And if Katy Perry had an ounce of talent, she'd be Zooey Deschanel.
Zing!
...and the milk's in me.
Because Zooey Deschanel only has an ounce of talent.
Double zing!

I'm very tempted to give Comcast Cable the finger and sign up for either DirecTV or Dish Network.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I've been surprisingly pleased with my Comcast service here in WA. They were terrible in CA, but up here they seem to have their crap together.
Just be thankful you do not need to deal with Time Warner Cable.

On the other side of the Mississippi here in Minnesota, Comcast was fine. We're on the side that Comcast bought from Time Warner.... The cable boxes are different, and the On Demand is quite shitty.
Been here over a year, and my patience has worn thin.

Hated Dish Network.
An actual citation in a recent bibliography that the author strongly preferred to keep rather than eliminate:
"Unknown newspaper, 1946."
That's it. That's literally all the citation had to say.
Some people should not write.

my new job is exhausting.. no time for movies... no times for games... no time to cook... i can barely watch the Red Sox when i get home....

Who said pimpin' was easy?
I switched from Comcast (before it turned into Time Warner around here) to DirecTV several years ago. No regrets so far.

I hate cable. I really do. Sure I can get TCM, CN, and ESPN with it but I really don't feel they are worth the hassle and annoyance that comes with dealing with cable companies. The local one around here is the only one, and thus knows it can get away with being an asshole monopoly. And dish really isn't much better. I think I'll just pass for now.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes

It's a Quality Hardware Engineering position. The job its self is pretty normal, but it's the commute that's killing me. 40-60 minutes in the morning 60-80 in the evening. I think I need to adjust from my 10 minute commute before I got laid off.
Foh sho.
Anyone check out the new http://www.matchcut.org/ ? ha.

So, sometimes I get pop-ups at my work computer, and usually I shut them down without a second glance. This one, however, caught my eye:
Look at it for a second.
Keep looking.
Okay, so. There are three possible explanations for this ad, ranked in order of likelihood:
1. The makers of the ad really didn't pay attention in biology class. (I'd make a "how is babby formed" joke, but can we all just agree that it's been overplayed?)
2. The ad is trying to appeal to the overwhelming, financially significant demographic of lesbian couples who choose to commit to each other and start a family, but decide against adoption and instead go for artificial insemination.
3. The makers of the ad didn't talk to the people who choose graphics, just sent the layout along with a post-it note attached, saying it was "some women's thing."
...and the milk's in me.
I think more than likely it is that typically, a girl who is not married will check with a friend/sister as opposed to her boyfriend. I think they're just waiting for one or both results as opposed to being in love.
Or, maybe you're right.

The girls I know who aren't in a position to check the test with a boyfriend are usually checking it alone in the restroom at the front of Target.

This comment is so awesomely caustic. I didn't know you had the overt--but very fair--meanness in you, Natalie. I'm proud.
As for the ad, I tend to agree with Raiders with their intention, but also think it's legitimate to suggest that the graphics department was just told it's an ad for a "lady thing." Semiotics are fun!

Wow - takes the whole 'wall of text' thing to a whole new level.
Some damn thing under my desk (spider?) just bit my foot. It itches, and it's raising a freaking welt.
