Some thoughts (long and short) on various things I've read since last September ( 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... )

Those organizational skills I mentioned last week? I was really thankful for them today. I left the house early this morning for a full day. Three errands, two concerts and one social event later I got home after 9:30 pm. The only thing I managed to forget was a water bottle, but I survived without it ( Read more... )

- CVS is a really odd place for a "Silence of the Lambs" reference. I don't usually read shelf labels that closely! (From @scalzi - I love Doctor Who and I love River Song and I cannot even begin to keep most of their complex time-traveling relationship straight. Most of the time I just go with it. Sometimes I think about making a chart but ( Read more... )

Lots of Halloween stuff, of course. :)

- Star Wars art: Tea time on Dagobah. Very nice.

- I went to Mid-Ohio con last weekend and really enjoyed the art of Sara Richard. I bought three of her pieces: The Rocketeer, a gorgeous horse, and "It's a nap!"...because baby Ackbar is frakking adorable.

- More art: Seeds of the Dark Side. "He's ( Read more... )

- From @FakeAPStylebook: "All distances should be expressed in the standard journalistic unit, the football field."

- Another book for my Christmas list: The Complete Vader. The SW blog has a nice interview with its co-authors, Ryder Windham and Pete Vilmur, in which they talk about all the Vader material in the book. I'm excited to read it. I ( Read more... )

- Creepy Victorian houses made entirely out of Legos. Whoa. Gorgeous. The mind boggles. The first one reminds me of a house I stayed in during a handbell tour through Ohio. It was far less creepy, though it did have a ghost story! (via @katiecandraw)

- Two floppy drives play the Imperial March. Wow, again. Very cool! The mind boggles ( Read more... )

I swear I do more with my life than read and watch TV. And ring bells. And post entertaining links.

The Eureka season finale was most excellent. Oh, how I love that show! ( Spoilers. )

- Today's Indexed is a spot-on view of fashion vs style. Exactly.

- Via vacheestfachee: a very interesting article on communities and community relations. The theory is that there's always at least one person in an organization or community who's a "bathtub" (i.e., a person who does not "add to the efficiency, function or grace of the thing being created.")
