(via kickstand)
Feel free to break into mine and put things away. We just moved yesterday after a long weekend of working and I’m le tired. Hell, I’ll even leave the door open so you don’t need to squeeze through any broken windows.
FACT: It is entirely possible to herd ducks with a car.
Geek Tantrum
I almost threw a Sharpie across the room because I updated Firefox and the new version is incompatible with 3 of my beloved add-ons. Time to reality-check myself.
Chaely, be thankful Firefox exists at all.
My Hate
Every once in a while I start daydreaming about starting an anonymous blog which would just be a list of grievances, people I would consider public enemies, those who are truly a drain on resources and don’t deserve to roam the planet.
I’m not talking about the handicapped, indigent or people living off government cheese, I’m talking about people who truly don’t understand...
Detroit Resident Amanda Rosman, Urban Education... →
Doree Shafrir, this week’s guest blogger at Jezebel, just posted a great interview with Rosman, who is a teacher, mother and Detroit resident trying to start a revolutionary new elementary school called the Boggs Educational Center. It sounds like it’s going to provide a way around the crappy No Child Left Behind policies by filling the curicculum with useful life skills such as...

WatchThis is totally me. My name is Chaely and I’m an Intervention addict.
I also enjoy the occasional episode of Bridezillas. I blame my 3 years as an event florist, but that’s probably just the denial speaking.

Dear America,
You are stuffed full of some of the most impressive idiots on this planet.
PEOPLE, STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING YOU READ & HEAR. Does it shock you to hear that politicians don’t tell the truth?
While I’m sitting here telling you how to live & think, I might as well add that it never hurts to stop and ask yourself “my, this sounds a little odd, I wonder if...
Bill Clinton helps free American journalists from... →
Bill Clinton flies to North Korea, one of the most dangerous and volatile countries on the planet, to help free two American journalists who have been held captive for nearly 5 months, meanwhile the blogging youth of America proceeds to not give a shit about it. Come on people, this was the president most of us grew up with. He should be praised and nominated for humanitarian awards, not ignored...
I just found the answer to one of my problems.
sarabee:
One of my kidneys is worth about $100,000 - thats about how much my art school tuition debt is going to be by the time I graduate.
who needs a kidney? - not kidding.
Features included at no extra cost:
- processes 200 quarts daily.

I can verify this. She gets good gas mileage, too. Low emissions.
I was supposed to say "no, you're delightful" but...
Me: Oh hey, I checked and the water bill was only $30.
Roommate: I think gave you $5 too much. Um... just keep the $5. You can call it an administration fee.
Me: That works.
Roommate: Or a bonus for living with a curmudgeonly old man.
Me: I think I'll go with the latter.
Craigslist Car Ads Are Bullshit
Twice this week I have inquired by email about cars for sale on Craigslist. Twice I have received responses from “people” who don’t live in this state (one is supposedly in PA although the ad says it’s a “florida car” and it was listed in Ann Arbor, the other claims to be a sargeant of the US military stationed in Croatia [ha!]. That car is allegedly with him -...
