That Which Is Unexpected

So here I go and add more drama. It's to be expected at this point, really, wouldn't you say? That's my feelings on the issue (as I'm sure you can tell).
I hope you all are responding to this story arc - love it, hate it, whatever - and while obviously I'd far prefer you dig it than loathe it, the important thing to me is that you feel something about it. If you don't give a rat's ass either way then it means I've failed, and I don't take failure so well. I get all mopey and withdrawn and eat too much chocolate. I do enjoy learning, and there is some degree of failure and trial-and-error in that, and I'm not going to ever be such a giant jerk as throwing a diva fit if nobody thinks my stuff is THE BEST EVAR... I always hope I'm learning and becoming better at what I do (whatever that may be). And I hope you all are entertained, because I'm always happy to have you here. And stuff.
But yeah. So in short, I eat too much chocolate anyway, and I really hope you all are responding in some way to these pictures and words I'm putting out into the Internet aether. And yeah.
BUT. I promised you a Linkstravaganza today to make up for my exhaustedness on Friday, did I not? Well - here to make up for last week's absence is a brief LINKSTRAVAGANZA!
* So there's this jerk - Bart Sibrel - a conspiracy theorist who believes the moon landing didn't happen. He tricked Buzz Aldrin to going to a hotel in Beverly Hills under the premise of an interview for a Japanese childrens' TV show. Sibrel accused Aldrin of being "a coward and a liar," - and Buzz Aldrin (who was 72 at the time), PUNCHED SIBREL IN THE FACE. That is so awesome. Buzz Aldrin rocks my face off. Go and see the video for yourself - the dude was PWNED.
* For as much as assholes need to get punched in the face, some people feel that nonviolent demonstration is a better path. And thus I give you: Flowers For Jack Thompson. We know him, we loathe him, and in the off hope that he will see reason (I doubt it, but think of the stunt value!) they aim to send him a polite letter of disagreement and many, MANY pretty flowers (at the moment, just over $500 worth!). This is a worthy cause if I ever saw one, although I would also like flowers myself, because I am awesome. At least that is the hope.
* And finally, speaking of awesome, there are few more awesome people than the firefighter who gave birth and took a promotion exam 12 hours later. Because a state law (that is full of STUPID) required all promotion candidates to be tested at once - and that she'd have to wait a full two YEARS before she could take it again - she gave a finger to The Man, had her baby, then took some painkillers and kicked the shit outta that test. This woman can do ANYTHING. She deserves like a five hundred percent raise, and to kick the faces of all the people who made her have to go through that crap. BOOT TO THE HEAD! I applaud you, Beda Kent, firefighter, mom, and all-around badass! ::salutes::
Well, that's it for tonight - come by on Friday for more of that drama/comedy fusion smoothie you know so well. Woo!
