I mean... It's beautiful...
Don't mind me though, I just saw Twilight last week and was overwhelmed by how much I loved it, even with all its horribly cheesy lines, bad special effects and weird storyline.
@Brigit quiere comer pasteles!: My sister's an ob/gyn which means I get to hear all about the benefits of tearing... And then I get a perverse pleasure out of relating everything she tells me to my friends.

So, at the NEXT inauguration there will be no more need for organisations like Feeding America, right?
Off-topic: Leave it to me to sleep until 3 PM on the shortest day of the year. I've been up for 90 minutes and the sun is already disappearing. Ugh. Well, at least it was a fun party.
Anyone baking something good today, or are you saving your skills for Christmas?

@musicpup: I guess that'll teach us for not setting our alarms! I have never had latkes...
I bought two oliebollen, which are basically balls of deep-fried dought with currants and raisins. It sounds sort of icky, but they're so good. A bitch to make though, which is why I bought them.
@whats_in_a_name: Ooooh, OUCH!

@jello_mix: Oooooh, that DOES sound fabulous! And it also reminds me to look for paper towels so the latkes won't be greasier than Robert Pattinson's hair after I take them out of the pan.

The thing with PETA is, you will have them do something like make a website mocking the "Trollsen Twins," and then you will have them using Dita von Teese (who wears fur) do a spay/neuter ad. They responded to criticism over Dita's ad by saying that while they hope she will stop wearing fur, they felt that she still had a positive message regarding spaying and neutering, which does make the organization seem like they are trying to make a general effort to be more inclusive and less antagonistic.
Oprah tried (and I believe failed or did not like) a vegan diet for 30 days, and I think PETA probably gave her the award because she was giving a good faith effort to more humane eating, and was very respectful about it, and even though she didn't like it, she did bring some good publicity for it. In fact, I think the fact that PETA is giving her the award despite her not keeping the diet after 30 days says good things about PETA trying to clean up their antagonistic image. So, now they need to stop making mean websites about the Olsens, and stop getting women to pose nude.

Years ago, I had a friend who was an RN. We'll call him "Bob." He had a big apartment where we'd all hang out and play N64. Sometimes he'd be like "Oh hey, you guys, it's storytime with Bob," and he'd haul out the most horrible textbooks of gruesome oozing things. While cackling the whole time. WHY!?

Or it could be pure maliciousness. Doctors are plain weird, it's a trend I've seen over the years because they stick together in groups. I once had a mole removed and the dermatologist kept talking to the mole rather than me. I was left to look at gruesome pictures of all sorts of skin diseases that hung on the wall.

He was fitting me with a temporary crown after a root canal I had recently, and he was just like "Heee. By the way, I once treated a patient who had a really bad gag reflex and managed to swallow the permanent crown restoration while we were trying to install it."
I was like "Alllg kraaghy horrigl."*
Cheerfully, he continued on: "Yeah, but you'll be glad to know that the ceramic composite material can withstand just about anything--including stomach acid. The guy's insurance wouldn't pay for another crown, so guess what he decided to do?"
"Rhalllk?"**
Yes, my dentist told me a story about a guy who swallowed a fake tooth and pooped it out a few days later and then brought it in to be refitted with it. I was sort of stuck there because I had 20 metal things in my mouth and couldn't talk.
*"Thats pretty horrible". I had like 20 metal things in my mouth and I couldn't talk.
**"What?" I had like 20 metal things in my mouth and I couldn't talk.

My best experience in that regard was an ENT specialist who had to take a look at my larynx. I'd been suffering from laryngitis for about a year, so I get this FOUL tasting medication that numbs the throat and then he shoves this metal rod down, then inserts a camera.
And starts talking to me, honestly expecting an answer. I have him my best WTF glare.

I'd rather make out with a dude than a dog any day, though. Call me picky. Dogs don't usually brush and floss.

However, I still love looking at gruesome medical pictures and hearing their equally gruesome stories.

Dude's diabetic and had some crazy ulcers in his feet that needed to be cut and cleaned.
I didn't know that diabetics loose nerves in their feet. Until then. My auntie starts cutting and cleaning the ulcers with hydrogen peroxide, and while fresh blood flows freely the old guy starts talking to me like nothing was fucking happening!
To take the WTF THEY ARE CUTTING YOUR FEET moment further, my grandma pops in, annoyed that my aunt was talking so fucking long. She literally took her out of her working bench, prepped herself, and finished the job all while mumbling about my aunt being "scared of cutting".
Grandma and Junior just kept talking about the family while she cut away...

Oh wait- wished. Not believed. Yep, they just don't ever read anything besides Twilight and don't grasp the concept of fiction.

What Robert doesn't know is that I'm planning to "snuggle" him to the point of exhaustion so I can ultimately pull a Delilah and wash/cut his hair while he sleeps. Mwa ha ha...
