Octopus Overlords

Two things I dislike a lot..

1. That Ccleaner hides a Google Chrome install in it. I even clicked customize install and didn't see it.

2. the trend in eye makeup where the girls extend the liner past the outer corner of the eyes. Most times curled up there.

Winged

Could also be a Cat Eye.

Totally not a fan.

The Tex Avery

I actually like the "cat eye" when it's done subtly. It's the "glob it on" method that turns it from attractive to clownish.

This is nice:

How in the hell do roaches get in the microwave?

And why does it take so long for them to blow up?

They climb through the little side vents. It's a convenient place to find food if you don't wash out the microwave interior periodically.

Spraying in a little bit of boric acid power may or may not help. Personally, I just cover the bottom and back of microwave with some puffs of boric acid.

Ah, that's how they do it.
It was pretty dirty. I cleaned it up and spray bug spray around it.

Next, the BATHROOM!

You have a microwave in the bathroom?? That’s genius!

Saves time and money and warms your TP too!

After the windstorm Sunday in Maine, we lost power. It's Wednesday now, and we're still without power with no end in sight. If I leave my driveway and go left, I come up against a pole just laying across the road with a tangle of lines strewn around it. No way around. If I go right out of my driveway, I have to scoot under a large tree being held up by power lines that it's stretched halfway down to the ground. Everywhere around us is like this. I've counted maybe 20 trees laying on lines, maybe 3 poles flat on the ground, and half a dozen places where the lines have been severed and you have to drive over them to get past.

There was a flurry of tree cutting Monday morning, but nothing has happened in the 40 hours since.

After our first winter in this house we bought a generator. Nothing big. Enough to run the refrigerator, water pump, and boiler. Heat, water, and food. The essentials. For this last storm, we opted to stretch it to include the TV and BluRay player upstairs as well as a couple lights in the house. The lights dim when someone flushes, but at least we're able to maintain sanity with two little kids.

With a little public shaming, it might be possible to get Drumpf to drop off some paper towels.

Ironies of being me. I'm all about expression yourself as yourself but when someone types *doggo* ,*puppers*, "kittehs* I want to poke them in the eye. When people start saying it to my face, I'm gonna have a hard time not getting twitchy. Also, I need to slap the person who started saying "It is what is"... like a decade ago. Somehow that bit has infected my speech and taken over as one life's mantras. I'd much rather just say "just keep swimming. just keep swimming. just keep swimming." or perhaps "Can someone shoot me now?" And yet "It is what it is" pops out, must five or ten times a day or more every day. I think I need a hand buzzer to shock me every time I say it.

Don't be a Bront. Doggos rule.

Watch at own risk!

NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!

can you come a bit closer. I think there's something on your face...

And to stess who jumped in front of me... Fuck that shit, I'm out...

He is wearing rubber gloves, so he should be safe.

I just read through a couple of the old pms that I haven't deleted. We have some great people here and l appreciate you, faceless internet people!

I'm not a big Disney fan, and I normally see remakes as a cheap cash-in, but... OMG, this cast!

Not one damn lion in the cast.

Why are they remaking it? What am I missing?

It's being done in the style of the remake of the Jungle book - "realistic" CGI animals in actual environments with the actors providing voices. As to why they're doing it?

The Jungle Book (2016) made 966.6 million USD

I never liked the lion king. There. I said it.

I never saw The Lion King. There. I said it.

I liked the Hyenas. That was about it.

Now you've seen the best part of the whole movie.

I am the Lion King. There. I said it.

+1

But I might rent this eventually. The Jungle Book remake was pretty good.

I'm in the same camp with you. I'm a big Disney fan, but I would rank this one fairly low. I always get strange looks when I say this.

Oh, and I never liked Finding Nemo, either. There. I said it.

I'm with you on the first part. The second means that you have no soul.

Finding Nemo all you need:

I've seen The Lion King movie once, but the Broadway musical twice. The movie is meh. The musical is amazing. If this film can capture a tenth of what the musical experience is like, it'll be a hit.

Hans Zimmer is back to provide the score, too.

The Consumerist is dead. I'll miss that scrappy lil' blog.

Sigh...I was a jerk to a coworker today because I was cranky. Now I feel badly about it.

Nothing a conciliatory offering of borscht can't cure, I'm sure.

not surprised. have you seen Consumer Reports lately? it's been totally Millennial-ized.

Good guess. Russians do not sit there and take it. Trust me.

Not without recording it, at least.
