Women drive like this, and men drive like this!
Do women take the backseat to men? I actually reflected to the Snook on the weekend how much I appreciate the fact that I get to do all the driving in the relationship. Which is kind of a weird observation in and of itself, because he’s not really giving up any task he wanted to do anyway. From my perspective, I’m thinking about particular women I knew back in Indiana who never drove and wouldn’t even pump their own gas. From the Snook’s perspective, he just really hates to drive and I’ve got a lot more experience with it. So we both get what we want, really.

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich
Selleck Waterfall Sandwich – a tumblr devoted to pictures of Tom Selleck with waterfalls and a sandwich. I am in love. (Link courtesy of Max’s Facebook, where he indicates his SO WRONG preference for Bea Arthur Mountains Pizza.)
I just have to say that I LOVE random tumblr sites the way I used to love lolcats when they were fresh and new. THAT MUCH.

Yurt Alert
Yurt Alert – one woman’s quest to crochet a full-size, free-standing yurt out of wool. A CROCHETED YURT. That is so cool. (Beats the hell out of a light pole cozy.)

Vote for Hickey!
My neighbour Tony Hickey (who actually lives in our old flat!) is running against Tanya Plibersek in the next federal election. Very cool! I hope he wins. 🙂

Baking awesomeness
This one’s for my sister: tutorial for décor sides. This is a technique where instead of writing words on a cake in icing, you actually BAKE the words INTO the cake itself. Pretty neat.

Romeo and Juliet
Kevin has done a mammoth post about love songs for Valentine’s Day, and you should go check it out. The big revelation for me though was that the Killers did a cover of “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits. How did I not know this?! That is one of my favorite, favorite songs. Kevin prefers the original, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the raw desperation of the Indigo Girls’ version. (I remember drunkenly belting that out many times with my college roommates. Yeah, I hung out with a lot of lesbians.) That said, I really like the Killers’ version too. Just bought it off iTunes, in fact…
