Hype

I can’t believe after the amount of talk and articles and everything about the separation of the races on Survivor, it lasted all of two episodes. What a crock.

Banned Books Week

We’re at the tail end of Banned Books Week. (Well it’s really more like Banned and Challenged Books Week evidently, cos they include books that have a challenge, but haven’t been banned yet.) Honestly though, if you look at the list of banned books, it’s kind of crazy. I mean, really, Harry [...]

Mango Passion

Last Sunday, while we were wandering around Berkeley Bowl (note to self: Never go to Berkeley Bowl on a Sunday afternoon again. EVER! We spent like 30 minutes shopping and 45 minutes in line), Yut noticed someone with a box of Mango Passion cereal in their cart, which he figured I (or maybe [...]

ex libris

I’m always signing up for online services willy nilly (well ostensibly to decide if I’m going to like it or not). Stuff like Blogger (which is not bad, and really started all the rest of it), or flickr (which is pretty great). Sometimes I sign up for an account, then never really use [...]

White & Nerdy & Hella Funny

This is actually from a few days ago, so I dunno if y’all have already seen it or what, but DOOOOOOD, I just watched it like 5 times in a row and cracked up every time. :)) (via Chris Pirillo)
It’s Weird Al’s parody of Chamillionaire’s Ridin’ (Dirty) with cameos by Seth Green, Donny Osmond, and [...]

Books and Movies for August

I’m going to try and be less wordy this time. :)
Books:
Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett — liked it. And I’d recommend it to anyone.
Death and Thraxas by Martin Scott — liked it. Fun read, but I wouldn’t buy it in hardcover. Paperback, sure.
And that’s it!
Movies:
Clerks — Ok. Funny parts [...]

1000 Photos

I just realized, I’ve uploaded 1000 photos onto my flickr. 1000! And I hit it on the dot without realizing it yesterday. Somehow 1000 seems significant. Of what, I’m not sure — a lot of photos, yes; a lack of editing, possibly. Also, I lurve flickr and photographs, clearly.
Also, I [...]

Survivor

So how many of y’all watched the season premiere of Survivor: Cook Islands (the one with the segregation of the races)? I hardly know what to think about it, but I gotta admit it was v. watchable, fun tv.

Know-Nothing

We went to a pub quiz at Beckett’s last night. OMG, it was so damn hard! There were 8 rounds with 8 questions per round, which means a possible 64 points. We got 29. Yeah, less than half. But seriously the questions included stuff like “Paris Hilton got arrested for [...]
