Thursday Here I Come!

I'm consumed with Thanksgiving already. This half week of work is a veritable hell. The evaporated milk and cake flour is already sitting on my counter, boss. I'm thinking of meyer lemon cake, and cranberry sauce, and whether my new pumpkin pie recipe will work without following Martha Stewart's fifteen step recipe for a perfect pie crust. I am not thinking of drafting a case management statement or discovery. Judging by my silent phone, no one else is thinking of work either.

I'm already planning how many times I have to work out (answer: every day) in order to eat my fill on Thanksgiving. Thinking about what time I'll start my pie on Thursday morning (answer: shoot for the butt crack of dawn and actually deliver late morning). Willing my bread cubes to go stale for a tasty, sourdough stuffing.

I'm even already freaking out about Christmas gifts.

And don't get me started on Christmas cookies.............

I think I've become my mama.

Women in Combat

It's a little bit ironic that when a crazy shooting rampage happened on a U.S. military base the one person that was able to take down the assailant was a civilian female cop. She was actually a former soldier in the Army.

Poor little defenseless women. Yes military, now I see why you forbid women from fighting for their country. Crazy men, sure. Women, not so much.

Captain Tightpants Rides Again

For those Firefly lovers out there, Captain Mal got back into his tightpants (for those of you not in the know, and whoever you are, go watch Firefly NOW, Captain Mal's nickname around the internet is "Captain Tightpants") last night on whatever new show he's on. (Its called Castle but I must confess I've never seen it).

I love the reference to the fact that he wore that costume 5 years ago--you know, when the asshats as Fox canceled the show.

I hear the episode was full of Firefly references. Am I going to be required to watch a cop procedural show just to get my tightpants fix?

Derelicte!

Breaking News: Lady GaGa is the new face of Mugatu.

"Come Gaga, let me show you Derelicte. It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique."

Down With the Pigs!

The City of LA just finished a new super-whiz-bang police station for the illustrious LAPD.

City thought it would be nice to install $500,000 of sculptures around the new station. Clearly no one reviewed what the artist was planning on installing.

Big animal torsos decorate the exterior areas around the new police station. A good example is the one above, which definitely looks like a headless pig on its side.

Pigs outside the police station. No wonder Police Chief Bratton isn't happy.

Normally I would be appalled at the $500,000 wasted on what's pretty hideous art, but the fact that they're big ugly useless pigs outside the police station makes it into a great ironic statement about the LA police.

But Does it Smell?

Yup, that's a moose poop necklace.

This site is absolutely chock full of interesting things. That you can buy. Hurray for weird handmade stuff!

I Pity the Fool!

This is what happens when Emily messes around on the internet late on Friday night. End up reading about Mr. T on Wikipedia and finding crazy pictures like this one.

Did you know that he started his gold-chain-wearing while working as a bouncer? Apparently he wore whatever jewelry was left in the club by its patrons. That way they could come back and get it off Mr. T from the entrance and not have to even re-enter the club, and it became his trademark.

The two of them look so cute together. I mean honestly, who DOESN'T love Mr. T?
