Don't look for logic or sense-making here. I've got, like, 40 tabs open in Firefox and i can't even see, like, letters and shit. It's time to clean house. And then ghostride the whip! (That's enough E-40 for you, young lady!)
First order of business: cat macros. You know you love 'em.

King Taejong's Rocky Marital Relations with Queen Wonkyong:

http://my.dreamwiz.com/insight/elist.htm Does the name Hyae-Myeong (혜 명) mean something like "graceful life"? Because I cannot, for the life of me, find a site that has Korean name meanings.
Also, WTF is going on with
Goong's second season? They haven't signed the guy who plays Shin (how can you have a sequel without Chaegyung's husband)? Chaegyung wasn't pregnant? There's an unauthorized spin-off? My head hurts, people.
End of the year music lists make me happy. And my hard drive full.

http://sev.prnewswire.com/books/20061220/NYW11920122006-1.html Note: am relived to have gotten over my totally irrational hatred of Bell & Sebastian. Unfortunately, it has been replaced by a totally irrational hatred for Joanna Newsom.
Also, give some love to
Idolator, if only because they make me laugh. (Example: "The
Stereogum kids love their sweet-faced indie-rockers and their street-based coke rappers.")
Oh, god! This is also priceless: "Nestled among the hip-hop snippets dominating the Top Ten Mastertones chart: Hinder's "Lips Of An Angel," which was purchased 1,090,000 times. Because nothing will make you want to answer your phone quickly like a hoary power ballad that's all about how you want to get back together with your ex." IDOLATOR! *sparkle sparkle* LESS-THAN-THREE, YOU AND ME, LOVE COMPUTER FANTASY!!!
I really should be watching
Saiunkoku Monogatari. It looks kinda like Fushigi Yuugi with prettier art and more politics, or something. Why are there only 24 hours in a day, and why must I waste most of them?
BBC's list of 100 things we didn't know this time last year: WD-40 dissolves cocaine, 1 in 18 people have a third nipple, restaurant is the most misspelled word in search engines (seriously? a non-pr0n word?), humans bite more than rats, potatoes came from Peru, koalas have fingerprints, and a bunch of other stuff.
MILO!
CUT YOUR DAMN HAIR!
