After 20 minutes of utter frustration at the post office this morning, I return highly amused by a most appropriate ( Egyptian Zodiac response given how my day's been going so far: )

I've decided today is guilty pleasures day and so I'll share one of mine with you. There's this one episode of Little House on the Prairie, ok actually a made for tv movie for the series, wherein the one character I actually liked on the show, Albert, comes down with a terminal disease and presumably succumbs to it shortly after the credits roll. Yeah, I know, I'm a total black widow when it comes to the characters I get attached to. If I like them, they're doomed. Which does make me fear for Severus. If he were a character in the movie Feast his life expectancy would probably read: "Ellie loves him...he's fucked."

Anyway, they were playing the show last night, which I discovered quite by accident, and I recorded it. That show and the movies "The English Patient" and "Dark Victory" are my "Break Glass in Case of Emergency Sob-Fest Flicks". If I need to cry my eyes out they're all guaranteed to do it for me. I have this thing about dying with dignity, you see.

Of course it doesn't hurt that I also had a raging crush on Albert Ingalls while growing up.

Got a guilty pleasure of your own? Share it in the comments.

Norbizness has a great rant up about car commercials and the annoying/inappropriate songs chosen for them. But then goes on to recommend a few to the executives for future use and I just have to share them:
Hummer H3: "The Asshole Song" by Denis Leary
Ford Expedbehemoth: "You're Crazy For Taking The Bus" by Jonathan Richman
BMW Roadster: "Always Crashing the Same Car" by David Bowie
Toyota Corolla (my car of choice): "Chickenshit Conformist" by Dead Kennedys
Insanely Ugly Box Thing from Honda: "Get Off the Road" by The Cramps

Got your own suggestions?

Obscenity

You know, to me obscenity isn't a couple of people (or more) gettin' it on, obscenity is stuff like this:

When you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, give a little thanks that you're living in a place where access to fresh, clean water is something you can take for granted.
