12:11 am - Phia in the snow!
So I'm 7 minutes late with this one, but I think I deserve an honorable mention because HOLY CRAP it was a struggle to edit this down from the 6 minutes my dad took and then figure out how the fuck to get it on YouTube because stupid .wmv format is stupid. STUPID.
Anyway. Here is a (still) much-too-long video of Phia doing silly things in the snow. Mostly for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}

Probably more worth looking at is this delightful collection of Tips for Single Ladies from 1938. I am sure this will land me a stand-up gentleman (or gentlelady? I'm not sure the same rules apply for them, though). Drinking may make some girls seem clever, but most get silly.

07:48 pm - Duck rape.
"A third of all duck matings are forced."
Thank you to kailen for posting that on Facebook - I am now spreading the cheer that comes along with learning about DUCK GENITALIA. Let me tell you, guys, it is worth reading about. That shit is WHACK. The author more than once describes duck penises as "extravagant". EXTRAVAGANT. Bet you bitches wish your dicks were extravagant.
"The ducks were escalating an arms race, genital for genital", he writes, of the evolutionary patterns observed in duck genitalia. THIS ARTICLE JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER.
UM THERE IS VIDEO you, too, can watch a duck become erect.
OH HANG ON I FORGOT I'M SUPPOSED TO EMBED VIDEO EVERY DAY HERE WE GO GUYS
That is your Generic Holiday present from me, F-list. Enjoy. If that wasn't enough for you, there is also a video of ducks' penises everting into tubes. I know - just what you always wanted!

01:35 pm - A homeless man covers Radiohead's Creep, and other tales of pathos
Wow. Maybe it's the hangover a little? But I just don't really know what to say about that.
Judging by the trend maybe I will embed a video a day this week. MAYBE. Probably not though.
Last night I went to the Saloon and got intoxicated and gave a large black Puerto Rican man named Rico my phone number. He asked me if I had ever dated a black man or a Puerto Rican man and then he said he's both in one. HOW COULD I REFUSE also why does LJ think I'm spelling "Puerto Rican" wrong? Really? Your dictionary has not been updated since Puerto Rico CAME INTO EXISTENCE? Anyway, Rico called me this morning and woke me up at 11:30. NOT EARNING POINTS BUDDY
I don't normally wake up at half to noon. Just so you know. You judgmental jerks.
But yeah, the Saloon! Oh lordy, I haven't been there in so long. It was a general blast. Saw so many people who I haven't seen in so long and would really be happy about seeing more often! Like amelia and cthuljew! Normally I am not that into hanging out at bars but with people like them and kailen and i3endy around it is A-okay.

11:47 am - Sharing is caring
Is all art real art and is pop art art?
That is Amanda Palmer, formerly of the Dresden Dolls, who is fantastic and fun and dating Neil Gaiman. And that is a fun question to discuss. Your thoughts, dear friends?
In other news, conservatives are editing the liberal bias out of the bible. A much needed change, clearly. Damn those liberal scholars.
It is really cool how babies are totally amazed by different sensations. Like Sebastian has this little squishy walrus toy that squirts water out of it if it is filled with water, and air if it is filled with air, et cetera I imagine this is a familiar mechanic to you all. If you squish it at him he is just totally thrilled by the feeling of air hitting his cheeks.
Also he was so excited about putting that walrus's head in his mouth that he put it in too far and gagged and that was a little sad but also made me lol. Am I a bad aunt?

This is my favorite senator.
For more reasons than just that, of course.

10:59 am - gon' eatcher brains
So I have a profile on OKCupid (username's Footrubs, if you want to check it out), and someone just asked me in a message why I'm afraid of zombies, but not vampires. I've written a bit of poetry in response:
"I think the difference between zombies and vampires is the lack of intellect in a zombie. See, a vampire, you can reason with. They might not be dead-set (no pun intended) on consuming you if you have something else to offer them. But a zombie? That fucker's gonna eat your brains, no two ways about it."
These are the conversations I have with people who may potentially want to date me. I feel good about that.

07:02 pm - HOLY NEAT
UM SO THIS IS REALLY COOL not only because I really like octopuses but because their intellect is advancing in a visible way and that is so cool! So so cool!
Also it is impressive how the BBC has several videos relating to tool-using animals.
Also also my cat is being really adorable right now. Although not using any tools. SOPHIA GET SMARTER WHY DONCHA
