A Small Victory – Kill the (New) Wabbit
I have nothing more to add.
I’ll be in the corner, sucking my thumb and rocking back-and-forth.
Geez. Thanks for giving me another distraction, Linky.
I love maps. I once had a collection of all of the maps that came with the National Geographic (not all of the maps, just the ones from my subscription, duh). And one of the coolest things on the Return of the King DVD is the interactive map of Middle Earth, where you can follow along the paths of the Fellowship and click and see scenes from the movie.
If you are of like mind, check out The Map Room: A Weblog About Maps.
I’ve seen the new Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trailer, and while I’m not nearly as excited as I once was about it, it looks pretty sharp. (I just wish Ford Prefect had a British accent…and I’m not so sure about how they handled Zaphod’s heads.)
Here’s a site where you can make a City of Heroes trading card for your characters. Sweet.

If you can crank those prayer generators up a couple notches, I’m sure my favorite 14-year-old-boy-trapped-in-a-woman’s-body would appreciate it. Thank you.
Argh. It sucks that I have to do this, but my only character flaw is that I can’t work without a deadline. I just can’t do it.
So, in order to ensure that the world supply of caterwauling does not run low, I promise that I will have a new song finished by Saturday.
I have now employed you as a witness against your will. Guess you shoulda stayed in bed, huh?
Yet another cool toy for the blog.
I took Joe Jenett’s idea for PingLinks and wrote my own script to add them to my blog. So, now if you’ve written something that pertains to a particular post I’ve made, you can just put the url for your post into the little box at the end of my post and press PING! Your link should show up in the PingLinks section for all eternity.
I still gotta work on the mechanics a bit. I don’t like how you have to back up and hit refresh, but at least it works.
Thanks to a comment by david on this post, I felt it was my duty to give Mrs. Howell a fair shot. Well, Natalie Schafer was not in the list of celebs. However, there’s also a spot where you can check any two birthdays for compatability. So, using November 5, 1900, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the “Ginger vs. Mary Ann” debate (at least for me) is…
MRS HOWELL (79)
And now you know.
Well, it’s that time of year, folks. We’ve sent our daughter off to tempt the Lenten masses with dollops of sugary goodness. For the next few weeks, we will see her naught, as she spends (I am not making this up) 12-18 hour days on the weekends selling Girl Scout Cookies.
Her troop has always bought extra cases of cookies to peddle out in front of the grocery store or Office Max or Outback Steak House. They make almost (if not more) money doing it that way than from the door-to-door pre-orders. But they will set up their booths in 3 or 4 different spots each day, for 3 or 4 hours at a time, on Saturdays and Sundays and usually 2 or 3 nights during the week, from now until the end of the month. The only time I will see her between now and then is brief glimpses as she heads off to school or if I choose to drive her to the booth sites. (And let me tell you… an overtired teenage girl is not someone to engage in conversation with at any rate.)
It’s all worth it, though, because Peanut Butter Patties were sent from God… um, except for if you’re trying to be all fasting and penitent for Lent. Then, the return address is much further south…
I thought this CelebMatch would be a scientific way to settle the old “Ginger or Mary Ann?” debate (at least on a personal basis).
My results: Ginger 76, Mary Ann 65
But… but… Noooooo!
Oh well, at least I got another theme song stuck in your head.
