Once.  Anyone seen it? 

Basically, it's the best movie I've seen in a long, long time, and the best use of five bucks that I can remember.  I'm amazed.  I didn't know that "Falling Slowly" won an Oscar for Best Original Song.  It deserves it.

I am an internet junkie.  I'm on everyday, though I have successfully cut down my surfing time over the last few months in favor of reading/socializing/exercising/wandering around.  I have a routine.  I get up in the morning, start a pot of coffee, nitpick my appearance in the bathroom mirror for a moment while the computer boots up, and then I sit down and click on my "Favorites" link to officially begin my day.

• Gmail:  If you don't have it...what's the problem?  I love its never-ending storage space, the ease of navigation, the way it links your email conversations together; simply fabulous.

• Vox:  Well, this is a given.  I love you guys and the awesome stories you share.

• CuteOverload: Well, duh!  What better way to put a smile on a cranky, sleep-starved face?

• 

  ICHC at its finest.
  ICHC: Always good for a laugh or a WTF!?

• Smart Bitches, Trashy Books: The best in cover snark, romance reviews, and hilarious videos, brought to you by a couple of educated and witty women.  Be sure to check out Covers Gone Wild (The Non-Snoop Dogg Edition)!

"WHY do I look and sound like a chipmunk whenever I'm recorded? It's enough to drive a girl to drink. And I'm allergic to alcohol, which means I end up chugging chocolate milk, which really doesn't do much for my romantic image. GODDAMMIT."

• Crazy Aunt Purl: This woman got me through some tough times with her side-splitting stories on divorce, drinking too much, knitting, and owning diabolical cats.

"When he left I thought it was the VERY WORST THING ever to happen, and yet now sometimes Jennifer and I joke about that time I actually tried to set his favorite DVD on fire in the charcoal grill, waving my coffee cup of Jack Daniels and declaring in slurry twang "I will never find love again, but hell if he is getting this goddamn DVD!" I was like a drunken, mad Southern Belle stood up at Winter Formal, declaring to everyone and God Is Her Witness that 'I am truly dried up with love! You hear that, you little peckers! I am SHUT OF YOU ALL!'"

• The Fart Party: Oh god...it's like an alternate take on my life, in comic book form.

• Perez Hilton, D-Listed, Pink is the New Blog: Yeah, I'm a celebrity gossip whore.  I can't help it.  I have to get my daily recommended value of scandals and shameful behavior.

• Jezebel:  What a women's magazine should be.

• Gawker: More pop culture.

• MySpace: Sigh.  I can't escape it, and you probably can't either.

• PostSecret: I tend to check this only on Sundays, when the new secrets come out, but I can't tell you how awesome it is.  We all have so much more in common than we realize.  Struggles, triumphs, heartache...all part of being human.

Heard this overhead last week at work, had to get it.  Laid-back, catchy, everything good.

As I type this, a single roll of thunder that lasted at least fifteen to twenty seconds is just now dying away.  I went out to  Wal-Mart a moment ago to pick up some milk (can't have coffee tonight or tomorrow without it) and the lightning show was incredible.  Thick threads of white and silver shot from one side of the sky to the other...I had to really force myself not to look at them and keep my eyes on the road instead.  It's times like this that I really wish I had a good camera.

I should probably turn off the computer and unplug everything.  Cheerio!

It is fecking cold and drizzling.  I love it.
