A Series of Ramblings and Reposts
July 2012
If you’re going to reblog a joke post I made months ago and turn it into something serious, you’d best expect me to go look at your blog and then tell all my friends what a douchefuck you are for actually equating heightism (NOT A REAL THING) with racism (A VERY REAL THING).
Also, drop the Nice Guy (tm) crap. She doesn’t like you, bro, and it’s got nothing to do with your being short. It’s because you’re an asshole.

You’d be amazed how much shit just shuts down where there’s an electrical storm. I’ve never seen that much lightning, but is there really a reason to shut down gas stations and grocery stores? People kinda need those things at times like this.
Life sucks if you use Instagram, Netflix or Pinterest right now. A huge storm knocked out an Amazon data farm in Virginia which ran all three. →

An outage of Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud in North Virginia has taken down Netflix, Pinterest, Instagram, and other services. According to numerous Twitter updates and our own checks, all three services are unavailable as of Friday evening at 9:10 p.m. PT.
Amazon’s service health dashboard indicates that there are power issues in its North Virginia data center, most likely caused by severe storms in the region.

by request! great choice, thanks for the rec! :D
Yes
75mph winds and the parking lot is now a lake, but the power is back on!
Oh no. It seems like the power is going to go out soon. Every time it’s about to go out we lose power to half the apartment and all the lights flicker. It’s 97 outside, y’all. No power means no air conditioning.
Went for a walk to get frozen custard and on the way back a posse of 10 speeding cop cars with lights and sirens blaring passed us. I’ve never seen that many at once. Wonder what the hell happened.
Washington, D.C. shatters all-time June record high, sizzles to 104 - The Washington Post →

D.C.’s hottest June temperatures in 142 years of record-keeping.
it was horrible, y’all.
“Brienne’s story is an adaptation of a traditionally male narrative, one that usually sidelines or victimises female characters. She swears fealty to a woman, as male knights swear to their liege lord, because she respects that woman’s strength, her bravery and her kindness. She goes on a quest to save the beautiful maiden, but not to marry her or benefit from the quest in any way, but to return her to her mother. Because she cares for Catelyn, and because it is the right thing to do. It is a story of a woman, rescuing a woman, for the sake of another woman. It is a rare story where the mother, the young girl and the shieldmaiden are all given equal weight and worth. Brienne, despite taking on many stereotypically male traits, is not “one of the boys” or in any way dismissive of her gender as a group. She does not fit into the role that society has assigned for her, but she does not disparage those who do. She uses her strength and her skill to respect and help other women in ways that most men in Westeros would never even think to attempt, because she understands, more than any other knight, that women are truly worth something as individuals.”

God, but wouldn’t Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift be the most glorious trainwreck ever? And after the inevitable breakup she can write songs like “It’s Me and You (And Xenu Makes Three)” and “Your Love was a Mission Impossible” and “Your First Three Wives Were Whores.”
