What's a little destruction and death to an optimist? I prefer to think of such an event as an opportunity to indulge in a refreshing beverage.

I worked from home. Right now we are baking cookies. My days are rarely very interesting to talk about. But that's okay--they're the only days I've got. :P

Tired. Petey is refusing to eat or drink. My stepdad says that if she doesn't die before he get home that he's going to "help" her. :x

Tin-Tin is way better than any of the crap on TV now. Kids should read books instead of watching trash television all the time.


Don't have a antenna myself, just watch videos now. Books are usually better than TV anyway.

That's revolting! :x Hide the bird! She doesn't need that kind of help. If she's going to die, she'll do it on her own... and she might not! You can't just tell him no?

I'm living here at his mercy too, until my mom dies. If I say anything he'll throw me out again. Last time I was out of the house for 4 months. I love Petey girl, but I can't stop Gary.

Snickerdoodles!

That probably sounds dirty outside the US.

Thanks for empathizing with my boringness. ^_^

Keets, this situation really bugs me. I know you're doing all you can... so I won't ask any more questions... but I'm so sorry this is happening.

You must die.

Hahaha.


I very nearly did that. But then I got entranced, reading about opal eyes and nazi spies.

And apparently it was the inspiration for TaleSpin!

Used to love Tale Spin when I was younger.

He'd also shout more erudite expletives because Herge didn't want expletives in a comic book. Like 'troglodyte', 'megalomaniac', 'kleptomaniac', 'bashi-bazouk', 'megacycle', etc.

A balance is needed, but I agree. More books need to be readed.

My mum died in 1999. Why were you kicked out of your house?

Did I ever! And I meant every single word I said about it behind your back.

...but maybe it's just as well you don't know, as it's even more charming how you don't quite realize how effing hot you are.

Funny video, as usual. :P
