Less than 21 hours to go!
COME ON, AUSTRALIA!
This is my favorite thing on the Internet, EVER.

Hahaha… To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Amazon.com are offering a free MP3 download of “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye. Nice.
Edited to add: Bastards. It’s US-only. Of course, they don’t tell you that until you’ve already logged in and installed their stupid Downloader app. Grrr.
Pride & Prejudice as a Facebook News Feed. THAT IS MY FAVORITE THING ON THE INTERNET, EVER. “Fitzwilliam Darcy became a fan of Fine Eyes.” It’s just perfect in every way. (Link courtesy of Lara.)
Blood Clot and Brain Cupcakes. Bookmarking for Halloween… even though nobody ever eats cupcakes at parties, and I always forget that.
Hey, I know we’ve just had a heartbreaking national tragedy and all, but what I think we all really need is for Germaine Greer and Miranda bloody Devine to start pointing accusatory fingers at everyone they don’t like. Doesn’t that just make everyone feel better? Thought so.
I forgot to mention that we got a Cat-It Drinking Fountain last weekend. Snookums had noticed that Professor Death liked playing with his water bowl, so we figured he might prefer running water. The pet store at Broadway was out of stock but had an ex-display model they offered us for $50, so we snapped it up. As expected, both cats were pretty wary at first. Petey’s come to like it a lot though, and he often drinks from the water spilling out over the dome. We’ve heard that urinary issues in male cats are both life-threatening and expensive, so anything that keeps him drinkin’ water is a good thing!
I’ve heard from a few non-Australians who want to know where/how they can donate to the Bush Fire Appeal. Here are some campaigns that I know about:
I was really happy to hear that my new company donated $10,000 to the Appeal. I hope we can all do even more.
Edited to add: I’ve had an enquiry about using American credit cards to donate Aussie Dollars. It’s cool; your credit card company will handle the exchange. (I use my Aussie card to buy stuff internationally all the time.) Your statement will show the exchange rate they used, and IIRC credit card companies/banks usually give you a pretty decent rate.
Wow! Snookums just pointed out that I’m on cracked.com today, albeit indirectly. See that Valentine at #15 there? Whoever Photoshopped it took it directly from mine! I don’t mind though; it’s worth a chuckle. And a lot of people in the comments seem to think that one was the best of the lot.
@crumpet Wish you had Wii Guitar Hero. We need a singer for our band “Dr Jonz and Prof Death”!
has finally figured out why latest @heroespodcast keeps stopping on iPhone. http://tinyurl.com/bdtmqf Will grab next one via iTunes to test.
managed a 2mi run this morning before the rain came. Best one yet, even tho I’m super sore from boxing Wed. Didn’t want to stop!
