Because AWESOME:

- Actress Nichelle Nichols visited the White House and this happened Vulcan salutes FTW! :)

- From cjtremlett: I love these quotes from each of the three recent Doctors. The tags underneath explain how each relates to that Doctor's personality and they're perfect.

- And more Doctor Who mashed together with a famous ( Read more... )

- Excellent article by Ashley Eckstein about geek fans and costuming, and sports fans and costuming. She makes an excellent point; the parallel is obvious but I honestly hadn't made it before. In general I thing she's an awesome spokesperson for geek women.

- Excellent article on the politics of SW, specifically how the political landscape in ( Read more... )

Three fun videos for your morning:

This commercial is a bit long but it's very, very funny and worth it for the payoff at the end. And I would totally watch that movie. (NSFW, language) (Via Cleolinda)

It's HILARIOUS. I've heard the overture dozens of times and ( Read more... )

- Something else I've read recently: a four chapter webcomic called Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant. Neat little story, very well done. Delilah is kick-butt awesome, but rash, impulsive and an unrepentant thief. Not a character I would normally care about yet I still root for her. The stories are told from the perspective of the more ( Read more... )

- Giraffe family. I have died of cute. :)

- From plasmonicgrid: Music note socks that I really want. I definitely want to add more music-themed socks to my drawer but most of those I've found are white, and I just don't like wearing white socks. Not that I've done an exhaustive search, mind you.

- I've had nights (weekends?) full of "carousing with friends" ( Read more... )

- Wow. There's a guy who is walking across the whole of Australia, in stormtrooper armor, for charity. Wow.

- Star Wars Identities is a new travelling museum exhibit that "explores the core concepts of human identity, both in the real world and for fictional characters: their origins, influences, and choices." Sounds interesting! And I like ( Read more... )

- Thinkgeek now carries SW breakfast drinks: coffee, cocoa, and green tea. Part of me wants to *headdesk* hard at the absurdity of it (SW coffee, really?)...and then part of me has to admit I wouldn't mind having Hoth Cocoa, not one bit.

- I wouldn't mind having a Han Solo chocolate bar either. :)

- From Sally: This Jabba the Hutt cupcake is ( Read more... )

Happy Friday! Have some art:

- The Seven Deadly Sins, as embodied by denizens of Jabba's Palace. Is it bad that I think Jabba tickling Leia's head is kind of adorable? Especially given the look of death she's giving all and sundry? :)

- The Star Wars opening title crawl reproduced on an escalator! Brilliant! I would sit and watch that for ( Read more... )

Ah, winter. The time of year when my hair is dry and straight (yay!), my skin is dry and chapped (boo!), and my dress shoes live in plastic bags to go back and forth to work....because I wear snow boots every day to keep my feet warm, snow or no snow.

Here's some Christmas themed stuff, very bleated but still fun:

- Sleigh bells "make ( Read more... )
