  • Oscar Contest 2009

    Oscar Contest 2009The Seventh Annual Web-Goddess Oscar Contest is now open for entry! This year’s winner will take home a one-of-a-kind pair of Batman and Joker sock monkeys. (I almost didn’t do them because it seemed too obvious, but I also couldn’t resist the opportunity to make my second Heath Ledger tribute monkey.) I have to say, the Joker monkey is without a doubt the most DISTURBING sock creation of all time. He features hand-hooked green hair, a green waistcoat, a purple duster, and a SUPER-CREEPY painted face. Batman features a utility belt, a bat crest on his chest, his bat mask/helmet, and a long black cape. You could act out your favorite scenes from the movie… or slash fiction! Up to you.

    Please note: You’re welcome to save these photos to your server as long as you give me credit and link back to the contest. If I catch you hot-linking them or claiming credit, I reserve the right to replace them with something nasty (or poke you in the eye with a pencil).

    Anyway, I know this picture is enormous, but it’s also my favorite and I can’t resist. I’ve got this set as my desktop wallpaper right now.

    Here’s the full view so you can see how long their arms/legs/tails are.

    Joker close-up. Note: I used acrylic paint on his face, so you can’t ever get him wet or it’ll come off.

    I think I have cat scratch fever. Well, I have a scratch from a cat, and it’s REALLY FRICKIN’ HOT, anyway.


    Band on the Run is a really weird song. It’s like the soundtrack to a movie that never got made.


    @crumpet Yay! Well done. Are you going to send a link to Neil or shall I? 🙂


    Holed up in the bedroom. (Snookums has rigged up the A/C.) We may hide in here for the next 2 days if it doesn’t cool off…


    @gadgetgirl70 It finally hit the city, thank heavens. Rain would be nice too.


    Overheard at Kmart just now: “There is just one box fan left in the store! Repeat, we only have one box fan left. Only 19.95!” Gougers.


    @henrytapia SMS func is only compelling if you’re in country they support. (Not Oz.)


    @henrytapia Yep & iPhone % is good here. Still most Aussies only tweet from PCs, which decreases fun & usefulness. Might as well be blogging


    @gadgetgirl70 I was going for emo.


    So we’re all agreed? The entire country will be watching the Dokic match tonight, right?

  • Emoji

    I just enabled emoji for my iPhone! Emoji are tiny icons that are commonly used in messaging on Japanese mobile phones. There are hundreds of them, with everything from smilies to animals to anthropomorphic poo. (Yes, seriously.)

  • Best of Booty 2008

    I saw on Jenny‘s Facebook that the new Best of Booty 2008 is out. W00t! I love these mash-ups.

    Me: Awesome! Best of Booty is out! (whips out iPhone)
    Snook: You’re putting it on your To Do list? “Today: Procure booty.”
    Me: “Procure booty” sounds like it should be on a pirate’s To Do list.
    Snook: Well, it’s always on my daily list…

  • Soooo cute.

    Dr. Amy just started grooming Petey’s ears. My heart may explode from the kitty-cuteness.
