It's Falkor, REbek.

In response to Rebekkin's quest (slash denial), I respond with (although no question was asked) this:

Cute, lovable, mighty, flying Falkor. Apparently there is some debate about whether his name is spelled with a K or a C, though I found more spellings with the K, like on wiki. I know, the learning just abounds in this post. However, did I find any Balcors out there? Not so much. I got one of those Google remarks, "Did you mean: falkor neverending story" that so nicely pop up when you misspell or mistype a word. But Rebek, you are cute and lovable too.

Don't you also want to scratch behind his ear?

I'm looking at buying new glasses and someone outside of Tokyo Gardens one night told me of this site, Zenni Optical, where you can get frames and your prescription lenses at crazy cheap prices (and yes, they will even do transitions!). A bit of a risk since you can't try them on before you buy. But getting a great deal on (hopefully) cute prescription glasses? Cool.

However, the site also offers beauties like these...


...which fall into the "ridiculous/are you serious?/must only be for elementary school teachers" category. No, your eyes do not deceive you. They're winter-themed frames.

I just searched, cut and pasted after seeing this on the news-- this tells me a) people in America are ridiculous and GROSS (McDonald's is badwrongbad in so many ways) and b) more people need to go to therapy.

Florida woman calls 911 3 times because she says McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets

By Associated Press

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Florida woman called 911 three times after McDonald's employees told her they were out of McNuggets. A police report said 27-year-old Fort Pierce resident Latreasa L. Goodman told authorities she paid for a 10-piece last week but was later informed the restaurant had run out.

She says she was refused a refund and told all sales were final. A cashier told police she offered Goodman a larger portion of different food for the same price, but Goodman became irate.

Police say Goodman was cited on a misuse of 911 charge. A current phone listing for Goodman couldn't be found.

A McDonald's spokesman says Goodman should have been given a refund, and she's being sent a gift card for a free meal.
