Crud. I just discovered that they’re changing the Hogwarts scarf design for the Prisoner of Azkaban film! (You can see pictures here.) I guess that means I’ll need to revise the pattern I use…

Jamie Oliver’s Blog
Huh. Jamie Oliver has a weblog. I haven’t been through all the archives but I really like the section where gives cooking tips and answers questions.

Blog survey results
Blog Survey: Expectations of Privacy and Accountability. I wondered why I hadn’t heard about this until I saw the dates and realized I was up at Camp Creative around then. Anyway, nothing too startling in those results. I was surprised to see the male-female ratio though. Somehow I thought there were more girls doing this blogging thing. I wonder if the percentages would have changed if “journalers” had been included as well…

Toys of the 80’s
Toys of the 80’s. That’s a huge time suck if ever I saw one. I spent half the day reminiscing about Popples and Puffalumps and Care Bears.

“New fashion of this Spring! It’s gonna hit big! She’s kind of froggy…”
Oh. My. God. (No, that’s no my cat.) I love the Japanese. Check out this page of costumes for cats. The descriptions are as funny as the pictures. What kind of person dresses their cat up as “Anne of Green Gables”? I do like the “gentleman’s” shirt and tie though. It’s “the least that handsome boy needs.” And don’t forget to give you cat a “hub” afterwards!Edited 17/03/2025: Link is dead and Wayback Machine’s version is broken. Leaving up for the comments.

Girl Scout Cookies
Aww, man, I’d kill for some Girl Scout cookies, no matter what you call ’em. I love all three of those kinds if anybody’s got some extras. 🙂

Aussie underwear maker Bonds is launching a swimwear line. Cool. I really hope they do an underwire bikini top.

National Corndog Day
How did I miss this? National Corndog Day is next Saturday! “Celebrating 12 Years of Golden-Breaded Goodness…” HA! I was always partial to mustard on my corndogs, but some plain ol’ Heinz 57 is good too. The only problem with throwing my own corndog party is… no corndogs! They don’t really exist here. Hmm, you can make them from scratch, right? It’s just basically a cornbread-type batter on a hotdog. Maybe I’ll have to try it.
Addendum: The Snook informs me that corndogs are available here! They call them “Dagwood Dogs”. (No idea why.) He says you can only get them from greasy takeout joints though, so I still might try and make my own.
