Week (or so) Recap

So, first, I was going to do something on indulgences last Friday, in honor of these babies. Note that they are no longer available in size 8.5--that would be because the last pair in that size are on my feet right now. And, my dulcet darlings, they are indeed happy feet. I have gotten a total of four unsolicited compliments on my shoes so far today and two more compliments that, to be frank, I was totally fishing for ("Look at my shoes. Don't you love them? Aren't you totally jealous of me?"). I ordered them last Friday, so I had this whole idea about a post about pampering yourself, and the things you spend too much money on because you love yourself, what is your most common indulgence, what have you ever really splurged on, that kind of thing.

Then, I got totally derailed by this site: American Rhetoric: Top 100 Speeches, which has the text of all those top 100 speeches, and in almost every case, even has audio. So you want to hear Elie Wiesel on "The Perils of Indifference"? Of course you do! How's your Lou Gehrig "Farewell to Baseball" impression? Practice! You know what everyone needs more of in their life? William Jennings Bryant, that's what!

Sadly, though, I got lost on that one, too. I spent waaaay too much time listening to MacArthur's Farewell Address to Congress just because I could (don't you judge me. You try having access to that much FDR and not blowing an entire afternoon). But what I was going to do was ask about great and inspiring words you have heard, and about your college commencement speakers, and if there was anything you thought was conspicuously absent from the list, and if you were as bummed as me that there was no recording of Eugene V. Debs.

For this week, frankly, I've got nothing. Well. Not nothing. I've got lolcats.

For those of you unaware of the lolcats before now, I sincerely apologize. They will eat your life. You will spend roughly two straight days clicking through the site and giggling like a moron.
"Gotz mai hair didz" will cause you to need to get up from your desk, convulse into the hallway, and need to retire to the bathroom for ten minutes to get yourself back under control. As soon as you calm down, you will come back to your desk, click on something and find a cat learning to waltz and snort coffee through your nose. You will get too involved in the tragic saga of the lolrus and his bucket. You will come home and find a link to loltrek. Just when you think it can't get any better, you will find lolpresidents.

I just wanted to let you know that I am leaving you all. I am going to run off with the person who came up with "IM IN UR LUEEZEANA PURCHS MANIFESTN DESTENEE"

Actually, no I'm not. Because I don't know who that person is. I'm totally in love with that person, though.

So, there you have it. No Friday Fun last week because I was lame. No Friday Fun this week because . . . well, I don't think you can post pictures into comments. Otherwise I'd demand a lolshakespeare or something. Although, if you give me some lolshakespeare ideas, I will see what I can do next week to cook up something in photoshop. . . hmm. . .
