Where ya gonna go after wading in feces, seeing your mother burn alive, getting beaten, shot at, electrocuted with a car battery, seeing your friend's eye gouged out with a spoon and watching as the love of your life agrees to have sex with your bully of a brother?

I cannot wait to read this:

OMG: Beyonce gave Hugh Jackman a glimpse of her bare breast at the Oscars…thereby fulfilling every schoolboy's fantasy of singing and prancing to hail the return of the musical, with makeup flawless, while holding the "Single Ladies" singer in his arms. Via Edith Zimmerman at BuzzFeed.

Seems like it's all the rage in the UK to rip your pants off in anger. Oh, those Brits - always setting the bar higher for us in The Colonies! Can't wait for this trend to hit our shores!
From The Sun, February 18:
A pilot furious at being searched before flying dropped his pants and exposed himself to security staff, then raged: “Do you want to search this?” His flight had to be cancelled as police were called and the pilot was quizzed — but not arrested.
Thirty-seven passengers on the Swiss International Airlines flight from London City Airport were delayed for two hours yesterday as the row erupted.
A source said: “The pilot was asked to take off his shoes and belt like everyone — but completely lost the plot.
“He pulled down his trousers and pants to completely expose himself, then turned to the security guard and asked angrily, ‘Do you want to search this?’”
The incident happened at the East London terminal’s downstairs security gate, which is not used by the public.
The source said: “All pilots have to go through these procedures so no one can understand why he reacted the way he did. Perhaps he was having a bad day.” From The Sun, also on February 18:
A pensioner stripped to his underpants in a Tesco store in a row over a lottery ticket. Norman Matthews, 68, accused an assistant of not giving him his tickets and change after he handed over £10 for two £1.50 lucky dips and a £2 scratchcard.
The girl insisted she had done so and he was banned for a day from the store in Addlestone, Surrey — which later admitted the error and gave him a £10 voucher.
Norman said: “I stripped to prove I had no ticket or change. I did it for the principle, not the money.”

Map of potential high-speed rail built by the stimulus package. Seems a bit east-coast-centric, but can it really be that the U.S. is going to be a progressive, forward thinking nation, moving our transportation grid into the 21st century? OMG!!!! How I love our new president!

iPhone-lovin' technology geek that I am...I still can't take this ride. Who at your next cocktail party would want to be stuck with the calculator icon??

Because when you're thinkin' fun, you're thinkin' North Kansas City!

Our new custom-built sofa with the fabric we agonized over for days finally arrived this morning at 7:30. The overstuffed chair and ottoman is big enough for two:

A burlesque musical that's neither splashy or racy, with mostly lifeless performances and less-than-memorable tunes. It's as if "The Drowsy Chaperone" were put through a Xerox machine that's running dangerously low on toner.

The ePride Guide is a soon-to-debut website and accompanying iPhone app from Indigo 501 Creative that will allow users to access ratings on gay-friendly businesses in a specific location and/or category.

Users can leave feedback on a listing to discuss their own experience with a business or to debate a given rating.

I don't remember seeing "Flesh of Christ" as a choice in the Crayola box, even in the deluxe 120-count size.

Every time I see House Republican Leader John Boehner I think "Tan Vampire."

A wooden box. A cloggy shoe. A dry flower. An old bet buckle. A photo of Twiggy. A sea shell. A wicker bird. Glue them all together and it's "Decoupage!" The hilarious cable access talk show originally aired in 1990, starring the fabulous Summer Caprice played by Craig Roose. So grab a can of Sego and watch...as Summer would say, it's a real "kick!" So happy to find clips on YouTube...dang, the Internets are amazing.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo.

The Courage Campaign's new video attached to their initiative to invalidate Proposition 8 made me shed a few tears. It's really, really good

Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz create amazing art inside snow globes. The incredible scenes inside the glass orbs take many forms, from surreal to tragic. They are freakin' fantastic.

Here's thrilling audio from the cockpit of US Airways Flight 1549 — just after the birdstrike, but before dropping into the river. The last thing you hear Capt. Sully say is “We’re going to be in the Hudson,” which leaves the poor air traffic control guy deeply confused.

Brenda Dickson, the original Jill Foster on "The Young and the Restless," welcomes you into her home for a fun fashion show! Meet her cat, her dog, and even go into her closets! It's very dramatic! Well hello!

A clip of the fabulous "Barbra!," a public access cable show that I was obsessed with back in the late 80s. Made by Andre Dupuy with Barbie dolls and a omnipresent laugh track, it was just as good as most of the network sitcoms of the time..."Wings" anyone? Barbra's cousin Milke has come from Germany to live in sunny Los Angeles, and chaos ensues. As Milke would say, "OooPaaLaa!!”

CBS has ordered a new series from the producers of "Top Chef" that places lovelorn singles into arranged marriages. The show introduces four adults who are anxious to get married but have been unsuccessful in their search for a spouse. Their friends and family select a mate for them, the newly paired couple exchange vows, and the series follows their subsequent marriages. The rest of the details for the project, whose early working title is "Arranged Marriage," are being kept under wraps.
So...you can be hetero-wedded on national TV to a STRANGER that you don't have any emotional attachment to and still receive the full rights and privileges of marriage? And that isn't a "threat to the sanctity of marriage"? Praise the Lord!

This is Johanna Sigurdardottir. She was sworn in as Iceland's prime minister today, making her the world's first openly gay premier and the first female ever to assume the post in Iceland. Sigurdardottir, 66, took office less than a week after the Cabinet resigned amid fallout from Iceland's financial collapse. A former flight attendant (!) who entered politics via the union movement, Sigurdardottir was minister of social affairs and social security in the outgoing Cabinet, which resigned Monday. Iceland has been in political turmoil since October, when its currency, stock market and leading banks collapsed amid the global financial crisis.
