G's comment on missing her school's Christmas concert due to illness:

"Oh man, I learned to play 'The Little Drummer Boy' on the recorder for NOTHING."

News that makes my morning

Those of you who know me in real life will know about my (possibly irrational) hatred for Bratz dolls. Well, today is a happy day, because a federal judge has banned the company from manufacturing and selling them. The ruling came about because of copyright infringement and not because Bratz are streetwalking hos, but anything that makes them go away -- and stops that Bratz girls really rock! theme song from playing during every commercial break on Nickelodeon -- is A-OK with me. Plus, it will make life easier for G, currently the recipient of much sympathy from her friends because she has a crazy strict mother who doesn't let her have these wildly popular dolls.

So long, Bratz! Don't let the door hit your skanky asses on your way out!
