  • I did it!

    OK, in the grand scheme of things, and even in my own life, this doesn’t count as a HUGE deal, but it was an amusing distraction for a couple of days that kept my mind off much less fun things for at least a few minutes: In the middle of last week, I brought up…

  • Holiday Greeting

    I was inspired to post this to Facebook earlier tonight, and I think Wil Wheaton had something to do with it: Merry Christmas to all*, and to all a good night! (*Some restrictions apply, see your spiritual advisor for details. If visions of sugar plums persist for more than four hours, seek help immediately. Not…

  • Palin for President. No, really.

  • Funny, but No

    I’ve mentioned Shoebox before, particularly their “Funny, but No” cards – greeting cards that don’t make the cut, even for the slightly off-center attitude this “Tiny Little Division of Hallmark” generally displays. They used to just publish half a dozen or so examples once a week in written form. They recently updated their website and…

  • Movie review: You Don’t Mess With the Zohan

    Hilarious. Chock full of Adam Sandler’s typical bathroom jokes and 80s-centric humor, this movie (Flash heavy site) won’t disappoint his enormous day-to-day fan base. But the movie is also packed with tons of audience-specific gags that are only truly funny if you a) speak decent colloquial Hebrew, b) spent time in Israel in the 80s…

  • Punchline looking for a joke

    Yeah, yeah, so I’m a parent now, so that’s supposed to make me all “mature” and “grown up” and blahblahblah?! HA! We took our daughter to the doctor yesterday, as she’s had a rash on her torso for several days that turned out NOT to be heat rash; she also displayed a decreased appetite over…

  • Geeky, goofy goodness

    I am going to HAVE to experiment with some of our own pics (too few and far between, unfortunately, since I’m usually behind the camera, but they’re around), but ManBabies.com is a treasure trove of silliness. As is this collection of swapped grandparents and babies at SomethingAwful, dating way back to 2004. Also tremendous is…

  • Brain dump, Tuesday night

    I have to blog a thousand things, but I’ll just keep this to the top that I’m able to think of, in no particular order, before my fingers get tired: The evil bastards who control the food packaging disaster that is hot dogs and buns are even more devious than I previously suspected: We recently…

  • I’m smitten

    With Twitter, and with Wil Wheaton. I got a Twitter account a few weeks ago, and started following some friends and strangers and sending my own updates when I remember (not often enough). After I met Wil at a reading & signing at Mysterious Galaxy last weekend, I started following him, and he’s just as…

  • A million kinds of awesome

    Wil Wheaton is living the grown-up geek life. Since growing up geeky in LA, kickin’ butt as a writer in Stand By Me, then being the butt of countless jokes in Star Trek: TNG, Wil got to writing. Specifically, blogging. He’s got the gift, as a writer and a performer, not only to transport his…
