"My entire life was changed because of a fish."

When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favours
Never turn your back on mother earth*




* Or, 200lb, 8ft long, armor-plated prehistoric fish.

Can't stop listening to today:

Ladytron "Destroy Everything You Touch", from Witching Hour.

Also in heavy rotation recently:
  Depeche Mode "John The Revelator", from Playing the Angel
  Nelly Furtado "Say It Right", from Loose
  The Killers "Read My Mind", from Sam's Town
  The Knife "Like a Pen", from Silent Shout

This one time, I had to listen to Love and Rockets "Haunted When The Minutes Drag" at least 2-3 times a day, for like, a week.  Loud.

Questione Tyme

Wife: Do you know what your blood type is?

Me: I dunno... F? For "Fucking Awesome".

A guy with a stroller wants nothing more than to flip cars with his bare hands.

Liked this bit from the Achewood blog:

My little girl is almost two. Those who are parents know well enough how that feels. The scaffolding of language, the surprise when imagination shows up out of nowhere. Those who aren't parents can sit around in their smoky apartments and drink corporate beer; I won't act better than you. You can wear your pants and talk about cable television shows with your single friends. That's good, that's fine. You're hardcore, you spent $63 on vodka tonics last night. I have a kid, and I walk around in running shoes and jeans. My t-shirt often has the name of her pre-school on the front. Do I look soft? You bet. Am I soft? Charge past me the next time I'm trying to enter a crosswalk with my stroller. I WILL flip your Saab 9-3 like a turtle. You think I care if a car is upside down? Watch me buy a bagel, from your upside-down car. Watch me eat the bagel, and share some with my kid. A guy with a stroller wants nothing more than to flip cars with his bare hands. Bonus if there are people inside. Let's move on. I can also flip your Saab lengthwise if the timing is right.

That’s not a hair question. I’m sorry.
