Playing around with Tumblr. It's basically like if LJ, Vox, Pownce, and Facebook ran into each other at high speed and exploded in a giant ADHD sprawl of aesthetically pleasing fonts and rounded edges. But, since I am part of a generation of techno-narcissists whose every thought must be documented, I have installed the bookmarks bar link. It ( Read more... )

Oh, also, yet again the posting boards on TWoP blow my minds. I swear, some of these people HAVE NEVER WATCHED THE SHOW BEFORE. My current favorite?

( spoilery, but only if you've pretty much never watched the show. )

Last week was the 16th anniversary of Richard Hunt's death. Richard Hunt was one of the main muppeteers in the '70s and '80s; you may know him as the voice of Scooter, Janice, and Sweetums on The Muppet Show, or as Don Music, Forgetful Jones, and Gladys the Cow on Sesame Street, or even as Junior Gorg on Fraggle Rock. Richard Hunt died of AIDS in ( Read more... )

Oh noes, not my Scrabulous!!! (I actually heard about this a couple of days ago, but...but...why has it not yet been resolved??!!?? Must keep kicking Siobhan's ass in ultimate test of superior literacy!!!)

Dude. Tony DiMera is 62. HE IS 62. Like sands through the hourglass, amirite or amirite? (Also, Deirdre Hall is 60. That's some damn good plastic surgery she's had. She's also a Kucinich fan. Wikipedia is awesome.)

I watched the first 20 seconds of "2 Girls 1 Cup" last night. I shut it off pretty quickly, because I was afraid I'd start to retch and wake Segev up. That is one internet meme I SERIOUSLY could have done without seeing. Makes goatse look like unicorns and rainbows.

To my dismay, Hype Machine has suddenly become super-crappy. I can't find anything there anymore -- I'm constantly scrolling because the graphics are now apparently engineered for elderly blind people and thus HUGE. And GREEN. What are these shenanigans?

Late night thoughts:

I am not a shoe slut, but finding out that Christian Louboutins come up to a size 12 makes me wish I had $800 or so lying around so's I could buy some peep-toes with five-inch heels and red soles and pretend I'm Posh Spice.

The LOLCAT bible wiki is my favorite thing in the right now ( Read more... )

Can someone get Miss South Carolina a copy of Firefox? Cuz when I type shit on Facebook, this handy-dandy spellcheck application makes sure I don't look like a moron. When you're pretty much only KNOWN for being a moron, you should probably take steps to avoid perpetuating that image. For instance: "mine" is not spelled "myn". "doesn't" isn't ( Read more... )

A running list of highly suspect Wikipedia edits, based on IP addresses. I especially like the fact that someone at the ACLU was apparently vandalizing the Pope's entry. They really do give their employees too much free time, don't they? Ah, I kinda miss it.
