The Top Ten Films of All Time, as chosen by Ali G. I kid you not. My favorite bit is the last one:

10. Jaws 4
Altho’ da first few Jaws flims ain’t all dat, by da time dey made da fourf dey woz really gettin’ dere shit togetha. Me still has nightmares about da bit where dey iz in da sea and den, completely hunexpectedly, dis big shark appearz and den if dat weren’t bad enuf it only goes and eats people. To dis day, me swear me never goin’ swimmin’ in Hollywood where dese attacks ‘appened and instead would choose places on da ovver side of da world like Ostaralia.

I’m still laughing. Ma Snook, you’re gonna love these. 🙂

Roger Ebert has become a full-fledged fight prognosticator. This time he’s assessing Batman versus Shaft. Is there anything this man can’t do? 🙂

Happy Birthday to my Mom! (Technically it was on June 30, but I’m trying to adjust for the Australian time difference.)

Question: Do you guys prefer comment windows that pop up, or comments listed on an archive page? As you know, my site uses the latter. It’d be pretty trivial to bring pop-ups back on the home page, though, if people want them. (The archive pages would still remain as they are.) Whaddaya think?

It’s been a quilting kind of weekend. The Storm at Sea Quilt project is progressing nicely. I finally finished all the big squares and now I’m busy working on the smaller ones. I’d like to get the top finished as soon as possible so I can have lots of time to do the quilting (which I plan to do by hand).

Friday I dragged the Snook to the Sydney Needlework, Craft, and Quilt Fair. It was a nightmare. I mean, first off, the place was full of really mean grandmothers who’d step all over you to get to a bargain on rubber stamps. Then there were the housewives with gigantic strollers (probably to match their gigantic SUV’s) ramming into you at every turn. And then the quilts themselves. They were so gorgeous. They weren’t blankets; they were literally works of art. I left bruised and depressed, thinking there’s no way I’d ever be able to make anything like that.

But now my spirits have lifted a little. My mom sent me a videotape of “Simply Quilting” shows from HGTV in the States. I got a lot of good ideas and inspiration. And my sister received her package with the Bandanna Quilt, which she loved. So now I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy. Back to work, I guess!

I’ve created a GoddessBlog mailing list so I don’t have to rely on people reading the blog to find out about releases and bug fixes. If you’d like to be on it, just send a blank e-mail here.

According to the Celebrity Biorhythm Calculator, the Snook and I have an amazing 94% compatibility rating. That’s pretty darn good. By comparison, me and Pacey only have a 69% rating. Ahh, too bad. (Link courtesy of anon.)

Another GoddessBlog Update: The Backlinks module is now available! It’s incredibly easy to setup and maintain. Go forth and code, my guinea pigs. 🙂

In case you didn’t notice on the previous post, I’ve implemented another minor change here at w-g: posts with extended text. This way I can post extra-long rants (or big fat images) without worrying about them cluttering up the main page. I’ve also rolled these changes into GoddessBlog. (If you’re already using GoddessBlog, I’ve got instructions for the changes you need to make to enable this.)
