Muppet movie was awesome. I'm still humming all those songs.

We now call my gangly 14 year old "Muppet Man" because he is so lanky and has such a hard time controlling his limbs.  Before it was "clodhopper," so Muppet Man fits.  :D

Funny--I'm tired of being surprised.  Have had enough "surprises" to last me the REST of this lifetime--and my family tend to live into their 80's and 90's.

And I always figure out murder mysteries after 3 decades of reading them, so I know the feeling of not being terribly entertained by simple plots.

I think the "boys' sets" are more gender-neutral.  If you have a girl that's into physics and chemistry, buying the magnet sets, the erector sets and the chem sets is not going to awry.

I think it's rather the opposite--the makeup and perfume are very girl-specific.  As a mom to only boys (as of today's date, anyway), I have to say boys' "toys" can be way more gender-neutralized than girls'.  Mostly because of colors schemes, etc. 

Not that this still isn't an issue, mind you.  I think it's rather sad that the manufacturers can't market things in a way that add up to BETTER LEARNING rather than gender-role reinforcements.  *shrug*  But that's when a parent's discernment is inserted, and you just say FUCK IT ALL  my kid wants to learn, so here's a crack-your-own geode set, or here's a rock tumbler, or here's a solar system for your ceiling (my 12 mo old niece just got one for her birthday this weekend...).

California's one of the better states for employment...law suits abound here, and that might be why.

The Birther Queen is back.

Orly Taitz has filed a complaint in New Hampshire to remove Obama from the presidential ballot, challenging his citizenship.

Y'know.. I just realized that she's getting a shitload of money from someone to pull these media stunts in which a small % of her fee is funneled into frivolous motions, and contempt of court charges (which if the court knew of in advance would constitute ???.. not bribery exactly).

Still, someone just needs to punch her in the taco and tell her to get a new gig already.
