Ravelry
It looks like the folks at Ravelry have sent out a lot more invitations. If any of you knitters get in, go ahead and add me as a friend. I’m listed as “webgoddess.” However, I’m warning you: If I see one more photo of someone’s Monkey socks worn with dress shoes, I’M GOING TO KILL. (It almost makes me not want to knit them! Almost.)

Urge to Kill Rising…
Only one of these people exists.
We just got our invitation to my brother’s wedding. It’s addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Rodd Snook.”The Snook, of course, finds it all so highly amusing.

Kryptonite
I think this Clamato energy drink just might be my Kryptonite. Mussst… puke… now.

RIP Mr. Wizard
RIP Mr. Wizard. I used to love that show. Fun fact: The two penguins on “Beakman’s World” were named “Don” and “Herb” in his honor.

Buffalo Stance
“Gordon Ramsay crashes a car while trying to herd buffalo.” Now THAT’S an intriguing headline!

Summer Knitty
The Summer Knitty is up… and it may be the freezing, nasty weather here, but I’m just not feelin’ it. The only designs that really stood out for me were the bloomers and the lion washcloth.

Dropping Dewey
Huh. A public library in the States is becoming the first to drop the Dewey Decimal System. Interesting. I have to say, I’m a “browser” myself and I always found Dewey constricting when moseying along the racks.

Wii Critique
This critique of the Wii by a “serious gamer” really annoyed me. He’s worried because he doesn’t think the popular Wii games are as serious or immersive as games for other platforms, and the market will become flooded with low-quality knockoffs. And you know what? He can BITE ME. He sounds exactly like the people the decry Harry Potter as poor literature. They’d rather people didn’t read/play at all, if they’re not going to read/play something deemed acceptable. I also resent the implication that the only reason I prefer Wii Tennis to Gears of War is because I’m too stupid to appreciate the latter. Maybe I don’t play games to have long, immersive experiences. Maybe I just want to relax and have a good time. Is that somehow cheapening the experience of hardcore gamers? Pffft. Whatever. The gaming industry has been stagnant for far too long, and I’m happy that there are finally games that I’m interested in playing.
