Weekend Bits

I've heard some comments about Eurovision before but I didn't expect this: Ukraine (video).

YouTube has Tickle Me Emo which I'm sure Duckie would say is me. This is doubly amusing because Father bought a "Tickle Me Elmo" for the SIL one Christmas because she was obsessed with having one. That may have been the Christmas Mother got nothing but dish towels and I was the only one who didn't laugh. That stuck with her. I got her dish towels because when we were shopping she picked some out thinking no one would've thought to get them.

Post holiday, we ended up jewelry shopping instead. She was very pissed. The mere thought of the stone on that ring frightens me even today. Where was I?

Bill Clinton's pal Lanny Davis is defending eHarmony against ads by a competitor highlighting their rejections of non-heterosexual applicants looking for mates. Read more in Wash. Post Lanny is an odd guy, not the usual true-blue flack. Since eHarmony's matching process is based on psychological studies of heterosexual couples it makes sense they wouldn't try to fit the square peg in the round hole and stick to candidates for whom the data is applicable. Duckie has no worries, I'm sure I'd be screened as not happy enough. I'd be more likely to sign up if their founder didn't talk in the ads with the soft, non-threating voice of a cult-leader. *shudder*
