Writer's Block: The Right to Privacy
Self made celebs like actors, politicians, etc - it's a fair price.
We should probably give overnight/surprise celebs a break.

What's going on with Rufus?????
Things are fine. Meeting a lot of old friends on Facebook - I post there more often than here. A link to me is on ym userinfo page.
Taking a break from World of Warcraft, just like I did back in 2007.
Amber and I celebrated ten years married in June.
Kids are all fine, though we have a sore throat going around. I can't wait for school to be back in session.
We went to Washington DC on Vacation this year, had a blast - Amber and the kids enjoyed it too! Amber had been iffy on the idea of Washington for vacation, so seeing her enjoy it was pure happy for me.
( Picture! )
How are all of you? Your LJ posts are coming to be as rare as mine - my friends page is mostly my communities, which I post in heavily.

Writer's Block: How'd You Get Here?
My older sister (and only sibling), spasmsproject, had a Livejournal which was quite popular - she wrote a very short story each day for a full year (and succeeded, too!). I had been checking in from time to time, and finally created a name to use for commenting.
I chose the name rufushonkerivbecause my mother had mentioned it to me a year or so before when she had been playing with anagrams. I was bummed I couldn't put in spaces.
I bounced from user icon to user icon, until one day when I was watching School House Rock on a DVD compilation I had bought for the kids. (I've always been a huge SHR fan!) Rufus Xavier Sasparilla came on and I let loose with an interjection in my head: "Hey! I'm Rufus!" So later that day I put the DVD in the computer, screencapped around 10 seconds in, and did some photoshopping of the text from throughout the video. Ta-da! I had a personal default icon.
So there you have it. Though I may not post as often as I used to, I stil chek my friends list every day to see your entires and all the communities I'm involved in.

This will be dumb, but that doesn't mean I'm not intrigued.
Looks like the Old West meets Tremors.
"Don't jump until I say so" Talk about trying for dramatics....
Ah, these aliens are slower than molasses in January and need eyeglasses.
Aliens with special footsteps so loud you can only hear them AFTER they pass the window.

Strange
I had to disable commenting on this January 2007 post about the comic For Better or For Worse, because for some reason spammers LOVE posting ads on that and ONLY that post.

Writer's Block: Musical Affliction
Poker Face by Lady Gaga. (link is to the video - can't embed it)
I first heard it on the radio on the way home from work. I asked Amber about it when I got home because she's usually on top of things - but she not only hadn't heard of it, but gave me a confused look when I quoted "pah-pah-pah poker face".
She caught it a week or so later. Now it's stuck in my head. Get it out!!!!!

Where the Wild Things Are
The Trailer for Where the Wild Things Are is out.
I'm unimpressed. All we know is that the costumes look good and lots of things seem seem to explode or fall.

Writer's Block: Grab and Go
UFOs. I'm not really expecting to find anything, but sometimes they do seem a little secretive on the subject. I'd just like to know a solid yes/no or "we have this evidence we're having trouble figuring out".

What a load of...
This feller right here spends two minutes quoting the Bible about how God promised not to destroy the earth with a flood, and only he will decide when the end comes. Then he basically says that man cannot destroy the earth through climate change because that's in God's hands. He then says he believes God's word is infallible.
*sigh*
I'm not getting started on where I stand on the validity of the Bible as God's complete word. Or I will in that it gives subjective, personal direction to your own life - but it is NOT a code to be deciphered, nor something to rally dimwits to your own cause using carefully chosen verses.
If we can destroy the earth or not, we are capable of LARGE SCALE DESTRUCTION upon it. The way this guy is putting it, we can do what we want - we're not going to destroy it. However history has proven that when people are permitted to pollute freely it's the poor and destitute who suffer, not the wealthy nor the senators.
His saying "I see we have members of the clergy here to open up the theological discourse" might sound innocuous, but to me it sounds like "So go ahead, give me your best shot! I brought an army!"
Sorry, I'm ranting. *steps off soapbox*

As if their silly sappiness isn't enough...
..the Family Circus is recycling whole cartoons!!!
Left is from the early 1970's, right from last week. The Comics Curmudgeon had a reader send in the scanned comic from a 1970's compilation.
By the way, if you want a funny but sometimes fairly disturbing take on the Family Circus, check out the Dysfunctional Family Circus - now closed, but still lists the comics plus the user submitted captions.
