lady, she rules an empire now, and I said, that's great, wonderful, but who does she rule brain? She's gotta have subjects or it aint an empire! And he's like, oh...forgot that. and then you solved the problem by calling the airlines and they went, oh em gee, it's Cleolinda! and they gave you your own private jet and then I rounded up some "minions" and gave them coffee and chocolate and...better clothes...and we all flew to be your loyal subjects! We never did get the wine or the sushi...that was depressing. So was the fact that just before we boarded the plane the government called and you had to go do more undercover work as a double agent! geesh, just blow your empire off why doncha...

;-) good times

I am not over the creepy doll thing in any way, shape, or form. I am SO having nightmares tonight.

I'm also disturbed by Jen and Ben's baby. Somehow, I think I fear that their baby and Katie Holmes' will launch some sort of diabolical master plan. This says nothing for the fact that the whole thing unfortunately reminds me of Rosemary's Baby, for whatever reason.

[lilgoala.livejournal.com]

Well, I was GOING to watch the doll thing, but everyone here is totally creeped out so I'm thinking I might skip it. :\

"Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book..."

I laughed indecently hard at that. I think I might have lost serious maturity points here.

[etherealshores.livejournal.com]

Ann Coulter is a twit. I hate her. >.< I say we lynch her.

Love the icons - gorgeous.

You have no idea how much that creeped me out just now.

Remember when we were kids and you and I had that cool way of sending signals to each other at night? One candle in the window meant "Don't come, I'm in trouble," two candles meant, "Come on over if you want," and three meant "Come over right away, it's important?" We always lit three candles in the window even if it wasn't important. That one night, though, you had three candles lit, and I came over, and you had that crazy idea of putting on our swimsuits and going for a swim in the creek in the middle of the night because your parents wouldn't let you go swimming that day? Well, it was like, two o'clock in the morning and no sooner had we started splashing in the creek than it started raining, and then that raccoon showed up and scared the living daylights out of you. We ran screaming back to my house and got in all kinds of trouble. Which was okay for you, because you just stayed home all day and picked on Sister Girl. I, on the other hand, wasn't allowed to see you for a week, and they found out about the candles, so that was the end of that.

But the great thing I always remember about that night was how amazing it was, splashing around in the creek in the night when it was cool and having a great friend there to giggle with. Before it started raining, I mean. Then it just got really cold. And the raccoon really scared you.

Oookay, I clicked on the Doll Link, then as soon as the image of the doll appeared, I closed the window. It already freaked me out enough. I have two or three of these porcelain dolls as gifts from family... After I got the first one, I had this nightmare that it tried to murder my boyfriend who was staying over at the time and in the dream I tried to shatter it and couldn't. For months afterwards I was afraid to look at it, afraid to sit with my back to it, and couldn't get it out of my room cause I'd have to tell mom why and she'd laugh at me. ... And then the next holiday rolled around and they gave me another doll. I was almost crying, "Gee, guys.. I... I don't know what to say."
