How to Play Piano. EXCELLENT. The Snook and I have discussed getting him a keyboard for his birthday this year since he used to play piano when he was younger. I’ve always wished I could play myself… so I just may give this tutorial a go!

World Pooh-Sticks Championship
Huh? How did I not know that the World Pooh-Sticks Championship was on this weekend? I’ve won a few rounds of pooh-sticks myself, actually. (Oh my God. Those pictures are from when we were living in London. Look how fat I was! Or rather, don’t.)

Exercise Songs
This Ask MetaFilter thread has given me lots of good ideas for additions to my running playlist.

Sioux Tribe
Hey Aunt Deb, aren’t we supposed to be 1/32 Native American or something? Which tribe are we? I hope it’s the Sioux. They rock. (*wondering how one donates money to a tribe*)

Learning How to Run
Learning How to Run. Yeah, I need to go for a run tonight. Unfortunately my birthday dinner triggered a weeklong food depression in which I’m still mired. I’ve been really tired for days – like, sleepy tired – and I’m stuffing my face with carbs. I haven’t even bothered tracking my Points. This is BAD, y’all. I know in my brain that all the rich food I had last week was the culprit, yet I’m still having trouble snapping out of this. (Needless to say, I didn’t weigh in last night.) Anybody have any words of wisdom for nipping a shame spiral in the bud? (Running link courtesy of Brigita.)

Punny Jokes
Need a laugh? Someone asks MetaFilter for the funniest jokes that don’t involve making fun of anyone. They tend towards puns and wordplay, but there are some real gems in there. I like the one with the big horse and the little horse. Oh, and the Snoop Dogg jokes. I am a sucker for Snoop Dogg jokes.

Kiwiberries
On a whim, I bought some KiwiBerries at the grocery store this morning and they’re currently ripening on my desk. Does anybody know how to eat these? Do I just chew them up, skin and all?

Scrubs Forum
Yay! TelevisionWithoutPity have finally added an official Scrubs forum. I love Scrubs. The thread of favorite quotes is especially good, and it includes Rodd’s and my all-time favorite: “Hey, champ! What has two thumbs and doesn’t give a crap? [holds up thumbs, pointing in at self] Bob Kelso. How ya doin’.”

Food Scarves
Crocheted scarves that look like food. Those are absolutely brilliant! My favorite is the Bomb Pop; I may have to attempt a recreation in knitting. I wonder what it is about crochet that inspires so many of its practitioners to create food-related items… (Link via Pop Culture Junk Mail.)
