Kryptonite

I think this Clamato energy drink just might be my Kryptonite. Mussst… puke… now.

Edited to add: Max has found an even less appetizing drink, and he’s using it to play “Death Is Not an Option.” I actually voted for the Clamato.

RIP Mr. Wizard

RIP Mr. Wizard. I used to love that show. Fun fact: The two penguins on “Beakman’s World” were named “Don” and “Herb” in his honor.

Buffalo Stance

“Gordon Ramsay crashes a car while trying to herd buffalo.” Now THAT’S an intriguing headline!

Summer Knitty

The Summer Knitty is up… and it may be the freezing, nasty weather here, but I’m just not feelin’ it. The only designs that really stood out for me were the bloomers and the lion washcloth.

Dropping Dewey

Huh. A public library in the States is becoming the first to drop the Dewey Decimal System. Interesting. I have to say, I’m a “browser” myself and I always found Dewey constricting when moseying along the racks.

Wii Critique

This critique of the Wii by a “serious gamer” really annoyed me. He’s worried because he doesn’t think the popular Wii games are as serious or immersive as games for other platforms, and the market will become flooded with low-quality knockoffs. And you know what? He can BITE ME. He sounds exactly like the people the decry Harry Potter as poor literature. They’d rather people didn’t read/play at all, if they’re not going to read/play something deemed acceptable. I also resent the implication that the only reason I prefer Wii Tennis to Gears of War is because I’m too stupid to appreciate the latter. Maybe I don’t play games to have long, immersive experiences. Maybe I just want to relax and have a good time. Is that somehow cheapening the experience of hardcore gamers? Pffft. Whatever. The gaming industry has been stagnant for far too long, and I’m happy that there are finally games that I’m interested in playing.

Slow Down!

Your Fat Fighting Question of the Week: How can I learn to slow down and enjoy what I’m eating?

Custom Fit Knee Socks

How to Custom Fit Your Knitted Knee Socks. I’m all about the knitting links here lately. I’ve got my knitting mojo back! (It helps that I’m working on a super secret project.)

Dark Mark Illusion Scarf

Dark Mark Illusion Scarf. That is BAD. ASS.

WWKIP Day

More photos from WWKIP Day: Mary-Helen, Michelle, Charisse, Kate, Gemma, and Andrew. And David’s posted his podcast, in case you want to hear our ambient noise. (He also interviews me. I sound WEIRD. Do I really sound like that?)
