I have a friend who is a born and bred New Yorker who has never not lived in a city (we’re both in Chicago now). One day we went to Evanston and she was positively giddy to eat at a Chili’s. It was a novelty to her.. But for me being a suburban kid it was just a place to eat before we went to the movies.

My 67 year old mother.. she plays this game (she’s obsessed with the last three Fallout games, really). She too hates the monkeys. Sometimes she shoots them. I went to her house over the thanksgiving weekend and there is nothing quite like watching someone who is a grandmother swear like a pirate at those things.

I’m assuming Bethesda is obsessed with mannequins in the same way that BioWare is obsessed with putting cheese in all of the Dragon Age games..

This just drives the point home that the republican base is full of unreasonable nutbags. We should let the tea-party break off into a 3rd party or crazies so moderate republicans can at least go back to occasionally compromising with democrats so crap can kind of get done..

In general I dislike birds. I do think most owls are adorable though. But I can generally do w/o most birds.

Mostly this is because it is cold and I just want to snuggle with my cat. But on days like this humanity makes me just want to stay in bed.

Wut? That’s pretty terrible. Although, Dubya seems like a decent enough person to drink a beer with, politics as aside. Cruz, not so much. He seems like the type who enjoys kicking puppies.

I have second thoughts about leaving my house every day.. and I live in the US..

Sadly for a lot of people it is easier to adopt a foreign baby. So many fewer hoops. Meanwhile, great kids languish here in a broken system.

*shudders*

Here is the dress. Pardon how cheezy I look.

Ha ha. I like Tracy too. I think Cheryl seems like an odd choice. Like, she doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the ABC 7 team? Maybe she is trying too hard.

Yeah, I figured that out, So now I’m MangoMojito on all Disqus forums. Yay!

No.. Correct station though. It was Tracy Butler. Save for her dress is significantly tinier than mine.

I think you can reregister? I mean objectively I am Andrea D and don’t care too much if people know I’m Andrea D. I mean I talk to random strangers at work and send out all kinds of emails using said full name.. But then again I will say I tend not to post much on Disqus forums because of it. I just don’t know what…

One day, I saw my local meterologist here in Chicago wearing a dress that I also own.

I do believe on disqus you get my actual real live name.. #no fear.

Anyone who is involved in politics who doesn’t think that their idiotic statements will not go viral needs to just step down from their office and crawl back into the depths of the off the grid cave that they came from.

I’m sad about this. YOU HEAR ME, GAWKER MEDIA?! I’M MOTHAFRAGGIN SAD!

Engagement session came with the photo package. But having said that, engagement photos seem like they are for your parents and grand parents. They love that kind of shit. My favorite shot from my engagement session barely has my husband in it..
