  • Cats

    The Snook just sent me this link to, like, 1500 funny cat pictures. I’m not even halfway through them yet. Mostly puerile Internet humour, but I’m still laughing.

  • iConcertCal

    Sweet. iConcertCal is a plugin for iTunes that searches for live gigs from the artists in your mp3 library taking place in your town. It claims to not handle international searches yet, but I put “Sydney, AUS” in as my location and it works perfectly! And yep, it even works on Windows. (Hey, Weird Al is playing the Enmore next month!)

  • HP7

    Okay, not only have they just announced that July 21 is the publication date for the very last Harry Potter book… but I just discovered that gleebooks is already taking deposits for the Gleewarts Express. I just left a message with “Dumbledore” at the shop who’s going to ring me back this afternoon to book our spots. Anybody else interested? Last time it was around $100 a person but it’s a full day with food and entertainment (and a train trip!), and you get your copy of the book. You’ve got to dress in costume though!

    After two days of rest and ice, the leg is feeling pretty good! I walked to work this morning without any pain or stiffness. The physio still wants me to refrain from running for a while longer, but at least I can get some exercise now. (And get back to my Challenges. I have another one starting today.)

    Awww, even his widdle baby acne is cute!

  • Naked Harry

    Phwoar! That’s some pretty naked Daniel Radcliffe! I hope there’s a shirtless stable scene in the last HP book… (Link courtesy of Andrew, who is decidedly not an Old Perv.)

  • Heroes

    Hey, Australians: Don’t forget that Heroes starts tonight! It’s a must-see. (That is, if you haven’t already been, uh, watching it on the Internet.)

  • RunningBlog

    It appears that perhaps psorr was prescient. Despite not running for the past few days, I’ve just suffered a blinding pain in my left quad when reaching down for a book. I’m off to the physio in ten minutes. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

    Later: Turns out I have a small tear in this sucker. It’s not bad. I’m supposed to ice it for a few days and take it easy. I can walk, but not fast. The hardest thing is fighting the urge to stretch it. (I’m not supposed to.) It’s like poking a sore tooth. I just want to make sure it still hurts. Again, STUPID.

    Caffeinated doughnuts?! We just might have to move back to America.
