Today’s xkcd is the truth.

301st post: links

| May 29, 2008

I forgot to mention last post was #300.   Wow.  Anyway, onward towards 400: Obama campaigners encounter racism.  Surprise! Old white people know the truth about Obama.  Old people know everything – and don’t you try to tell them differently! A fascinating look at the way two sets of parents (and two schools of psychological thought) [...]

Final Crisis 1

| May 28, 2008

…what the hell? So uh…did Countdown happen on a parallel world?  All the New Gods JUST FUCKING DIED and now no on remembers it/didn’t happen/wtf?  I suppose it will be explained by some kind of life/anti-life thing rewriting memories – I mean it has to be right?  You can’t have a HUGE year long event [...]

evil plants

OK, so Z is back to waking up every 90 mins or so..well, he usually sleeps for about 3 hours, then does that until we bring him into the bed, then sorta chills for a while.  Maybe. The upside is that I get woken up mid-dream a lot more, so  I actually remember some of [...]

politics lesson for the year: avoid pastors?

| May 27, 2008

Seriously, because if you dig hard enough, you can find most of them saying something stupid.  Not that Obama or McCain couldn’t have chosen better – it’s not hard to find either of their relevant pastors saying something not-media-smart.  Of course there is a slight difference in that Obama actually attended Wright’s church for years, [...]

Clinton gaffes

| May 26, 2008

Andrew Sullivan has some good points about there recent gaffes & “apologies”: Excerpt: The reason the RFK remark was so tone-deaf, the reason it didn’t resonate in the same way the two times that Clinton said it before … is that, at this late stage in a six month primary process, the only way for [...]

I love my crab (not that kind!)

| May 25, 2008

Yeah, so I previously mentioned the Villain Epic Archetypes just released for City of Heroes. I finally got my first one to 24, which is where you get the choice of which path to follow (there are 2 starting points, each has 2 separate options at 24, for a total of 4 possibilities). I went [...]

Captain Britain & MI13 #1

| May 25, 2008

Evidently sold out ALL over town.  From the city to the suburbs.  OK, not that there is a single comic shop in the “city” proper portion of Portland, but you get the idea. Anyway, the series is definitely good, but I didn’t know it was that good.  I’m glad others seem to think so, so [...]

WTF of the day: Nigerian cat-woman

| May 24, 2008

Huh. Ok, so they’re superstitious. I get it. Poor 3rd cat I guess.

WTF of the day: people line up at 24hr Apple store for no reason

| May 23, 2008

You can’t make this shit up. OK, I get it. You’re so used to lining up for random shit that Apple people tell you is cool that somehow, subconsciously you decided that maybe the reverse would work: line up and random shit will appear. But seriously guys, this is taking a bit far. I like [...]
