Martin Freeman (aka “Tim from The Office” and Arthur Dent in the upcoming Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie) has a very cool personal site that includes Babel Fish, The Game, a Flash game where you shoot little yellow fish into Martin’s ears. My best score so far is 94.

Roger Ebert has posted his Cannes Photo Album. Not bad, Uncle Rog! I like the idea of him walking around with a camera just like all the other tourists.

This one’s for Amy, who’ll be starting her new library job soon: Comic Books for Young Adults, a guide for librarians wishing to integrate comics into their regular holdings. Pretty cool. I really enjoyed Joss Whedon’s Fray and I’ve found myself perusing the “Graphic Novels” section at Borders more often. The ones I want are all so expensive though! I’d love it if I could check them out of the library.

Note to Aussies: Fahrenheit 9/11 is scheduled to premiere at the Melbourne Film Festival on July 22 and will open nationally a week later.

Nothing ruins the buzz of a nice cold beer on a sunny day quicker than hearing your co-workers joke about the fact that your President can’t even properly pronounce the name of the prison where we’ve been illegally torturing “enemy combatants.” What an idiot.

“Treatise on matching socks for the modern obsessive-compulsive.” I have to admit I know exactly where Patrick is coming from here. I have a lot of seemingly identical black cotton socks that actually feel wildly and obviously different once they’re on my feet. I tend to judge by length and color fade at first, but the elasticity test is truly the ultimate weapon.

I know I’ve been cheating on the whole Atkins thing quite a lot lately… but I’m going to shape up, I swear. As of now, I’m going on the No Carb Diet. HA! That is brilliant. (Link courtesy of Emily.)

Huh. Check out the interrobang. A punctuation mark I’ve never heard of?! Pretty cool. (More on interrobangs here.)

We made Martha Stewart’s Chicken with Ginger for dinner last night, and it was pretty darn yummy.

New Poll: I’ve been looking at our Vegas hotel options and now I’m all in a muddle. Should we spend a lot of money on someplace really nice – Did you know that the Luxor‘s elevators travel diagonally?? – or stay somewhere downmarket and have more cash to spend on activities? In other words, how should we “do” Vegas? Register your vote down on the right.
