Woy this totally all for you.

I still need info on the upcoming nuptials of the man House. Your failure to provide said details shows your complete lack of understanding of women when related to weddings. There was an article in the paper on the weekend describing new practices in wedding registries, such as having a travel agency or art gallery as your registry rather than the standard department. This has apparently come about because we get married later and have all been living out of home so long that we don’t need more household stuff, but do need help paying for our honeymoon (hence travel agency) or decorating with style (hence the art gallery). I wa a little fascinated that some couples are requesting people pay for their meal at the reception or in fact bring food (such as appetisers) and serve as the waiter/waitress for half an hour. No I am not married so I have no idea what I would if were to get married. But you can see that it is strange but true that women like to know all about these things, even when not involved themselves.

What I need to know from you Woy is the details of House’s wedding. Like even who the bride is would be nice! So anyone who knows woy, feel free to kick to give him a kick up the butt to get him onto responding to this; as I am way, way too far away to kick him myself.

For your reading pleasure here is: “A tale from the share house” (said in one of those evil voices, that aren’t really that scary, kind of like you get on kids cartoons).

Clearly I live in a share house. The members of the household have changed many times over the years, with some farewells tougher than others (some I would gladly have helped to pack their stuff if it got them out the door faster). As the only constant (and only person officially on the bond) I have gained the power, but I am not a little despot and have over the years learned to let a lot of things slide, perhaps too many and become too nice (is it possible to be too nice?) – I’ll let you be the judge.

Given the frequency with which I post, having a posting of remainders (a shout out to one of my former occasional reads… the Ana Marie Cox-era Wonkette) is a bit misplaced.  But hey, nobody’s perfect.

-  WPXI’s 11 o’clock news led with falling rock on Route 19.   With a live conversation with a on-the-scene Penndot employee!  Understandable, given how God is smiting Pittsburgh with moving earth these days. 

What leads next, you ask?  Mayor Luke’s first and most certainly not last political crisis?  The date of the next Mayoral election?  Falling wormwood? 

90 seconds is spent on telling people that it will be in the 30’s and MAYBE even into the 20’s this evening. 

For the love of God people, bring the plants inside!  Think of the fauna!

- Speaking of terrifying television…

The amount of pent-up homoeroticism of these two dumbasses in this debate immediately made me think of this:

Personally, I think that Santorum plays a more ridiculous version of Michael than Steve Carell does.

- I wonder what kind of late charges Seattle and New England racked up after borrowing Chad Brown for a decade.

- With 2007 shepherding in a special Mayoral election, I really hope The Angry Drunk Bureaucrat shakes off the shackles of contracts and bourbon to take a run at it.  On second thought, no I don’t.  That would mean ADB would be a politician.  Ick.
