Interesting.
Alabama’s unemployment rate has dropped from 9.8 in September to 8.1 in December after implementing new laws enforcing immigration laws. So much for the old argument that people won’t do the jobs illegal aliens will do…
Honestly, I stand divided on this issue, caught between seeing people trying to escape a very bad situation for the chance of a new life, and the protection of...
“Quite the blow, innit?”

Sir, I salute you!

YES! You should see my mom try to download something. She asks me repeatedly if her computer is going to get a virus because she’s downloading a recipe my aunt sent her.
Benedict Cumberbatch?

Seriously? That’s his REAL NAME? Or was that name created for him in a Fancy European Name Aggregator? Here are some alternatives he could have chosen:
Kensington Featherby
Butterworth Dumbledore
Engelbert Bumbershoot
Aldous Goodweather
Brimstone Copernicus
Lazerous Rufflemore
Busker McCuskerton
Winston Fillagry

The sound of Saturday
My neighbors’ little boy laughing uncontrollably in the hallway. You know, the crazy weezy kind where you can’t catch your breath. So great.

How about a chat facility so you can actually have a conversation with your favourite tumblrs?
I’ve often wondered this myself. But then we would never leave and get fired from our jobs.

See, they make these things called telephones…
IT IS THE FUTURE I WILL ORDER MY PIZZA ON THE INTERNETBOX.
Bahaha…good luck waiting around on the INTERNETBOX then!

An eruption...
Both my neighbors’ kids are crying. Very loudly.
Nothing like it to put you in the mood to party.
GOOD MORNING!!

See this short video to understand why we’re getting fatter… Basically: it’s not simply eating too much fat. The government’s food pyramid and guidelines help the special interests who get the subsidies, not your health.
I was SHOCKED by how large people were when I visited Alabama over the holidays.
Let the wild rumpus start!
Wonderful job? Really, Brent Musburger? The National Anthem man will be the subject of ridiculous viral videos by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Well that's different...
Something I love about England: Two guys sitting beside me speaking a mixture of English and some other language I can’t identify.

Eww

We ate lunch at a BBQ joint today and I just realized that the smoke has permeated my hair. I smell like a brisket.
That’s one way to attract the menfolk.
Cycling?
Overheard at a cafe:
“I tried cycling and I was disappointed at how few calories I burned. I was on the machine for 10 minutes and it said I only used 10 calories!”

Is it wrong to go to bed at 7 PM?
Enjoy your holiday to the very last drop. Sleep all you want! God knows you won’t get to do that as the year gets rolling.
I have ridic jetlag at the moment, so I’m the opposite. Hopefully I will go to bed before 4 a.m.

Creeper.
If I get on a train that is mostly empty, instead of choosing a space away from people in the car, I like to put myself conspicuously in their sight line. Not to close, but close enough so I can stare creeping if I so desire.

Ahhhh....England!
I made it back without incidents. Except I haven’t opened my bags yet, so for all I know every Christmas present I bought for myself (no, seriously) could be smashed and broken. Ugh, the little glasses I got….I am putting my life at risk sticking my hand in there.
That’s what he said.
Advantage: Bus
Buses have a decided advantage over planes due to the reclining seats and the sweet footrests designed for short people like your’s truly.
Well played, bus. Well played.
Flying
I’m in route to Boston, on my way back to England.
Sure, I’m crammed in a flying box, but they gave me ginger ale (tastes like bald eagle tears) and those cinnamon cookies, so I’m good.
Now I'm just watching Dead Weather videos on...

I have audibly said “girrrrrl” at east 3 times.
Look what I started.
I warn you though: If you are going to become the future Mr. Allison Mosshart, you’re going to have to actually speak to her. Actual words, not blubbering.

How cute is this?
