Keith was here last night too
Keith stayed over last night, mostly because I kidnapped his Patrick O’Brian book and then started snoring. Evil I am. I took him out to dinner and he had tandoori chicken for the first time (on Caesar salad…)
Last night I dreamed that Spike from Buffy was writing a book on how to be the perfect boyfriend. Most of us spewed out our tea when we heard this, especially when he started lecturing us about it (he went on at length and I sure wish I could remember any of it). We were all dressed in period costume (like a really really bad bunch of Pirates/Aubrey-Maturin/Diamond Age/mid-Victorian cosplayers). We got on a boat and hunted crocodiles. The inside of the boat was bigger than the outside.
Work is abruptly better because there’s a new hire starting next week. I cheered up. Also, my coworkers are awesome – I just thought I’d mention that. I still wish I could say something about two other departments in my company besides, “If brains were a Botox injection you’d look like a Sharpei”.
Oh for the love of Pete
I don’t care if the gov tells me to evacuate…. I’m smarter than that!
Chipper sez
Allegra should be more careful about what she links to, because when you’re on dial-up cookies are murder. Point taken; I will be more careful in future.
It’s been bally ages since I posted a decent moose pic
A rollover map of obesity in the US
This is very thought provoking. As daughter Katie has discovered, poverty is inextricably linked with obesity in the first world; this is a map of poverty.
It isn’t just the Chinese messing with the grub
Just in Time for the Silly Season
Curse you, Micro$oft.
Load Vista, get Uncle Sam checking up on you.
Curse you Jo Rowling
Indeed. So, I won’t bother to mention when I went to bed last night, but I blasted through the exceeding wonderful Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last night; a lot of people die!
If you go to Veritaserum.com there’s a streaming video of Jo Rowling reading the first chapter of the book. Scroll down until you find it.
I like maps
Flash Earth. I really enjoyed zooming in and out of Vancouver.
always wanted to know what this looked like….
Who’s crazy now?
I’m disgusted about this misdiagnosis story.
I’ve seen David Byrne, but I’ve never seen Talking Heads
but if you want to go back to Rome, 1980….
scanged from Cory Doctorow’s Boingboing.net post, with L&T. Apparently most of that concert is on Youtube now. Honest to god, will everything be on Youboob soon?
Tapioca Song
Just as a reminder, the words and lyrics to the Tapioca Song have been pdf’d and are on the photo section of this site….I suppose I should move it, but I lazy.
