From The Onion this morning: Solitary Crow On Fence Post Portending Doom, Analysts Warn.

I'm sure you will be shocked- SHOCKED- to hear that I got all sorts of wriggly amusement from reading that.

Of course, the funniest part was the crow sitting unworried on the post while a special crow task force approached it. The crows around here- and most ( Read more... )

I want that purple shirt.

This? Is fantastic. No wonder The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl was so easy to like. That is a list you could frame.

In other news: My goal for the week is to get through it without making any Lovecraft jokes. Please, no one tempt me, ok?

Every once in a while one of my cats will yawn an especially toothy yawn.

And it will occur to me that my whole apartment is full of predators.

However: 50 Books a) is fantastic, and b) reminded me that I have been meaning to read Cruddy. Which I've done now.

It's good. It's horrible. I'm glad I read it.

I will not use the quick update form to type the song lyrics running through my head and POST them ( Read more... )

The mailman comes crazily early at my new apartment. *Go mailman! It's your birthday!* This is a happy thing, because I get my mail now before I have to head off to work. And there is always something exciting about checking my mail (I'm a dork. I accept it.) even though I mostly just get junk mail.

Oh, and Netflix. That totally justifies being ( Read more... )

I'm not going to be crotchety about the Good Old Days on the internet, because I've only been online for ten years, and also - quite frankly- it's not like I'm even all that old. But it does seem like there used to be a lot more neat free stuff available that companies were giving away on purpose.

I got free JellyBellys once. I still remember ( Read more... )

Slashdot made me do it. They did! And I don't even read slashdot.

(There, I said it.)

My point being, *I love Dinosaur Comics so much OMG hearts puppies ponies squid ( Read more... )
