Mattel made WHAT?

And now, for the first time ever, a Barbie that boys will like more than girls: complete with angry ravens comes the Barbie from "The Birds." Too bad Hitchcock isn't around to see this. I wonder if they are going to put out a new Alfred line... maybe we'll get a “Vertigo” play set complete with Monastery Bell Tower.

Just pray that they don’t decide to honor Edger Allen Poe…

Post 18

I just posted a post in the which I made apologies for being away for so long and posting a topic that I'll discuss soon. The "cyber-ether" absorbed it with some mysterious error. I think the keeper of the void has it in for me. I still apologize, but not so nicely. Unpolished topic intro follows:

Topic will be:

"Most things you consider to be evil are really just lonely and lacking in social niceties"

Feel free to comment on the topic before I do, as I can't right now. Consider this virtual circle time.

Write in such a way that if your blog is called upon to die prematurely (as mine are prone to do) they'll have a happy reunion with the good blogs of the past. However, it's likely that their tarnished descendants (like this one) will end up going to the postMaster Demon (and yes I know that's not what it is, but Demon is far more appropriate than what's his bucket)

Pain

(post 9)

I wrote on this space for 30 min just a minute(or thirty) ago. The title of the blog was "Calm." It was a decent post. Not spectacular, but decent. Somehow I deleted it when I was trying to copy it and spellcheck it. That was ok because the awesome autosave feature kicked in right before I killed it. I only lost my signing out line. Easy to reproduce, no big deal. I felt elated. So I proceeded to copy it to spellcheck it and guess what, I mysteriously killed it again (and it still didn't make it to my clipboard). "So what?" says I, "I'll just go back to the saved draft and grab it again right?" As I think this the autosave does it's job again, only a half second before I could tap the appropriate button. *Deathknell* I'm thinking that the cruel irony is worse than the original pain of loosing it. Besides that, my stupidity is being rubbed in my face.

by the way. no spahellerChecking for this one. ever.

Copied from my journal, 1/27/2008

"President Hinckley [of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints] died 2 hours ago at 7:00 PM in his home in Salt Lake City. I loved that man. More than that I know by the power of the Holy Ghost, and also know now, that he was and is a prophet of God. I know that the succession of the prophetic mantel will proceed in the way that the Lord has set. All will be well, though we grieve and morn for the loss of the man who has led us for the last decade."

Schmetterling said something worth reading about the passing of this prophet.
