The Full Cast Of “I Love Money”

freakgirl — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:42:15 +0000

The full cast of I Love Money on VH1 has been revealed and IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME OMFG!!!!11!!1. There are a few clunkers (Hoops? Really?) and I sort of hoped I’d never have to see Pumkin again, but it’s worth it just thinking about what any of these idiots would do with $250K. I imagine a lot of Valtrex and tacky jewelry. Anyway, Rock of Love legend Heather is in it, and she recently mentioned she had a romance during the show. Please, universe, let it be The Entertainer.

Also, save yourself the “I have no idea who any of these people are” comments. We already know how cool you are and how you don’t watch television except for PBS. Congratulations!

Tissue Paper Massacre

So, which one of us is dumber — the one who left a tissue in his/her pants or the one who washed said pants without checking them first? I’m definitely the latter; here’s hoping I’m not also the former.

Temporary Clothesline?

freakgirl — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:19:40 +0000

As the weather gets warmer, I’d love to be able to line-dry our sheets, towels and clothes whenever possible. Makes ‘em smell good AND saves energy. However, I’m having trouble finding a portable or temporary clothesline. We live in a townhouse and have a back patio, but we’re limited as we’re not supposed to attach things to the side of the building. Although we might be able to sneak something in…Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on a clothesline solution that would be easy to hide/store when not in use?

The Great Planet Robbery

Our friend Craig wrote another book. I’m shocked that between caring for his baby daughter, quitting smoking, freaking out about American politics, and pretty much harassing the geekboy and Susie’s husband through email on an hourly basis that he even had the time. But he did, and Publisher’s Weekly gave it a good review, and you should buy it. Details here.

New Jersey Parks to Close?

freakgirl — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:15:41 +0000

I cannot even believe this is a possibility. The State of NJ wants to close nine state parks. NINE. (Central Jerseyans - Round Valley is included in these nine.) I understand there is a budget crisis, but closing some of the only open space in New Jersey, a place where open spaces are far and few between? And potentially introducing the privatization of state parks? Do you really want to go mountain biking at the Coors Light Reservoir? Find out more and get involved here.

Go Ahead, Gush

My darling girls in costume for a dance recital. I wish I could be there.

Um, Ew

Roadkill plush toys. I was just telling Lisa the other day I’ve been seeing an awful amount of roadkill lately. At least now I can bring one home for a cuddle. [via]

Running On Empty

How far can you go after the gas light in your car comes on? I will drive around on E for days and it makes the geekboy crazy. At least now I know how far I can go. I always figured it was about fifty miles and, for the Toyota Matrix at least, that’s about right. [via]

Congrats to How Stuff Works for winning the People’s Voice Award for Best Copy/Writing. W00t!

Reading Used to be Fundamental

freakgirl — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:26:13 +0000

Remember RIF? Reading Is Fundamental? It’s something I remember clearly from my childhood — I grew up with a love of reading passed on to me by my parents and greatly nurtured in school with programs like RIF. Sadly, Bush wants to eliminate RIF’s funding.

Understandable, I suppose, since he’s an illiterate jackass. Find out how you can help. I’ve already gotten in touch with my state reps. You can even have your kids write letters. They must be mailed by the end of May, so do it now.
