Shocking!

I’m detoxing from too much CNN by just watching this clip over and over. It seems to be working out okay for me. This probably isn’t safe for work. I can never tell anymore since I don’t work with other people – and even when I did, they weren’t really safe for work.

The Onion: "Lovecraftian School Board Member Wants Madness Added To Curriculum"

West’s previous failed proposals include requiring the high school band to perform the tuneless flute songs of the blind idiot god Azathoth and offering art students instruction in the carving of morbid and obscene fetishes from otherworldly media.

Several parents attending the meeting were not impressed by West’s outburst.

“Last month, he wanted us to change the high school’s motto from ‘Many Kinds of Excellence’ to ‘Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn,'” PTA member Cathy Perry said. “I asked if it was Latin, and he said that it was the eldritch tongue of Shub- Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young. I don’t know from eldritch tongues, but I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.”

BlogHerDC

Yesterday’s BlogHer conference at the Bethesda Hyatt was informative, interesting, and very fun. The food was also amazing, as was the closing reception. The open bar led to more interesting “why I blog” stories than the morning coffee did, for some reason, but I shall tell no tales.

I got to reconnect with an old friend, MamaDharma and meet the DC Goodwill Fashionista (who, yes, I linked to…just yesterday). Actually, I met loads of new and interesting bloggers and blogggers-to-be and I think that I’m going to be doing a whole series of link round-ups in the coming weeks as I check out all of their blogs.

For now I need to go recover, for health reasons I have to watch out for those kinds of very long days and give myself ample rest time. It will also give me time to polish up a post which is the direct result of BlogHerDC and an ongoing conversation that threaded throughout my day about health-blogging. You’ll have to check back in tomorrow to read it, though.

In the meantime, go have a good laugh at The Onion, “Scott Bakula Jumps Into McCain’s Body Just Before Election/”
