... the 60 votes he needs to avert a GOP filibuster, aides said. Since then, Reid has made numerous concessions to moderate Democrats, scrapping an effort to create a government-run insurance plan and beefing up prohibitions on spending federal funds for abortion coverage, a change demanded by the final holdout, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska. Instead of a public option, the final product would allow ...

TED YOU CAN'T DESIGN A MURDER HOUSE!

...who is a simpering, mousy little nobody inthe book) is actually kind of spunky and cute (and the actor who plays her is a PETA supporter, so go her). * Jacob Black: Look, kudos to the kid for beefing up, really. I wish I could make my guns look that impressive. But he still can't act for shit. * Robert Pattinson really let his accent slide in this movie. Apparenly he didn't have a dialogue coach, ...

Nathan and Alex, wee hour of Tuesday morning

...." "He's more likely to try to lure either of you into an ambush, I think, from his profile," Alex said thoughtfully. "Exploit vulnerabilities--might not be a bad idea to talk to Mr. Rasputin about beefing up security in the village. Though he's smart enough to know we'll be watching, so I don't think he'll try anything right away." Which was the entire problem with somebody like Creed. Brutal as...

These’ll be used for that, the poppies for the header...

I'm Tired of Beefing with you, Cock Blocking my Shine!

*Hyuna woke up rather late and looked around wondering where Amber had gone, she goes to freshen up (shower, brush her teeth, comb her hair) she changes into some yellow cotton shorts and a t-shirt, she walks over to the couch, slumping in it with her blanket, she covers herself up, flipping through channels, she wasn't necessarily in the mood to go out today or stay in bed, she sees 'Titanic" ...

Beefing about the Iphone.

Ok, it's more an Apple beef. They charge a bunch for the iPhone, we all know this. They charge a bunch for the related accessories, too. Anything that's pure white, and has the little "apple" on it, costs more than the usual. So given that a replacement set of headphones for the iPhone is at LEAST Forty Bucks, why are my headphones falling apart less than a year after buying the device? I'm ...

Sooo. Things I'd like to remember about this weekend! -Bible Study. I'd honestly love to take a class on different religions' interpretations of the bible.

Our loss = their cranberry vodkas. :( -Kings Cup with the Backyardigans! ...

it's gettng hard

... KT Tunstall for a moment, please. One of my musical OTPs is KT Tunstall and her loop pedal. She uses an Akai E2 Headrush loop pedal, which is a device that many musicians buy in hopes of beefing up their sound, only to be let down immensely. A loop pedal is nothing more than absolutely ordinary in the hands of most people. Used correctly, however, subtly, it absolutely pops . This is the case ...
